Models: Attract Women Through Honesty Kindle Edition

Here's my opinion, take it for what it's worth... I would recommend this book based on my experience, and I think it is great for beginners to intermediate.** Warning this is a long review, apologies for the typos, grammar, no apologies for this being a personal opinion **I found this book after a long journey. And it could have saved me some time. And money.I've taken two separate workshops with two 'pickup industry veterans', one was known as Juggler, the other to remain unnamed. Both were good, from a general view as they forced me (or rather, I forced myself) to re-acquaint myself with who I was, and what kind of values I held, and made me a little more skilled at attracting the other sex. These were better than reading books. But if you only had to get a book, then this is the book I would recommend.This was my journey, and I think it's normal ...1. When you're in your early (I said twenties but really, any age really), and have 'no clue', or rather, 'think you have a clue' ("but really have no clue") one might start trying to solve their situation by turning to friends, female friends, relatives etc.2. In this day and age, being a man who can't get laid regularly seems to be something no seemingly happy male wants to admit to, like depression, or mental illness etc.3. The place that most young (or not so young) males then look (naturally), is the Internet. Problem is ... on the Internet, anyone can be an expert. In fact, some of the stuff, (and you'll be looking at the free and pirated stuff first) is definitely tacky, crappy, and at worst, sometimes misogynistic, sexist, psychopathic ....4. Guys 'learn' this new way, which results in 'results' that are false-positives. I.e. People confuse 'tactics' and 'routines' and whatever psycho-babble for being responsible for the results they are getting, when really, most are getting results from just getting out more and making an effort to meet girls. This gets tiring. And in retrospect, is embarrassing ... it's like being able to start a car, find yourself on a freeway ... and then crash because you don't know how to merge into her 'ok, you look ok, and are kind of funny/interesting/intriguing/ what are you really about? I'll let you know me if you share something of substance (that's not about Elvis's blue hair, or who lies more etc). i am exaggerating here, but it's true ....5. If you are tired of the above, enter phase two. You bother to pony up and pay for a workshop, especially with a good 'guru', then chances are you will actually get better results. Hell you'd better, know how much it costs to see Wayne Elise for a weekend? As the teacher will be able to guide you, calibrate you, correct you, and provide feedback. Also, a lot of teachers are a lot more 'natural' in their processes, than they would have you believe from reading all their manuals which in some cases are hilariously convoluted ... (By the way, Wayne is great)6. This is not to say these models are not useful, it's just ... it's not a wholesome understanding living in theory land.7. After you do a workshop or two, you'll definitely have results ... if only for ... 'I cannot believe I paid this much money, I MUST achieve results, and this SEEMS to be the way, I will definitely APPLY these skills...' And those skills will be useful. But do not forget that by now you are experienced, you have a skillset (no matter what doctrine, or method, or philosophy), some measure of confidence ... and real motivation!8. Hopefully, A few girlfriends later, you'll be a bit more experienced, and wonder ... I wonder if I could have avoided such an expensive route?orI would like to keep a refresher on the concepts I learnt at these bootcamps, but studying notes are a bit dorkish, and I'd like an enjoyable read from someone that seems to know what they are talking about (and you may be able to tell now, with more experience under your belt) that might give me some more insight ... and preferably someone that I would like to imagine I would like as a person, if I ever met them.This is that book I have been looking for - and one I would recommend to a younger nephew looking to 'get in', or to an beginner to intermediate guy like me.Now that I've matured into seeing the process as something more than 'a game', I was after a refresher. Something that wasn't too serious, and something that wasn't immature.Enter 'Models', which seems a strange title. I heard about it on a seduction forum, knew the guy had a blog, liked his writing, had a look, ordered it ... I really liked this book, as the author seems a genuine level headed guy who likes to meet women, is good at it, and seems to genuinely like, and appreciate women - without bitterness or cynicism.I like that It's well laid out in terms of the progression of topics, the author is a good enough writer (I though he was very good actually, in distilling some quite complicated concepts), it's not too short, and he writes with some good backstories, woven into some firm recommendations for putting together your own dating action plan. Which like all good attraction books, makes it a workbook as well as a textbook.Criticisms that this book suffers from grammar or typos probably arise from the fact this book looks like it was put together by a one-man band in Word. In response, I would point out that I enjoyed the book, and with time, I trust/hope he'll make revisions to keep improving it. In a way, I could have avoided one of my 'bootcamps' had this book been out then, and had I applied the suggestions recommended within.Postscript, and a little about me: I was at University at the time I took these bootcamps cited above, eager to sort out my dating life, took a while afterwards but it worked ... had my first gf, she being a your medical graduate, then another Dr graduate for a long while, then most recently, a french doctor (doctors and french girls seem to like me for some strange reason!). I was friendly with the PUA teacher on my second bootcamp, held here in my local country, ended up interning for him and attending all sorts of 'Seduction Conventions' where I saw the best and worst of the people that the 'seduction industry' have to offer. Hilarious stuff too. One guy teaching a course was a retired accountant who dyed his hair purple, put out porn dvds with 'hypnotherapy' ambient subcommands embedded into the stereo mix .... Another was a 17 year old kid that brought his girlfriend over, as part of his powerpoint exhibit, to show the whole crowd what success he was having with his own patented system. It sounds funny, and kind of pathetic - but I'm not going to judge. The audience, me, I was pathetic too. A range of 18 to 70 year old men (that's right, senior citizens not getting any were here too) that were being sold the world on 'how to interrupt 4 sets and get that model'. And all the people in that audience, i thought, might get more value from a big man hug, a raisin oatmeal biscuit with warm milk, and a friendly counselling session from that kind of mythical hairy chested uncle that other families have that is a registered pants-man with moustache and bear-fighting history etc.Anyhow, I'm happy, I'm now now longer .... well ... a virgin, I'm semi-competent with girls, having had a few flings, and a few gfs, and actually have a dating life that looks after itself. If I could describe the whole process, it was a journey, and more than anything kind of a 'how can others know you, if you don't even know yourself' kind of thing .... that is what I would have said to myself back then. And that is ... to sum up, why I liked the book. It asks you to be honest with yourself, and it prompts some self-development. Anyhow, be careful out there. People can get stuck ... I know people stuck in total mindgames about this 'game', who instead of working on themselves, walk around with a whole new set of ideas that have not given them the results they wanted. I think this guy wrote a good book, for beginners and for intermediates ... with some cool insights ... so I am going out of my way to write him a good review.

I bought this because I've seen it recommended on a YouTube video, and I kept seeing it being referred to elsewhere.On the back cover, it has a quote saying that this is the only book you'll ever need. I don't totally agree with that. I've read, The Manual: What Women Want and How to Give it to Them, which I also found helpful, especially the chapter about Responsibility. I also felt Ignore and Score was good. My point is, I don't believe this one book will ever be a one stop shop. No book ever is, regardless of the subject, necessarily.The book goes to deep lengths to talk about NEEDINESS. The scariest word in the dictionary when it comes to dating. You know that feeling where you want to talk to a lady, and the first thought that goes through your mind is, "how do I suppress my awkwardness as to not make it obvious that I'm afraid?" When I want to approach a lady, the thoughts that cross my mind are like the following:What can I say to her in order to prevent the "he wants me in bed" alarm/alert from going off??How do I act as convincing as possible that the reason I'm asking for her number is so that we can study, when the truth is I want to take her on a romantic date?My point is, when I ask for her number, or speak to a woman who I'm interested in, in general, I always have heart pounding fears about her realising how badly I want her, and how much I'm hoping she won't reject me. But, according to the author, if you even so much as FEEL any of those ways, the reason is because you are needy. And essentially, if you're needy, according to the author, there is no effective long term way around it. Unless you CORRECT your neediness, it will be a very substantial problem. And most of the book talks about ways to reduce neediness. It discusses ways to improve you're looks, by going to a gym and buying clothes, by grooming and being clean, and psychological techniques to improve communication skills, and tools to help you stop judging women as being a slut, even thought we sometimes automatically assume it to be the case.Another part I wanted to point out was where the title suggests attracting women with honesty. The title is very misleading, I feel, because the title makes it seem as if the author is recommending that honesty is a "good path" to take when trying to attract women. However, while reading the book, you will see that Mark Manson has a totally different reason. He states that no matter how hard you try to hide your intentions (being dishonest), it's essentially not possible. He's not asking you to attract women through honesty; he's telling you that you blatantly have no choice. He's basically telling you that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to cover up feeling needy, they will know exactly what you're up to.And another part about the book that conflicts with a moral taught in The Manual (the other book I read), The Manual speaks of Resistence versus Rejection.It explains how even if it looks like you're being rejected, she may just be resisting, which still leaves the door opened up to future possibilities. With Models, however, Mark Mason strongly suggests that THE MOMENT you see that she's not interested, you should move on ASAP. Although, of course, there's a chapter that talks about "Polarisation," where the author shows you how to DETECT if she's interested, but he still sticks to the same idea; if they are not interested, move ON!The whole moral of the story of this book is, neediness is your biggest problem, and it must be taken care of no matter WHAT. And, you CANNOT hide neediness. And, if they're not interested, there's no point in changing her mind. Either she likes you, or she don't. Period!Another point I wanted to point out was about being honest about your attraction, and being needy. He used an example about her phone ringing and getting gag reflex. I can relate to that feeling. Sometimes your boss might call you, and the moment you see the caller ID, you feel like throwing up. So, if that's the feeling some of these girls feel when you try calling them, I can understand the author's prospective on moving on. However, I also feel somewhat skeptical about it too.Yes there are plenty of times in our lives when we feel awkward, or uncomfortable when the phone rings or we get a text. But I also get that gag reflex when my alarm goes off in the morning, or when I have a presentation to do. There are lots of events in our lives that give us gag reflex. However, according to the famous scientist, Pavlov, we are CONDITIONED to these reactions through learned behaviour. If for example, a girl were to find out that you were actually a much nicer guy then all the others ringing her phone, she would no longer get gag reflex. It's all about psychology; and I don't believe it's always the appropriate thing to move on right away, depends.Also, I find the author to be somewhat hypocritical, because he states that most women will not find you attractive, and the expectation that they do is only an illusion. However, later in the book he continued to state that he himself had indeed slept with hundreds of women, which I feel is inconsistent with what he said earlier. Either he thinks he's way more attractive than the average reader of his book, or I misinterpreted his meaning when he said "most women" won't find you attractive.I'm happy I read it, because I wanted to read this book for awhile, but I never came around to doing so until now. I never fully agree with any author 100% in any book I read, so I'm not totally agreeing or disagreeing with everything in this book. After reading this, I feel it was very interesting. There's lots and lots of other very valuable dating lessons and advice in here that overwhelmed me in a positive way. I wanted to re-read it from the beginning in order to highlight all the key points so that I could write a much more thorough review to help readers decide on whether to purchase this, but instead of being a perfectionist, I'll just leave this like it is and move on to new books. The next one I plan to read is, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships. But for the time being, I feel you will enjoy reading Models Attract Women Through Honesty by Mark Manson. You will learn plenty of valuable tips from this book.I almost forgot to add, there are chapters dedicated to improving your appearance. It specifically stated to go in your closet and throw out everything in the garbage that doesn't fit you. I literally trashed three garbage bags of old, raggy, hand me down trash that's been laying dormant in my closet. I have been trying very hard to improve my attire, and I thank the author for enlightening me with the idea.

One of the best dating/self confidence books out there! Helpful for all genders and sexual orientations!While not as refined as his later work,this book’s advice is real and works. If everyone (woman included) read this book, the dating scene would be so much better and we’d finally be free from all the toxic performative manosphere bs that gets peddled nowadays or overly preachy anti-men rhetoric from the other side. This advice here is truly transformative and will help you become a person you can genuinely be proud of that attracts people you actually wanna be with. It’ll help you be attractive in your own special way without resorting to preforming premade pickup lines, having to memorize arbitrary tactics or resorting to toxic manipulation/showing off.It’s so good that I’d honestly recommend taking notes because it’s a little dense and taking physical notes helps you remember. If things haven’t been working out for you dating or even social/confidence wise, this book is an essential read.Also, remember to actually give the tips a try, it can be tempting to simply read them yet still sit at home however, true growth can only happen when we step outside our comfort zones!

This is the only book I need for dating and self improving myself. I recommend it for anyone looking to get into dating for the better

Love it, mind changing. Read it with an open mind, but it is indeed an excellent book. He speaks the truth, and the most important thing is to never invest in somebody that doesn't reciprocate.

Super livre sur l'honnêteté, l'authenticité et leur pouvoir

Je conseille d'office, excellent livre.

As I am From India.I See the author mentioning and prioritising sex in first.i hand out of context .But for me,it's about Love.However,he warns and gives many insights how attraction works,and women behave to certain pattern.Great understanding from the female side.
