Customer Reviews

Why can't these guys write as good as they seduce.

The book is well meaning but the back and forth reading is making my head spin, the constant breaks to include a lesson makes me forget what I was reading on the previous page forcing me to go back and read it again just to understand the lesson and then once I understand what is in that part I have already forgotten where I am in the book. Was what you've just read confusing, well that's the experience of reading this book.

Don't judge a book...

I've never seen his show, but as a single male/amateure psych student, I was very impressed with this book. The blurb "how to get beautiful women in bed" is somewhat misleading - while many of Mystery's techniques could be misused, he asserts that it's not about "scoring one-night stands" or "becoming a cookie-cutter pickup artist." His emphasis is on learning to initiate a RELATIONSHIP with the woman of your choice, and while this may always be a competitive game among us males, he largely avoids resorting to duplicity. Mystery spells out in clear terms what women gauge a man's "value" by, including health, financial independence, confidence, persona, and social skill; and offers his own advice on how to SUBSTANTIALLY improve yourself in these areas. He does NOT offer a "quick fix." He goes on to explain the dynamics of social interaction; how to read a woman's otherwise mysterious cues; what the specific phases of courtship are, and how to handle each of them WITHOUT CUTTING CORNERS; and how to circumvent the learned defensiveness of women who have become innured to an excess of attention. If some take offense at his ideas, bear in mind that Mystery emphasizes practicality over sentimentality. The fact is that men - including otherwise decent guys who suffer from social anxiety - are not born into the world knowing these things. I think that overrall, this book will do more good than harm.

Sociologically Brilliant

"Mystery" could easily re-pen this work as a sociology of human mating in the 21st century. Because of the frankness of the point of the book, to help men get beautiful women into bed, he is able to write honestly about the dynamics of attraction in a world in which our drives don't match our social models. This morally neutral and unapologetically forethwrite manual unveils the reason why both men AND WOMEN find it so difficult to form relationships using what our heads tell us should work. The good news is, the author has developed ways to make attraction work in venues and social settings that actually serve more to hinder relationship than help it. Still, like any self-help manual, it's useless unless you apply it. Learning how to demonstrate the reasons why a women should be interested in you in a short amount of time does take effort and can feel "forced". But, if you are ready to make it happend and stop waiting for it to happen, this book is the fasted way to get started. At least, that's what I've found.

Excellent Book

I really enjoyed reading this book. It's a quick easy read, that you will refer back to time and time again. The thing I like best about The Mystery Method, as opposed to other "pick up" books, is that it isn't about manipulating people, taking advantage of girls, or getting laid. It primarily serves you with a structure for meeting new people. It shows you the steps it takes to move through an interaction, from the first word to many dates later. This book will help you make friends!! It shows you what you are doing wrong and what you should be doing.

Excellent, if dry

You should read "The Game" by Neil Strauss first - Neil's book is a very entertaining read. This book is a textbook, pure and simple. The information is outstanding, but it's not meant to be entertaining, just informative. The book is not hard to understand at all, if you've read "The Game" first. For those who say "Act naturally and practice, you don't need advice books", everyone can benefit from coaching. Even Michael Jordan acknowledged how coaches helped his basketball game. In response to the reviewer that compained about PUA's manipulating females, women have men beat in the manipulation game by a country mile. Women manipulate to obtain money and resources for men, and there are entire industries devoted to it (women's magazines, clothing, makeup, plastic surgery, etc.). The PUA community is only an attempt to level the playing field.
