I actually bought books by David Deangelo and Mystery (from VH1’s The Pickup Artist). It did increase my one night stands from bars and clubs, but it is not good manuals for keeping a relationship.
I think both Deangelo, Mystery, and other experts in attracting women have good advice on how a successful date works, but women are funny about calling times, and they think complementing a woman is insincere, and so on....
I agree don’t disagree, but I simply don’t have the energy for the game any more. After working 12 hr days, maintaining a house, etc. I just barely have enough energy to play ball with a silly chocolate lab. In all honesty, I have never felt more at peace since I have just stopped worrying about it.
