First section presents "the nine different types of seducer" and tells me I must fit into one of the descriptions. I am uncomfortable with all of them. Then it has "the 18 different types of victim", none of which describes any person I'm looking to seduce. The book is oriented to the person who wishes to devote his or her life to seduction and selects victims primarily for their vulnerability. That is not my objective. My objective is to get the job done and be done with it and I'm not particularly seeking exploitable vulnerability in a permanent partner. Well, on to the "Process" section to see if anything useful can be learned from from that part.

Applying them today would be like applying the military techniques of the Napoleonic wars in the jungles of Viet Nam. In fact the authors kind of dwell on the Napoleonic period. If I had the leisure time and selection of victims this book says are necessary, I certainly would have no use for this silly book. It dwells continuously on selecting the victims by their being victims - not what I'm looking for in a woman. It's core presumption is that you will seduce and then abandon the seduced for the next victim - so not my objective. The book presumes you're interested in becoming a career seducer and willing to "do it by the numbers" rather than by native talent. And to answer your question, no, I didn't (see rather tongue in cheek comments elsewhere in thread - such as shelving it with the MBA's Official Handbook). All in all, this book is a harmless fantasy like a historical romance - pure escapism. It could only be of practical application to a few "intellectuals of leisure" and social parasites. On the other hand, a book on guerilla tactics in modern settings could be helpful, so I'll look for one of those. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
