The level of hate on this book is quite bewildering. What sort of a man wouldn't want to experience sex with as many beautiful women as possible in his lifetime? A gay man perhaps?

No the book is sexist on both sides, homophobic, terribly written (he spent most of the book just reiterating the same 5 points) And the advice is frankly terrible the only good nugget is possibly his advice of be confident but he stretches that into, go around sexually harrasing every woman you see. His advice doesn't even work the only chance is because he tells you to go to so many women you are bound to find one willing to sleep with you. Also neil strauss later released the book 'the truth' I suggest you read it it goes through his realisation that all the advice in the book is bad and that erik and people like him are sad sad people clawing for attention

Agree'd. For those people that "can't take a joke" maybe this book isnt for "you". But if you can manage to not take every single point literally, enterainment along with a few more tools to add to the tool belt could actually be gained

like we all want to be fit, eat healthy, work hard, be rich, travel, have cool friends... wanting is one thing, doing it is something different
