What Women Want In A Man: How to Become the Alpha Male Women Respect, Desire, and Want to Submit To Kindle Edition

First : I’m a married woman who has not read this book. I still have the following opinion: Whoever wrote this book deserves a medal (or ten!). Since my husband started reading this book, I have seen him change almost overnight and emerge as someone far more confident (and sexy as hell) than ever before. It has affected our marriage on so many levels and rejuvenated our romance that had faded somewhat over the years. This book has flipped a switch in him and I am forever grateful to the author. As I said, I have not read this book, but I have seen what it has done to my husband. I suspect the male hostile culture we currently live in has millions of men in its wake, wondering what their role is and how to go about dealing with the increasing confusion as to what it is a real man is supposed to be. Hats off to an apparent strong author who dares to speak up in the midst of all the confusion.... and thank you. Really!

I bought this book after I lost the woman of my dreams. She stood by me at my toughest times, loved me passionately and respected me for who I was. Until I started having self pity, no self worth, complained all the time about myself and fell short of finding my purpose. She gave me hints but finally gave up and found someone else.I called myself a failure all the time, my inner self talk judged me as a failed man and lost interest in everything around me. I was drawn to negative articles in news and that nourished self harm even more and more.I bought this book out of curiosity and I was hooked the minute I started reading. The author does an amazing job by immediately jumping into the subject matter and line by line word by word I realized my mistakes over and over again that I made with my loved one leave me. The book explains in detail and identifies the issues I was facing and feeding on, and brings to light on how to work on them to be the best man you can be. I was always a pessimist, a week minded man who lacked confidence, control, highly emotional and downright sad.This is a true fact, I read the book entirely at the beach today. Brought my confidence level up to a degree where I simply looked around the beach, saw single beautiful women in their bathing suits, built the courage to go and start talking to them. I made this with 5 different women, just to say hi and chit chat. I must say it made my day.Came home read the book entirely again until 4 am. It's amazing how it makes complete sense to me and how to work on myself now to be a better man and find even a better woman after I fulfill my purpose and journey.I will read this book at least 15 times maybe more!Thank you

First off, I’d like to start this review by saying that I am a woman. I read this book partly out of curiosity, and partly because I wanted to see if there was any wisdom in it that I could pass on to my 17 year old son. His father passed away, so I feel like I’m in charge of passing on both motherly and fatherly wisdom now. Honestly, I was shocked at just how absolutely spot on this book is. Every piece of advice in here is the absolute real deal. If I met a man who practiced what this book preaches, I would literally worship the ground he walks on. I feel this should be required reading for every male on the planet earth. I am a woman, and I’m hear to tell you.....this is what women want.

Great book for everyone — both guys and girls — to read because it revolves around vital principles of self-respect, having standards, and setting boundaries/sticking to them. It’s a small/mini book; I read it front to back in less than 3 hours (and I’m an average speed reader). Great principles for all to be reminded of. I love the ladies’ version of this subject as well (Never Chase Men Again); I’ve read them both and would suggest the same to anyone — whether they’re just starting out in the dating world or they’re a seasoned veteran. We would all do well to take this advice to heart and learn to apply it consistently in our relationships, whether romantic or not.

This is not a book with tips on how to take a woman to bed. If you're just a player-to-be, skip it. But if you're serious about a quality relationship with the right woman for you, you won't be disappointed. The author gives you the kind of information that should be taught at school to every man.This book does not teach you any specific technique but it does show you the most basic things a man should do to make him a desirable male to almost any good woman out there while also becoming successful in other areas of life.The only criticism that I have is that it's short and it could have delved into more details but it is a must read book for men of any age, single or married.

I've been Mr. Nice Guy for too long!!! I recently separated from my wife after 15 years. She asked that before we figure out us that I need to find my happiness. I've spent the last 35 years of my life thinking that I was not good enough. I've been successful in every job I've held and I'm living on an acre in wine country. I thought of myself as STUPID, but would never pick up a book to educate myself. Today I finished my first book ever and what a great feeling. This book described my every action, I know what I need to do now. I know the battle will be tough, but I'm worth the fight. This book has given me some great tools to lift my head, and stop the needing to please everyone other then myself and my family.Thank you BruceLooking forward to reading more

Sorry, but if you buy this book for a husband who is ALREADY an overly-confident macho man, you will be sorely disappointed. I know many women, but I've NEVER heard one say any of the things listed in this book, such as "He's really honest with me, I don't always like it..." "He just lets me do whatever I want. It's like he doesn't have a backbone." The author seems to have a good handle on understanding women, but trouble with men who are powerful masculine he-men. If your guy is more wimpy than not, this book would probably serve him well, I suppose. Otherwise, it may actually do damage.

In short: A lot great theory in here, but that's all it mostly is. Theory. With very little practical explanation or substance. The most practical advice is briefly listed near the start of the book.My criticisms at length:"They can smell a lack of confidence in a man as if it were rotting flesh"..."Insecurity in all its various forms will cause a woman to become unsure about you... She will eventually lose the respect and desire she has for you"..."When you become insecure about something she may begin to lose faith in you... When you begin to waver and become self-doubting... her survival is now at stake."But then he contradicts himself:"Better yet, be open and honest about it [your insecurities] with the woman in your life."..."A good woman is one that will support your even though your may have weaknesses and emotional insecurities."So which one is it? Hide and/or don't have them? Or be honest about it thus causing her to "lose the respect and desire she has for you?"He later says it's about how you deal with insecurities - OK, but that's still exposing it to her and having self-doubt. Which, according to him, will lead to her dumping you.On insecure and negative thoughts he also says:"You have a choice in the matter because YOU decide what goes into your own mind."This isn't wholly true. Otherwise we'd all think positively all the time. You can't simply choose to be happy when, say, your mother dies.On having a code of conduct (ie values) you live by: "This alone is more than enough to make a really great woman fall in love and stay in love with you." Obviously bullsh*t. This isn't nearly enough (otherwise the book would be done and we wouldn't waste anymore time). Statements like this are trivial and littered throughout the book.He says "...as a man I choose not to suffer."Theoretically great, but practically bullsh*t. "If there's really nothing I can do... I just relax... let it all go... I might as well relax if there's nothing I can do about it."More platitudes! e.g Clinical Depression or a mugger won't give you a mere choice to not care or be upset. If your daughter is brutally raped and murdered are you gonna relax because there's nothing you can do and you "refuse to suffer?" No. If it really was all that easy, all human suffering would end.This also contradicts what he says later about taking "full responsibility of [your] entire life... you are where you are in life because of the decisions you've made, and the outcome of your tomorrow will be based on the decisions you make today."This is only a half-truth, as obviously no one has complete control or responsibility over absolutely everything that happens to them, and he's already admitted that sometimes "there's really nothing I can do."Having your own values and ethics and sticking to them "will drastically improve your life in ways you can't even imagine."Unless you were hitherto a mindless zombie, this is overblown and pretentious, over-the-top sunshine. His blasé theory makes it all seem easy and overly achievable. This is misleading and sets you up for disappointment. So many promises and so little actual substance...My main gripe is so much of his ideas and convictions are overly simplified. It's all easy theory with very little practical substance. For example: "...close your mind against all negative influences." I.e. simply "do it" without a how or any practical guidance, which is why many of us read self-help in the first place!Another example of massive oversimplification and generalisation: "Every negative and sinister thing that exists in our society today is the result of fear."Frustratingly, the ending of chapter 3 stresses the importance of sexual confidence... then simply ENDS! No how-to, no guidelines, not even any dos and don'ts! Nothing! The chapter just ends! (Mark Manson's book Models more than makes up for this complete lack of help as it devotes an entire chapter on how to be sexually confident and how sexual interactions can work well).On affirmations and positive self talk: "I can guarantee you... you WILL begin to see positive results." Another promise and guarantee he cannot keep or follow through with (ironically). This is false for a lot of people (myself included). And he makes a lot of flippant guarantees."...don't overlook it as some psychobabble fix that won't get you results." Unfortunately, to many that's exactly what it is. (But if it DOES work for you, as it does for many people, then brilliant.)The final chapter is full of repetition.Promises promises promises:"You will lead a much happier and successful life," you will be this, you will be that. He completely misses out the hard work and suffering and rejection and struggle! Life is not rainbows and effortless reward! It takes hard work and commitment and suffering and sacrifice! Not merely a new mindset with some values thrown in! (Eventually he hints at this towards the end when he briefly discusses failure). So many overblown promises about keeping the right woman forever and not having to ever worry etc etc. Which is easy to say because if you break up or she leaves you he can simply say "oh well she just want the "right" one," (which in itself is a symptom of oneitis, a very dangerous and unhealthy attitude and attachment).Lastly, I don't agree with his final argument that you HAVE to completely accept yourself in order to progress effectively. If I accept my addiction to crack, I'm not going to go as far as someone who refuses to accept themselves as a crackhead and therefore strives to get clean because he cannot accept himself in his current state. Self-acceptance is great, sure, but some useful self-criticism can be just that: useful. It's not ALWAYS bad and counterproductive like many self-help books (like this one) would have you believe.The bottom line is this: too much theory (albeit GOOD and mostly ACCURATE) and too little substance. All "be this way" with very little to no explanation of how to actually achieve it. He essentially describes a superman in the opening to get your ideal woman, but then later says no one's perfect.Read it if you've got time and want a Birdseye view of the theory of attraction. I've read far too many books on attraction by now and you're far better off reading Corey Wayne's 3% Man and Mark Manson's Models.

Personally I find it pretty trite and without much use, but given all the good reviews (on the US site, at least) your mileage might vary.The author puts forward the idea that women are attracted to certain qualities, say, honesty, for example, and so, if you are honest, women will flock to you. Well, at least good women, which is the get-out-of-jail card for the author: if women flock to you, it's proof the theory works. For those women to whom the theory doesn't seem to apply, why, that's because they are not good, quality women.Any theory that bases itself on rationality of individuals is nothing but wishful thinking, and thus bound to fail. Not that there's nothing in this book that might be worth a read, if it was say, a blog post or something like that.

Yeah! Great. This guy knows what he's writing a good book about:) He shows you in a cool way how important it is to be the alpha mail some of us are born to be. Confindense and that kind. I love it. Probably gonna read it acouple of more times:) I like it when the Author gats the Message thru in a cool way. Worth the Money;)

A well rounded and informative book - and when reading with focus, you will find that it is actually very complete on the subject.Positive and empowering (in a good way - not an overly macho narcissistic kind of way - which could have happened but it didn't thankfully).Powerful - not just in terms of relationships with the opposite sex, but so much deeper in that it also encourages you to become who you really want to be in ALL areas of your life as a whole.Thank you Bruce Bryans - A well-covered, empowering success of a book - thumbs up!!

Brilliant book, a must read for ALL men whether you're attached or not. Great insights and advice. Highly recommend. Buy it!
