The author's claim: "Imagine yourself walking into a nightclub, seeing the most beautiful women in there, and knowing that you have the knowledge and power to have that woman any time you want." The author spent over 20 years tending bar in nightclubs all over the country, including strip clubs.

He has watched men and women try and get together almost every night for two decades and claims the 99.9% of males do just about everything wrong. I must admit, this is an intriguing premise. If you have ever asked the question, "How do those guys do it?" in response to seeing a great looking girl leave a bar with an average looking guy that she just met, then this book seems like a good place to seek the answer.

The book is more or less divided into three sections.

General information - The first part is devoted to giving you some up front information and opinion about women in general. Numerous pages and quite a few stories based on the authors personal experiences do a fairly good job of convincing you of three ideas that form the foundation of the book's strategy for meeting women.

Women are waiting for you to take action. Despite political correctness, the author says that this is what women want, expect, and just the way that nature works. · Even beautiful women (maybe especially beautiful women) are insecure. · Women love and need compliments, and most have never been properly complemented. · These ideas are repeated in various forms throughout the book with good reason, you will need to internalize these ideas if you are going to have the balls to take the kind of action the author says is imperative.

This first part of the book also has chapters on body language and persuasion. The body language chapter is a good introduction, it covers a lot of topics but provides little depth. Mastering this vital area is very important to improving your chances of success. Properly reading body language will help you select women to approach that are more likely to be receptive. The chapter in this book is a good place to start but there are complete books on the subject including Don Steel's book that is reviewed in this site and recommended.

The chapter on persuasion is the weakest in the book. It does a fair job of convincing you that persuasion is important, but offers very little in the way of practical advice. Again, a very good book that goes into great depth on this subject is included and recommended in this report.

Pick-up Survey - The second part of the book contains examples and results of a survey conducted by the author over a number of years. In an effort to completely understand what is going on in a woman's mind at a club, the author had over two thousand women complete his survey. The survey is short, only eleven questions, but it asks direct questions about what attributes women expect men to have and what they should say or do. Questions like:

What top 3 attributes do you expect men to have when he approaches you?

Good manners
Neatly dressed
Pleasant smile

What is the first thing a man could say to you that would make you feel good?

54 actual completed surveys are included in the book and the complete results of all 2000 are documented and analyzed. The analysis shows that some things are almost imperative with agreement of over 90% of the respondents. Others show that some things just don't matter. Good information to have. Very interesting is the list of best compliments received by the women surveyed. My favorite is "Wow, great job God!" Lists of the best and worst opening lines heard by the women surveyed are also included.

Top 10 opening lines - The third and shortest part of the book is certainly the most important. The previous parts of the book tell you a lot about your mental attitude, how to get ready to go out, and things to be sure not to do. This is that portion of the book that tells you what you should do and say. One of the important results of the author's survey was that most beautiful women do not get great and sincere compliments often enough. In fact, many beautiful women had to leave the question blank, they could not recall ever being given a special compliment.

The top ten opening lines that the author guarantees will work are basically sincere compliments meant to make a woman feel special, important, and great! Women take hours getting ready to go out, then make frequent trips to the ladies room to make sure that they are as attractive as possible. A guy that can sincerely appreciate all that effort will get noticed.

The opening lines are listed word for word and are great compliments. I found that some of them really didn't fit the way that I talk and I doubted that I could deliver them with honesty and sincerity. But a couple of them seemed to work for me and felt like "fit". The author then tells you how to quickly move from the opening lines to basic conversation but little beyond that. If you are one of the guys like me who frequently runs into the "wall", you hit that conversational spot where you run out of things to say, then you are going to have to look elsewhere to improve your ongoing conversational techniques.

Summary - All and all, this book is worth the fifteen bucks. Although it all comes down to the fact that you've got to get out there and DO something, at least the book gives you specific things to do and say. It also provides enough good information so that you may actually be able to convince your fragile ego to get out there and at least give it a try. If you are at least average looking and willing to change a few things suggested by the survey results, you should be miles ahead of 90% of the other guys out there.
