A man's field guide to dating
Thank fully this book is for men who are interested in dating outside the 'meat market' scenario. It's about relating to people and knowing yourself well enough to present a positive image while you're trying to get to know others. Robert Wray presents practical, non threatening advice for men that will not send mixed messages to women. If men behave in this manner the women they encounter will be sure that their intentions are noble. I think it's important to make a woman feel like you respect her enough to behave like a gentleman instead of treating her like a sexual object and hoping for the best.Mr. Wray isn't judgemental for the most part. His introduction is a disclaimer. Lots of books have them. He's saying, "I wrote the book with these type of people in mind." Other's can read the book and benefit as well, however; the book is geared for those with the intent of dating and creating a healthy relationship. He is very clear and upfront about this, and his candid nature made me trust him to steer me straight as a reader.
I would recommend this book to any one who just feels like they aren't handling the awkward parts of intial dating. I think too, he gives insights for all the parts of the relationships. Following a lot of the practical advice has been a confidence builder for me, and opened my eyes to a lot of small things that I wasn't previously aware of.

A woman's view on this book
I was surprised at the number of reviews posted here by men. I was also surprised at how wrong they were. If men want to know what it takes to be successful dating quality women - it's all here. I gave copies of this book to my brother and two of his friends as well as the guy I'm currently seeing. We have had many long discussions about the topics in this book. While we don't always agree, I think he understands what I need for our relationship to continue to grow. If you are looking for easy sex, you already know where to go. No book is going to help you there. If you want to date someone worthwhile, I strongly recommend that you read this book and/or others like it. It's your choice. I know that I'm very happy now as things have really improved with my guy.
By the way, I've also had many discussions with my girlfriends about the book. Again, not everyone agrees about everything, but we all agree that for the most part this book is right on the money.

Very helpful advice.
If, like myself, you are naturally introvert it may still be difficult to apply the tecniques discussed for winning the date in the first place but the advice is completely flawless. Personally I "won" the dates by using an online dating agency which is one of the topics briefly discussed in the publication. If I hadn't read this book before hand I doubt I would have the same confidence in the dating situation and the dates may not have transpired to be as succesfull.
Consequently this book has really worked for me, I am now dating women who I would previously of assumed would not look twice at me, though there is no magic formula to gain the confidence to attract women other than to question your assumptions and get yourself out there and do it by whatever means.
