Publisher's Summary

For men, love is a high-stakes gamble. The right woman can be the best part of a man's life, and the wrong one can lead to personal and financial ruin. In today's climate, no man should venture into romance without a reliable risk-management strategy.

The Tactical Guide to Women delivers a solid plan for allowing the right women into your life, and keeping the wrong ones at a safe distance. You'll discover how to:

  • Identify good women of low drama and high character
  • Reduce your vulnerability to women who seem perfect for you - but aren't
  • Spot the early warning signs of emotional instability

You'll also learn:

  • Critical techniques for seeing women clearly
  • The most common mistakes that lead men into disastrous relationships
  • How to reduce the odds of a good relationship going bad

Impeccably researched and backed by the author's decade of clinical experience, The Tactical Guide to Women provides men with desperately needed, rarely discussed strategies for finding sanity, joy, and companionship. This is not another book about getting laid. This book is about not getting screwed.

Warning, the book is as much about self assessment

Each listen reveals more truth for me and when I remember to do it, I turn the ideas around towards myself, as if I were her, evaluating me.

Surprisingly Insightful

I was assigned this book and was not excited based on the title. 'Tactical Guide to Women' had me expecting sneaky and sleazy ways for guys to get with women. I was going to find an excuse to take a pass on the book, when I saw the ratings and reviews on audible. With audible's amazing return policy, I figured there was no harm in giving it a shot. I was beyond impressed with the author's mix of anecdotal evidence and research based observations. The book covered many of the areas needed for a man to make a relationship work. Give this book a try!

This Book is a MUST HAVE!!!

I read this book about 6 months ago and the purchased it on Audible in October.
That is when is really sunk in. For me it was the last step to recovery after I ended a very bad relationship two years ago.
I had no hope that there were any decent women out there. Sure I date but kept seeing the same thing in other women.
This book did two things for me.
1. It gave me a firm understanding of what to look for and notice the signs quickly.
2. It has enabled me to discover how I was being and when I was getting in my own way. That was an even bigger discovery.
Now I have new hope. There are women out there who have great qualities and I met have them. I am by no means falling back into the Blue Pill world. I am seeing things from a new perspective and it is very refreshing and sometimes comical.
This is a great read for men of all ages especially for the younger guys who are dealing with a lot more BS than us older guys ever did. Get it for you and for the men in your life that you care about. They will appreciate it.
Thanks Dr. Shawn

Very interesting

as a man who grew up in a with a single mother I never had anyone to show me how to be one, learnt a lot of things the hard way. I feel like if I had found this book earlier in my life I would have avoided a lot of bad relationship and improved my own. this book has a lot of good insight and knowledge one dating, marriage, and dirvorce.

Great book! (Less MGTOW and more tradcon)

book was great however it felt like it was more focused towards a TradCon perspective vs an all out mgtow type piece of work.

still a really good read and highly recommend!

Simple to understand and informative

Humor, facts and stories to relate to real life situations. Overall a really good book.

All the facts were cited and summarized from where the information was from. Time to time humor to draw your interest. And stories that seemed like it came out of a drama or movie so one can relate.

And thankfully narrater is not monotone.
