Dating Essentials for Men: The Only Dating Guide You Will Ever Need Paperback – August 9, 2021

This guy is on point, he takes a realistic approach to dating. No trashy pick up lines, no macho man personas, no women hating tactics here. Just a clear and easy way to understand that you can’t understand everything about women, but for what you can understand, you can master to your advantage. It’s a comprehensive book on getting the woman you need and want without the “technique geek” stuff that doesn’t bring about fulfilling relationships, that kind of stuff puts women in the driver’s seat. You can’t allow women to drive the relationship, they weren’t made that way. It also really helps to read this if you need a fresh take in your current relationship. It’ll point out some very simple things you can do to bring the odds in your favor, while still being respectful and loving to the woman you choose.

I just finished this awesome book! The feeling of being so grateful, enlightened, and more confident about reentering my dating and love life now is amazing! I thank Dr. Glover from the bottom of my heart! His books are for any man who knows and wants the very best for himself in his life! Thanks, doc!

I've been a longtime follower of Dr. Glover and his first book, No More Mr. Nice Guy, changed and saved my life. He outdoes himself Dating Essentials For Men. His advice is not only helpful for dating but can be applied to all parts of life. He provides simple yet effective advice that is timeless. I've highlighted portions throughout the book and will be re-reading this one several times. Be sure to check out No Mr. Nice Guy, it isn't required reading but is helpful and be sure to sign up for his emails and check out his podcasts. They are great reminders to get back to building a great cake of a life.

Dr. Glover gives good non-misogynist advice to men (unlike a lot of other men who want to date/marry but hate women). However, dating advice is like dietary supplements. No one can prove or disprove their effectiveness totally. People who use them and are in good shape swear by them and then there are people who use them and aren't in good shape. It's really more about the person than the techniques. He does give some good advice and I'd recommend this book hands down over many others.

“No More Mr. Nice Guy” really helped me understand why I kept hitting dead-ends in romantic relationships, and has been a big step in my recovery as a nice guy and the self-sabotaging mental state I developed as a little boy. Every day is day one, and I never stop working at it, but the book really helped me move closer to speaking my truth and acting with integrity rather than being a people pleaser (and thus: manipulative and dishonest with my words and actions, romantic or otherwise.)“Dating Essentials” works as a complimentary text, outlining a way to be true and genuine but also seek out women to date. I had met my partner before reading this book, but will certainly take some of the techniques (getting out there and talking to people, not being afraid of rejection, seeking gratitude and abundance) with me in my life.Dr Glover isn’t trying to teach anyone pickup techniques or “game” to getting women, but he writes about developing character and moving through life with intention. He also lays out steps to meet women (or honestly, to just seek out positive opportunities in one’s life) that are practical and genuine.Basically: Everything makes sense and you wouldn’t be embarrassed sharing anything you leaned in this book with a potential partner. It’s all stuff about being a quality man. Dr Glover is great. I’m grateful to have found out about him. Keep up the good work, Doc!

While I don’t necessarily agree with all of what Dr. Glover says (“order for her” for example) I’ve been slowly applying the principles for the last 6 months and have become quite a charmer with the ladies. I would suggest starting with NMMNG first and focusing on your recovery there before starting this book and applying the concepts, it will make this so much easier! My story: prior to this I dated a couple girls over the years but never anything long term. Never really was convinced that girls found me attractive or that I was worthy of love and affection from women (Self Limiting Beliefs!) I am a nice guy but am actively working on recovery all the time through NMMNG. Recently I went from 0 dates in 1.5 years to consistently dating 2 women at the same time and having a several more first dates (and potential girlfriend) lined up, both from online and in person. In that 1.5 years I worked on myself, got a surgery that needed to be done years ago, got in better shape, focused on getting my needs met (and figuring out what those needs are!) but little old me dating 2 women at the same time is something I could have never imagined being able to do. Seriously the more you practice the more you learn what works and what doesn’t and then the more confident you become, and then rinse and repeat. I’m 30 year old male, not super tall (5’8”) balding and I’ve got some very pretty girls chasing after me now. If I can do it so can you. I personally have found a lot of success with Dr. Glovers recommendation of “Blurting” - saying what pops into your head instead of trying to filter or make it extra funny. You’re probably more funny than you think - the problem is you overthink, as did/do I! I do this now In person and over text (I vary rarely text women in between dates nowadays). The other day this girl asked me if I work with excel and I blurted out “yeah I tend to spread some sheets” in a flirty manner (innuendo) and she absolutely loved it. Now this is to say I had built a rapport with her and we were flirting so it was appropriate at the time but normally I would have tried to think about it too long and it would have come off as not confident and disingenuous. Also making the plan and confidently setting the date and then staying off the phone will put you so high in her mind. Phone is for setting dates! Multiple women have commented how much they love that I just tell them when and where to meet me and then didn’t try to keep the conversation going in between (Taking the Lead). Honestly this small thing separates you from the rest of the guys that are like “where do you want to go, what do you want to do?” And then constantly blow up her phone - resist! I plan simple, fun dates and it has worked out well for me thus far. Once you are confident, you won’t need to text her everyday for her validation that she is still interested - it has the opposite effect! How do I know? I used to be that guy! This progression is not going to happen overnight, there will be frustration, you will get “rejected” you’ll get ghosted (especially on dating sites). But don’t let this dissuade you, keep pushing keep learning and it will happen. You’ll eventually put all of the pieces together and it’ll be a smooth flight the whole way back to your house or hers. Listen, I am not a natural player, I am still learning too, I am and will always be a recovering nice guy. You’re not alone, applying the principles from NMMNG for yourself first and then going to this book will be life changing. I’m telling you, once you are able to get a woman comfortable with you and into her natural feminine energy state by being in your natural masculine energy state, it’s an amazing experience and addictive! Go on as many dates as possible initially, (12/12 rule) practice asking for numbers in person (it’s scary at first!) but 3-4 times you’ll get the hang of it and it’ll be second nature! That way when you find someone you are actually interested in you’ll have the courage to get her phone number and not be scared - I did this with one of the girls I am currently dating! My new found confidence has seeped into so many other aspects of my life as well. Growth is not linear, it’s exponential. As someone in your shoes I truly wish you the best! No such thing as failure, only feedback my friends!
