Dating

[Evan]

I hear the CD set "Interviews With Dating Gurus" is good instruction as well as "Double Your Dating"

I've tried both and they've worked fucking great for me and at least two other guys I know. However, I've found that it doesn't work for everybody.

It works best for people who are naturally a bit of a smart ass but more importantly you've got to put actual effort into working on your game. The people I've introduced to it that didn't get it working were the ones that didn't really try.

All in all it's just one of many ways to skin a cat. If you're a reasonably perceptive guy you've probably figured out a lot of the stuff on your own but for me it brought a lot of ideas together into a framework I could work with. I'd have to say watching the DVD series (which I downloaded via bittorent) was the biggest single boost to my game.

The thing I like most about it is that it doesn't rely on a lot of canned lines, it's more about coming up with stuff to say on the fly. Canned lines will eventually get played out or shot down but when you can do something original that's when you can really do some damage.

Double Your Dating summed up in one sentence:
Be confident, be a man, dont be a pussy.

Its effective and it works, as long as you dont get bogged down in the details, and apply the theories to your personality, instead of trying to akwardly fit your personality to the theories.

I also found the series to be a very interesting study of human behavior and psychology. Its not a collection of pickup lines, there is some very solid material presented in it.

the "interviews" are very hit or miss as far as gleaning educational content from them, and mostly just for entertainment value.

(I think Alan is just being a smartass because I probably left the DYD CDs in the car he just bought from me)
