Excellent book. Every man in the online dating world should read this.
So far I have read two other books that Charlie Valentino has written: Destroy Approach Anxiety and First Dates Tips for Men. The first was alright and the second one was surprisingly good. Given that track record (and that I can finish his books in a day) I figured I'd look into this one. Once again, I was surprised at how good it was (the cover is definitely cheesy...but give it a chance...).The books covers a plethora of topics related to online dating such as: Good online dating sites, proper photos, how to set up your profile, exchanging messages with women, a woman's perspective with online dating using his friend (this sounds weird, but trust me this perspective is worth its weight in gold.), etc. The woman's perspective material made me realize just how crazy online dating is for men AND women and what women have to go through. It was definitely some eye-opening material for me. On a side note, some of the suggestions in this book may make you come off as cocky. However I think that Charlie does a good job of providing alternative suggestions just in case this method is not your thing. There is something for everyone.I think any man who is into online dating needs to read this book. The book is an easy read (you can easily read it in a day), very detailed, provides examples (good ones to follow and bad ones to avoid) and I honestly think that anyone who reads it will learn a lot. Even if you don't agree with everything I think you are bound to agree with something. Highly recommended!

Author understands online dating. Needed this info 7 years ago!
The author clearly understands the online dating culture. I haven't explored his other work yet, but he knows this. His advice is actually quite good, I have online dated several times and it took me some time to learn many of these same concepts. I think there is some really strong concepts whether you are new to online date or experiencedMy favorite concept: "spend less time talking about myself... more talking about what I expect my date to be". The book will give you more information on why this concept is important, but I really appreciated that the author was expressing this realization. Other favorite information included his specific information about ways to utilize specifics like subject titles and initial e-mail content.One of the real downsides of the book was the formatting fell apart at times in the book. Several pages were all in bold and difficult to read. Other downsides included it only teaches the "approach" or the up front part of online dating. For more dating advice (or what to do when you get the fish on the line) I might recommend Will Work for Women: The Guide on How to Meet, Attract, and Date Women or Make Her Beg to be Your Girlfriend: Be the "Nice Guy" Who Always Gets the Girl Buy the book if you want to have an advantage over the competition in the online dating game.

Very basic and common sense, not worth the buy.
This book was terrible It's all common sense, this might help the innately socially impaired individual who has no idea how to go about online dating, but for the average joe this book need not apply. I feel like the author wanted a quick buck and decided to write this in a month using conventional wisdom as a platform, I could've written a better book or at least as good of one and I have no experience writing. There are a few good tips obviously but not worth the time to read, and the money to purchase if you are a normal guy with average dating experience and have common sense driving you.

This Book Is Written For Us Men In MInd.
This book gave me the impression that it was written for us men and to help us out on getting our own future partner on the internet.A very informative book and it is easy to read too. Getting it if you really need the help too.

Mixed Reviews
This author certainly knows how to get you noticed online. What he is not saying is that if you follow his method, you will likely give a very off-putting first impression, even if the girl does respond, she is likely to think you arrogant, and you will have to overcome this when you meet her. Most of the real quality (non teenage) women that I am interested in are not impressed with this approach. Nevertheless, there are some good pointers in this book, that will help improve your online dating. I give it a 3.

Very quick read
Very quick read that helped a noob like me make a decent profile and I had various success from following the advice in this book. One thing is this book pushes match.com which is not the service I have used personally, but the screenshots from the perspective of both the guy and girl are helpful and the insights can be applied to any service.

Too focused on match (dot) com, never mentions Tinder
Online Dating for Men has some good tips, but it's too heavily focused on match (dot) com. I tried that site and hated the format because men must initiate all the communications, even if the woman has shown no interest. It's a huge waste of time. The world of online dating has totally changed now that Tinder is around, and this book never mentions this app. I suggest all single men who are photogenic and not weirdos/creeps to forget about dating websites and just create a Tinder account. It's free and it works for me.
