DON'T JUDGE. Okay, go ahead and judge. There's a hot-pink cover emblazoned with a cheesy graphic that practically begs you to. But like a few other entrants in the how-to-date genre (If the Buddha Dated, Why You're Not Married Yet, and even He's Just Not That Into You), this book contains a lot of good information/support on establishing boundaries, remaining true to oneself, and communicating needs clearly and consistently in relationships of all stripes, not just romantic ones.
I'd be very (VERY) leery of using any of the suggested lines/replies/come-ons in here verbatim. I'm not really 100% sold on some of the tactics and rationales. But the central idea of treating men—even ones you might want to have see you naked—like *people*, is a good and important one. And on top of having a life, a backbone, a whole collection of interests, and an insistence on to thine own self being true, that also means getting past one's comfort zone and actually talking to people. Men-people. (Or lady-people, if that's how you roll.)
Bonus points to Hussey for the best way of summing up the ridiculousness of not doing your best in an interview situation: why are you ascribing extra greatness to them and why are you looking at yourself as less-than? (I'm paraphrasing, and poorly, but it's very well rendered in the book. I think that credit even goes to a friend of his, who put the question to Hussey when he was going to network for some big TV gig.)
So, great on overall, feel-the-fear-and-say-it-anyway motivation; a little iffy on a specifically romantic-driven game plan.

The man is pure genius! I don't think it's coincidental that after getting halfway through the book that I met the love of my life. Seriously the best book in this category!

I liked the first half of this but this really dropped on me the second half. The first half I felt was valuable information about talking to people making connections and casting the net. However all the stuff about being a high value woman and all the overthinking involved I just felt it was too much and just not very real life. I did however still take value from this book and I still really like in general what Matthew Hussey has to offer.

I've followed Matthew Hussey's YouTube videos for years and have always wanted to read this book. Because of the fact that I have watched several of his videos, I thought that some of the analogies and points he made were redundant, but that didn't make them any less valid. This book is a great overview of a lot of the core values that Hussey discusses in his work. There are a lot of great tips that I think everyone can learn from. I was surprised at how relevant some of them were to me, even after I've seen Hussey's previous videos.
Also, I definitely recommend listening to this on Audiobook. It is a completely different and more positive experience.
