The System Book

Truly an embarrassment. Apocryphal in its corniness. The earliest--but some of the worst--advice in this genre of self-improvement. Its so dated as to be largely unusable today. Much of what Jeffries offers here has become cliche; fodder for punchlines in comedy routines.

Its rife with hoary old gender-biases; personal insecurity; and misogyny; and for the most part impractical. Way back when, Jeffries became a kind of caricature of himself--the epitome of the guy who would go to any Rube Goldberg length to get laid. His exploits don't make any kind of 'system' for today's males, however. Better to regard this book as a warning --a cautionary tale indicating what might happen to you if you throw all your energy into being a slimy lounge-lizard like this guy.

He is still out there, FYI. Now that dating guides have exploded into a multi-million dollar business he blows a lot of hot air about somehow being owed something. All he deserves though is..a raspberry. Just because someone is 'ahead of their time' doesn't mean they always got it right. Lots of people tried to fly before the Wright Brothers. Jeffries is a footnote in history; his techniques are interesting only for the 'completist' who wants to know where dating-manuals all began.

But actually reading his how-to-get-laid book is only justified by the amusement you will get out of it.
