Excellent Advice, Scientifically-based, Well-written

Sure, I admit I liked the title, because stumbling naked in the dark is how I've often felt when trying to date people, and even later, when trying to work through a failing romantic relationship, or failing close friendship. But as a trainer, I'm intrigued by the fact that the author--also a trainer--based this book on his company's results-oriented training programs. As the producer of a hard and soft science and tech podcast by and for geeks, I read a lot of dating books and websites to uncover and de-mystify the best geek dating tips for my listeners. This book is the best male perspective I've read so far. It's a quick read, and offers practical advice that could be used at any stage in a relationship. I particularly like the "female scale of interest/staying off sides" formula for interacting with women (the car salesman analogy the author gives makes perfect sense), and I also found the "hug quota/tactile needs and energy" concept to be fascinating, along with the effect "tactile debt" can have on a man's handling of physical interactions such as sex. The "opening 'no' agreement" in which "no" is established as an acceptable answer is also logical. In general, this author recommends men treat women with respect, which of course I appreciate, being female and all. ;) Thus far, I'd recommend this book above any other I've read, especially if an individual (specifically a man) wishes to read just one book. "how to succeed with women", by Ron Louis and David Copeland is also quite good (and quite long), but offers a few different perspectives and is very much oriented towards men seeking to engage women in sex as the primary motive (relationships are second, but the sexual emphasis is notable; I offer this as an observation rather than as a criticism). Fenton's book is less targeted strictly towards sex, and manages to pack a great deal of useful, scientific information into a mere 127 pages.

Best Book On Dating

This is the best book on dating. I have read it over three times now and it has helped me a lot. It is hard to explain this book because it talks about scenarios that always happen over and over with women but you never really realize the significance. This book makes you aware of these important hidden make or break moments. It explains the importance of recognizing these instances and then explains that if you are confident and do the right things you're going to create attraction.

Sweet Book That Works.

This book was good and made me think about perceptions of women and people in general. The greatest thing about it is before I read it I would see good looking women when I was out but not actually walk over and talk to them. After I read it I have been able to go over and talk to the women I want to. The part about mindset indifference and aching tells you why women do things and make decisions and why they will or will not want to talk to you. You learn how to approach women in a laid back and confident way.

Very insightful. Must reading for every guy who's single.

This book hits the nail on the head! It touches on all the complaints my girlfriends and I have had for years about men. If men read this book and incorporated its very simple principles into their actions, there'd be a lot less single people out there. It's very intelligently written by new author Brad Fenton. His distillation of behavioral techniques into relationship-building principles (gleaned from years of teaching sales training to businesspeople and organizations) is right on the mark! I especially liked the section on not becoming attached to the outcome when a guy meets a girl. Concentrating on the getting-to-know-you process, not pushing the woman to make a decision and learning how to make no an acceptable response are much needed ideas. We (women) all want a man to listen to us more instead of telling us what we should do. This book explains, in eye-opening language, how men really can get into our psyche and act in a way that will make them infinitely more attractive. I am buying this book and sending it to the all guy-friends I know!
