One-Sentence-Summary: One man’s strategy in seducing women via a fictional conversation between a seducionist and female journalist, which essentially says to value all women and their energy and not discard them when you’re done or to view the act of seducion as an art rather than a conquest.

The writing style reminds me of The Book Of Pook, a highly recommended book on seduction psychology.

Why Alibaster? Alibaster is a soft and translucent stone often used in sculptures, but Zan Perrion means for it to refer to the female essence, mystery, and purity.

“A boy looks for all the ways that he can impress a girl. A man looks for all the ways that she can impress him.” (p. 17)

The Alabaster Girl is a poetical, well-written book in a fictional style with aloof lessons in relationships. The author’s overall concept is for men to not take from a woman, but upon ending the relationship, she should be better off.

If the impression I get from the start of the book is anything like what I’ll take away from the end, it’s a lesson most men can benefit from. That is, to appreciate women for who they are. Men, including me, can get bitter about their interactions with women due to rejection. But this bitterness is wrong and seeps out in ways that women can sense, further hurting your efforts.

What I get from the book is that the author has mastered the art of talking rather than the art of seduction – to be easily confused. Silence, not knowing what to say early in the interaction, is often doom.

A third of the way in, and I understand what’s happening. Do I have permission to speak honestly?

Ok.

It’s just a different angle to get girls. It’s simply his strategy in how he goes about the seduction process. And how he does that and what he is trying to teach you is by appreciating female energy, regardless of how she looks or how old she is. There are two sections where he talks about hitting on women in their 50s (“Two shining beauties in, of, their late fifties or so, shimmering into view. And wow, they look great!“, p. 27) and a fat girl (“You trying to pick up a fat chick? She’s faaaat!“, p. 31). It’s a good strategy. But he’s taken a different approach to what I do and what all men do: we have to hide our intent. We have to learn how to talk to a little 9-year-old girl, a hot 22-year-old, the 50-year-old mother, and 75-year-old grandmother as if we have no intention. I think this is what the author has mastered. By default, or by force, his standards of physical beauty are low.

He’d be a great wingman.
