Product Description:
Ever wonder why the a**hole always gets the girl? The answers are all here in this cradle-to-grave primer outlining how women can be manipulated, frustrated, and ultimately dominated through-out the course of a man's life. With no political correctness, no B.S., and no holds barred, who else but an a**hole could teach guys the essentials: -Dating in college (i.e., getting blackout drunk and having sex) -Women give sex to get love, men give love to get sex -Breaking up is not hard to do-if you do it first -How to cheat on your wife without getting caught -Everything that pornos are afraid to teach men about sex -And much more! With 'practical' advice throughout (inclu-ding tests, trivia, charts, and sidebars) and tons of hilarious tips to read aloud at parties, men will never be intimidated by women again!

This is a bad book. It was written as a joke and has no good advice.

Considering that this book is written as a guide for assholes to be good at being assholes, people who find the content and tone objectionable really don't have much to complain about. For those who want to read the book as a self-help manual the book is surprisingly insightful and written in a clear, amusing way.
Dan Indante is an attorney and Karl Marks is a comedian, and between the two they have collected all available knowledge about how to treat and tame the fairer sex, and condensed it into a highly readable 249 pages. What's truly astonishing about the book is that the insights that the authors offer about women are consistent with those offered by Neil Strauss in "The Game" and what the neuro-scientist Louann Brizendine offers in "The Female Brain": women are highly prone to insecurities and emotional volatility, and whose focus and energy are devoted to winning the praise and support of other women in their youth, and then, in their adulthood, to raising and maintaining a family. That's why assholes in the end always win: with their stupid and selfish, callous and reckless behavior they're always triggering the emotional insecurities of women, causing them to rely on and depend on the very men who disgust and outrage them.
It is hard to discern what drives the two authors to write such a malicious but truthful book. Machiavelli wrote "The Prince" as a job application, looking to become a trusted adviser to the Medici family. But what could the authors possibly hope to gain from admitting that they're assholes who would like to create an army of assholes? I suppose, an army of assholes is one answer -- but who really wants to control an army of assholes, except maybe Dick Cheney and Paris Hilton? The book may be funny and witty at times, but I suspect it is written out of intense self-loathing and disgust. Which woman or women could have possibly driven the authors to such a mad violent reading of an entire sex? Unfortunately, the authors reveal nothing about themselves, which leads us even more to conclude that there must be a sordid, tragic past behind this entertaining and enlightening book.

Here's the thing. Im' a 28-year-old female who appreciates dirty filthy humor. I was even a huge laughing-so-hard-I'm-crying fan of the Tucker Max autobio. This book is nothing like that. It's just poorly written and all over the place in terms of topics. So much so that I can't even finish the prologue let alone the first chapter!
If you like the raunchy, unbelievable stories, stick to Tucker, Chelsea Handler, and the people who are tried and true in this department.

I volunteer with youth groups and organizations for college "girls".
There is an entire "arsenal", if you will, of books we recommend they read about dating and relationships,because this is the least known area of their lives and the one where there is so much failure.
I have added this to the list because women need to know what most men think. Sadly, it isn't the stuff of Jimmy Carter or Billy Graham but rather that of "complete a**holes".
My hope is that this book becomes as popular among the under 40 group of women as The Rules, Getting to a Yes, the Mars/Venus series...etc.
Women, pay attention, please: THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF MAN YOU NEED TO AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Don't even lay one. Especially "hot" women, who these days tend to be outright bimbos.
Get THE GAME and THE ALPHA MALE and those "pimp" books too.
And give this and those to your daughters, nieces, cousins, friends, coworkers, church/temple/mosque members...etc. who are female.
In fact, I am keeping all the books I wrote above in a "hope chest" for my 5 year old, too.
Rise, women, rise. May you all find a man who keeps his inner a**hole at bay, like my husband.

After reading a book called The Game, I've really gotten into the "seduction" community and bought a quite a few books I hoped would give me the nuts and bolts of how to be a pickup artist. I assumed this book was in that same realm, but it's not so much a system or certain techniques as it is a guiding philosophy. A funny philosophy ...
The book wasn't as immediately helpful as some of the other how-to books, but in the long run, it was funny and kept me interested. I wouldn't directly apply much of what the author's teach to my own life, but it helps you think about your own perspectives on women and you'll find yourself wrestling with whether you agree with the points this book makes are not. It got me thinking...
If you're looking for a system or a real how-to guide, I recommend the Mystery Method and also Secrets of the A Game: How to Meet and Attract Women Anywhere, Anyplace, Anytime. If you're a guy and you're looking for something to make you think and make you laugh, this is a great book.
