Customer Reviews

Ok, the book delivers... that was a nice surprise.

The problem with this book is the title - it's crass and long. It conveys the concept of trashy material. I guess that's what sells. Surprisingly, the book's contents seem to be a fascinating mix of psychology and practical pick-up-artist observations and advice. This is not a rah-rah you-can-do-it self-motivator feel good book. Right from the start it makes the claim that men tend to notice a woman's looks first. And, that while women also notice men's looks, it's actually how a man makes her feel that matters most. And, given that the attractive woman has been approached again and again by guys that want just one thing, they've consequently heard every line in the book; their internal defense mechanism is on high alert. This book explains how to understand their mind set, engage the conversation in an interesting manner, and treat them like a human being. It explains why don't like jerks, but fall for them. It explains why nice guys don't get anywhere. The book doesn't advocate being a jerk, but instead taking the positive traits from the jerks that get the initial contact and to combine it with the nice guy traits that keep her. After reading you'll become far more attuned to self defeating behaviors as well have a number of practical solutions for standing out and getting noticed.

Inspired by the Devil.

I'm writing a book about women at present and The Lay Guide is one of the many editions I have piled up in a corner. I just got to it today and am quite impressed. I first heard of the author last year as I was reading Neil Strauss's The Game. This is not a typical dating book as there is very little fluff in these pages. Just about everything he addresses is valuable, and, I believe, accurate. He shows readers the route in which they too can go from being Average Frustrated Chumps to Pickup Artists. His methods are sound and proven and I honestly believe they work. If you ask me, guys like Clink know more about women than most psychologists because they interpret them as they are and do not allow political correctness to contaminate their analysis. That this clashes with the Woman as Superior Being role society has cast them into all the more illustrates his insightfulness. The only problem with the Pickup Artist and his choices is that the sacrifices one has to make are far too great to be considered. When you're 19, obtaining women is more important than everything else in life combined. Luckily, as we get older, our needs become more textured and we can properly see that women are just one element in the good life. Sex and romance are exquisite, but we should be grateful that there's so much more in the world apart from them.

Useful, but rather depressing

The pickup artist has come of age. No longer relying on a hairy chest and a medallion to seduce the opposite sex, a thriving community has appeared on the net, exchanging the latest psychological tips and tricks that lead to a woman's bed. But these people aren't geeks. When it comes to seducing women, they are the real deal, only granting grandmaster pick up status to acolytes after the 1,000th babe has been laid. And here lies the depressing fact about this book and the inevitable controversy that it has aroused (Germaine Greer having claimed that such men are rapists - seems like some feminists don't want to abandon notions of 'sexual ownership', 'faithfulness', 'duties'.etc at least not when it comes to men). The book is a thoroughly exhaustive anaylsis of what it takes for a man to get a woman into bed, compiled by men who have certainly 'been there and done it' many, many times. They know what works and what doesn't. And for all the complex psychology of 'neg hits', 'NLP patterning' etc, basically the recipe for success is that you have to show the lady you are a dominant caveman. When it comes to seduction, nice guys finish last, something to be avoided when you apparently have an average of 30 seconds to demonstrate to a potential pick-up that you can swing the club harder than any rival Fred Flintstone in sight. It appears deep down, women still want the hairy chest after all. Feminist critics of the pick-up culture, incapable of any self-criticism as they are, tend to miss this point. Instead of focusing on why such macho men want to have sex with every good looking woman they see (and why shouldn't they?), perhaps they should ask why nearly every good looking woman would rather have sex with men who heed well tested advice such as 'Always be in Control (rule no.1)' and 'Never be Mr Nice Guy (rule no.7)' than men who read Germaine Greer or buy flowers. Feminists (and women in general), constantly make misandryst generalisations about men being inherently aggressive, dominant etc, forgetting that whatever essential nature men might have, if we have it at all, it is because women have spent our evolutionary history choosing it as an attractive sexual trait. And judging from this book, there is little prospect of hope for our evolutionary future. In fact, as women become increasingly financially independent of men, they are correspondingly free to choose sexual partners on solely primitive criteria (whereas before at least a man with lots of money was likely to have reached his position as Alpha male through, to some extent, a high IQ and not simply agressiveness or having the biggest sexual organ). 'Love between the sexes is a war', declared the gloomy Swedish playwright Strindberg. If you want to sharpen your armoury in order to have sex with lots of beautiful woman, this book is essential reading. For those who wish to understand the degradation of contemporary feminism into little more than a sexual trade union for embittered mid

TAG

I bought this book and I wanted to say that its great. Lots of the review, mainly the female reviewers here are missing the point. I bought this book because i've just come out of a really hard time in my life and have never ever had any luck with women. I'm not ugly, but my confidence was really low. The techniques in this book have helped me a lot. I can actually look a girl in the eyes now and carry a convosation. I'm not out to be a player but I want a girl friend like every other guy out there. If you dont know how to approach, meet and talk to women you dont know, how is that ever going to happen? It wont and you're going to be lonely for the rest of your life. Knowing how to talk to women, get phone numbers and get a girl friend for someone who has no experience seems like the hardest thing in the world. This book can help over come a low selfesteem. The fact is 99% of the time its the man who has to approach a woman to meet her to eventually start a relationship with her. If you are inexperienced unless you are a guy in that situation you have no idea how hard it can be. This book helps. I love it. Thank you Tony Clink

Combine with Susan Rabin book = Priceless...

Let me start out by saying this is the BEST book on seduction ever!!! Sure it is available free on the net, but even those websites have a disclaimer that the content is a mirror of THIS BOOK authored by Tony Clink. Anyway, this book has changed my way of viewing women forever for the better. I have a deeper appreciation for them now that I understand more what's going on in their head and it gives you more confidence not feeling like you're going into approaching women blindly doing the same things wrong. And the best thing of all about this book IT DOES NOT RECOMMEND DATING! At least not until AFTER you've seen some action. Lastly, I recommend purchasing "How to Attract Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace: the smart guide to flirting" by Susan Rabin to go along with this book because it goes deeper into techniques The Layguide recommends but didn't have the time to explain fully. Techniques like you're approach, mirroring, echoing, even breakups!
