Models is the first book ever written on seduction as an emotional process rather than a logical one, a process of connecting with women rather than impressing them. It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer. Inside, you'll learn:
- The root behavior that causes all female attraction.
- Why typical dating advice and pick up theory is counter-productive in the long-run.
- How to overcome nervousness and anxiety around attractive women.
- How any man can make himself appear attractive with a little time and effort.
- The three keys to keeping conversations with women interesting and engaging.
- How to discover the beliefs and attitudes that are sabotaging your success with women.
- How to develop a genuine and joyful sense of humor.
And much more...

I've read just about every conceivable book on this subject and this is easily the best of them. It summarises all of them concisely, cutting through the crap, but in an engaging manner. In short, start on making improvements to yourself and the rest will follow. It doesn't bother with fancy pickup techniques, it merely reinforces that taking positive action in your own life means that everything else will fall into place after. If you aren't inspired to change after reading this, then you will likely never make the changes you need.

A good confirmation of modern day masculinity. Good read with a nice action plan at the back of the book.

I've read many a self help book but it is very rare that I read one which resonated this deeply as fundamental truth. Read what it says if you want to learn how to be a high value man, do what it says if you want to become one.

Who would've thought that relationships were a balance between nice guyism on one side and narcissism on the other?
Love the non-needy idea and the way in which vulnerability is the key path to it. My best connections have been through exposing myself to attack and taking the risk.
Great work. Will reread.

i had learnt some of these techniques as apart of self development courses. To see it put in such a way that i understood the reasons it works well and how self belief with a compassionate and trutheful perspective is so attractive is really cool.

As good as PUA books get, which is not very
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2020Verified Purchase
I think this book's view of non-neediness as the most attractive quality in men is right. I also think it's right to say that while fawning over women, changing your schedule to suit them and trying to buy them with romantic gestures is needy, so is acting aloof and superior, "negging" them and wearing outrageous clothing. Both involve changing your behaviour unreasonably to win the approval of women, and any radical change to your patterns of behaviour for the sake of women is needy.
However, buying a book to learn how to become better with women is also needy. Mark Manson is advocating a radical change to your way of life in order to get with women, although like all PUA coaches, he claims that his program of change is different, because it involves more noble concepts like honesty and vulnerability. But the question remains to me: what's wrong with me now? There is a cruelty in all such books in that they imply that men aren't good enough as they are and that they need to become incredibly psychologically literate and aware of their every last thought and action in order to attract women. It isn't true. Men have been attracting women just by being born men for millenia.
Let's look at Mark Manson's description of Jeff, his example of a non-needy man:
"Jeff has been successful with women for his entire life and has a very low level of investment with them until he's gotten to know them well. Jeff enjoys going out with his friends and pays no attention to whether the women around him approve of him or not. At times, he says something weird or gets rejected but it doesn't bother him. But other times, girls become quite attracted to Jeff. When Jeff notices, if he finds them attractive, he'll take their number and ask them out..."
I don't find this realistic as an ideal, or necessarily desirable. While I completely accept that neediness is the greatest turn-off for women (as Manson puts it, "to a woman, a man with a lot of neediness is like having the worst breath and lots of missing teeth"), Jeff sounds like he couldn't care less whether he has a woman in his life or not. While it's bad to be needy, for most men the companionship of a woman is felt as a need, something that can make a real difference in life and the absence of which can be painful. There are also natural biological desires that we have and can't switch off even if we might sometimes want to. It doesn't sound like Jeff has any of these problems. Surely women want a man who feels a strong desire to be with them. How can a man who feels real desire for a woman "pay no attention to whether the woman around approve of him or not"? This isn't realistic for anyone. No one pays no attention to whether others approve, in fact it would be foolish to do so, as others can give us feedback on ourselves from angles we wouldn't have seen.
Also, as with all PUA books, there is an implication that no factors matter in attractiveness other than those that you can change through training and greater psychological awareness. Your looks, your height, your physique, crucially of course your bank balance, your career and social circle. Manson speaks as if Jeff is only attractive to women because he isn't needy, as if none of these other factors matter, as if an ugly man or a handsome man, a poor man or a rich man, could train themselves in this non-neediness and see equal results. This rather erases a man's individual attributes. We know nothing about this Jeff character and why women might be attracted to him. Presumably he has some attractive traits that he was born with, other than not being needy. Surely some men aren't attractive to women for reasons other than neediness. When speaking of women finding neediness as unattractive as missing teeth and bad breath, he doesn't really emphasise the fact that woman are also turned off by missing teeth and bad breath. In fact the reality is that there is nothing about a man that women don't take into account when considering his attractiveness. Non-neediness may be the top unattractive quality that you're able to do something about, but she may find you unattractive for others reasons that you couldn't have predicted. That's how it is with women. You can never fully pin down how they will react to you or why. That's where books like this will always fall down.

The Best Book Ever Written For Men
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2017Verified Purchase
This is not just a great book, it is the best book on self-improvement and dating advice ever. For more than 1 year I read Red Pill BS every day. I was sick and tired, didn’t have a great alternative, or you read red pill, or you read mainstream cliché BS, and those guys from the 'manosphere' use cult tactics to convince they are the real and only macho thing.
After 1,5 years I decided to give a last chance and try this “Models” that a lot of guys talk about. But I was skeptical because I tought it was too 'soft'.
I was wrong.
After a few pages I knew this was the true answer to what I really needed: become attractive and understand women very well without changing yourself completly. I got much more than that.
Mark Mason doesn’t write simple theories like everybody else. Everything he writes has a lot of cientifical research and his own experience. That is why this is a revolution in seduction knowledge — remember, I had been read dating advice from hundreds of professional "players" every day for 1,5 years, I kept reading because I felt that everything I read was unhealthy theories based on their bad experiences and beliefs about women, only to find out what I already suspected deep down: they are all f*ck*d up in their heads.
My advice to every guy who wants to become attractive and learn how to be good with the ladies: buy this book and read it several times. You'll never need to read anything more ever again. Get rid of all Red Pill stuff you have. This is the complete guide, gives you the true attractiveness and seductive knowledge without any "fake it until you make it" or tricks and tactics. No more boy games, this is for real men who have courage to be honest and straight foward.
And the most important thing: you won't be a mentally ill women-hater.
You will learn to trully admire and understand women for what they are instead of seeing them as labeled objects who are meant to be exploited.
Remember guys, women are a very important part of our lives, so it is important learn this right.
I am very lucky to have this precious knowledge.
Thank you Mark for all the effort!

The book that saved my life
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 March 2019Verified Purchase
I am 26 and was for over two years in a toxic relationship. This book opened my eyes and made me realize that I was actually the character of this book, a needy guy. I decided to get rid of this neediness by facing the fact that I was in a toxic relationship, and there were aspects of this relationship that could not be solved. The problem is that I was just too comfortable to leave, thinking that I could not have found someone like her in the future, till the point that I almost got married.
But then I realized that by improving myself I could have achieved more, and find what I was actually looking for. I started reading self-improvement books, workout 3-4 times a week and be more social. I started working on myself, rather than showing neediness and pleasing others.
You know it is time to leave, when your gut and instincts tell you so. Get out, work on your goals, and on that path of self improvement you will find what you are looking for. It is just a matter of time.

I did not buy this book in order to attract women; I’m married. I bought it because I wanted to change my relationships with women and how I interact with them (I won’t go into why!!). I have to say that I wish this book was around when I was younger because it would have dramatically changed my life. After reading it, and another book by the same author (the orange one), I am an entirely different person; well-adjusted, confident and happy (or at least well on my way to all 3!). Buy it if you want to attract women or if, like me, you just want to be a better man.

What a man MUST know?
Reviewed in India on 25 March 2021Verified Purchase
Right from my young age, I don't like to discuss my problems with people who are very shallow in their suggestions or advice. Something like "Don't be sad. Be Happy" would make me angry while I'm dealing with an emotional problem. This book is excellent to read just for the sake of depth that it offers on every single page Literally every single page.
To this date, attracting women is always projected as a "master manipulation" which could be done only by few guys. This book easily broke all the unwanted assumptions I had so far. Especially the discussions and suggestions on Non-neediness. When thinking about it, I could see how it is applicable to very many things other than dating & relationships. Take Neediness from any kind of Negotiations, you'll have the upper hand. Take it out from business deals, you'll have the upper hand. Take it out from prospective proposals, you'll definitely have the upper hand. It is as simple as it.
I mean this book should be kept in all the college libraries (especially in India) to make the guys stop the <b>"girl chasing" phase in their lives. Indian teens should understand the power of attraction and girl chasing should not be glorified at all. "Nothing-to-lose" attitude is the real power in a man and this book "sub-communicates" that if you're closely watching it.
The crux of this book on Dating & Relationships talks about being honest with women. The reason for that is to save time so that you can move on to other women who really going to like you for who you're! And that's what polarizing, non-neediness, and the assortment effect, are talking about in this book. Honesty Saves time.
Yes, this book has no format of professional writing. This looks like a popular Quora answer running for two hundred and forty pages but who cares? The content is extraordinary. Worth my money and a real driving factor for attraction is inside it.
The 4 stars are just because of few things which are not possible in a country like India. Because the demographics highly impacts the approach sometimes. Keeping that aside this is majorly a must-read in self-development.
I recommend this book to all Indian men between eighteen and thirty-five.
How cool it would be if we stop chasing and start attracting. Of course, honestly!
