Customer Reviews

Fun, exciting and useful
I didn't know if I would like this book or not when I first saw it. I didn't want to read a book that was a Cosmo-get 'em in bed book. This was a pleasant surprise. Since Irresistible Attraction, I've read other books by Kevin Hogan but this remains my favorite for a lot of reasons.

Every page is filled with fun, respect for women, lots of well researched information about relationships and sometimes a tongue in cheek atttitude that is very fun!

Hogan and LaBay share fascinating research about body language and non-verbal communication. I learned so much about body language I feel I could be a commentator on television. Some of the more interesting facts I discovered included:

1)When meeting someone you are likely to start off on the right foot if you keep that person to your right side. The research behind this was truly amazing and once you learn this, you wonder why no one ever figured it out before.
2) The first impression really is important and in fact you should try to make a great impression on everyone you meet.
3) People with different colored eyes expect to be looked at in different ways and for different lengths of time.
4) People should dress themselves with colors that match their eyes for a great impression.
5) Men and women's body weight influences how people perceive their personality. I thought people would like you for who they are and they do but people assign better characteristics to you if you are thinner!
6) Women are deeper and more complex beings than men! (I knew that all the time.)
7) Physical appearance is far more important to men than women.
8) Clothing styles help you state who you are and helps other people see you for what you are stating.
9) In the first few seconds of meeting someone, everything matters alot and carries over into the relationship.
10) First impressions are difficult to change.
11) There are lots of specific cues and clues that makes us more and less attractive to others.

This book is like a Bible for making it easy for people to love you.

I also agree with the other reviewers that sometimes the book veers off of the interpersonal dimension into the business dimension, but even that works.

This book is fun, exciting and really useful!

Irresistable Attraction goes from attraction to relationship
Irresistible Attraction is a book about attraction done correctly.
The book starts off (or should I say, the author starts off) poking fun at himself, revealing what we all believed to be true but never were sure....that men think about sex, most of the time...maybe all the time...and women actually have interests beyond this!
Then we are taken on an easy to understand tour deforce of what men and women find attractive in each other based on research from various studies all around the world and evolutionary psychology.
Next up, and, what I found to be the most interesting part of the book were the chapters about body language.
The very notion that you can enhance and improve how people feel about you simply by how and where you sit, how and when you gesture, and amazingly simple things that aren't all as intuitive as you might think, was truly fascinating. These three chapters made the book for me.
I was even more surprised to see such a detailed and thoughtful account of just how to build and safeguard a long term relationship. It really didn't need to be in the book, because the book IS about attraction but I thought it was really helpful.
I'm young and maybe sometime soon, I will be able to use that chapter!!!
Irresistible Attraction is a really well written book, it blends well what I've learned in college with real life experience and I can't help but give it five stars.
(Hint: Every guy should read this book BEFORE they call the girl.)

Irresistible read.
This book was recommended to me by Amazon; after reading a few comments I was curious as to way this book got such high marks. I've read quite a few books on attraction, and I have to say this book does a great job of synthesizing a lot of the information your likely to come across. I had the luck of just finishing The Evolution of Desire by David Buss, which happens to be in the bibliography. I saw key elements of Buss' book simplified for easier reading. I have no doubt that Irresistible Attraction simplifies other sources in the same manner. The book, though not original contains a lot of useful information about attraction and personal magnetism.
