Reddit reviews How to Succeed With Women

I know plenty of people who didn't have sex until their mid 20s. You're not the only person ever, even though it feels that way.

Your "game" must be off, though. As in, you've never developed your skill at talking to the ladies. So you've got some "ground to make up".

This is a decent book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Succeed-Women-Ron-Louis/dp/0130950912

When I picked it up in 1998 (when the book came out), I was already okay at meeting women, heck, I even had a few girlfriends in college. But I would consistently mess up in certain ways and I couldn't figure out why. This book may help you out in that regard.

Also, if you're bored, go watch the movie, "The Tao of Steve". It may also help you out with attracting the ladies.

> As far as I know "pick up artist" is a term for a pretty specific type of "red pilled" person.

No way. The term Pick-Up Artist significantly predates the concept of "red pill." A Pick-Up Artist is just someone, usually male, who has developed some degree of expertise in "picking up" (i.e. getting dates) with others, usually women. Some pick-up artists, especially those associated with the red pill, are real scumballs, but most are completely harmless -- they're really little more than practiced flirts.

For example, Ron Louis and David Copeland, authors of "How To Succeed With Women," are pick-up artists, but if you read their book (which was a huge help to me when I was an awkward teenager) their methodology is 100% about respecting yourself, developing self-esteem, self-discovery and knowing who you are, practicing good hygiene, and treating women respectfully. It's the complete opposite of "red pill" nonsense, which is all about developing a fake persona, manipulation, deception, preying on women with poor self-esteem, "negging," and other bullshit.

Very good looking. Like quarterback good-looking. You don't need to change a thing except your brain. Put on a few lbs of muscle, you would be a god. It's the confidence, dude. That's all. http://www.amazon.com/How-Succeed-Women-Louis/dp/0130950912

Man you've got nothing to worry about. I had confidence issues with women growing up and I can honestly say this book helped me out a lot - How to Succeed With Women It teaches you how to be confident and go out on dates by being yourself.

Also take a Martial Art. Learning how to defend yourself for some reason gives you a massive confidence boost.

The trick is to not take the silences and whatnot personally. It's hard, but that's the trick.

So, I know this is going to sound cliche, but the book that helped me quite a bit is How to Succeed with Women. I would highly recommend it, as it not only helps with talking to women, it also is really good at teaching you to gain confidence by re-evaluating rejection as a good thing, instead of bad.
