One word -- Horrible!Reviewed by Magnetic, 2006-01-27
The title is misleading. This is NOT a book that will help you attract women. This book is specifically geared toward improving business relationships with women, and possibly making friends with unattractive women. The grammer and typo's in this book are ridiculous. For example, as I just FLIPPED open the book to a RANDOM page I'm able to spot one right away. This line says: "Is you chest is heaving?" [page 51, first line] -- Now, if that makes sense somehow and I'm not seeing it, definitely buy this book right away, I totally must be reading it wrong.
Not worth the timeReviewed by Curious by Nature, 2005-09-24
This is my first review on amazon, but after finishing this book a
few moments ago I felt compelled to share my experience.
This book is about 15 pages of content and 80 pages of filler and
speculation on human behavior, based solely on the authors
experience at mostly parties and work, where he is a marketer, not
a researcher. It is entirely subjective, anything but concise, and
lacks any sort of scientific substance or foundation. The author
puts too much weight on the effect of body language, to the
absolute exclusion from consideration of any other factors or
variables that may have contributed to the results of his examples,
which are entirely circumstantial. The only credential he might
have for this analysis above or beyond an average person is that he
participated in a behavioral study in college. He obviously didn't
pay much attention, and I'm not sure that he has read literature on
any related subject since that experience. Most of Wood's
suggestions come naturally from exercising, having decent posture,
and being confident. There, the previous sentence saved you the
trouble of having to read this book.
I gave this book 2 stars, because it is possible that it might make
you think about some of the points that Wood makes, and you might
actually learn something by comparing his ideas to your own
experience. If nothing else, it could simply make you more aware of
your interaction with people in general and, if you are a
neanderthal, make you less aggressive towards women. Unfortunately,
if the information is believed as presented, you will probably miss
what is really happening in the exchange anyway.
Do not buy this if you're looking for sexReviewed by ono1976, 2005-03-09
Basically, this book tells you how to make women feel comfortable
enough to talk with you on a FRIENDLY basis. The author's attitude
towards male-female relationships is simple:
(1) men should learn from females and use bodily
display/postures
to call attention to male "sexual" features, namely the chest, the
crotch, and the butt. However, the author is adament about using
very specific postures as opposed to gross displays.
(2) men should let women do the approaching and let women control
the relationship from the outset and practically all of it's
subsequent development. Men are to sit back and not interfere,
except to use body language to stimulate more responses from women,
and to follow her lead in conversation, behavior, etc.
(3) the main goal of any man reading this book, according to the
author, is to form more FRIENDSHIPS with women. The author
occasionally suggests that "you never know" where these
passive-aggressive interactions will lead, but that the ULTIMATE
goal is to develop more friendships with women.
The bottom line with this book is that it is excellent for people
like me who wish to know what kinds of behaviors women interpret as
threatening/hostile as a opposed to friendly. This book does an
adequate job of covering these issues. However, the author seems to
be overly pre-occupied with avoiding any kind of behavior which may
displease women. In none of his personal accounts of his various
experiences with women does he make any genuine "move", that is, he
never does anything to make his sexual interest known. He
essentially pretends that he is not interested in a woman sexually,
and simultaneously postures himself in order to call attention to
his groin, his chest, and his butt. The author contends that these
behaviors arouse women on a subconscious level, which might be
true, but he gives no real evidence to support his claims. He
basically tells you stories about interactions with women which he
considers to have been "successful", and then attributes the reason
for those successes to his body language/postures. At best, the
body language the author suggests WILL make a man seem quite
harmless to most women. BUT, it seems quite clear that most of the
women he encountered only liked TALKING with him as a friend, not
as a potential lover (based upon his own accounts...no
interpretations needed). By avoiding any overtly sexual signals on
his part, including minimizing the amount of time he looks at a
woman in the face or at her body, and by ALWYAYS remaining casual
and NEVER invading a woman's personal space...by doing all of these
things, the author practically guarantees that no woman would ever
think that he is more than a nice guy to talk to and/or a valuable
employee or coworker. This book does give some interesting ideas on
how eye contact and posture can affect women, but the analysis is
mostly rhetorical and anecdotal. You will not find much here to
stimulate deeper thought into the subject, and genuine insights are
sparse. Still, the book did make me aware of some potential
misinterpretations which might occur as a result of certain
postures. This book falls FAR short of it's implied promise of
teaching you how to "turn on" women. At best, it only gets you a
step farther than doing nothing at all.
Misleading titleReviewed by book worm, 2004-11-28
The title of the book is misleading. It should have been called
"Male Body Language That Allows You to Work With Women".
If you intend to buy this book to help you be more sexually
successful with women then I advise you not to. You're better of
with Ron Louis & David Copeland's "How to succeed with
Women".
This book only show you body languages that make you less of a
threat to women, so that they see as a friend and so they get along
with you better. It may be useful in a work environment but it will
not help you to be sexually successful with women.
I have had success using this book!Reviewed by Anonymous, 2004-07-04
(...) Basically, what this book is about is how men and women are always sending sexual signals in the form of body language. Women are kind of lucky because they have more techniques to use than men, but the few techniques men have are discussed in this book and do make women sexually excited and can even give you added conifedence and power at school or at work. I think this book was well worth the cost. I have noticed since using these techniques women seem more aggresive in wanting to get closer to me and in getting my attetnion. Like the author says, its natural for women to be aroused and attracted by the male body, might as well use standing and sitting positions that trigger their hot response buttons!
