By the time I stumbled onto the Art Of Approaching, I had already been scammed a number of times in the Men’s Dating Advice market. I was bitter, angry, and ready to give up.
That’s why it was such a pleasant surprise when I found myself actually ENJOYING a book that was designed to teach me the most important skill a man can acquire – learning how to meet women.
Joseph Matthew’s and his book aren’t really as well known as the materials created by David DeAngelo, Mystery, or Neil Strauss, but in my opinion, Joseph Matthew’s is one of the best teachers for men who want to improve their success with women in the market.
Let me explain why I believe this…
The Instructor
As you might know, I place a lot of importance on the person who is actually teaching me the material. Some fraudulent “pick up gurus” like to use the excuse that it doesn’t matter who’s teaching it as long as you get results.
Well, in my experience, the guys who actually practice what they preach are the ones who can help you the most – because chances are they’ve been where you are and know how to find a solution to your problem. The fakers can’t do this.
And out of all the dating advice gurus I’ve come across, Mr. Matthews is, in my opinion, one of the most legitimate.
Mr. Matthew’s story is an incredible one. He is not a good looking guy by his own admission (I believe he claims to look like the lovechild of Tony Soprano). He’s fat, bald, ugly, and by his own admission “terrible with women.”
One of the first chapters in his book goes on to retell the painful (yet humorous) story of how he had an anxiety attack in college that lead him to the brink of suicide, but rather than kill himself, he resolved to cure his intense loneliness.
Through his teachings, you can tell Mr. Matthews is a very introspectful, honest, and heartfelt guy. He seems to have tackled every problem I’ve personally experienced, and then some – everything from low self esteem to wondering what to do with a girl now that he’s gotten her into bed.
His stories about his successes with women – some of them so attractive, he himself can’t believe he got them – are humorous AND informative.
I couldn’t help but feel like Joseph Matthews is the type of guy I could be friends with, hang out with, and learn from, all at the same time. This alone, makes his teachings far more important than most of the people I’ve come across in this market.
The Course
As its title suggests, in this excellent book Joseph Matthews has created the most complete book on approaching women written to date. As Mr. Matthew’s puts it: If you can’t approach a woman, you can’d do anything else!
Because of it’s focus on how to meet women, this is actually the best way to START learning how to pick up and seduce girls, since it focuses so heavily on that first (and some would argue hardest) step.
But what was surprising to me was that the book was actually much more than just a guide on approaching. It actually covers everything you will need to go beyond the approach and into the bedroom.
The Art of Approaching is now in its 3rd edition (Mr. Matthews seems to update the course regularly to keep it current, something which can’t be said for most other advice authors) and the latest incarnation of the Art Of Approaching goes on to explore:
- The Art of Relationship Skills
- The Art of Belief
- The Art of Body Language
- The Art of Confidence
- The Art of Approaching
- The Art of Dating
- The Art of Flirting
- The Art of Storytelling
- The Art of Being Social
- The Art of Seduction
As you can see, not a single aspect of seduction and pick up is skimped over. I found Mr. Matthew’s chapter on Confidence to be exremely insightful and helpful to me personally, since that’s something I (and Mr. Matthews) has struggled with in the past.
Another fantastic chapter in the book covers the art of flirting. Now, you wouldn’t typically think that flirting would be an important skill to learn, but the way Mr. Matthew’s explains it, if you don’t know how to flirt, you’re going to have a hard time generating attraction!
All this information rounds the book out to a very complete 342 pages.
Despite all the different subjects that are covered, the core of the course is still about approaching women. About 1/3rd of the book is devoted to this subject, and none of it seems like filler.
The book is on the longer side for most seduction e-books I have read, and this could be tough for those of you slow readers or those with short attention spans. But it is a faster read than you might think because Mr. Matthews has written in many personal stories which are both instructional and entertaining at the same time.
(This is SUCH a relief, because even good ebooks, like David DeAngelo’s Double Your Dating, can often be very dry and hard to read.)
The fact that the book illustrates so many of its principles through the eyes and experiences of Mr. Matthews himself makes it very unique among the books out there. You get to really understand the personality of the author and I think most readers will empathize with him because he shares the lows he came from when he had no skills with women and was very overweight, to how he overcame these limitations by learning the skills he teaches in the book.
A key message I got was that if Mr. Matthews himself could overcome these limitations, than anyone can by following his example.
But the book is not one dimensional despite this personal perspective, as there are many cool examples of the experiences of students that Mr. Matthews has taught, and what’s more there are many stories relating his own experiences as a student learning from some of the top ladies men in the world like Neil Straus (author of The Game), Mystery, and more.
So when you get The Art of Approaching, you are getting the combined knowledge of not only Mr. Matthews, but other masters as well. Some of what you will learn includes:
- Tons of great opener types like joke, opinion, role play, online, direct, situational, compliment openers and more
- The key questions you must ask yourself to succeed
- An extremely in depth examination of body language, both how to display it and read it
- Secret of eye contact
- Best ways and places to meet women
- The fish and hook method of meeting and seducing women
- The two types of flirting and 11 guidelines for how to flirt effectively, plus the secret weapon of innuendo
- The importance of stories and how to tell great stories
- How to develop a great social network and use it to meet tons of women
- 6 tips for how to influence people and women
- and much more…
What is really cool about all this information in the book is how Mr. Matthews ties it all together in stories of his own conquests. The final chapter of the book ties all of what you learn together in the personal story of how he seduces a beautiful model from New York and finally seals the deal when she comes to LA and visits him.
All throughout the book you get the sense that you are reading something by someone who really knows what he is talking about and has devoted a lot of time not just to learning the techniques, but the philosophy behind it all.
There are points in the book where Mr. Matthews goes back hundreds of years to explain how and why women were prized for their virginity and how that still effects their behavior presently, and also talks about how religion has shaped things in the way we think that aren’t very useful for doing well with women and should be questioned, etc.
Overall, this was the ONE book I was impressed with the most.
The Company
I also found the way Mr. Matthews does business to be quite honest and above the board.
I had no issues downloading the course after the purchase, but my friend Bill had a problem with his connection. When we contacted support – easily accessible through a “contact us” link on the front page – we got a reply within the first 12 hours from his customer support staff helping us get Bill his product.
We even went back and “pretended” we lost the course in a computer crash to see how this would be handled by the company. Customer Support immediately gave us access to the course again after supplying our order information. It’s nice to know that if anything ever got screwed up, we could still get access to the course.
Refunds were handled promptly as well. Yes, even though I did enjoy the book and thought it was great, I still asked for a refund just to test and see how it was handled. Fortuneately, The Art Of Approaching staff seems to think it’s best to give people their money back when they ask for it. Always a nice touch.
The company clearly states their terms of service and privacy policy, so should you ever want to know where the company stands, you can find out.
Over-all, the way Mr. Matthews conducts business seems to be quite professional.
The Bad
Though I do enjoy this course and this company, there are a few things that nagged me enough not to give it a full rating of 5 stars.
The first is that you get a LOT of email from Mr. Matthews, who sends out a newsletter twice daily. This can get annoying after a while, but the content of the newsletters is good and always helpful. However, after getting the course, I didn’t feel I needed all the tips and didn’t like seeing my inbox clogged up. You can, however, easily unsubscribe from the emails. But still, it’s annoying.
I also found a few type-os in the book. Nothing too bad, it still reads well and has a professional appearance, but it’s a minor annoyance of mine.
The size of the book is also worrisome, because reading such a long book on the computer can be troublesome at times. You are able to print it out for easy reading without issue, however 300+ pages is a lot of printer inc. I wish Mr. Matthews gave the option of receiving a physical book. But again, this is a minor annoyance.
The Verdict
This is a MUST have course.
During my tests, and the tests of my friends Bill and Larry who help me evaluate these courses, we got the best results from Mr. Matthew’s teachings.
Following his “Bootcamp” instructions laid out in the course, we went from meeting 1-2 girls a night to meeting 12-15. Not all the approaches went well, but they became easier than they had been in the past.
Before long, all three of us got enough confidence to start getting phone numbers of the girls we were meeting and actually getting them out on dates.
After struggling for MONTHS with other courses, this was like a breath of fresh air for all three of us. Going out to meet chicks actually became FUN once we started applying what we learned in the Art Of Approaching.
Using the lines laid out in the course will get you results, but the best results come from doing the confidence building exercises laid out by Mr. Matthews, to help you meet and date the women you desire.
I would also recommend getting the Advanced course if you can afford it. The basic course is $39.95, but the Advanced course is a bit pricey ($147). But it has a lot more supplemental material that is worth getting – including video tutorials that explain some of Mr. Matthew’s more advanced concepts.
That said, the advanced course isn’t necessary to get results. Even just getting the basic course is worth the money. But I got a lot more out of Mr. Matthew’s advanced tactics.

If you yourself aren’t getting the kind of results you want with women, and in specific if you want to improve your ability to approach them effectively, then you owe it to yourself to check out this great course.
Think you are too overweight, not good looking or rich enough? Joseph Matthews managed to learn to do well with women despite these kinds of obstacles, and tells you step by step how to do the same thing yourself. It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen faster if you get The Art of Approaching for yourself now!

My name is Jim Jones. I started this site to help other guys, like me, who have struggled with women to find the best resources to improve their love life. There are too many scam artists out there trying to steal your hard-earned money by promising you pie-in-the-sky results with no proof to back them up. Like most guys, I was suckered in by promises of “easy lays” and “fast seduction” methods. But the truth is, 90% of the courses out there DON’T WORK! And I’ve spent lots of time and money finding this out the hard way.
