Body Language

I got this book not long ago and was so interested in what the author had to say, started reading it right away. It is very engaging and easy to follow. I love the way the author talks about someone else but it is easy to apply all the information to yourself. There is not as many graphical depictions of the gestures that I would like to see but the explanations are easy to follow. You can always just practice the ones that she does not provide a picture for, with a friend until it looks right. Fun, entertaining and useful.

It Works!

I have been in and out of two serious relationships in the last four years, unfortunately they both were with the wrong men. This past summer I decided to try online dating. In the beginning of the summer I was having little luck on my dates. However, after reading "Seven Days to Sex Appeal" and practicing the advice I have had several second and third dates with wonderful men. While practicing to be more conscious of my body language, I realized I use to look away or down, I even believe I smiled too much. I noticed it is better to smile only when appropriate (smiling too much can make me look submissive) and focus more on eye contact. This has made me appear more intriguing and mysterious and allows the man to notice me more and keep the conversation going in the right direction. I believe the book has given me the necessary tools I needed to feel confidant and attractive. I am recommending this book to all of my girlfriends even the married ones.

Helped Me Relearn to Flirt

I must be truthful. After an acrimonious divorce, I gave up on men for quite a long time. I was actually quite content working and raising my daughter. An acquaintance (with good intentions) gave me this book. At first, I was insulted. I began to browse through the book and realized it has been some time since I actually flirted with men. It is NOT like riding a bike. As I've gotten older, I realize I need to use some strategies as I no longer have the spontaneous energy that youth and beauty so graciously provide. So, I decided to try one of the tactics at a retirement party I was invited to. Lo and behold, I managed to "flirt" and communicate my interest to one of the guests. When that worked, I decided to use some of the strategies during my daily routines. Without going into which behaviors I chose, I can honestly say that the guidelines helped me to meet some eligible men. Have I met Prince Charming? No. But at least I have been able to empower myself and control the signals I now send out. After reading this book, I am less rusty in the ways of "seduction" and have some valuable tools to change my life. I might even be willing to kiss a few frogs along the way!

Fabulous Book!!!

FANTASTIC!!! I had so much fun going through it and it works! A friend and I practiced the sex appeal techniques together. We are both struggling to lose weight and thought this would be a new approach to attracting the opposite sex. We then went out on the town to try the techniques out..AMAZING!! We both got more attention than we had before, which did wonders for our self-esteem. Since this book also teaches you how to read a guys signals I was able to tell when I was gaining or losing interest. I also enjoyed the chapter on combining power techniques with sex appeal at work to improve job performance. I totally disagree with the person who said this book was anti-feminist. I think it empowers women in a positive, self-affirming way. It says; "You don't have to change the way you look in order to get the guy. You can get him the way you are using what you already have to your advantage." The only question I have for the authors is; When is the sequel for men coming out?

A great book if you are willing to really try it!

I thought this book was great! It was easy to read - I actually enjoyed the layout and the creative approach the book took to tell the story. It was an easy read, with lots of information and graphics to highlight the main points. I also enjoyed the "text boxes" throughout the book because it highlighted specific research to back the authors points and observations. The previous reviewer clearly didn't understand the book, or its audience, and instead focused on small points out of context. The truth is that our non-verbals and body language tell others a lot about who we are, and understanding this only improves our ability to do better in all aspects of our lives. This book is not dated, but if anything is revolutionary! Read it and see for yourself - I highly recommend it.
