I always thought you could never have enough knowledge when it came to women, there’s hundreds of pick up artist and dating advice books out there and it can be really hard making up your mind which one to choose, so I created this section to list la creme de la creme (best of the best).
Even though I encourage people to read these books and reinforce their knowledge, I can’t say I’ve read them myself.I have a few of these books and have skimmed through some pages but I can’t get around reading the entire thing because I fear it might influence my ideology or writing style.I have asked my friend Dave who has been picking up women for a few years thanks to these types of books to review them and give you a short briefing of what you can expect.
The Art of Seduction
I was honestly don’t know what to think about this book, I found it disturbing to hear the different ways used to manipulate and deceive women into having the power and sexual dominance over his victim and making her think it’s a long lasting deep meaningful relationship when in fact is very brief at most.On the other hand, I enjoyed the plethora of history anecdotes where he uses old stories of
famous men at the time to illustrate seduction techniques, the only problem with that is that those men possesed something in their favor (royalty, famous artists ect…) that women loved but the average Joe doesn’t have.
Overall:This book is a decent guide to seduction and provides some useful information that you may enjoy, some of the methology he used in starting a relationship with a girl leaves a lot of doubt (the author suggests to stay away from confident women and seek the weak and vulnerable stroking their ego by feeding them what they want to hear) but none the less even though some of the insights are rather unethical, it’s better to be aware of them, than not too right?
God Is A Women
I think this is one of the funniest books I’ve ready in a long time, the author Ian Coburn states God must be a woman, because if God were a man, he’d laugh off and go have a beer and forget what just happened while women holds grudges for longer.The books is basically stories of the author trying to find love in all the wrong places (not even love just someone with a positive attitude and non hairy legs), the books humor is mainly aimed at young single bachelors on the lookout for women as a lot of the stories are very relatable.
Overall:Some of the stories are really positive and show how he took chances and succeeded, it also shows how women aren’t only interested in finding that perfect guy but like men, they enjoy having dating adventures as well.For anyone who has read The Game and enjoyed it, this is a must have book…not only do you discover a few interesting facts and tips, but it gives your a great laugh along the way.
How To Become An Alpha Male
Everyone has heard of the whole Alpha male thing but I never really understood it, when I came across this book I thought I might check it out as I have nothing to loose.I wasn’t really surprised to find many of the things in this book to be copies of other pick up artists methods but every now and then I found something really interesting and new that I didn’t know.The author touches on a few self confidence topics and clearly has quite the knowledge when it comes to writing in a clear simple fashion.
It’s the type of book that is ideal for new comers to dating techniques as it contains most of the basic knowledge from other books as well as effective body language techniques and an interesting relationships chapter by the end of the book (something I haven’t seen in any other seduction book as no one ever gives tips passed the first sex encounter).
Overall:Like the “Professional Bachelor Dating Guide“, its another good compilation of many well known pick up methods adding a few unique tips to the table, I can’t say it’s a bad book cause any newbie that seeks dating advice would find it interesting and very helpful but I always suggest going for the original books as the authors perspective is always more insightful than someone who just copied and pasted then added a few thoughts of his own.
I Love You. Now What?
Although I was just planning to recommend seduction books this one of the few modern relationship ones I think should be read by any male (or female) that is in a happy relationship and wants to keep it fresh and long lasting.It is packed with answers to those relationship questions, practical and theoretical techniques that you will need to keep a great sex life and true unconditional love.
It goes into very interesting topics such as “love consciousness” and provides you with a females point of view of what a good healthy relationship should be like (having a females perspective on love oriented topics is what you should keep an eye out for), it helps you find your bad flaws and work on them but more importantly feel comfortable with not being perfect.
Overall:A book full of enlightening tips, joy, tenderness, eroticism, help in the sex and love area and a positive outlook on relationships is what you will get out of it, any of the other books on this page will show you how to pick up girls, manipulate them into liking you and many other nasty things but every once in a while you need something simple that will make a hopeless romantic fall in love with the idea of love once more.
Irresistible Attraction
I had heard good things about this book but never found the time to read it till recently, I started reading it a bit and discovered some well researched information and to my surprise one of the few only books that shows some respect towards women.I think this is one of the best books to learn about body language and how they work when meeting women, it also has some very interesting psychological principals and many other subconscious things you can on women or just meeting other people.
One of the things I liked a lot about this book was the positive outlook it provides trying to help you get a high self esteem, be interesting, have a life apart from looking for women and be patient.It also talks about how you should act on dates, communicating with her the only thing it lacks is how to build charisma.
Overall:This book does a great job at summarize years and years of psychological research and using it in relationships, it’s a book any shy or non sociable person should seriously consider reading as it will boost your confidence around women by giving you the extra bit of knowledge to analyze whats she’s feeling and the best part is it can also be used on other people your encounter and just want to be friends with.
The Mystery Method
Written by the so called God of pick up artists, this book is for the type of guy that just wants to find a How To type of book…It’s dry, not really humorous and provides you with most of the seduction techniques, observations and social dynamics you will need in the pick up world.Although Mystery provides some really interesting tips on becoming the center of attention in big groups of people by entertaining them (like 4 night a week at nightclubs) and with that raising interesting from the opposite sex, this doesn’t guarantee at all you will get laid…not only that but theres not many guys that want to go through all that trouble just to hookup with a girl every now and then.
Personally this is not my style of meeting women as the women in nightclubs don’t attract me but I’m providing a neutral review and I can see how this could benefit many of you, the whole book is a way to encourage shy men into going out more and “mysteriously” this will help them meet more women (no surprise there lol pure common sense) but if your afraid to go out there without a plan, this is the ideal book to get it.
Overall:If you ever read The Game you’ll find this book more helpful than you would if you hadn’t read it, it will provide examples and more information adding to the entertaining stories The Game brings.A problem with this book is it tries to make “venucian arts” (as he calls them) a science, women are not a science so don’t torment yourself trying to understand them, just use the tips it provides get out there and start socializing.
Sex and the Perfect Lover
Once more I’m listing a book by Mabel, not only because I enjoy her insights about relationships, love and sex, but because her books provide information you should all have some basic knowledge about, in this case its sexual advice (with amazing illustrations).If you ever had the interesting in such topics as the g spot, anal sex, role playing, multiple orgasms and general basics then t 1# Best Seller should have royal treatment on your bookshelf.
The tone Mabel wrote the book in is really comfortable to read (34 short chapters) and always keeps you interested, most of the information I have read here and there scattered around different articles, books and magazines but she has done a great job at anthologizing the substantial body of practices, techniques and combined principles and practices in a way thats fun to read.
Overall:I found some of the information to be misleading (Indian men required to the Kama Sutra before marriage) but I can overlook that, maybe it has something to do with her interest in philosophical writer Osho that attracts me to her writing style and information she provides even though it sometimes seems like just copied and pasted out of her last Cosmo “sex advice column ” but I’m pretty sure most guys will appreciate her comprehension of what the female wants sex wise, and will learn to use (or at least practise) it on their next date.
The Exclusive Layguide
Certainly one of my top three picks for seduction books, my other favorite books (The Game, God Is A Women) are more story oriented writing, this one however can be used as a manual.It touches important topics like feeling nervous around women, teaches you want women want, raise their interest in you (without too many gimmicks) and even fall madly in love with you according to the author (a bit exaggeration but it does help you become deeper in relationships).
The thing I most admire about this book is the way it is written to encourage shy and unconfident men to feel comfortable with themselves and with the opposite sex, it is straightforward and very simple…perfect for those nice people pleaser type of guys that are so worried about how they are perceived by the opposite person, they loose focus on actually asking themselves if they feel attracted to that person in the first place.
Overall:This is truly a well written book and I strongly recommend it to anyone seeking to gain abundant confidence to the point where you enter a room and can already see some girls checking you out.It also works spontaneousness, high social value and how to have wonderful interesting conversations with women, before you purchase any other book I would firstly start with this one, once you have learned to have confidence you can use all the tricks and methods in the other books without having to feel uncomfortable in those first few stages.
The Game
This is perhaps the most popular and successful seduction/pick up style book in the last few years, I don’t think this book is valued so much for its writing (Strauss is a good writer) as for the compelling story it offers that little people knew about, the secret subculture of pick up artists and one mans attempt to infiltrate it.
The story surrounds a short bald ugly guy who has trouble meeting girls and is asked to investigate the community of pickup artists studying with the master of them all, Mystery.He eventually learns about the chase, the hunt, scoring, comparing notes and becomes addicted to picking up women and looses interest in anything apart from that till he realizes at the end that tricks and one liners will get a few girls in bed but won’t help him find The One.
Overall:I don’t think this is the right book if your looking for ways to pick up girls, sure it provides tricks like the “three-second rule” (approach a women in the first 3 seconds you see her before you over think and get shy), pretend to be unaffected by a attractive womens looks, play hard to get and a few others, but essentially the book just makes for a good entertaining read.
The Layguide
The Layguide made a semi interesting read, it provides the reader with a few interesting ideas to meet women but others were just too over the top for my personal taste.Some of the advice in this book is a compilation of others ideas and the ones that were original seemed to be stolen by The Game (3 second rule, neg hits, depriving women from attention ect…) some already well known ones like social proof, eliciting values and a few others.
This book doesn’t really explain how women think, it is very clear the author wants to help you have as many one night stands as you can, he shows you tons of different styles and doesn’t care about anything more than sex. This doesn’t mean it’s a bad book I mean even if his quite chauvinist with women some of his advice does work with some type of women (excluding a couple of his “styles”) but that doesn’t mean your going to use that information the way he does.
Overall:This book has a shady perspective on seduction, the author has gone to many extreme length to try new things and find out new angles on women and thats what I liked about it, I don’t condone or suggest anyone to treat women like he does but the basic concepts he uses are useful for meetings women in normal environments.Do take in consideration that some of the ideas the author gives are just laughable, use common sense on what you think would work and what seems plain bull shit.
The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide
Although this is not the best of books, I think it’s an excellent addition to the pick up artist (PUA) field, written in a guide style by someone who clearly has had a lot of experience and always seeks for new clever ways to keep the seduction interesting.As many others (including me) he uses psychological persuasion techniques with women, laying out what has worked for him and what hasn’t.What keeps you interested in the book is his witty exaggerated (and entertaining) style of writing which also shows a slight bitterness he has against the opposite sex.
Learning to become a good Alpha male, trying to appear charismatic (you have to be born with it IMO), and have a good pick up attitude is just a few of the things the author goes into detail in this book.Some of the things you will learn are how to use “influential sexual persuasion”, have appealing chemistry that attracts the target, create sexual tension, all very simply laid out for you to understand.
Overall:It has a very original writing style that keeps the information fresh and never takes itself too serious
