You have never seen a book like this before. No such book exists, and I felt, from my unique perspective with many colorful experiences, it was my duty to create it. I hope this book helps young men to make good choices and stay safe.

The nightclub and house party scene is not only dangerous, but incredibly toxic. Many women are mentally unbalanced, some very much so. I have suffered many hard lessons over the years and experienced my fair share of trauma as a result. By sharing my stories, I'm hoping you may be able to avoid poor decisions I've made in the past.

Dating was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had, and I try to maintain a lighthearted and jovial tone as best I can, but sometimes this book gets rather deep, dark, or downright brutal. I apologize in advance for that.

These words are not intended for the "bad boys" or wannabe badasses. This is just how it is. I want you always to conduct yourself like a true gentleman, as us old skool gangsters do. Women are to be respected and protected, without fail...and sometimes there's a price to pay for preventing others from crossing that line, which you must understand and accept. You never cross that line either.

Many years ago, I did peruse several books popular within the "pickup artist" community, and while they did offer a few tidbits of useful information, their tone and overall message were incompatible with my personal code of ethics, which focuses on authenticity. Those books seemed to be all about manipulation and pretending to be something you're not, with the goal being to bang as many women as possible. Perhaps some of you share that goal, in which case I'd steer you in that direction rather than advising you to listen to my book which is quite different.

Anyhow, expect some rough patches. If you are at all familiar with my prior books, you know I don't filter much, and you will hear a few things which upset or offend you. For example, I make frequent use of profanity and actually tend to insult the listener on occasion. I will piss you off and hurt your feelings, but you will learn a great deal if you can buckle up and withstand the heat. I never pretended to be a nice person, and I'm certainly not yer buddy...but I will never lie to you or attempt to sell you anything other than this book you see before you.

This is not an easy book to hear. It is certainly not set up like a textbook with easy reference points and a simple step-by-step system. Nope, it's all over the place, because life is complicated, and I have a lot to say here. I occasionally switch topics abruptly to segue into a related story or readdress something I already covered from a new perspective which may seem to contradict what I said previously, usually when addressing an exception to the rules. I run the gambit, from covering the fundamentals in great detail, to delving into advanced topics rarely addressed elsewhere. This is intended as an exhaustive overview of every aspect of the topic of dating in a modern urban environment, and it can save your life.
