Okay I have to say that I agree with everything in this book based on my experience. Before my last relationship, I lived every single one of these points and they worked. I lost my philosophy and have had terrible results. I read other books on dating, but they were always counter to what worked for me before. Going to great lengths to learn pickup lines, etc implies that I have nothing better to do with my time than pursue girls (and that's girls in general!) That they are so high value that I must study how to get them (which implies my low value). I literally used to say "I'm the prize" to myself and I never would over-pursue girls etc. One more thing: I wouldn't explicitly say it, but I gave an aura that I was a man that was going to make sure my needs were met. It's subtle, but it works amazingly well. In other words, I am not dependent on that girl to meet my needs. If she didn't. I'd find another one that would. I wouldn't explicitly state this, but like the author said, women are very perceptive. It worked well because it made me not dependent, powerful, confident, not needy (avoiding all the unattractive qualities) AND it would put her mind on that she had to COMPETE FOR ME (even if I didn't have another girl in the pipeline). As I got older, I thought that I was playing games back then, but honestly it is what led to my longest relationship. I don't think it's playing games anymore after reading this book, and I don't feel guilty. It's just using human behavior to your advantage rather than always being frustrated.
I was drawn by the title of the book... why DO women love jerks? Turns out there are some very good reasons which only take the outward appearance of being a jerk. If that doesn't make sense to you you should read the book and see exactly how King illustrates it! Point being that we can learn something from everyone, even jerks, who excel at attracting women, right? There's great knowledge in here.
I think I would consider this more of a life advice for men book as opposed to dating advice... or at least life advice as it helps men date. The messages are clear - the better you are yourself, the more women will want you. It's not rocket science, but it's illustrated very clearly with steps on how to grow yourself and BECOME THE MAN THAT WOMEN WANT. I'll be re-reading this periodically...
The author makes some excellent points about why women love jerks but the language is winding, confusing and repetitive. The whole book could have been written in 1/3 rd the number of pages more succinctly and been easier to read. Still, an interesting read and recommended if you are one of those "nice guys"
Being the normal "nice guy," I picked up this book eager to see what I could do to capture the "complex" that women are attracted to while retaining the positive attributes of a "nice guy." It was interesting to see how King put it all together in this quick, easy-to-read book. It has really helped me in discovering myself to better attract women.
Hey, I used to be a "nice guy" too. When I figured this out, I became a jerk too. Now, I own my own business, have a couple of nice cars, and a smoking hot wife.Be a jerk, and take care of your own needs first. I used to take care of everyone else first. I was rewarded with disrespect and an ex-wife that enjoyed sex with everyone but me. Now, I am a jerk and have never been happier. Don't listen to that "I want a gentle, nice guy BS." You will get trampled and abused.
I've always been considered the "nice" guy, the one you take home to mom and dad. I would get frustrated to see good girls fall for the wrong guys aka "bad boys" and get their hearts broken. Then I read this book and realized that I don't need to be a bad boy to get the good girls. I just needed to understand why women loved jerks and the rest is history. If you're a nice guy like me then you need to get this book. You'll have all the tools you need to compete with those bad boys.
This book is amazingly accurate about what happens to a guy when he thinks he is giving the girl what she wants...FEMALES don't know what they want!!! All you can do is your own thing and hope she falls in line. If not, at least you're doing your own thing!!
