Rating: 4/10
I love the premise of the book and there were a few golden nuggets, but the book was sooooo repetitive and boring. It sometimes felt like the author was treating the readers like robots who had never talked to a woman before. I’ll save you reading hundreds of pages and summarize the book for you:
- Be honest and authentic. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Some people start to like a girl and then try to become her dream girl by liking the same things she likes. Obviously that’s the definition of being an idiot. Instead have your own interests and likes and have your own life
- Put you first before anyone else. Have boundaries and actually keep their boundaries and plans. Don’t be a stupid wallflower
- Instead of spending all your time learning pickup lines and tricks, just actually become a better human being. Because even if all your tricks work and you land your dream girl, what if she dumps you? Then you’re literally at square 1. But if you become highly skilled and get your crap together, then it doesn’t matter who rejects you or what bad circumstances happen. Because you have multiple options for dating and don’t need to rely on one person to hopefully choose you
- Rejection is the name of the game. If everyone likes you, no one probably loves you. Be willing to polarize certain people and be rejected. Instead of trying to learn the perfect way to not be rejected, just be confident enough that you’re ok with being rejected
- Confidence isn’t being fearless. Vulnerability takes average relationships and makes them extraordinary ones. But you still gotta read the room
There, I just saved you hours of your life. The book is decent and teaches great lessons. But the author goes on random tangets and the writing style sometimes sucks. And there are a few sections of the book that are so weird and overly sexual for no reason at all. I wouldn’t recommend this book for someone to read, unless they are literally brand new to dating and have never had a girlfriend!
