It is a "how to" for doing relationships in a different way, deconstructing the myths and misconceptions associated with the often misunderstood but vital to understand subject.

Has some great advice

I think the advice for women is particularly good. Things that most men know instinctively. We have been deceived by society that hook up culture will lead to happiness. I think hook up culture destroys men and women but women have a much lower threshold before they are ruined. Men also hit a point where it destroys their ability to properly connect with the opposite sex. I don't know if changing your ways can reset or undo the damage. I can see it helping but personally I don't think you can return to 100%. I don't believe in the born again virgin. To use the car analogy, once a car has been driven off the lot and been involved in an accident, no amount of body work will make it a new car. Not to say it's not worth fixing but it won't be the same as a new car. You may be able to hide the previous accident from the new owner. This to me is a deception and is not a great way to start anything. The author is right that the value does not rise when it has been borrowed and used and abused by many others. I think for women to wait until some serious commitment is a great strategy for girls who are a virgin or with a low body count. Girls with a higher body count or may or may not be damaged with holding from sex I find offensive to be honest. They had sex on the 1st or 2nd date with a guy they had strong attraction for and now they want to make a guy who they most likely have lower attraction for. This is particularly bad if they are trying to convince the guy that they are a brand new car on the lot.
