Book Reviews of The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide - How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho
Book Review: Funny social marketing advice
Summary: 4 Stars
Great book. If you love advice mixed with satire, this guide will have you laughing. Tate is cynically witty and brutally honest. He knows female psychology inside out. This book excels at handling womens' illogical to emotionally irrational personality traits, seeing through the games and always having the upper hand in relationships.
Most of these books assume one size fits all blueprint. Not true in the real world. He takes apart each personality and advises what works, what doesn`t based on their desires. Plenty of self-improvement advise, and persuasion conservation tips.
Written for guys who've already been around the block to the point of being a bit of cynical at needing to play the game.
Book Review: Funny, intellectual satire - exceptional PUA advice
Summary: 5 Stars
An extensive formula for speed seduction and relationship dynamics. Covers social marketing, persuasion and influence, creating value/scarcity, building emotional connections, personality behavioral analysis, targeted role-playing, projecting charisma/presence, body language, timing, and much more.
For those who've take self-improvement/business marketing, this will be a nice refresher course with some added insights. In summation, you'll learn how to create a more attractive you, how to crack barriers and build a warm rapport, how to observe and predict behavior, and subconsciously connect more in conversation.
I`d actually classify this book as far more than the typical nightclub pickup guide. It goes way beyond that, more into the post hookup and relationship level. It's an introspective psychology tool for identifying the right personality match, maintaining healthy interaction, as well as a guide for recognizing problem situations early and avoiding getting trapped. Whether single, engaged or married, anyone can benefit from the advice.
Tate clearly wrote this for the lifetime bachelor. If you are in the back of your mind considering marriage, section two covers setting up asset shelters. It covers all the different formulas available; concise, but somewhat complex asset protection tutorials. As a small business owner, I set mine up a few years back and am very familiar with the process and terminology. I had my attorney skim through the pages to see if I needed to add any additional provisions that Tate proposes, but came out fine. For real estate investors, of importance, pg. 232 references an important change - see the Albright 291 bankruptcy Rptr 538 ruling. LLC's need to be multi-member from now on.
Tate's main theme for this section is to highly encourage men to set up shelters even before engagement, as a self-defense shield against the potential of a girl marrying money with the intent to divorce in a few years. I must say the concept is brilliant. Divorce rate is 50%+, so the advice is invaluable. Best offense is a good defense.
The last 60 pages are a bachelor's guide to vacationing in Rio de Janeiro, Costa Rica, and Thailand. Heavy on details from logistics, tourism advice, sports options(extreme sports, golf, fishing, etc); the best beaches, hotels, as well as pointing you to all the night clubs and easy hookup chica hotspots that hotel concierge's are clueless about. I've been to Brazil and Costa Rica before, and can vouch the advice is spot on. If you haven't been to Rio, it's a must! A fascinating section to read, and definitely a point-and-click time savor for the best itinerary during limited vacation time. Turns out Costa Rica has all kinds of extreme rafting, rapelling, and zip lining that I missed out on; great sail fishing there by the way.
Overall, I'd say the Professional Bachelor is a highly recommended read. Only negative, at 300 pages the editor should have trimmed it down, and tightened up the text a bunch; 250 pages would have been just right.
This is written for guys who are already players, and written as an intellectual's satire. If your sense of humor is limited, if you're a newbie who hasn't dated dozens of women and witnessed their highly volatile nature, or if you haven't viewed advanced financial structuring, this book may go way over your head (as seen in some of the reviews). But as far as a bachelor's manual, it is a totally unique treatise and on it's own level...something you'll re-read often, and will stand the test of time.
For you PUA junkies, The Professional Bachelor is probably more useful in conjunction with a book on creating openings and initial contact with women...so consider picking up The Mystery Method: How to Get Beautiful Women Into Bed .
Also, get Tate's hilarious new memoir about his insane lifestyle living overseas. The title says it all. He just nails it with this book. Sex-drenched adventures filled with erotic photography and biting observation humor, with a cast of animated, flamboyant characters who push each other to edge and beyond.

Book Review: Get this one Guys
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has made the rounds at the office, with a lot of guys going around quoting some of the funniest lines from the book. Tate is a great cynical writer. The guy really holds nothing back and tells it like it is today for Alpha males in a PC metrosexual world full of divorce happy women. Great persuasion and influence advice on dating girls on your terms. The section I thought the best is the financial shelter tips. He advises every guy to set up asset protection before you're even engaged, and to let the girl know in advance. Brilliant advice really. The gold diggers will walk saving you a lifetime of aggravation. Either way you're protected in case things go wrong.
I know at least half dozen guys who've been ridden hard and dry in a divorce who could have benefited immensely from this advice. The book is a great primer for studying up on the numerous options for self-employed business men to the wealthy. Explicit details for setting up shelters in layman terms...the how and where, what to do, what to avoid, etc. A quick study that will save you a lot of billable hours by being prepared in advance.
Book Review: Hilarious writing on speed seduction
Summary: 4 Stars
Funny as hell; so much information in this it's almost overwhelming. Brutally honest observations about womens' agenda in dating, and uncanny psychological solutions on how to stop being played and get what you want without getting your head ripped off, manhood deflated, and wallet pick pocketed.
This came highly recommended from an old college friend of mine who I constantly make fun for working it so hard with the ladies. I mean he's read all of these PUA books. (Game, Mystery, etc) I was very cynical even opening a page; man was I wrong. It's seriously intelligent, interesting, and the author is a highly educated nut! This book is written for guys who have their act together and hook up a fair amount, but are looking for that extra edge. Excellent relationship and PUA advice, and it's all written in satire and tongue and cheek. I can't believe more people don't point how funny it is. I should mention this book is a lot of offense; but where it differs is the self-defense approach in dating. Streamlining your time. It concentrates as much time on who not to date, what not to do, as well as the ultimate defense in dating; setting up asset protection to protect yourself in divorce.
The most interesting section was the psychoanalysis of the various female personalities, and role-playing styles for approaching/dating each. It has me reliving dates with half a dozen girls, as well as half a dozen I didn't want to date, but couldn't get rid of. He has a very dry, witty way of making you think, and seeing your mistakes from the past and what to do in the future. Girls all have some type of wall they put up. It's strange; they are so programmed with their you-go-grrl childish nonsense of blowing out guys. Even the men they are very attracted to rarely get anywhere unless the girl is in the mood. (or trying to show off to her posse). I realize it is just hiding from their insecurity, but men could sure use advice on dealing with this obstacle. The book gives great tips into creating these openings, by paying attention to her personality type, and role-playing to her style, as opposed to treating all girls the same.
I'm now able to get past the wall much easier and am closing like a champ. Plus, it's such a confidence booster now that I have that added intellectual edge, I find the success attitude just feeds on itself. By knowing who to date and not to date, I eliminate all those worthless dates. More importantly, I never get trapped in relationships I can't get out of, because I know better than to get involved in them in the first place. I don't put so much pressure on myself now, and the "whatever" attitude is attracting them like flies. It's nice to be in control.
Book Review: Interesting Guidebook to Bachelorhood Mastery
Summary: 4 Stars
I wouldn't include this in the group of PUA how-to guides like Mystery Method or Layguide because it cover a lot more ground than those two books. The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide's scope covers far more than just how to meet women. In the author's view, that's the somewhat easy part. It's the how to deal with women after you've bedded them that makes this book so much different than the rest.
So what else does it cover? How to protect you assets, how to deal with crazy women, where to go on vacation to meet and bang women. I can totally see some people not liking the way the writer views women and even I winced a few times, but I got over it. There are some real nuggets of wisdom that may not make an immediate impact to your life as a Player, but will help you overall keep your life from spinning out of control because of women.
It could be better written and maybe there will be a second edition some day that cleans things up, but it's truly a unique book with a different perspective that's love it or hate it. I bought one of the author's other books called The Hedonist which is much more focused on the subject of bedding women around the world. I recommend that book as well if you plan on doing any international travel.
Overall, I recommend this book to any single guy or divorced guy who wants to better understand female psychology and how you can work it to your advantage.
