Amazon.com Review
Hard to believe anything other than luck and maybe fate, never mind a book, can make someone fall in love with you, but oddly enough, Leil Lowndes seems to offer the advice that can do just that in How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You. The sensation of falling in love comes from a chemical secreted by the nervous system, phenylethylamine (or PEA, as Lowndes calls it, as in "Scientists tell us only PEA-brained people fall in Love"), and the trick is to trigger the manufacture of PEA in your potential love partner, giving him or her the sensation of being in love. Lowndes offers 85 techniques for "Hunters and Huntresses" to capture their "Quarry." Much of what the book offers is common sense--the power of eye contact and compliments--but it's presented in a new way and with such detail that it seems that it can't help but work. Following some of her advice will have you treading that fine line between nice and obsequious, and at times, this book may sound offensive to some, advising the reader to play what may sound like games. Lowndes is aware of this, and she offers some caveats, but still it is hard to get past advice such as, "Show him you're smart, but remember--not too smart" or "Watch your Quarry's reactions to outside stimuli, then show the same emotions." In all fairness, Lowndes doesn't play favorites: her advice to men and women can be equally appalling. Yet, the relaxed style of this book, presenting solid wisdom with a bit of scientific support, makes this book appealing, and, who knows, maybe it will make you more appealing, too! --Jenny Brown

• Some Of The Best Advice For Men.
02 March, 2010
I have to say that I really liked this book. It's got some of the best advice for men that I have read, thus so far. (It's probably a good read for women, too.) What I found most important was the author's advice on how to actually meet people--women--and how to interact. The "trick" to making them fall in love with you is described, at best, as something that you might not naturally do. (No spoilers here.) The title does say it all and this is some of the best advice I've gotten thus so far in relation to dating. I have to recommend this one to men, as well as How to Get a Girlfriend: Two Classic Dating Guides in One Volume-Understanding Women and How To Be The Man Women Want.

• Women, Follow This Advise At Your Own Risk
18 June, 2010
I can't speak for the men's advice, but for women, beware. Sherry Argov's Bitch books are so much more on target.
This book convinced me that I could be oh so OPEN with a man, regarding romantic feelings. Not such a swift idea, as warned by multitudes of other books! Oh sure they like that at first. Makes you like dinner for the sharks. But if you're looking for a genuine give & take, satisfying romance, you'd better negotiate some balance. And the part about satisfying his deepest kinky urges? This one is totally wrong! (if you want to win love!) Men can really push the limits on "what they NEED" if you'll buy it. I would seriously advise: Do Not Do Anything you don't feel comfortable with! No matter how much Prince Charming says he's just got to have it! Call his bluff
& tell him he can do that thing with somebody else. If a guy really cares for you, he will adapt. If all he cares about is some kinky act, you will find loosing him a small loss. Pushing yourself around the world in 80 ways will not win you love, just some grunt of, "Gee wasn't that fun, I wonder just how far she'll go." Luckily I didn't fall totally for this, but I was plagued with some confusion for a while. Another person women can learn well from, is Ceasar Millan, with his Dog Whisperer shows. Men, like dogs, tend to follow a dominant pack leader who sets some boundaries before affection. The same old man/woman dynamics still apply. The advice for men might be better, since she is a woman, & she knows what women will fall for. But ladies, take her advice with a LARGE grain of salt.

• Bias
04 May, 2010
Lowndes is an impressive author. Pity she cannot be objective. For her it is not ok to go after someone significantly better looking than yourself. But it is ok to go after someone significantly richer than yourself. A typical chick bias.
Men - better get advice from your brothers Clink, La Ruina or Valentine. They are more on your side.
Her: "Undercover Sex Signals" are great though.

• Why Aren't Her Other Books This Awsome?!
08 July, 2009
There is a pathetically small selection of books for those who just want a regular dating life and aren't focused on either extreme of picking up random people for shallow sex, or getting married and wanting all kinds of romance.
This is one of those hard to find books. I know some of the "techniques" as from all kinds of self-help and psychology, and NLP. But put in relevant context. Many "techniques" are not so much techniques as focuses or lessons, or experiments. Such as in Gestalt psychology where you experiment with actions or cognitions that are ego-alien and potentially expansive.
She doesn't focus on any one thing as the special technique that will make it all happen. And it is all not as manipulative as the title sounds. It is more playing into how people naturally work.
Unlike all those pick-up books where they think people are too dumb to know when they are being manipulated. I had a friend once who could talk to anyone and get any woman he wanted. He never used a pick-up line other than "hi" and did not play specific games. What he had was a positivity and tact with others and the ability to play along with however the other person was acting and bring them up.
So a book like this should not be intended to fill your head with fake actions that you pull out of your pocket at the right time, but a map of how to begin to learn what works for the person in their given situation.
More specifically about the book, it has tremendously less fluff language than her other books that seem to be just as collection of boring anecdotes about her experiences and some description of a "technique" that's hard to follow, all in cheesy language. This book is much much more structured and the anecdotes are shorter and seem much more relevant.
I also want to add some of my skepticism toward self-help, in that the information in this book is very difficult to learn and implement in the spontaneity of interaction, without some sort of mentor.

• I Felt Dirty After Reading This Book
11 March, 2010
I bought this book on the recommendation of a male acquaintance, not so much to put it into practice as out of curiousity... He had described his extremely manipulative dating practices to me and then recommended the book, so I was curious as to the exact techniques... especially since I felt he was using some of them on me.
I went in with an open mind. And a highliter. At first, the book was full of common sense advice. Make lots of eye contact. How do you expect to meet someone special dressed like THAT. Things I already knew.
But as the book went on, the advice became increasingly specific and increasingly ugly. Fake shared interests. Fake shared values. Basically, fake who you are so that you look like you are enough like him so that he will fall in love with you but just different enough to keep it interesting. I repeat, fake who you are.
Why would you want anyone to fall in love with you when you aren't being you? Could you imagine finding this book on your new lover's shelf and realizing that these techniques had been used on you, that the person you thought you were with was nothing like the person you were actually with? If I made that discovery, I couldn't run far enough fast enough.
Years ago I read Margaret Kent's How to Marry the Man of Your Choice, which I loved. I can recommend that book. It had specific grooming tips. It had specific positive recommendations like "say hello to every man you meet who you are reasonably certain is not a convicted felon". It had advice about how to get a conversation started and keep it going, how to make it easier to run into an interesting man again. But that book's advice just gave a few positive pointers and helped you to put your best foot forward. You were still you! I recommend that book as an alternative to this one.
