I'm a kissless handholdless hugless virgin who can barely make eye contact with women other than my mother, and in general, have piss-poor social skills.
Will these books transform me into a guy who at least has a fighting chance of bedding a lass?
Does anyone have any other books to recommend me?
Note: I'm 5"6' and balding, but have a high-paying job (compared to men my age).

They might give you a couple of hints, but you'll still have to work up the courage to try them. And working up the courage is 95% of the job - if you can do that, you really don't need the hints.
That Dale Carnegie book is really good. I haven't read the others but I'd also recommend the Book of Pook, which is online and not very long. Those two are how I got a gf.

Reading books won't make you more social. Don't you see the irony in that?

Yes,well,most people acquired these skills in childhood by intuition, and if you're an adult you can't exactly approach people on kids on playgrounds if you're an adult.

I'd definitely recommend it. It doesn't give you the ultimate tools to win anyone over but it offers you the tools to socialise more effectively by pointing stuff out. At one point the book says something along the lines of "the sweetest sound anyone can hear is their own name".
For these kinds of books I'd definitely recommend looking for reviews on YouTube to see what the different reviewers focus on mentioning and if what they're saying sounds interesting then dive in and get the book yo.

I read it. The TL;DR is that people are extremely self absorbed, so just ask them about themselves and compliment them and just suck up in any way possible and hopefully they'll start to like you if you're otherwise charismatic enough.

Absolute trash.
>How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Pretty simple and straightforward book, doesn't have all that much content. Pic related is basically the whole thing, the rest are examples.
Another anon mentioned:
>Models: How To Attract Women Through Honesty
that one might actually be helpful.
Books won't do you much good if you're not willing to practice and expose yourself to uncomfortable situations. If you're unable to even try, consider psychotherapy or helping yourself with benzodiazepines to get you going.

The book can turn you into a 'nice guy.' The book's main purpose it to gain business partners, not get women. And points in the book that will help you with women are not exactly secret. More like common sense
Just skim through the pdf
Dude you honestly need to just go out and talk to real people, real women. Maybe not even talk at first, ease into it over time
