Men Should Read This!As a woman I feel as though it is my duty to vet the books out there that offer men advice on how to attract my gender. Reading thisbook, I could help but think of the show 'Millionaire Matchmaker' because most of the advice Stephen gives sounds a lot like somethingsPatti Stanger would say to her clients. It's good advice, no doubt about that but it is so basic and practical that men should just know thisnaturally and not have to rely on someone telling them that this is what they need to do.It all goes back to self-confidence at the end of the day and its very hard to exude it, if you have to learn it from a book. This should comenaturally and women have a knack for reading men who are putting on a show. The challenge in following the advice in this book is tobe believable. I think the best lie detectors in the world are the eyes and intuition of a female.I could see a lot of men getting into quite a pickle trying to employ some of the advise and make it look as natural as possible. Forexample how do you get 'soulful eyes' when you are a nervous wreck trying to check off a list in your head. When men fidget they thinkthat women do not notice but our ability to detect weaknesses in the opposite sex is so advanced, it is impossible for us not to seethrough the act.I did not like that the book focused so much on enhancing the physical attractiveness of the male when the inward is what really keeps awoman interested. I think the  first advice that Stephen should have given was to be 'honest' be brutally honest not only about yourselfbut how you act. Putting on a faade to impress a women can only run you into problems in the future because we would expect thatyou keep up the antics. Being honest gives the woman a genuine opportunity to decide whether or not she wants you.When I met my husband, he was so down to earth, I thought it was ridiculous. He did not try to fool me, instead he showed me exactlywho he was and I then decided to let him in. The focus of this book should have been more on helping men to become more groundedmentally and emotionally. Men need to get it together before they even attempt to attract the opposite sex.All men can't afford to have someone Patti Stanger put in a good word for them and select the best prospects. They have to go out andseek a mate using all the tools that they are naturally blessed with. The advice in this book although well written and concise, is not anexact science and cannot guarantee success. Being successful in attracting women depends on the ability of the man using the advicefrom this book and ensuring that every ounce of output is genuine.Certain things can be left out for obvious reasons. This isn't exactly the same as sticking coins into a vending machine and getting thedrink you requested. Lots of trials and errors should be expected. Men should read this book for mostly self awareness not to go aroundplaying dress up.
