[.ca] The Professional Bachelor: How to Exploit her Inner Psycho (ISBN 0975264028)

Psychology of the Panty Chasers:
Going in I read this from a skeptical viewpoint, since dating makes skeptics of even the most idealistic of romantics. I've watched highly successful, intelligent friends get rolled by hot looking female sharks one too many times. After seeing hearts and wallets shredded, it's easy for a laid back guy to be jaded when approaching women without wearing a bulletproof vest. The Pick up Artist genre has recently become vogue and created a few bestsellers. Neil Strauss' The Game, for one is an excellent read. The Professional Bachelor is a fascinating addition to the PUA field. While offered in guide fashion, what drew me in is how it's more a cleverly disguised autobiography, penned by someone who clearly has done it too all many times, and seeks cynical new ways to keep the chase interesting. Tate's done all the dirty work for us in the trenches, and written a riveting shortcut guide to the sport we all wish to excel at. With each laser focused psych persuasion technique he presents, he turns around and uses SNL witty exaggeration in self-deprecating fashion poking fun of the whole chase. It's a very original writing style that keeps the info flowing and never takes itself too serious. Attaining the proper Alpha image, charisma, and pick up attitude are described in great detail, as an actor would approach analyzing a script. Like Sun Tzu, all battles are won before the first shot is fired. He details how to use influencial sexual persuasion, creating the sexual tension and chemistry that lures in the target, bringing much more ease and expertise to your game. It's also a self-defense manual, and what makes this so fun to read is how he describes all the unbelievable dysfunctional wackos he's encountered with jaw dropping clarity. With a raw, disquieting manner, he shows you how to see through the BS, and avoid or outcon the con-artists. It's filled with both wit and intelligence, and definitely not meant for the shy guys of the world. This is a player's guide, and all Inside Baseball. It crystalizes the sport, and cuts to the chase. You'll have alot of fun reading this one.

Excellent PUA advice:
This is a hilarious guide written by a cocky, mildly devious, womanizing psychologist. IMO, this book appeals to me more than the other well-known ones. I'm sure the stuff in The Game works great and all, but it's not my style, and seems like it would only work on low self-esteem chicks in nightclubs. What works with insecure chicks won't get you anywhere with a confident successful girl. This book covers speed seduction techniques with a dozen different female personality types, and gives numerous role-playing pick up styles, tells you what works and what women look for. There's a lot of helpful Alpha Male self-improvement advice here; Image, attitude, body language, profiling, approaches, persuasion, influence, and such. The pre-marriage Asset Protection guide rocks, and I will definitely be following through on that. Just reading through it and sorting it out will save 3 or 4 high dollar billable hours by being prepared before going into the office, instead of sitting there handing over cash and nodding like a fool about things I know nothing about. I checked Google and you can download most of the forms and fill them out in advance. For that alone this book saved me a grand, not to mention half my net worth when I get it all taken care of.

King of your Castle:
I rarely post comments anywhere, but this book since really caught my attention, as it's my field. I've been to 18 weddings, and all but three ended in divorce. Each one started with starry eyed men talking about soul mates, and ended like the movie Fatal Attraction. Pretty lousy odds if you ask me. In every case, the guy lost half his assets, writes her monthly checks, and is often sued for a larger piece as his life improves. As an attorney, I can tell you pre-nups often don't mean squat anymore. This book offers bachelors a brilliant angle to tilt the cards back in men's favor. All intelligent wealthy men use it, and it's not expensive. It may create a whole movement. Marriage is like taking a fantasy trip to Vegas, and hoping to beat the house. We all try to pick the perfect girl, but in today's litigious environment, you really have to protect the downside in case your wins become losses. In the end, the house always wins. You want to be the house. The more money you have, you attract hotter looking women, and more devious ones. Many of these girls are cold-hearted cons in disguise, who go into marriage with the intention to divorce. In plain language, this book shows you how to stay the king of your castle, by setting up an asset protection strategy pre-marriage, legally sealing away your money from divorce and frivolous lawsuits. Take your time and enjoy courting beautiful women. Use them, just like they are using you. Eventually the time will come when you're pressed for marriage. There is no faster way to determine if she's marrying for love or money than telling her you're assets are not in your name and sealed away in layers of trusts. The cons will flee in horror, while chewing your butt out for having the audacity to protect your own money. My clients have laughed for hours over the final scenes in my office. It's these moments that make my career so enjoyable, stopping divorce fraud from occurring. Follow the general rules Tate lays out in the book, and get professional counsel. Nevada has the most case tested law, more experienced lawyers, and competitive rates. We're talking a life of happiness, or a life of stress and poverty for years. If you're single, that should mean the world to you. If the girl says yes after hearing about your asset protection, I bet she'll be a great wife. Although in all my years of practice, I've yet to hear of one that will. Maybe that's why this is called The Professional Bachelor.
