This book is a top seller. What does that say? Hmmm.

1. Top seller?
Looks more like a dating guide for dweebs.

3. Well anyone can publish there...
so getting top billing means nothing really. Most likely 4 friends of the author bought a copy.

5. I'm pleased to relay that I don't know any guy
who ownes any books like this one.
:puke:

Even when we're talking "guy talk" I've never heard a guy talk about anything like this. And unless they keep it hidden under their mattress with their porn, I haven't seen it on any of their bookshelves either.

6. Thanks ThomCat...
...at least that's encouraging. This book reminds me of the webside 'askmen.com' - some of it's OK but most of it is incredibly mysogenist - and as another person in this thread said - it seems to be s website about 'dating for dweebs'.

7. I can only guess that the people buying this
are insecure teenaged boys, or people buying it as a gag gift. :shrug:

I could only see myself buying that book as a joke to poke fun at a friend who thinks he's really smooth.

11. "20 or more women a month"
Doesn't seem to leave time for much else does it? And men BUY this shit? Dumbasses.
