As a psychology teacher at a large University, I must say there’s been quite a buzz about this book amongst the faculty. When you take away the chest pounding and witty shock value, this book is about creating opportunities with the right women, and avoiding the nightmares of dating the wrong ones. The author obviously has a background in psychology, and provides very introspective and effective Alpha male self-improvement advice. We all try to influence the outcomes of experiences with others to our advantage, in every facet of our lives. This one makes you better at it with women, and its uses would be as effective in business.
As far as imaginative interpersonal relationship tips for you players, this covers multiple areas to make you great with the ladies on your terms. It shows how to shape womens’ attitudes, feelings, emotions and behavior towards you. It teaches how to create sexual chemistry and be likable, how to get the upper hand and steer the encounter (like salsa dancing, women want the man who can lead), and how to have the upper hand in difficult situations and avoid being manipulated.
Women prefer a man who doesn’t get tongue-tied and stumble all over himself at all the wrong moments. This book teaches men panache; how to enhance their ability to carry themselves with confidence and attitude, and how to charm and be smooth with the ladies, ala James Bond. This would mean a well-dressed, classy, guy with charisma who knows exactly how say the right thing at any given moment, creating subconscious emotional and physical attraction. Any women would admit (to other women) the information is very accurate, after all, the author tells you upfront in his discovery phase that it’s written from what works from a woman’s point of view, as well as contains advice from male seducers.
People often carry pre-conceived prejudices when they read, and will take what they want out of this. For me, it’s a fascinating, entertaining book that makes you think and see how persuasion works in both the male and female mind. Sure there are a lot of comments that can be taken as insults to women, but you’d have to be blind not to notice the entire book, I mean almost every page has some wickedly sharp, LOL cynical comments….and admittedly a lot of the statements about crazy women are very true. I took no offense, since I was usually laughing. I think I work with a lot of the girls he’s writing about.
There are plenty of psycho men out there as well, and it would be nice to have a similar guide for women to help avoid all the guys who make a great first impression, but ultimately turn out to be train wrecks.

A highly charged topic, and sensationally titled piece. The advice works for 18-80 yr. old men. In essence, a guide to master speed seduction on your terms; having complete control of your dating and sex life, while maintaining your assets during your pursuits and if/after a divorce. Written for the Alpha male in a hurry. With so many nonsense PUA titles out there, this is intellectually a level higher. Not a breath mint, pick up lines, or poser stuff book. This is social marketing, understanding how to influence the female mind for a mutually beneficial result.
Target market is the successful 30ish guy with money who's played the field enough to have seen the highly volatile, immature, selfish, controlling dark side of women. Manipulative women, feminists and metrosexuals will hate it, because it describes the landscape like it is. The author sees through women with hilarious wit, knows every rope and technique. The writing is cynical and sarcastic, but laced with the truth that no one wants to here. It’s pro-men. If you like Dennis Miller, you love this; absolutely hilarious in many parts. If you’re inflexible, in denial, or without a sense of humor, pass.
Many diverse sections covered; great psychoanalysis of different female personalities; knowing the angles, each girl's quirks and desires. Knowing how the end game will play out before it begins. Knowing when to bail. Like a field general.
Great advise on creating a more attractive you, defining your life going forward, rejecting dating hypocrisy. Don't focus so much about getting laid; learn to create a more sexually desirable you, learn to create a controllable positive lifestyle for yourself. The sex is just one part of it. Pure alpha. Being assertive, dominant, going for who you want, when you want, getting what you want while managing your time, maintaining your sanity, and dignity.
The best selling point is his big picture advice; how to set up asset protection even before engagement. With a divorce rate at 50%+, and the women always winning in court, there's tens of millions of men who would have benefited from the advice but didn't take the opportunity to. Great book.

This book since really caught my attention, as one of the main ingredients is the premise is my professional career; Asset protection. I've been to 18 weddings, and all but three ended in divorce. Each one started with starry eyed men talking about soul mates, and ended like the movie Fatal Attraction. Pretty lousy odds if you ask me. In every case, the guy lost half his assets, writes her monthly checks, and is often sued for a larger piece as his life improves. As an attorney, I can tell you pre-nups often don't mean squat anymore. This book offers bachelors a brilliant angle to tilt the cards back in mens' favor. All intelligent wealthy men use it, and it's not expensive. It may create a whole movement.
Marriage is like taking a fantasy trip to Vegas, and hoping to beat the house. We all try to pick the perfect girl, but in today's litigious environment, you really have to protect the downside in case your wins become losses. In the end, the house always wins. You want to be the house.
The more money you have, you attract hotter looking women, and more devious ones. Many of these girls are cold-hearted cons in disguise, who go into marriage with the intention to divorce. In plain language, this book shows you how to stay the king of your castle, by setting up an asset protection strategy pre-marriage, legally sealing away your money from divorce and frivolous lawsuits.
Take your time and enjoy courting beautiful women. Use them, just like they are using you. Eventually the time will come when you're pressed for marriage. There is no faster way to determine if she's marrying for love or money than telling her you're assets are not in your name and sealed away in layers of trusts. The cons will flee in horror, while chewing your butt out for having the audacity to protect your own money. My clients have laughed for hours over the final scenes in my office. It's these moments that make my career so enjoyable, stopping divorce fraud from occurring.
Follow the general rules Tate lays out in the book, and get professional counsel. Nevada has the most case tested law, more experienced lawyers, and competitive rates. We're talking a life of happiness, or a life of stress and poverty for years. If you're single, that should mean the world to you. If the girl says yes after hearing about your asset protection, I bet she'll be a great wife. Although in all my years of practice, I've yet to hear of one that will. Maybe that's why this is called The Professional Bachelor.

So much information in this it's almost overwhelming at times. This came highly recommended from an old college friend of mine who I constantly make fun for working it so hard with the ladies. I mean he's read all of these PUA books. (Game, Mystery, etc) I was very cynical even opening a page; man was I wrong. It's seriously intelligent, interesting, and the author is a highly educated nut! This book is written for guys who have their act together and hook up a fair amount, but are looking for that extra edge. It has great advice, and it's all written in satire and tongue and cheek. I can't believe more people don't point how funny it is. I should mention this book is a lot of offense; but where it differs is the self-defense approach in dating. Streamlining your time. It concentrates as much time on who not to date, what not to do, as well as the ultimate defense in dating; setting up asset protection to protect yourself in divorce.
The most interesting section was the psychoanalysis of the various female personalities, and role-playing styles for approaching/dating each. It has me reliving dates with half a dozen girls, as well as half a dozen I didn't want to date, but couldn't get rid of. He has a very dry, witty way of making you think, and seeing your mistakes from the past and what to do in the future. Girls all have some type of wall they put up. It's strange; they are so programmed with their you-go-grrl childish nonsense of blowing out guys. Even the men they are very attracted to rarely get anywhere unless the girl is in the mood. (or trying to show off to her posse). I realize it is just hiding from their insecurity, but men could sure use advice on dealing with this obstacle. The book gives great tips into creating these openings, by paying attention to her personality type, and role-playing to her style, as opposed to treating all girls the same.
I'm now able to get past the wall much easier and am closing like a champ. Plus, it's such a confidence booster now that I have that added intellectual edge, I find the success attitude just feeds on itself. By knowing who to date and not to date, I eliminate all those worthless dates. More importantly, I never get trapped in relationships I can't get out of, because I know better than to get involved in them in the first place. I don't put so much pressure on myself now, and the "whatever" attitude is attracting them like flies. It's nice to be in control.

Recommended by a friend fresh from a divorce. I took a lot of notes on the plane, so I'll try to be brief. Interesting book for on a long boring flight. If you're a big player looking for pick up stuff, you'll be familiar with several sections of it. Overall it's more a big picture lifestyle oriented book. Buy it for biting wit and tongue in cheek stuff, and it's a heck of a lot of fun for ten bucks.
I would describe this as dating satire guide with heavy shock value. The overall attitude in this book I would call somewhat confrontational. I imagine the reasons can be found in the dating landscape with little difficulty. I have numerous colleagues who are divorced and feel they were fleeced by a pre-ordained 3 year plan. I imagine at least half of them have indeed been rolled.
The first section is good social marketing advice on make yourself more attractive to the ladies - social status, attitude and persuasive conversation. The middle part could have been 20 pages shorter and worked great. It went into too much psychoanalysis detail about the different types of women, traits, habits, desires. Some of the info was really good. Some a bit harsh or questionable. The humorous tone popped in and out and at times and was spot on.
The section on asset protection is worth its weight in gold (see above), but also lagged for me. It was far too detailed and I got lost in the financial jargon. It doesn't apply to me right now, so I lost interest quickly.
Overall, many written points almost mirror the words spoken by an increasing number of my male friends. The changing social dynamic and mindset of the 30ish modern female divorcee in the dating game can be harsh. To see it written down in crude but very real terms made me laugh out loud. I have told my friends to look out for this book, for this alone. This is one of those books you read where you're constantly nodding your head on every page.
Tate's suggestion to the western relationship dilemma is to consider testing the waters in South America or Asia for better looking and warmer companions. It must have worked for him. A curious thought to ponder, that may need further research. I actually nodded in familiarity at the idea as well, having heard stories from a close college friend that almost seem too good to be true.

Intelligent and at times a seriously funny book written tongue in cheek, telling things exactly how they are. Brutally honest observations about numerous womens' agenda in dating. Excellent psychological solutions on how to stop being played and get what you want without getting your head ripped off, manhood deflated, and wallet pick pocketed.
It is a bachelor's guide, designed to create the best lifestyle you can on your terms. Like they say in business, when you take care of the downside, the upside will take care of itself.

I would've given this five stars but it was littered with typos and other minor editing glitches. Then again, no book is perfect and it does provide a dose of entertainment sprinkled with a heavy dose of shock value. Definitely not recommended for PC folks. But hey, you only live once, so give it a go.

A very funny book dealing with women in a feminized culture. Excellent social marketing advice for creating an emotional attraction; good advice for dodging the gold diggers and divorce asset thieves. It's light reading, with some seriously wicked LOLs every few pages. Despite having been around the block for two decades, I still picked up a bunch of stuff that I hadn't thought of before.
Dating techniques aside, I bought this book for advice in protecting a large nest egg and big salary. This has very specific information you can custom tailor to your needs, great preliminary reading to set up Asset Protection guide pre-marriage. Almost everyone has heard about the concept, but actually knowing how to set it up is a whole other ballgame. The explanations are very easy to read, without bogging you down with a lot of legalese. It covers multiple scenarios and solutions. From what I've read, you need at least 2 entities, which are surprisingly inexpensive considering the benefits (half your net worth). Whether you have a lot of property, investments, business equipment, high risk profession, or just have valuable toys or investment collectibles, you will find answers to each. In this day an age, a robber could trip and break his leg on your lawn sprinkler and sue you. Even guys with just 50-100K needs this stuff.
Another great thing covered here is showing how self-employed men "cram down their salary". Very valuable information, since potential alimony is based on that.

This book has made the rounds at the office, with a lot of guys going around quoting some of the funniest lines from the book. Tate is a great cynical writer. The guy really holds nothing back and tells it like it is today for Alpha males in a PC metrosexual world full of divorce happy women. Great persuasion and influence advice on dating girls on your terms. The section I thought the best is the financial shelter tips. He advises every guy to set up asset protection before you're even engaged, and to let the girl know in advance. Brilliant advice really. The gold diggers will walk saving you a lifetime of aggravation. Either way you're protected in case things go wrong.
I know at least half dozen guys who've been ridden hard and dry in a divorce who could have benefited immensely from this advice. The book is a great primer for studying up on the numerous options for self-employed business men to the wealthy. Explicit details for setting up shelters in layman terms...the how and where, what to do, what to avoid, etc. A quick study that will save you a lot of billable hours by being prepared in advance.

This is an excellent book to read if you are already a wealthy bachelor or aspiring to be one. If you haven't quite made it in the business world yet some of the stuff in this book isn't very applicable to your life but it tells you how to go about geting there and I am personally going to keep this book around so when I get there I will know what to do. Also, the personality profiles are fantastic. Especially the parts about "attention whores" and "catastrophe queens" these are always the fast & loose types of women that I always wondered why I couldn't get and after I read this book I realized it was because I was saying the wrong things. Like I said at the first, this is a good book for wealthy bachelors or aspiring wealthy bachelors. This book doesn't tell you how to fall in love or how to be a "good" person, but if you want to start getting the sex you're entitled to as a man or learn how to make money and protect your assets this book is for you.

Educational social marketing, intelligent writing, with a dry funny sarcasm to it. Not really a pickup book like Mystery, more of a bigger picture approach. Some introspective analysis and solutions to the twisted gender roles men play along with, which often destroy their goals, dreams, self-worth, asset base, and life in many cases. Sort of a "where you can be, where you should be." Definitely recommended for getting the edge.
The tidbits that I recall from memory that were best are the speed seduction tips, not resorting to buying attention or being played; recognizing the value of the quick release, seeing the right mesh of personalities and interest when it's there. Some psychological lessons in creating emotional attraction, and how to stick up for what you want out of a relationship.

This book is horrible. If there were zero stars, I'd give it zero stars. I'm ashamed to have even wasted any time on this shitty book.
The sad part is that I had *zero* expectations from this book and it still disappointed me.
Background: I picked this book up in a bundle on Amazon (buying the bundle was cheaper than buying the actual book so I figured, why not?). If you look at the reviews on Amazon, you'll find that it has mixed reviews but they're mostly decent (including a glowing review from a psychology teacher named Lindsay McConnell) but this book just isn't for me.
Sure, it has wit peppered on top of the shit. But a shit sandwich with wit is, what? It's still a shit sandwich.

This guy is a character for sure. A lot of the writing is some really funny rants and raves. Most of them are spot on, others I didn't agree with. The different review reactions are funny to observe. Tate, Mystery, and that Tucker Max dude (all bestsellers at one point) are lightning rods for the hater reviews. All in all, the book is an entertaining alpha view of the landscape, with some pertinent social dynamics advice on making yourself more attractive, fine tuning what you are looking for, and what ladies to avoid. You could read this purely for entertainment, but there really is a slew of great dating and financial advice that every man can benefit from. A fun and easy read that had me cracking up from page one.

Intelligent advice with the occasionally hilarious observation humor about dating from a man's perspective. In essence a self-defense guide on avoiding the wrong women as well as creating efficient self-defense for your money pre-marriage. There is excellent advice on spotting and avoiding the wrong women, and how to find the right ones. I can't tell you how many friends I have who were fooled and trapped, reduced to being a walking ATM machine in a suffocating relationship. This book helps you avoid the nonsense with ease.

Living in a trophy wife divorcee capital, I picked this up for asset protection to arrange before getting engaged down the road. I've attended some expensive seminars on the topic, and learned more detailed information in this book for just ten bucks. Seminars promise the world but tell you nothing other than attending more seminars and paying for high dollar phone consultations. Up-sell hell.
Self-employed men need this book. Follow the tips for setting up shelters. It's complex, but straight forward and concise as it gets.
I'm surprised no one is mentioning it has a 100 page bachelor vacation guide in the reviews.

A tad slow in the middle, but overall real fun and interesting. Tate captures the essence of the masculine mindset for creating the winner lifestyle with women. It shows you how to get what you want, but may lack the balls to go for. I've been waiting for someone to write a book like this for a while. This book tells it like it is, it highlights the ridiculous PC feminized culture we live in and educates men on how to ignore the propaganda and get what you want in life, be it business success, a wife, or a revolving door of girlfriends. It breaks dating down to pure psychology, shows you how to read women in minutes, and then plan your flirting and interaction.

If you like cynicism and sarcastic observation humor...this is one of more enjoyable books I've read in a long time. Bounces around from rave to insight in sort a witty British style. The topics are usually spoken quietly in dark corners of bars to psychiatric offices. The nuggets of truth will often be very accurate, and rarely admitted. If you want to have more fun than fear in dating by seeing through women, this is an excellent guide.
As you read it so many things will turn a light bulb on. Whether you're a lady killer, or continually being played by women, this book should have a real positive impact for years to come.
I'm still chuckling at some of the lines.

Invaluable financial advice. If you’re considering marriage, buy this. With the divorce rate at 50%, and considering the litigious environment we live in, there’s no reason not to protect yourself with asset protection. Inside is a concise and accurate guide to locking away your assets in self-defense BEFORE problems occur.
What's this book worth to you? For the price of two drinks, you’ll save half your assets.

Funny rants and raves about the cause and effect of feminism on dating from a man's point of view. Besides all the shock and comedy, there is great self-improvement advice, great steering conversation tools. Some well-thought perspectives on refusing to play the game, and changing your attitude, mindset, and approach with women.

An extensive formula for speed seduction and relationship dynamics. Covers social marketing, persuasion and influence, creating value/scarcity, building emotional connections, personality behavioral analysis, targeted role-playing, projecting charisma/presence, body language, timing, and much more.
For those who've take self-improvement/business marketing, this will be a nice refresher course with some added insights. In summation, you'll learn how to create a more attractive you, how to crack barriers and build a warm rapport, how to observe and predict behavior, and subconsciously connect more in conversation.
I`d actually classify this book as far more than the typical nightclub pickup guide. It goes way beyond that, more into the post hookup and relationship level. It's an introspective psychology tool for identifying the right personality match, maintaining healthy interaction, as well as a guide for recognizing problem situations early and avoiding getting trapped. Whether single, engaged or married, anyone can benefit from the advice.
Tate clearly wrote this for the lifetime bachelor. If you are in the back of your mind considering marriage, section two covers setting up asset shelters. It covers all the different formulas available; concise, but somewhat complex asset protection tutorials. As a small business owner, I set mine up a few years back and am very familiar with the process and terminology. I had my attorney skim through the pages to see if I needed to add any additional provisions that Tate proposes, but came out fine. For real estate investors, of importance, pg. 232 references an important change - see the Albright 291 bankruptcy Rptr 538 ruling. LLC's need to be multi-member from now on.
Tate's main theme for this section is to highly encourage men to set up shelters even before engagement, as a self-defense shield against the potential of a girl marrying money with the intent to divorce in a few years. I must say the concept is brilliant. Divorce rate is 50%+, so the advice is invaluable. Best offense is a good defense.
The last 60 pages are a bachelor's guide to vacationing in Rio de Janeiro, Costa Rica, and Thailand. Heavy on details from logistics, tourism advice, sports options(extreme sports, golf, fishing, etc); the best beaches, hotels, as well as pointing you to all the night clubs and easy hookup chica hotspots that hotel concierge's are clueless about. I've been to Brazil and Costa Rica before, and can vouch the advice is spot on. If you haven't been to Rio, it's a must! A fascinating section to read, and definitely a point-and-click time savor for the best itinerary during limited vacation time. Turns out Costa Rica has all kinds of extreme rafting, rapelling, and zip lining that I missed out on; great sail fishing there by the way.
Overall, I'd say the Professional Bachelor is a highly recommended read. Only negative, at 300 pages the editor should have trimmed it down, and tightened up the text a bunch; 250 pages would have been just right.
This is written for guys who are already players, and written as an intellectual's satire. If your sense of humor is limited, if you're a newbie who hasn't dated dozens of women and witnessed their highly volatile nature, or if you haven't viewed advanced financial structuring, this book may go way over your head (as seen in some of the reviews). But as far as a bachelor's manual, it is a totally unique treatise and on it's own level...something you'll re-read often, and will stand the test of time.
For you PUA junkies, The Professional Bachelor is probably more useful in conjunction with a book on creating openings and initial contact with women...so consider picking up The Mystery Method.
Also, get Tate's hilarious new memoir about his insane lifestyle living overseas. The title says it all. He just nails it with this book. Sex-drenched adventures filled with erotic photography and biting observation humor, with a cast of animated, flamboyant characters who push each other to edge and beyond.

This is a very effective, humorous guide for successfully steering social interaction with women in new relationships, or survival in your current one. The book covers many areas, from dating to setting up financial asset protection pre-marriage. Poignant self-improvement tips in making yourself more attractive to women; an attitude primer and conversation guide for seducing any personality. His points can be controversial, but it has a lot of really funny analysis, and he is usually spot on in telling it like it is. Recommended for any guy looking to get the best out of your prowling the singles scene.

February 11, 2008Okay, so here is one that I REALLY didn't like. This guy is so cynical that he makes me look like I'm on Prozac. He is mysoginistic, and that I cannot tolerate. I thought the "How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho" part was just being funny, but no, it really is about exploitation of the fairer sex. I got through 9 whole pages before I could not read anymore. I would advise all women that don't want to get upset, and all men that don't want their women upset at them, to avoid this book like the plague.
