After re-reading Joseph Matthew’s seminal e-book, “The Art of Approaching,” I’m compelled to offer my thoughts on this important topic. Let’s face it: the trickiest part of dating is getting past that first approach and having the opportunity to make a good first impression. While there are numerous other e-books that teach the art of attraction, seduction, flirting, and romance, no one addresses that critical first step better than Matthews in “The Art of Approaching.”
If you’re thinking about purchasing “The Art of Approaching,” it’s probably dawned on you that all the other techniques in the world aren’t going to help you if you can’t get your foot in the door, so to speak.
The Art of Approaching: an Updated Version
First written almost ten years ago, Joseph Matthews’ “The Art of Approaching” has been upgraded and revised, based upon the writer’s experiences in coaching men on the art of approaching a woman. The initial version of the book was absolutely fine. It contained the most detailed breakdown I’d ever seen on topics such as: where do you approach women, how do you approach women, what do you say first, how do you close that first interaction, how do you deal with rejection, and how to prepare your mind.
Since its first publication, the advice and guidance offered in this book have only become more practical and helpful. Those who claim that this is just a beginners’ book must have a case of sour grapes, or else know nothing about how to approach women. Any man who isn’t an absolute pro in the art of approaching women can benefit from the many ideas and examples provided in this e-book. Even as you become more experienced and further develop your skills with females, you’ll always find something of benefit in this how-to guide. Think of it as a lifetime dating resource.
Some of the most helpful sections are those on using situational approaches, body language, and storytelling.
The Art of Approaching: The Author’s Own Struggles
Joseph Matthews (also known as “Thundercat”) is an inspirational story in himself. With apologies to Mr. Matthews, he demonstrates that a man doesn’t have to be conventionally handsome to be able to attract women. If you listen to his own story, it will convince you that his book is the perfect primer for a guy who doesn’t think he can ever be successful in attracting a woman.
Throughout the book, he shares his personal story, including his worst moments in the dating scene, as well as his gradual discovery and mastery of the secrets to approaching women, establishing an attraction, and then moving in for the big seduction. And most of his skills were developed through trial and error.
Not afraid to be painfully honest, he takes the reader through his experiences of sitting home on weekends –with his only sexual experiences being solo while watching TV, to becoming one of the true masters of the art of pick-up.
In addition to sharing his own story, the author provides plenty of practical advice, as well as proof that what he is teaching does work.
“The Art of Approaching” will only set you back by about the cost of a monthly membership at your local gym, but it will bring you even more benefits. The years of learning, mistakes, and triumphs that built this book make it a real bargain.
New and improved, “The Art of Approaching” is still a classic, and one that I highly recommend.
