Read the book titled "The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene

Just wanted to add my agreement. I picked up this book on Friday and read part of it this weekend. So far it is excellent. The author studied famous seductionists from history (Casanova, Don Juan, Maquis de Sade, etc) and distilled out principles of seduction from what they did. Awesome book.

This guy's other book is also worth reading. Look for "48 Laws of Power." Probably a good twin buy.

I thought Marquis de Sade (or whatever) was fictitious (I mean made up.) Don Juan is also made up just like Sherlock Holmes and James Bond.

Casanova was a bisexual (nothing wrong with that but if you consider how many men want to be Casanova; that's alarming.)

I saw it at Barnes and Noble recently and thumbed through it. I thought it looked like a good book but wasn't really sure. Thanks for sharing with us that its a must read.

I've read the "Art of Seduction" over Christmas in England.

The only problem I had with the book is that it relied on a lot of historical (and often fictional people). I am convinced that the historical context is what made a lot of the seducers possible.

Remember, that Casanova, Don Juan and so on lived in a time where a lot of marriages were arranged and a lot of the women were surpressed and were married to passionless men in a class conscious, overly ritualized society.

The seducers just made the woman respond emotionally, created adventure and usually got them. It almost appears that the married women were easier to seduce.

In the real world today where woman have a hell of a lot more power and choice makes dating and seducing a *lot* more difficult.

Why Casanova was so good is that he was able to find out what a particular lady really wanted (what was missing in her life), and he would then fill that missing piece. I would love to be able to have that skill of finding out what a particular woman wants. If I could do that, I would be miles ahead of the game.

As for Casanova being bisexual, that's a misconception. The guy was straight as hell. Read his memoirs. I've read his memoirs twice and there's no instance in which he mentions being with men or being attracted to men. Casanova was truly a larger-than-life man. Among his accomplishments: besides speaking his native language (Italian), he also knew French and Latin; he was a skilled fencer (a skill which saved his life more than once in his adventurous and dangerous life); he escaped from prison in one of the most amazing escapes ever (think of the Count of Monte Cristo); moreover, he had the confidence of a gutsy and fearless man like James Bond. I highly recommend the memoirs to all aspiring Don Juans.

Where can I find the memoirs at?

Also, if he's straight, then why is he Bi? Doesn't make sense. He's either straight or he's not.

As I already pointed out, Casanova was straight, not bisexual. Read the memoirs as well as biographies of Casanova written by other authors. If you want to read the Memoirs, I suggest you go to the main public library in your city and look them up. I read the translation by Arthur Machen (I think that's his name), but there's a new translation that you can find in bookstores or some public libraries (very expensive because it contains about 7 volumes). Look up the memoirs under "Casanova, Giacomo" or simply under "Casanova". You won't be disappointed. I don't know where you heard Casanova was bisexual, but in my reading of his own memoirs and several biographies about him, there's no evidence that he was attracted to men at all. Have fun reading.
