I was under the impression that Stephen Williams restricted himself to writing books on healthy living, some of which I really liked especially Eating Nice Food without Gluten and How to Lose Belly Fat Fast. Those are a part of his healthy living series and this unexpected book - Best Pickup Lines Learn to Charm can be considered to be part of his healthy relationships series!Let us face it; any attractive woman out there has borne the brunt of pickup lines which can range from cheesy to corny and possibly lewd to positively scary. And that is why a man writing on rather refreshing and amusing pick up lines made a novel change.What I like best about Stephen is his deep insight into a woman's psychology. He also has a charming way of writing without any sort of "Know It All-ness" and "Been there Done that and I can get any woman I want, when I want ..." feel of aggressive behavior.Any sensible woman is going to find this definitely off putting and she is going to slap you down or try to get away from you as soon as you open your mouth. If a woman subconsciously feels threatened by anything you say, she is going to run without a backward glance. However, if your body language, as well as your wit [read charm...] makes her feel "un-intimidated," her next reaction is going to be "well, this person is not only personable and charming, but also he does not scare me. I guess he is interesting..."The moment she begins to think and feel that, she is going to communicate with and talk to you in a more "open" fashion. And you can take it from there on a possibly mutually enriching, heart body and soul satisfying and long lasting relationship.This book is definitely not for those people who are looking for double entendres and sleazy pickup one-liners. Many of them made me laugh even though I consider myself a nine minute hard-boiled egg. All of them are in excellent taste and seriously, I would not mind a charming young man practicing them on me in the exactly right tone of voice. :-)Of course  this book is for those men who want to say the right thing to the right girl at the right moment! But if you consider yourself a Don Juan or a Casanova, using and reusing these lines will make them stale and girls may start considering your pickup lines old hat! So read them, enjoy them and use them discreetly. Do not mix these charming lines with macho "what a big boy am I" behavior. The Jack Horner complex puts a majority of young women off. So this book is for all those people who are interested in starting a serious relationship with their possibly right partners and are wondering how to take the first step!
