5.0 out of 5 stars
I'm a believer in "mode one" now, March 9, 2006
Like many others, i read the ebook version, not the paperback (but i assume they're both the same stuff). The author, Alan Roger Currie, wrote many of the guys who bought his ebook, and asked us to offer an honest review and assessment of his ebook. So, i'm giving mine.
I was reading through some of the other reviews, and like some of the other guys, i didn't really think i could pull off this whole "mode one" behavior. Well guys, i'm here to tell you: this "mode one" stuff REALLY WORKS.
I'm a grad student at UCLA, and there was this one hottie that i've seen a few times in one of the campus libraries. The first couple of times, i never said anything to her. Like Alan Roger Currie said in his ebook, we as men allow the fear of rejection and the fear of criticism to "intimidate us" like a classroom bully.
Finally, i approached this woman. First, i just stared at her for a few moments. And she said, "May i help you?" I was tempted to wimp out, but i remembered that Alan said in his book, "Don't wimp out!" So, i didn't. I said, "I am so envious of your boyfriend." She said "Why?" I said, "Because you are SO HOT." She blushed, smiled, and said, "Well, don't be envious, because i don't have a boyfriend." Then, feeling confident with my "mode one" approach, i said, "In that case, why don't we have a threesome - you, me, and a bottle of wine."
She said "Oh my god, i don't believe you just said that!" I thought i had blown it. I was about to apologize, but again, I remember the book said never apologize for being straightforward. So, i didn't. Sure enough, after pausing for a long while, she said, "Well, with an original approach like that, how can I turn down the offer?" Then, she wrote her number down and told me to call her.
FELLAS - MODE ONE DOES WORK! DON'T WIMP OUT! STICK TO YOUR GUNS! I'M A BELIEVER NOW!! I TOTALLY ENDORSE THIS BOOK!!

I Get It! One Book Surely Worth Reading!, March 9, 2006
If you go to to buy this book, thinking it's going to be in the Ross Jeffries, David DeAngelo, Neil Strauss genre, you're going to be disappointed. "Mode One" is not your run-of-the-mill "How To Seduce Twenty Women in Two Weeks" ebook (I only read the ebook version, but will soon purchase the paperback).
As one reviewer here already mentioned, there are no magical pick-up lines in Alan Roger Currie's book, nor are there any NLP mind tricks involved. In the same way DeAngelo markets "Cocky And Funny," Currie more so markets "Self-Assured And Straight-To-The-Point."
Alan Roger Currie has a winner here, in my opinion. #1, he states upfront that his book is not designed to create you into an overnight ladies' man or womanizing stud. He doesn't mislead you in any way. Matter of fact, he actually tells you that if you follow his principles, you will actually get rejected by women -more- than you will if you didn't follow his principles. How is that for straightforward honesty?
He divides men into four "modes" of behavior:
-> men who love to flatter women, and wine and dine them (mode 2)
-> men who love to pretend like they're only interested in platonic friendship, but actually want to get in a woman's pants (mode 3)
-> men who get angry and bitter towards the women who have previously rejected them, and disrespected them (mode 4)
-> men who let women know in the very first conversation with them what it is they want from women, and why they REALLY want to share their company (mode 1)
The book is really not so much about attraction or seduction per se, as much as it's about conquering your fear of receiving negative reactions from women. Currie's attitude is, how can you attempt to hit a home run, if you're dreadfully afraid of striking out? Currie basically says, the reactions and responses of women are under -their control-, so don't worry about them. Only worry about what -you- have control over, which is your ability to approach a woman, and let her know what is really on your mind.
My only minor criticism is that Currie should have had more "Mode One" typical scenarios like he did with modes 2, 3, and 4. Give men more specific examples of obstacles you might run into when you become a "mode one self-assured straightshooter." Maybe that will be the sequel!

Here is the review from CliffsList.com, March 8, 2006
A loyal fan of Cliff's List, known as "The Brian", gave this review of MODE ONE:
"The Brian:
Review: Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking
This last week I was asked to give my thoughts on an e-book by Alan Roger Currie called "Mode One: Let The Women Know What You're REALLY Thinking". The first thing I want to say is the break down Alan does for his 4 modes of communication is probably the best I've read about describing both powerful and weak forms of communication. I realized thru the reading of this book that I get away with saying and doing the things I do because I communicate in Alan's Mode One communication. That is the 'Self-Assured Straight shooters'.
Alan nails his description of weak communication and does a nice job describing why the other forms of communication just do not work well on women. I actually think he is too nice on the other modes of communication, but he does make a point of describing why these modes tend to push women away from 'sexual relationship' to 'platonic friend' or even the 'Eww Factor' (this is that behavior that men do that make women avoid you at all cost).
One major plus of the book is Alan's description of the types of communication that women do not respond to. He gives great examples why men slip into negative behavior and how this negatively affects their chances with women. For example, he gives a great detailed description of why telling a woman (one you actually want to date/have sex with) that you 'Just want to hang out with friends' may get you some platonic positive response, but how that will also make you weaker (since you want her and don't have the balls to tell her) and how she will run and avoid you when you do try to make your move (since she feels you lied to her about just being friends).
Now, Alan does go into what your mindset should be for 'Mode One Communication' and how this will increase your ability to communicate effectively with women and have more success. I whole-heartedly agree that this is the correct communication and wish more guys would learn it. The only slightly negative on the Mode One book is the HOW to become this type of communicator. He basically tells you to just do it, which is a form of Mode One communication in and of itself. I think some readers are going to read about this communication, wish they could do, and not change. Others of you are going to have a little light bulb go off in their head, stop trying to impress women or run game on them, and start having massive success by just communicating from the proper frame.
I've decided to start a star system with 5 stars being top, and 0 stars being the worse. As far as 'Mode One' I give it a solid 4 stars. If you're looking for pick-up lines or openers, this is not your book. If you are looking to become a stronger all around communicator this is a great place to start."
