SCOTT, KENNETH. Take Action!: How To Meet Women and Get Dates. Personal Development Pub. Dec. 2004. c.144p. ISBN 0-9755914-0-1. $19.95. SELF-HELP
Gentlemen, uncap your highlighters! [On the other end of the spectrum is the considerably less slick] Scott, a Houston attorney who advises men on the basics. With boyish exuberance, he demonstrates that getting a gaggle of dates is easier than pie. Chapters offer rudimentary how-to on being attractive (dress well, get in shape), ice breakers, sample compliments, and whom to approach (any woman you find attractive) and whom to avoid (women with rings). Scott’s bluntness is sometimes unintentionally funny, e.g., the two-page chapter titled “Get Near Her” literally details the physical approach, much like a playbook for a caveman. Unrefined as it is, Scott’s encouraging, reassuring work has homegrown charm and is an optional purchase for larger collections.
