Manipulate your message, not your partner!

There's a wealth of good plain sense in this book, a rare quality that has a lot of people screaming in anger and giving it one-star reviews. The techniques described will dramatically increase your chances of attracting a mate, and some of them are downright essential. (Those are the ones that successful lovers dismiss as 'elementary' or 'simplistic'. Not everybody knows these things!)Is it manipulative? You can use it that way. But there's nothing manipulative about showing someone that you find them attractive, or trying to display your best qualities -- not the ones you like, but the ones they'll be most interested in. You do the same at a job interview, and finding a life partner is a far more important and serious business than finding a job. The fact is that people are not born with the knowledge of how to start up a romantic relationship, and not all of us were the high-school jocks and prom queens who had all the chances to learn it early in life.Let's be clear about this. Leil Lowndes' techniques ARE manipulative, but it's not your intended lover who's being manipulated . . . it's your own mind, and how you project your emotions. If you are attracted to someone but fear rejection, they will pick up on the fear but not the attraction. It takes skill and know-how to present yourself so that the attraction shows and the fear is muted. Movie directors know the maxim, 'Don't cast one to play one.' Leading men and leading ladies in romantic movies don't necessarily have the hots for one another . . . but they know how to act so that the audience will be convinced. To succeed at romance, you have to do what will convince your audience. The techniques in this book will be an important part of your repertoire.

THREE Thumbs up... But a few catches

Beautiful mastery of the english language, chock-ful ofinterpersonal communications techniques and spicy paragraphs in theright places. I lack an extra thumb to give it three thumbs up. The methods I learned are certainly worthwile and easy to digest. Bite sized. The only problem with the material is that I see it as relying on endless mind games. Not good for people like me who get lazy. To supplement this book, I'd recommend two outstanding works that can give you extremely long term results: Ph.D of Persuasion and Magic of Rapport. These three books can make anyone unstoppable. "How to Make Anyone Fall in Love With You" teaches how to get you that magnetic first impression. The other two books teaches you how to keep that first impression forever. Great combos, don't you think? END

If you could use a romance coach, this book is for you!

I learned a lot from this book. First of all, I was made to recognize how subtle flirting can be, especially if the man is shy! I suddenly realized that guys approach me all of the time and I didn't recognize that they might be looking for a way to talk to me. (I've given directions, the time, tried to figure out if I went to school with people...etc.) I'm one of those women who wears sweats to do grocery shopping. (She implies in the book that it would be better if you didn't) After reading the book, I started to do my shopping just after work, while still in a dress and pumps. What a difference! Common sense to some, but for me it was a secret that helped me to attract and meet new friends (men and women). This book offers suggestions not only about what attracts, but why. Understanding the 'why' is valuable; it helps you to understand the perspective of those you want to attract.This book also gave me a much-needed push to unlearn my old fashioned ways and start to flirt with guys myself. This book will help you to learn how to step out of your comfort zone, but you won't get the feeling that you can't be yourself. You'll get a lot of what might be common sense advice for some. But it's perfect for someone who has been out of cirulcation, or for somone who wants to improve their dating skills. I haven't met anyone really special yet, but I have met new people and have dated several interesting men. I also now believe that I will meet someone special, and I am enjoying the personal growth in the meantime.

This book offers a lot of what might be common sense advice, but for someone who has been out of circulation, it's like having a friend nudge you in the direction that you wanted to go, but didn't know where to start. I am amazed at how successful the simple techniques of just looking around at people and smiling can be to open the door. The other tips take you to the next steps. I haven't met anyone really special yet, but I have met new people and have dated interesting men. I also know that I will meet someone special, and I am enjoying the personal growth in the meantime.

Excellent book, especially if you want to know the science

This is an excellent book. It gives the scientific basis behind love and relationships in a very convincing format. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially someone who wants to have a clearly explained "path" or method to social interaction with the opposite sex. I feel far more confident having read this book because all of the information is supported by studies and science and it falls in line with other information I have read regarding relationships. I suggest first reading "How to Flirt with Anyone, Anyplace, Anytime" (I think that's the exact title) first, because it sets the basics for flirting. This book then goes into detail about why those things work and also gives more information regarding those and new techniques. This seems to be the "universal" book for relationshipss and meeting people if you want a scientific, detailed method to try. I think the outlined "steps" or "tips" in this book give the reader confidence and they also help those of us who are very shy to take a chance based on some scientific facts and clearly defined methods for meeting people.
