Let's face facts people. The dating scene now is forever changed. Ten years ago, online dating was frowned upon by the general public. Now there are studies showing that almost 30% of all relationships begin online. Years before, there was little to no competition. Today the environment has grown tougher than ever and if you want to succeed, you'll need any and every edge you can get.One of my best friends had broken off a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart and hasn't been the same ever since. Sure he dated here and there but nothing ever lasted and he was getting tired of the same old dreary club scenes and bar hopping. So, being the good friend that I am, I did some research and while doing so learned a new term. PUA (Pick up artist). Apparently, there is an entire forum dedicated to this group and it seemed like anyone on those forums asking advice pointed them in the direction of this book right here.Naturally, I was skeptical about this method at first. I believed it was going to be another simplistic how-to guide with a lot of substance and no flavor. Surprisingly enough, I couldn't have been more wrong. This book is amazing. I provides you with insightful and meaningful tips that will definitely make conversations much more interesting and pick up your game online. You'd think the anonymity associated with the Internet would make people more confident but truth be told, it only seems to mask their physical insecurities. A fifteen minute conversation is all it takes to find out how someone really thinks and feels and this guide will teach you everything you'd ever want to know step-by-step.Without even realizing it beforehand, I discovered my friend was a natural introvert and that his previous relationship was his first and only set up by a mutual friend. The poor guy never actually had any training in picking up girls because he's been with the same one (and only one) for half a decade. After about two weeks with this book, he's already starting to show significant progress. He even shows me the conversations he has and will give in-depth analysis on the women he chooses to move forward with and the others he's cast aside.For beginners like my friend, this is hands down one of the best PUA training guides available today. It's already the most talked about on their forums so naturally this is a great supplement for anyone wishing to dive into this unique and growing world when they never believed they had the courage to do so in the first place. With this book in your hands, meeting women has just become that much easier.
