Review by TokyoPUA:

As its title suggests, in this excellent book Joseph Matthews has created the most complete book on approaching women written to date. If you are looking to improve your ability to approach women, you will do that with this book.

But what was surprising to me was that the book was actually much more than just a guide on approaching, it covers everything you will need to go beyond the approach and into the bedroom. The Art of Approaching is actually now in its 3rd edition and Matthews added this extra detail since the last two editions so now there is so much more beyond just information about approaching. The chapters now include:

• The Art of Relationship Skills
• The Art of Belief
• The Art of Body Language
• The Art of Confidence
• The Art of Approaching^»
• The Art of Dating
• The Art of Flirting
• The Art of Storytelling
• The Art of Being Social
• The Art of Seduction^»

All this information rounds the book out to a very complete 342 pages. The core is still about approaching women, it is about 1/3rd of the book. The book is on the longer side for most seduction e-books I have read, and this could be tough for those of you slow readers or those with short attention spans. But it is a faster read than you might think because Matthews has written in many personal stories which are both instructional and entertaining at the same time.

The fact that the book illustrates so many of its principles through the eyes and experiences of Matthews himself makes it very unique among the books out there. You get to really understand the personality of the author and I think most readers will empathize with him because he shares the lows he came from when he had no skills with women and was very overweight, to how he overcame these limitations by learning the skills he teaches in the book. A key message I got was that if Matthews himself could overcome these limitations, than anyone can by following his example.

But the book is not one dimensional despite this personal perspective, as there are many cool examples of the experiences of students that Matthews has taught, and what’s more there are many stories relating his own experiences as a student learning from some of the top ladies men in the world like Neil Straus (a.k.a. Style), Mystery, Zan and more. So when you buy The Art of Approaching, you are getting the combined knowledge of not only Matthews, but other masters as well. Some of what you will learn includes:

• Tons of great opener types like joke, opinion, role play, online, direct, situational, compliment openers and more
• The key questions you must ask yourself to succeed
• An extremely in depth examination of body language, both how to display it and read it
• Secret of eye contact
• Best ways and places to meet women
• The fish and hook method of meeting and seducing women
• The two types of flirting and 11 guidelines for how to flirt effectively, plus the secret weapon of innuendo
• The importance of stories and how to tell great stories
• How to develop a great social network and use it to meet tons of women
• 6 tips for how to influence people and women
  
  and much more...

What is really cool about all this information in the book is how Matthews ties it all together in stories of his own conquests. The final chapter of the book ties all of what you learn together in the personal story of how he seduces a beautiful model from New York and finally seals the deal when she comes to LA and visits him.

All throughout the book you get the sense that you are reading something by someone who really knows what he is talking about and has devoted a lot of time not just to learning the techniques, but the philosophy behind it all. There are points in the book where Matthews goes back hundreds of years to explain how and why women were prized for their virginity and how that still effects their behavior presently, and also talks about how religion has shaped things in the way we think that aren’t very useful for doing well with women and should be questioned, etc.

If you yourself aren’t getting the kind of results you want with women, and in specific if you want to improve your ability to approach them effectively, then you owe it to yourself to check out this great book. Think you are too overweight, not good looking or rich enough? Joseph Matthews managed to learn to do well with women despite these kinds of obstacles, and tells you step by step how to do the same thing yourself. It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen faster if you get The Art of Approaching for yourself now!
