One example of this is the issue of women’s attractiveness scales. Manson keeps getting caught up in contradictions. And it is not “honest” in the author’s sense.īut also in terms of content, the book is not always straightforward. This may be okay in a freely accessible blog, but not in a book that people pay money for. “Models” is one of the most misspelled books I’ve ever read.

Unfortunately, the author does not succeed himself in meeting the demands he places on the reader. Whether fashion, fitness, nutrition, body language, voice, conversation techniques, overcoming fears, humour or charm – Manson has some really helpful advice for everything. However, the greatest practical benefit of Manson’s advice is not so much in the theoretical part as in the sheer amount of concrete tips on all areas of life. (probably with the aim of appearing somewhat more socially desirable.) Or as a PUA would say: A reframing of the well-known theory. But from a technical point of view, it’s just old wine in new bottles. Manson’s thinking offers an interesting, new perspective that has also decisively influenced my world view. The thumb ring mentioned at the beginning falls under Peacocking for Mystery and serves to signalize higher value (DHV) and thus generate attraction, for Manson it is an expression of an honest lifestyle. He calls this efficient, honest communication. Manson does it in order to polarize and find out more quickly whether the woman belongs to the group of women who want to have sex with him (without, however, believing it would make him more attractive). For example, when Mystery teases women, he does so to operate “attrachtion switches”. But when you take a look at the concrete instructions that follow from his theory, you can see that they hardly differ from those of other PUAs. Manson never tires of praising his wisdom as groundbreaking innovations in stark contrast to the classic pick-up. (cold reading, for example: “Where are you from?” translates to: “You look like a California girl.”) He continues with storytelling (set-up, conflict, resolution), role playing, games, dating activities, IOIs, cinema, kissing, escalating to sex, erectile dysfunction. Instead, talk about yourself or make assumptions about her. Do not use any “uh” or similar filler words. Talk about your passions and your dreams. Create confidence by showing her your vulnerability.

While these have similar meanings in general language, in Manson’s lingo they refer to opposing concepts. Other key concepts are needyness and vulnerability.

For example, if you don’t wear a thumb ring because you’ve never thought about thumb rings before, or because you think thumb rings seem gay, it’s dishonest because you put your own needs behind your laziness or social desirability. Manson uses a rather broad concept of honesty, which defines any actions that deny your actual desires as dishonest. The central message of Manson is that your success with women is determined by the degree of your honesty. Due to the many technical and contentwise errors unfortunately not suitable for beginners. Models is an impressive book that lets you see the dating world with different eyes.
