We just had an entire thread start because @Chantfire quoted the author, and I gave him shit for it.

And as I said within the thread:

you know what's funny?

Doc Love might actually be good.

But I'll never know, because carnold's constant spamming of that book with the same copied + pasted screed every time has made me incredibly averse to giving any of Doc Love's shit a chance.

But to answer your question: I have no idea if it's worth reading. @Chantfire seems to think so.

And do you have a recommendation for how to master the talking stage?

I never really thought of anything as a "talking stage" or "talking phase". I always tried to gauge her interest level and escalate or disengage accordingly.

Over the course of my pickup/player days (2002-2004), I found that most of the time that if she didn't want to meet up within a chat session or two, she just enjoyed the attention and moved on. I also found that if she didn't fuck me within the first encounter/date or two, it wasn't going to happen and she just liked free dinners and attention.

Learn to look for signs of interest and disinterest.

Escalate, escalate, escalate.

Get out there and practice. There's no teacher like experience.

Learn from successes and failures and calibrate.
