I feel like his message is pretty basic and can be found in fewer words and in a less misogynistic way.

Sadly, there are many men who can’t just take the useful points from the book and run with it. I imagine that book produces a bunch of douches.

There's no prescribed absolute timeline, so sure don't rush things if you're not ready, but the overall point is don't sit back and be timid for too long either. Else risk getting friend-zoned. If you've been on a few dates and you're going to each others houses for dinner and a bottle or two of wine, that certainly sounds like a "kiss the girl" situation.

Yeah the statistics I have read don't seem to lineup with what happens on the board.

My guess is a true d-bag wouldn't read the book. I bet more are like Bent and bring smiles the ladies faces. Finally a man who gets it.

Right...don't know whether or not jerks also read the book, but completely agree there are nice quality guys out there who genuinely want to improve themselves to help find a loving relationship.

Agreed. Every LBS' hope at least initially is that the WAS/WS and the AP relationship fails. Doesn't seem to play out like that very often around here. Not so sure about those affair stats out there...

You get a whole lot of statistics. Do you read the sources and studies?

I don’t think it’s a good idea to believe all the “simple google search” statistics that you read. The internet is filled with a bunch of bogus information. Don’t just believe it because the internet said so

It is that book. And if you take a totally clueless man and he reads that and takes it to bible, he will act like a douche

My statistics are always from a credible source.
