Customer Reviews

Intentionally Excellent

The June 7, 2003 review is all wrong and does not seem to "get it." Could it be an author of a competing book? Probably. Each point is exagerrated and inaccurate.[Another reviewer flipped through the book at an airport, read one sentence, got on the internet, tracked down this book and decided to write a whole review on it? Sounds fishy. Probably another competing author.]-The book says that SOMETIMES (not all the time) when a girl is not responsive it is because her switch is off (e.g., she has a BOYFRIEND). Nothing wrong with that statement in the book.-Girls don't like being grabbed by surprise while they are walking somewhere. Book says it is better to wait until a girl is situated and comfortable before approaching her. The book DOES NOT say to follow or stalk a girl. You can watch a girl with your eyes and wait until she is not moving. Nothing wrong with that statement in the book.-Often guys will compete over the same girl. The book DOES NOT talk about fistfights breaking out among guys. The book tells you how to compete with other guys in cool and calm manner. (e.g., tell the girl you'll talk to her when she's a has a minute).-If a girl lies and says she has a boyfriend, then that is GOOD. You don't have to waste time talking to someone who is not interested. The point in the book is that you shouldn't waste time talking to girls who have boyfriends or say that they do. If you ask them if they have a boyfriend after five minutes, you a better off than waiting a half hour. THE BOOK IS RIGHT ON TARGET ON THAT.-The 5 opening lines listed are supposed to be said in good humor just to break the ice, not to hit a home run. If you say in a casual, fun way you can't go wrong. I don't know what the problem is of the angry writer who calls men "scumbags" several times in her review. Her "scumbag" is just a guy trying to talk to her and get to know her.-Alcohol is a social drink and always has been. The book carefully says not to drink too much. It says to be careful and just have one or two to loosen up and not be stiff. Alcohol is served at every party, wedding, social function, sporting event, concert, etc. in the free world. What is the writer's problem?The book is totally informative and very humorous too. The book works. It is great and has helped me get tons of girls. If any book will change your life, it is this one. I have recommended it to all my friends. I have had to buy it a few times because I never get it back when someone borrows it. Other people take it without asking and never give it back.I would love to debate that angry writer. She's clueless (if it even is a girl - you don't know on the internet).

Interesting Stuff Gabe- This'll Get You Guys Some Chickies

I picked up this book at the local [store] and have to admit, as a woman, I was entertained and not offended. I also have to say that much of the techniques, learned obviously with years of experience, are creative. This is a book about picking up girls and getting through the hard part. It is not the male equivilent to the rules and does not teach manipulation and dishonesty. It probably will make both parties more comfortable with each other. For under ten bucks and about an hour of your time, I must admit, dating life and beyond should be vastly improved.

Howard Stern was right!

Wow!...this book is great!...Howard Stern was right. I bought this book on-line after I heard Howard complimenting it on the radio. "The Guide" is so funny yet true. I definitely plan on giving it to my single friends on Christmas. A big thumbs-up!

Just when you thought you knew it all

After you have been picking up girls for a number of years, and been even remotely successful at it, you think that no book (basically no other guy) could tell you anything you don't already know. I saw the author on CNN and got the book just to prove to myself that I didn't need it. However, this book is full of all those really simple things that girls respond to that we all forget over time. There were even things that I never thought of and some great tips. It is not politically correct (and good for a real laugh in places), but I would suggest that girls read it too if they want to get a handle on what we are thinking. Quick read. Definitely worth it.

AMAZING BOOK

This is an amazing book because it is both hysterically funny and immensely informative. The techniques in the book are clear and well-explained. I couldn't put it down until I finished it which is my personal test of whether a book is any good. I am happy to recommend the book to everyone.
