Much pua-stuff felt always very limiting. Do this, say that, act this way, feel this way, etc. This book on the other hand was very liberating to me and does a great job encouraging me to do the fuck I want, even if it is something white knightish.
It goes against a lot of classic pua stuff, so if you are afraid you are going to be confused, you will be, but that's a good thing. Out of chaos comes order. I would suggest reading it and ditch it if you don't like it (as you should with every book), but give it a chance and I think you will learn a lot of new insights from it, as did I. Whether you like it or not, we live in a world where men are seriously screwed up. From the early childhood we are being taught to please women.
Most of us don’t have a healthy male role model to follow, our fathers are distraught and generally don’t care about their heritage.

So, while our fathers pursue career, sport, women or whatever else they find to be exciting, a lot of teen boys are left to themselves all the way to adulthood.
There’s no way, other than to go down the road of error and trial. And, with women supervising that road, there’s always a reasonable amount of blame and shame waiting around the corner.
With all that said, there’s no surprise with the fact, that majority of men have issues with women. Unbearable anxiety, fear of rejection and/or inability to have an intimate relationship. Will this book help you too get any woman you want? No, it won’t. This is not one of these cheesy pickup lines almanacs, that pickup community is notorious of. This is a self help book, not a Maxim 10 step guide to become an alpha male, the main point of which is too show, that approaching women is not about creating an alter ego or showing off like a clown, but resonating true intentions, emotions and vulnerability. The book covers a background of an attraction between men and women, and some of the statements are so profound and deep, that I’ve been constantly feeling an urge to make a bunch of stickers with quotes and put them all over my mirror.
But it’s not only about a theory, the book carries a great deal of practical advices on approaching, communication, physical escalation, sex and other parts of the package. I wasn’t able to find a single contradictory fact, every single piece snaps into place perfectly. Well-written piece! Although it still just a book, it doesn’t make wonders. Whether it helps you or not depends on you and your commitment to self improvement. A dating advice book that is applicable to life.
Social status is determined by how you behave around other people, how other people behave around you, and how you treat yourself. Neediness is defined by being more highly invested in other people's perceptions of you than your perceptions of yourself. Humans are attracted to each other's rough edges. Intentions speak way louder than lines, it's about why you say it, not what you say.

Intentions speak way louder than lines, it's about why you say it, not what you say. It comes down to what's being sub-communicated. When in doubt, check your intentions. True honesty is only possible when it is unconditional. The truth is only the truth when it is given as a gift. What's important is you expressing your truth, not the outcome.
A non-needy man does not seek to impose himself on the boundaries of others, he's merely interested in maintaining his own boundaries. You cannot control what happens in every interaction. The sooner one accepts this, the better. Remove yourself from the equation. Don't make everything about you. Know what you want, so you can recognise it when it's in front of you.
Contrast stereotypes to make a more lasting impression. (duh.) Ditch the rating scale.
Instead of 1-10, switch to binary: Yes, or No. Being attractive requires being outstanding, being controversial. Rather than being boring. Reading more widely allows you to be able to relate to more people. Having an opinion will lift you above the plague of indifference in society.
There's a certain baseline level of independence and self-sufficiency required from your lifestyle to be able to move forward. The only important skill in dating is learning how to stop buying into your own bullshit. (Intellectualisation, blaming, Blaming shifts the locus of control away from yourself, stripping your power from you.
Challenge yourself to find the good and beautiful thing inside of everyone. It's your job to find it, not their job to show you. She's looking for the man who can make her feel more alive. Anxiety gives confidence when backed by competence, and hinders confidence without. Awareness differentiates social boldness from social disconnectedness. Drivers awareness course usmc. Acknowledge your behaviour as being bold, so your behaviour becomes a conscious choice to flout norms.
Creepiness is behaving in a way that makes a woman feel insecure. Emotional connection is about feelings, not facts. Make statements, not questions. Avoid the interrogation. Share, instead. Never underestimate the power of non-sequiturs.
Better random and interesting than boring and predictable. This book was really solid until he got to the actual how-to advice at the end, and then it seemed kind of manipulative and gross, not to mention rapey.
It is NOT a good policy to push ahead with women you hardly know until they force you to stop. DO NOT DO THIS. Always ask and anything less than an enthusiastic yes is a no.

Nice Guy or any other book I've read, and I want to tell everyone to read it but I'm kind of dumbfounded by the direction it took at the end. I can't even write a proper review because.wtf. I feel like there's a glaringly inconsistent attitude toward women.
Like he's presenting himself as someone who thinks we're smart and interesting, and that dudes need to be honest with us, and that forming an emotional connection is rewarding and awesome, and then he's also like.yeah, they're kinda dumb and don't know what they want so just look hot, and change your body language, and stick it to them. Sometimes sexual aggression is hot, sometimes it's incredibly terrifying. There are a lot of factors at work, and you can only know if it's okay if you ASK. If that is what a woman wants.you should trust her to tell you, otherwise you are treading on dangerous ground.
Not too long ago I encountered a great article on the internet about John Lennon vs Trent Reznor and how their different fundamental view on love resulted in a different outcome. It is a nice and enlightening article. Less than two weeks after, I encountered another great article on the internet, about how we should not be worried about being an average person. Those 2 blog post are in no way perfect, but it does opened my eyes into seeing things from a completely different angles.

The interestin Not too long ago I encountered a great article on the internet about John Lennon vs Trent Reznor and how their different fundamental view on love resulted in a different outcome. It is a nice and enlightening article. Less than two weeks after, I encountered another great article on the internet, about how we should not be worried about being an average person. Those 2 blog post are in no way perfect, but it does opened my eyes into seeing things from a completely different angles. The interesting fact is that those 2 articles was coming from the same blog, from the same person by the name of Mark Manson. So of course I'm intrigued.
Who's this guy? He's definitely a quite literate person (He quote authors like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky after all), and there's a raw psychological edge on his writings. For me, his writings are the Anti-Paulo Coelho. So it is only natural for me to googled him, only to find out that he used to be a.dating coach.
WHAT.(Because if there's a dating coach and a politician in front of me and I have to choose one to hang out with, I will rather pick nearest rock and try to eat it whole). They said that you should never meet your idol. Well, in this case, you shouldn't have googled him But sure, as curiosity is in my DNA, so I dig deeper and got to know that he wrote some books, mostly on, well, dating advice. And this book appeared to be the most popular one (at least, that's according to all'of'you Goodreads folks. 'Okay then', I think to myself, 'let's see my recent favorite writer take on this field'. And the result is a mixed baggage. The trace of his brilliant literary references is there.
Also his psychological approach on the topic (loved how he keep mentioning along the book about 'neediness' and 'vulnerability'. Although I also hated it how he keep mentioning along the book about 'neediness' and 'vulnerability'. Okay I got it Mark, That's the holy grail). Overall, the book structure was okay, but it was VERY REPETITIVE, that I (along with the fact that this is a dating advice book, not some pulitzer prize winning novel) keep skimming it through. On the content, this is exactly why I despise this kind of book, It generalize things.
It generalize things on a subject in which every other individual are different from the others. But still, guess this one is still a whole lot better that the other books about this, I assume (since this is Mark Manson and his writings makes sense). I have read a book about picking up chicks. This is a must read book for any man who has struggled to connect with or communicate with women.
I was recommended to read this book from a friend and I'm grateful he told me about it.

The difference between True Confidence and False Confidence is the extent to which a man is vulnerable to his emotions and is able to share them with the women he pursues dating. This isn't solely a dating book, it's more of a starting point for a man to start living life more honestly. I wish I read this book when I started college because a lot of my failures with women were due to my neediness and putting them up on a pedestal. Manson warns about this behavior and gives sound advice on how to invest more into yourself, and not to others for approval, attention, or acceptance. Investment into oneself is a key point Manson drilled into me throughout the book and is something I think about every day.
It is what has made me get rid of bad habits and encouraged to read more. I'm glad I realize this now as a young man because the more I invest in myself, the more I can give to a future relationship and bring value to it. Also another key point Manson taught me was that being controversial/you're ability to polarize women is essential if you want to be a man of True Confidence. This was a idea I was aware before I read the book, but Manson gives solid advice on how you can polarize women without offending them by being honest and vulnerable.
His suggestion to approach women as a '1' (I am interested to meet this woman) or a '0' (I'm not interested to meet this woman) in public has surprisingly led me to not be afraid to say what's on my mind and feel any approach anxiety. Also he suggests that any woman you find attractive as you walk into any public setting, make an effort to ask them a simple question or something mundane like 'where can I find this?' Or even 'how's your day?' Just by following such simple advice it has helped me be more open to women and even lead me to go more dates because I'm progressively desensitizing to approaching women in a honest, vulnerable, and confident way. Manson effectively organizes the book by the categories Honest Living, Honest Action and Honest Communication. He mentions that a goal for a man with True Confidence is to be adequate in all three areas.
Honest Living deals with the fact that a man should first be in a career/job field he enjoys. Honest Action deals with how the man can be more honest, vulnerable, and open with his emotions to women. Honest Communication is effective the man is in polarizing women and being clear with his beliefs and not compromising himself to impress women. This book is highly recommended for any man who is serious on improving his dating lifestyle and his life in general. It will encourage you to invest in yourself and be more vulnerable. Wow, just wow. This is so fucked up.
Trying to benevolently overlook all that's bad about this, the author actually makes some good points (though if they're new to you, seek help). What's in Models? 3 main points: Be interesting, be interested, and don't be such a fucking retard. Can't argue with those except the author seems to think they are only important to connect with women. There is so much wrong with this book that I found it very hard to take seriously at all. Starting with the fact th Wow, just wow.

There is so much wrong with this book that I found it very hard to take seriously at all. Starting with the fact that everything is repeated time and time again to make a book out of what should have been a short essay, to the author constantly telling me what I am like, what I want, and what I like, telling me what women are like (here's some news: Not all men are alike, and so aren't women), and basically projecting his issues on all of man-kind like a first year philosophy student, I found myself pressing the next page button at record speeds. Pro tip: You really only need to read the first sentence of every paragraph, and even those repeat. How shall I put this? It sounds like women are the only important thing in this man's life, to the point that I was constantly offended, because on every single page there is a bit that reminded me of how little the author must think of me because I was born with a dangly appendage.
How am I supposed to take any advice from someone like that? From the first time I came across Manson's blog I though he might be my spirit animal since he gives a great advice on life and how not to be a needy crazy bitch-person. I am less of a needy crazy bitch-person because of his writings and I am definitely grateful for that. Having in mind that I am not the target audience for Models, it might be unsurprising that the book didn't strike the chord as eye-opening.

It was quite interesting to know a bit more about the possible mindsets - it seems that the target of Models is living in a world full of identity crisis based on shitty advice and unleveled/biased expectations. Which was sad, because the apperently a revolutionary book is based on idea that women are humans as well as men. I literally quote the book: 'Women are people, too.' It's very unsettling to know that its not common knowledge.

In any case, it is nice to know that compared to 2005, less people are looking stereotypically into other people and try to keep contact with them based on mutual interests, respect and humor, while at the same time improving their communication and other skills. Hope this tendency will keep up.

Whatever happened to all the real men? Oh, we see plenty of masculine imagery in movies and TV. Healthy, successful, attractive guys with gorgeous women hanging all over them. We yearn to be those men – but these images don’t tell us how to become like them. Maybe we try to fake it by buying a nice suit or an expensive car – but deep down, we know we’re just pretending, so nothing really changes.
I used to be a guy like that too – faking my way through life, bored at my job, always in the “friend zone” with the women I wanted dreaming big and hoping next year would be different but living all too small. That all changed when I found out where the REAL male mentors are built strong friendships with them and let them teach me how to take back my masculine power once and for all. These powerful men told me things my father never told me about women, finance, physical health, and how to become the strongest version of myself. And after a decade of intensive mentorship, I now want to pass this knowledge on to you. It’s time to shatter your chains, and start living the life you know you deserve – as a strong grounded man. I’m offering my exclusive 90-minute, 30-video training course on becoming a strong, grounded man absolutely FREE, for a very limited time.

Since 2007, he’s been consulting with men on their emotional and psychological issues. He’s worked with thousands of men from nine different countries and given talks in over 25 different cities worldwide.
Mark has been a digital nomad since 2009. He has visited/lived in over 50 different countries and currently speaks three languages. He currently resides in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Early Challenge Mark was 20 when he broke up with a woman who he loved. He fell into a state of hopeless depression and hit a big low point in his life. And as a result, he immersed himself into personal development to grow into the man he wanted to become. Ah-Hah Moment Mark started reading books to start developing himself and picked up the book The Game by Neil Strauss.
After trial and error Mark got pretty good at meeting and taking women home in a relatively short amount of time to the point where he was coaching other men. Mark quickly realized that the “pick up” lifestyle was lacking a fulfilling and enriching life so Mark transitioned into where he is now with life, manhood and dating advice.
