: “He’s content with his life and proud of who he is.” -> Ahh, the philosophy behind this unabashed self concept makes a lot more sense in my real life now. Or straight-up emotional abuse, depending on the severity. : This isn’t neediness, it’s codependence. : “The minute he let’s her dominate him emotionally” -> Jesus, another typo already? This is embarrassing. : “If you’re the bottom of the food chain, you’re entire life will revolve around the deferment to others.” -> Oh yikes, dude. There are easier ways he could have said this. : “By less I mean that as a man, you should only be willing to sacrifice your thoughts/ feelings/motivations for a woman less than she is willing to do the same for you.” -> What a clunky sentence. Good lord, what have I gotten myself into. I literally just laughed out loud upon seeing this. : Chapter 2: quoting Marianne Williamson. For either men or women, in this self-help genre. : Honestly I can’t get over the fact that it’s really pathetic for books like this–thousands of them-to even exist at all. : “The idea was to get her turned on with your witty banter and humor, while simultaneously keeping her guessing as to what your intentions were.” -> Why tho?
: “The Pick Up Artist (PUA) movement is a men’s movement that began in the 1990s on the internet.” -> Oh my god, what the what. No, it’s a power and control thing, and clearly that lasts through adulthood when you have assholes like this saying the exact same thing. This is why people tell little girls that boys bully them because they like them.
: “Your bold and aggressive pursuit of her often turns her on to the point where she comes around and wants to get to know you.” -> Ummm? This is a huge red flag. : “These are the three tenants of being a high status and highly attractive man” -> Yikes, this typo. I know I’m not your target audience, but Jesus. But hey, I could have told her that.” -> Oh Christ. : “In a nutshell, women don’t even know what they want. Also, yeah, merely relating these stories makes him creepy as fuck. : There’s no way all of this guy’s stories are real either. : Quoting Sigmund Freud on the first page of the actual book, classic. : “Until you learn to trust your own actions and learn to pursue women with your own unique style and personality, you have learned absolutely nothing.” -> Okay this is actually a good message. : “Men are expected to initiate in all phases of courtship (the reasons why are explained in Part I)” -> Oh, this ought to be good. : “transform you into the attractive male you know you can be.” -> I can’t believe people actually read this shit. : “and I even took field trips as far as Argentina, Brazil, Israel and Thailand, where I discovered that much of what I had previously assumed about women was merely cultural, not universal.” -> Well duh. : “and which one of the five Jenna’s in my phone was the one I met last weekend.” -> He sounds like a real stand-up guy so far. : “In our post-industrial, post-feminist world” -> Excuse me?

In short, this book is more about introspection, honesty and being true to yourself than it is about dating tactics though those are in there as well. As psychologist Robert Glover once said: “Humans are attracted to each other’s rough edges.” Vulnerability is the path of true human connection and becoming a truly attractive person. The one thing I valued from the book was this line: If it was obvious, after all, would I have continued to read the book? Mark has incredible way of painting the obvious in a way that makes you wonder if it was truly obvious at all. I found myself reading the book and at the end of each page having a proverbial light bulb turn on. Models: A Comprehensive Guide To Attracting Women By Mark MansonĪt first glance the book seems like any other dating book on the market except for the fact it is the furthest thing from any other dating book.
