Seconded. I'd read it.

So.. 40 Year Old Virgin was a great movie that despite its comedic value has one quote that I can't help but repeat from it;

Jay: You're puttin' the pussy on a pedestal! [to Andy]

Nonwithstanding the blantant gender discrimination and the somewhat crude language (and I apologize to those who choose to be offended by it), it's got a brilliant point.

DON'T PUT THEM ON A PEDESTAL (or it, if you're really just after the vagina). The reason I hate these "get women fast" books is that they do exactly that. They build up this huge fucking difference between men and women; that we have such complicated sexual and intellectual boundaries that we have to write books upon books dissecting and diagnosing them. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus? Umm.. no.. last time I checked we all came about because of people fucking -- ON EARTH.

It's simple: we all want to live, be loved, and get fucked. On some base level, those three things are true about everyone. Granted there's a ton more similarities, but I don't want to defeat my point by writing a veritable assload of information about why dating books are ridiculous. If you start looking at women as human beings with desires and preferences not different from your own, you don't need books to help you strategize the optimal angle. You just talk to them like they're another person! Oh hey, look.. another human being. Yes, she has a vagina and breasts and likely longer hair than you, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to live, love, or fuck. And hell.. if you're strapped for things to talk about.. I'll give you three topics that you both could elaborate on for hours..
