A solid guide to picking up women. Very reasonable and natural.
The aspect about vulnerability is really great.

Peguei neste livro a pensar que era de humor.
Revelou ser de auto-ajuda e também com um humor de gajo, mas apresentando uma boa escrita.
O livro apresenta o que os homens fazem mal no processo de conexão com as mulheres.
Aí o livro tornou-se interessante. Recordei alguns episódios da minha vida em que não fazia ideia que estava a errar tanto. Fiquei a saber que o essencial é ser honesto e vulnerável. Ser carente afasta as mulheres e narcisista ainda é pior. O melhor é estar no meio.
Conselhos para melhorar a aparência, a forma de falar e tornar-se uma pessoa interessante. Acaba por ser o que se deve fazer como solteiro e também como casado. A própria mulher também deve ser seduzida.
O autor tem o cuidado de apontar os muitos defeitos que os homens apresentam quando conhecem mulheres. E muitos não sabem e fazem-no.
Recomendo a leitura. Alguns aspectos não concordo, mas faz parte da visão de cada um.
Para nos obrigar a sermos melhores pessoas.

Carte pentru barbati, am citit-o ca sa vad ce li s-ar spune, cumva ca sa imi satisfac aceasta curiozitate. Am ramas cu cateva puncte cheie care mi se par destul de importante pentru ambele sexe, unul dintre acestea ar fi faptul ca femeile comunica implicit si barbatii comunica explicit.

Read this out of curiosity (but also I suck at dating lmao) and Yikesssssss. Some okay nuggets in here but a ton of Problematic advice and a bit of a misogynistic bent to it IMO.

Really like what this book has to say about being vulnerable. The negative criticisms about the last chapter are valid, but there is some really freeing messages throughout that make me want to recommend it to all my friends

First part of this was pretty good. Manson describes a philosophy of dating centered around non-neediness, which meant to me basically that you should get your life together first and then approach dating from a position of strength. "I'd like someone to enjoy this awesome life with", rather than "I need to date because I need validation". He also recommends to think about how you go about finding dates: you aren't going to like the girls you meet at bars if you're really just into reading and working out.
But then, in the second-half, where Manson throws that good advice out the window in favor of standard PUA shit (dress better, go to the gym, only night-time dates, escalate to sex as quickly as possible). Unlike other PUA adherents, he's no misogynist, which is good. But I still found myself shaking my head at most chapters in the second part. What if I don't want to sleep with women I don't know that well? What if I think it's actively bad for both parties involved? What if I think this culture of casual sex is actually super-awful for society at large? Manson seems to forget the advice he gave in the first part about picking your demographic, instead focusing solely on what his demographic clearly is.
Although it claims not to be a PUA book, it certainly is. The author is trying to teach you how to get with a women as fast as possible, not to have a fulfilled romantic life. Despite what Manson and society thinks, sex is not just some free fun: it effects you mentally. By encouraging you to basically fuck a bunch of women as fast as possible, Manson not only is encouraging you to (probably) hurt those women, but also destroy your own ability to find long-term love and happiness in a stable relationship.
I didn't realize this when I read Manson's other book, the subtle art of not giving a fuck, but the guy is also a very clear amateur philosopher, who has not really thought deeply about his values. In this book it really shows.

I've never read any book on that topic, and I can say that here is a lot eye-opening information for me, will be pretty valuable in the life. Written very well, a lot of interesting concepts from unusual points of view.
The only thing I can say - it's a pity I didn't read this book earlier :)
