Customer Reviews

Make just about anyone fall in love with you.
I really liked the concept of this book. After reading it, I understand now what to do in order to attract more women. It's about pulling back and knowing when to approach and not crowding. I liked Ms. Lowndes' tips throughout and thought she was on point with her advice. One cavet: I am not sure if this would work for most everyone, but my advice is to take the things that you can apply to your normal, everyday life and use them. Just don't disregard the entire book; that's why I called my title 'make just about anyone fall in love with you.' It can and will work, if you apply the principals. It's a good read. I also read and liked, for men, How to Get a Girlfriend: Two Classic Dating Guides in One Volume-Understanding Women and How To Be The Man Women Want.

What a let down!
With a title like "How to make anyone fall in love with you" it was always going to be tough to produce the goods, but unfortunately Ms. Lowndes has sunk below even my initial realistic expectations. A big warning is that it reads very American, a bit like a fantasy world full of sit-com characters. All the anecdotal males are Lawyers and the females pretty actresses...real life...sure.
It's clear from the start that the author is desperate to add weight to her "theories" about attraction by using pseudo scientific terminology like "colpulatory gaze" and fields of study such as "Pupillometrics". She clings to the now creaking gate of the Standard Social Science Model and loves a Freudian explanation to most things too.

This results in a book almost exactly like a dozen other similar type books almost copied chapter for chapter and idea for idea. You will learn nothing here that an ounce of common sense could tell you i.e. have good eye contact with a potential partner and don't slouch. Hardly revelations designed to transform your love life. You will find just about every cliche around about what men and women are like in here, with no real attempt to break from the familiar rut. As both men and women are covered in the same chapters, this leads to a very odd disharmonious flow of language aimed at men then women almost in the same breath. A bit of a cynical ploy to get both men and women to buy the book in my opinion.

Overall a very big disappointment, very formulaic, long winded and full of clichés that don't do anything to heal the sad rift that occurs between the sexes. Save your money and buy something else instead, I wish I had!

Impressive results!
So far I have applied only one piece of advice I read in Leil Lowndes book, and the results were spectacular, in fact bordering on eerie. I went out on 3 dates with a gorgeous single mother who was way out of my league - a woman 5 years my senior who made no secret of her high demands on male partners. I did the exact opposite of what I usually did on dates, which was to impress women with my extensive life experience, education, travels, language skills, career and finances. Instead, I followed Lowndes' advice and placed my date on center stage and shone the spotlight on her. Anytime she asked me about me, I reverted the light back to her. Whenever I had a juicy anecdote to tell, I bit my tongue and continued encouraging her to tell me more. I was convinced that I had gone overboard, hardly revealing a thing about myself. When she mentioned having lived in Japan, I felt compelled to mention that I had done so too and in fact spoke fluent Japanese, but I kept my mouth shut and proceeded to pummel her with questions about Tokyo. I found out that she had travelled to 38 countries in all, the exact same number as I had, but I bit my tongue once again. When she revealed that she was a vegetarian, I could have impressed her with the fact that I had been one too for 9 years, but instead I asked her how come she had made that life choice. I felt that I was sabotaging my chances completely and was surprised that she kept wanting to see me. The truth about my background inevitably began to surface on the fourth date, piece by piece. I feared that she would be upset that I had been acting patronizingly during our dates, but no sir - she had fallen head over heels over me! Obviously, self-restraint pays off. Mind you, the relationship didn't last as we were not compatible. So while I do recommend this book as an excellent guide for dating, I suggest that if you are looking for a serious relationship to read some heavier titles as well.
