I’ll apologize up front for the length of this review, it’s going to be short. I’ve already wasted enough of my short life on this book and I’m not real excited about wasting any more. Hopefully, I can keep you from wasting your time also.

The title of this book should be changed to, "Your Mom’s Guide to Seduction." It’s all very politically correct and designed to make everyone feel good. But there is nothing of value in here. Look at the first chapter and you will get an idea of what I’m talking about. Redefining Seduction, is what this book is all about. It’s really a nice, safe dating guide.

The author talks about "good seduction" and "bad seduction" as if the techniques used differed depending upon the intended outcome. Be nice, smile, dress well, take a shower, and don’t try and date out of your league. Thanks for the advice Mom.

I’ll be honest, I WANT to date at least a little out of my league, and I read books like this hoping to get some kind of an edge, some bit of information that will make me a little more attractive to beautiful women. I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here.

There are many better books on the market than this one. Buy one of those instead.
