skimmable. i sadly have morals and am too tired to consistently have any kind of seduction strategy. robert greene is the charmer and rake type of seducer because i was tempted to keep reading for the simple desire to find out what kind of seducer i was and he's unapologetic about how manipulative a lot of this is. great thorough examples from history, but it gets repetitive!
Fantastic book on historical seducers. Took me ages to finish but was well worth it.

This book is just... Cringeworthy.
I just felt secondhand embaressment constantly.
Although on a different level the feeling is like reading "Mein Kampf". You're seing it as an obnoxious and crazy thing while the author tries to sell it as if it's the greatest thing out there.

A bit slow and repetitive.
Definitely evil.
I think that the process of seduction should be talked about in a more respectful way.
However, I have gained insights on how my behaviors might be negatively affecting me in relation to others.
I'm a bit clueless when it comes to relationships, so it definitely helped me.
The problem is that I feel dirty now; I used to be very naive when it comes to relationships.
It got me out of the gutter and made me start having a way more playful approach to it, and start considering seduction as an art. (yep, that's the title of the book).
Of course, there are examples in the book where the seducer absolutely breaks the other person.
Yeah, this is bad; some people are criticizing Greene for inciting it.
I don't have much experience, so I don't know if this is really needed/dangerous.
It definitely has a "rapey" vibe, though.
On someone kind, it will make them a bit more pushy (good).
On someone who doesn't know boundaries, it will cause catastrophies.
Good luck everyone!

You have to be able to take it for what it is. A book on the psychology of human beings and seduction. Greene is so good at breaking things down to every little aspect, and he does it again here. Fascinating to see how people are the way they are when it comes to love and seduction.
