Meet Scott David Gralnick: a Beachwood, Ohio native who recently finished writing his first book, “How To Get A Girl In A ‘95 Corolla.” When asked about his book, Gralnick said, “It’s about no-gimmick tactics that men can successfully use to meet the right women; and you don’t have to have a lot of money, the best looks, or even the greatest car to do so.”

It is Scott’s life experience that led to the creation of this upbeat and insightful guide.

In 2007, Gralnick lost his mother, Ivy Renee Gralnick, with whom he was very close, to cancer. Her stern Jewish raising gave Scott the independence he needed in the real world.  If she were still alive, she would say, “Without me, there would be no book.”  She taught Scott to be a gentleman, to hold doors open, and to try and understand women.  Her views of the world mixed with Scott’s experiences with women have made him the man he is today.

Scott also credits his father, Howard Jeffery Gralnick, for providing valuable information on approaching women.  These tactics include things like: If you see a girl sitting down and you are sitting across the room, stand up, pull your chair out and walk toward her.  Then, pull the chair out next to her and sit down, and as you’re doing this, accidentally fall on the ground and then say, “I couldn’t keep my eyes off of you!”  If she laughs, you have her; if not, then you still walk away a man.  Scott’s guidance from both his mother and father have helped to give him a balanced set of worldly ways with women.

After high school, Scott went to Israel to join the military but ended up studying and traveling there for 6 months.  The seed for this book came from his friendship with two men who had a hard time talking to girls.  One of them suggested he write a book at the age of 18.

Scott left Israel and returned to the States to visit his best friend Jordan in Arizona.  The duo took a road trip to Rocky Point in Mexico, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, and California all in 9 days. By the end of the trip, Jordan convinced him to live in Arizona.  After coming back to Ohio, Scott and his father drove his ‘95 Corolla across the country to move his belongings to Arizona.  The next year of his life in Arizona was one big party with intervals of learning, which included building a two-story bar into a tree in his backyard, hiking for hours in the mountains, and taking many impromptu trips to Vegas or California. He honed in on the women of the west coast and after gaining valuable information, drove his ‘95 Corolla right back to Ohio.

People would always say, “Scott, how do you get those girls in your car?” Anyone would wonder when glimpsing his car in the parking lot with its rusty, beaten frame, dangling bumper, busted and perpetually open airbag, old bike rack on the back, and no side mirrors.  (The absent side mirrors is a story in itself about a girlfriend and a jealous, rich med school student who lost this girl to the penniless guy with the ‘95 Corolla.)  Scott’s friends continued to joke that maybe one day he’d write a book. And so, he sat down and wrote this one.
