Description |
| Ever wonder how the great flirts do it? How they manage to attract a man's attention, even in the distracting setting of a crowded bar? And then, once they've got it, how they keep him focused? The people standing behind the bar watch this game play out night after night. Now, two of the best in the business, Dushan Zaric and Jason Kosmas, are ready to spill all the secrets of the hookup game. In this groundbreaking book, they tell women everything they need to know to pick up men (the right men). A good bartender doesn't just know how to mix drinks -- he knows how to read people, too. Dushan and Jason have witnessed every kind of hookup (and screwup) you can imagine. They know who is going to send over a drink before he even thinks of it. They can tell if a man's a bully, a loser, or gay as soon as he walks in the door. Most of all, they know what women have to do to make guys want to get their number. Drawing on their own observations as well as surveys of their patrons, Dushan and Jason show women what men are really thinking and how to use that information to their advantage. They provide step-by-step advice on everything from how to approach a guy to how to tell if he's worth it, and how to make an exit if he's not. Filled with street smarts, bar lore, and, of course, delicious cocktail recipes, You Didn't Hear It from Us is ultimately about more than dating -- it's about learning how to present the best parts of yourself, thus making the world your martini glass. |

You Didn't Hear It from Us: Two Bartenders Serve Women the Truth About Men, Making an Impression, and Getting What You Want Reviews |
 Great Insider Advice Served with a Twist |
| Reviewer: M. Connelly, |
| The most important message that bartenders Zaric and Kosmas give in their book is that it is truly all about attitude. Though the theory is often preached, it's a little harder to practice when you're standing in a dark, crowded bar where first impressions are served up as often as cocktails. I found reading this book was like talking to my best girlfriends, hearing advice from a good older brother, and getting insight from potential bar-mates all at once! I'm recommending it to everybody, especially now with Spring Break season approaching. Seeing Lauren reading it on The Hills only supported the reality that the authors so often find overlooked by their patrons; everyone feels a little uncomfortable and out of place in this hook-up/bunk-up/break-up world we often find ourselves in. However, with a little positive reinforcement, insider knowledge, and a ton of hilarious anecdotes, You Didn't Hear It From Us will definitely have you smiling all the way to the bar and back! |
Single women will LOVE this book!

| This book has such great advice about grabbing a man's attention in a crowded bar or party setting. It gives you very specific tips on how to open the conversation and how to flirt in a way that really will hold his attention--the suggestions are so helpful, especially if you tend to get a little shy or intimidated by these situations. The authors also tell you how to read the subtle signals a guy is sending you that tell you more about his personality than he's actually saying, so the next morning you don't regret giving him your number (or taking him home)! I also really enjoyed all the funny stories from their customers that Jason and Dushan interspersed throughout the book. All in all, the book worked for me and I want to buy a copy for all of my friends--especially those who go home sad at the end of the night because they didn't hook up. |
the boys hooked us up!!

| Reviewer: C.D. Fisher, New York, NY |
| What a great read......its clear these two gentlemen have heard and seen it all. Buy the book and visit Employees Only (the establishment they own in the west village) and you have a killer combination . The advise to hook the man you want and the venue perfect for a date with devine food and cocktails. Why am i such a fan?? i met my man at Employees Only over a year ago so had to buy the book for sentimental reasons and everything i read made a hell of alot of sense!! GREAT XMAS GIFT FOR YOUR GIRLFRIENDS TOO!! Thanks boys for taking care of the ladiesx |
Good Info
|
| Reviewer: M. Hew, Brooklyn, NY United States |
In the never-ending battle of the sexes, it's always a good idea to enter the arena with as much information about your opponent as possible. This book gives advice to women on what to do to get men. As a guy, it helps to know what things women are looking for and how to interpret the signals they are sending. Trust me on this one, the more information you have the better equipped you are to play the game. Reading this book is like spring training. It's not the majors, but it gets you ready for the real thing. Reading this book hasn't made me any better looking but it has made me smarter and that definitely translates into more success with the opposite sex.
I'd really like to thank Dushan and Jason for giving us guys more amunition for the battle. I know that guys aren't the intended audience, but I think they will get as much out of it as women will. And it's a refreshing change from the usual garbage that's directed towards women like "He's just not that into you", which just makes us all look like jerks. |
Is This For Real?
|
| Reviewer: T. Grant, New York, NY |
| I bought this book and after the first few chapters I HAD to put it down and stop reading. This is high school advice on how to pick people up in bars.Bars are all only good for one thing: meet somebody for sex - or getting drunk.Conversation? I can have better conversation with people at work or at my gym with! We at least have something in common there. Most of the discussions in bars with other patrons are useless. You will never meet your special someone in a bar. What kind of person needs to hang out at a bar to "feel better about herself/himself?" The book goes into detail about how to go out and attract men, and all that "etiquette" in a bar. You've got to be kidding me. I might go to a bar with my friends to watch a soccer/rugby game or celebrate a promotion - not to meet men!!! The men that are hanging out there are 99% losers, if they go there to meet women. Whatever happened to quality? How about writing a book that details how to meet quality men in quality places? Advice for women on men from (male) bartenders? How do they know what women want? It takes a woman to know what other women want! I could have saved the money spent on this extremely academic and boring book. |
Even if You Miss the Guy, Use the Great Cocktail Recipes....

| Reviewer: C. Farley, Bakersfield, CA USA |
Instead! This book continues with a look at the "real" men that frequent
bars and nightclubs and describe how that "courting dance" occurs. The book has a similar difficulty as other books have on this subject--it's pretty degrading to men. But the info might be good to women who are stuck trying the bar scene to meet new men and maybe make some friends with the other people in the bar. The news to women is the same--no one will stick around to check out what a great person you are on the inside, if the outside package is unkept, unattractive--so catch on ladies and clean up and like Grandma always said--put on some lipstick!! You look like a corpse--then she would pinch my cheeck hard to bring some "color" into my face. The best part of the book are all the bartending tips. They include alcohol (by name) so you buy the best for mixed drinks, tools and tricks to improve any cocktail you're enjoying. Even if it'
s you, the cat and a great DVD. |
Great lessons for some, old news for others
|
| Reviewer: Christine S. Allen, Baltimore, MD |
| I like this book because it states over and over to be completely yourself and it doesn't matter if you are the shyest person on the planet or the most outgoing. It is also matter-of-fact and straight up tells you what men want and don't want. Men in a bar setting are after only one thing and when they get it, us women should not expect anything more. However, if you are a woman who knows how to work it and is not insecure, don't waste your time. Only read this if you are clueless, anxious, or unconfident while at a bar. My best friend and I, both frequent bar-goers and huge flirts, read this book and found only a few pages with advice that was actually new and useful. Other that those, we basically knew all the other stuff. |
You heard it for me

| Reviewer: Smiley, Seattle, WA United States |
| If you are into making drinks this would be a good book for you. Oh and you also get some tips on relationships that may or may not be helpful. |
Like selling ice to eskimos

| Reviewer: Brooklyn Logic, Brooklyn, NY |
| this book is fine, but seriously--a book on how a woman can go to bars and land a man??? the answer, ladies is in the question: go to bars--the men will most likely take it from there. (it helps if you're hot). i have an idea, to test the efficacy of this book: go to a bar--like employees only--and take a look around and note how many women (again, being attractive helps) are standing around alone and unnoticed. my guess is they have a drink in one hand and pepper spray in the other. i suppose the point of this book is to "teach" women how to "get" the man they want, but really, anyone with a modicum of social intelligence knows that women usually get the man they want (or at least deserve)--it's men who need a clue as to how to speak to/pick up women. maybe next these authors can pen a book detailing the best way for fat people to gain weight. |
