How to win flesh and influence women

Women don't understand themselves, yet the demand of 'understanding them' is placed on the men who would pursue them. This has always been the difficulty. Though I have been out of the dating game for a long time, I found this information very useful into how women react to certain techniques. Yes, this centers around dating but one can easily apply it to a workplace dynamic. I do not think it applies that well to marriage because if you play these games with a wife, she will just think you're an A hole. A few of the early reviews said they disliked the narrator. Did we listen to the same audiobook? This narrator is spot-on.

Extract the elements you need. Ignore the rest.

Listen to the sample to determine if you'll have a problem with the narrator--I didn't mind his tone at all. He's a narrator, reading, and simply passing info on to me.

As for the content, it was either EXACTLY what I needed, or it was taught in a very convincing way. I, like many others, am rather put-off by the gimmicky games and condescending attitude toward women. So I disregarded that fluff. But there is tons of material that I GREATLY appreciated--How to open a conversation with multiple women...cold, how to stimulate their *emotions* and not fall into banal chatter, how to win the respect of your "target's" friends first, how to entertain and engage a woman or women in conversation regardless of your intentions, what indicators of interest to watch for, how to ask for contact info, etc.

I've read The Game and listened to this audiobook twice, and started to "get it." True story: I knew something was changing in me when I was with friends at a bar, saw three cute ladies (about 10 yrs younger than me) talking amongst themselves. I left my friends and started a conversation with all three of them. (One of my friends pulled me aside and said, "What are you DOING?") My opener was a true, honest topic that I composed a few minutes before speaking with them--and they were VERY interested in responding with their opinions. Two hours later, I had the email address of the cutest one of the bunch. :-) For me, this was UNREAL.

If you desire women badly, then taking the time to read and execute, will certainly pay off.

A useless nonstop pitch

Not sure how this guy considers himself a teacher. If you were to gut this book of the excess and get to the nuts and bolts you would be left with about 20% of what is written. Through out Mystery doesn’t seem to understand that as a reader you have paid money and therefore do not need more convincing or a sales pitch. The first 2-3 chapters are just a waste of time in selling you a book you have already purchased. The rest is abstract theory with little actual demonstration. For example he constantly talks about how important breaking the ice is (opening a set) but doesn’t actually give any examples beyond the same one to two lines. It’s like a book on calculus that refuses to provide actual equations. Again and again the narrative oscillates between actual instruction to something of a continual brag. There is also this constant idea that as a PUA you are not manipulating but “influencing” women. This is true in the same way that someone who builds a maze for a mouse is not manipulating it but influencing it. It’s a self serving work full of bull crap misogyny, inflated and invented vocabulary, and a dash of actual useful information. Also the rare and few examples given are so trite, cliche, and dated that they would result only in embarrassment if actually deployed. Sure your aging uncle may have pulled in the ladies but is it really wise to dust off his 20+ years old clothes and techniques for today? Probably not. Big pass on this book. It’s a useless sales brochure.

wow i'm prepared

This was a great book to hear. The speaker really gets into the material. I would recommend this book to anyone that has trouble introducing them self's to people. Even if your married. This is about 3 hours dating advice and 4 hours of how to pure network and meet people. I use this book info at both the local bar and when i go to real estate conferences to introduce my self to groups and sets. This is amazing book of facts and techniques, for dating and picking up a SO.

Narrator ruins it

I totally agree with the other review--the narrator totally ruins this audiobook. I'm trying to think of how to describe his tone--it's somewhat a cross between condescending, patronizing. Almost like I was getting the used car salesman schtick.

I have both the hardcopy and audiobook; the audio so I could listen to while travelling.. and I have to say that I don't look forward to listening to it.

Mystery is "The Man" when it comes to this stuff, and his writing is good--seeing him in field is incredible. Why Mystery didn't narrate his own book is beyond me.

So yes this is a worth read, especially if you want to learn more about the MM, M3 model, etc. But get/read the book instead. Trust me, the narrator is horrible.

Great Information and Techniques

What did you love best about The Mystery Method?

The content you can learn in here is invaluable

What aspect of Alan Sklar’s performance would you have changed?

Over the top characterization. I would've love it if Mystery read this

Any additional comments?

Stick it out, you'll get used to the stupid narrator in 20 mins or so. The content is too powerful to get hung up on his annoying voice and intonation.

Like getting dating advice from Donald Trump

It really is. This narrator -despite doing a pretty good job- is a horrible choice for a book like this.

Good sh*t tho. Very informative if you into this type of thing

Get ready to take notes

I didn't want to get this book at first because I've read The Game, and it makes Mystery's method sound very gimmicky. Well, it is gimmicky but there are a lot of good ideas in it. Sometimes you just have to interpret the theories and their explanations to get the most value out of it.

I agree and disagree with the other reviews regarding the narrator. He hams it up quite a bit, but he does a good job of sounding like he knows and practices the material. It helps to have someone being a little cocky when they're telling you how to pickup women like a rockstar, because that's the kind of attitude you should have when using the method.

Overall great book.

The narrator is good!

There are so many comments here about the narrater that I almost didn't download MM. I am glad I did. If you want subtle narration, go to the history section. This audio wouldn't work without a little license from the narrator. The content and delivery are entertaining. If you are so uptight that this narrator really bugs you, then MM is definitely not for you; which is good for the rest of us. If you'll escuse me, I need to go work on my game and peacock a little.
