This book is both a dating self-improvement book for men and a personal memoir of the author. The author gives men strategies for dating life in college and in their young professional years. The author, named Troy, gives dating examples from his life. He gives a detailed guide to initiating conversations with women in nightclubs. There are examples of how to start up a relationship with an office colleague. The book also contains tips on personal maintenance and self-improvement tips to become a better person.

Guidance From A Bachelor is written by Troy Cannon. It breaks down how to approach women during social situations into easy-to-understand steps. This is helpful for men who lack confidence. I like that the book acknowledged a man should have hobbies and interests that can be discussed and shared. The book also emphasizes taking the time for self-improvement and career development before dating seriously.

This book is not professionally edited. I identified several typographical errors. The slang and vulgar language used throughout makes the book a tough read. I found the author’s tone and writing style to be self-involved and pompous. This book contains a lot of stereotypical, masochistic, male behavior. It was not an enjoyable read. The descriptions of picking up women come across as bragging. Admittedly, as a female, I am not the target audience.

I rate this book two out of five stars. The book does give some solid advice on how to approach women. The typographical errors, arrogant tone of voice, and overuse of slang, all detracted from my enjoyment. The author spends too much time detailing his conquests. More time should have been spent on practical dating advice for the readers.

I do not recommend reading this book. The intended audience is males between the ages of 18 and 30, who want more confidence in the dating scene. There are some graphically detailed sexual scenes, use of alcohol, and profanity.

It definitely does NOT seem like a nice read. As a female, as well, there is absolutely no way this book would resonate with me. It's silly to think that some men consider "picking up girls" a thing to take pride in. The author honestly doesn't seem like someone who should write a book, because, if advice is being given then his being pompous is extremely unnecessary. I saw the title of the review and thought it would be better. Thanks for your honesty in writing this review, the book is worth the read.

Thank you for your insightful review of "Guidance From A Bachelor"! Your perspective as a female reader adds valuable context. I appreciate your honest feedback on the book's editing, language, and tone. It's great to see that the book offers helpful guidance for men lacking confidence and emphasizes personal growth.

The feedback provided for the review of "Guidance From A Bachelor" is fair and balanced. The reviewer acknowledges the book's helpfulness in providing dating strategies for men, particularly in social situations like nightclubs and the workplace. They appreciate the emphasis on personal development and career advancement before pursuing serious dating. However, the reviewer points out several shortcomings in the book, such as the lack of professional editing leading to typographical errors, the use of slang and vulgar language that makes it difficult to read, and the self-involved and pompous tone of the author. They express discomfort with the stereotypical and masochistic behavior portrayed and the excessive focus on the author's conquests. The reviewer rates the book two out of five stars, recognizing some solid advice on approaching women but feeling that the negative aspects detract from its value. They do not recommend the book, especially for female readers, due to explicit sexual content, alcohol use, and profanity.
Sincerely,
Sondang :tiphat:
