I love reading pick up and seduction manuals… most of them make me laugh. Seriously, I think 3rd graders could do a better job writing most of these books.

I really feel sorry for the guys that buy them… well… at least the ones that suck…

Most are based on canned lines and bullshit that you’ll never really get an opportunity to use. And… if you do… you might end up getting slapped.

But that’s another story…

No what I really want to talk to you about is a book I’ve read called The Art of Approaching by Joseph Matthews. Of course, we are led to assume that Joseph (aka Thundercat) is a master pick up artist that used to look like shit… but has now mastered his destiny and dates all the hot women…

True… false…

Who knows the truth… all I know is what I read, right?

A little back story:

About 3 weeks ago, my friend Rich came up to me and started asking me what I thought about “pick up artists” and if I thought it was possible to become one. You see, for most of the people that I know that are great with women (including myself), it was nothing more than a “finding” process. I know a few “naturals”… or guys that most would consider naturals… but in reality… they sucked at pulling women too at the beginning…

So, yes… I told him that I did think that you can learn this set of skills… and I told him that it really isn’t that hard either.

He showed me this book, The Art of Approaching, and asked me to give it a look over… you know… to see if he had wasted his money.

I laughed when I read the title… this is really the area that most men feel the most insecure. I get questions about this type of thing very often… from both men and women.

(Heck, I had a woman open me up this weekend by saying, “Hey, you seem like a cool guy… and I need some help. Do you see that guy over there? I think he’s hot but I don’t know what to say to him.” Little did she know, but that was probably one of the best icebreakers I’ve seen in a while… and she wasn’t even trying. Needless to say, she’s coming out with me for drinks tomorrow night… lol)

Ok, back on the ranch… we we’re talking about opening up people… more specifically women.

Well, I got home that night and purchased The Art of Approaching to see what it was all about… after all, it’s always good to “polish up” on your skills, right?

But:

• Did I learn anything new?
• Is the Art of Approaching suitable for beginners, intermediate, or advanced pick up?
• And finally, is the damn thing even worth it?

I must say… The Art of Approaching can be quite a beast once you get into it… the book is over 340 pages long.

Of those 340… the first one third focuses mainly on “inner game” or confidence…

I really can’t disagree here… you can’t effectively talk to women if you aren’t “feeling it”… you know.

But, unfortunately, reading about “inner game” doesn’t give it to you… you have to go get it… and that’s okay. It comes with practice.

No, the real gold in The Art of Approaching comes from the actual nuggets that Joseph drops on you when we actually start the approach process.

I like his style.

But, for me, the “graduation” point was reading about “Zan”… as in Zan Perrion… the guy with 4-6 girlfriends… that all hang out together… and his personal philosophy of meeting and attracting women.

DEEP STUFF HERE, MY FRIEND.

I’d buy the thing all over again just for this ONE SECTION…

Anyway, I don’t want to get too long winded, but the Art of Approaching should have a spot on your computer. There are two versions, the basic and the advanced… go for whichever you prefer… but the advanced has some video lessons attached to it… very cool for you visual learners.

The Art Of Approaching

Let me admit something to you very quickly (I talk about this in great detail in the Dating Doctrine audio program)… Double Your Dating was my first plight into the world of sex and seduction.

Quite frankly, I had just broken up with a woman and really wanted to get my game back on track.

I found the book through a Tickle survey and figured “What the hell… it’s only 19 bucks”.

What I found was absolutely hilarious (download the Dating Doctrine for my “official” response… lol).

But I digress, back to the story at hand.

You see, I later found out that the Double Your Dating program by David DeAngelo (not his real name, ha, ha) just might be the most heavily marketed seduction manual online right now.

But, if you’ve read Rich Dad, Poor Dad… you’ll know that best selling doesn’t necessarily mean best written… or even “best”.

Hell, it doesn’t even mean that it’ll even work for you…

Here’s why… in the offline world… much of what you buy is referral based. You like a product… you tell Chuck that you like it… sounds good to Chuck… he goes and buys it.

Online… it’s a little bit of a different story… most of the time… you are on your own to conduct research and surf the scam sites for info… even though most of the info is probably bad.

So, you are pretty much at the whim of the money back guarantee of the product developer…

This is why I take so much time when I review products… so… when I say something is on the money… you can feel extremely comfortable that it’ll work for you…

Of course, if you haven’t figured it out by now… I’ll save you the suspense:

“You know I don’t post the reviews of products that I DON’T like… mainly… because I don’t want their brands in anyway associated with any of my sites. Most of these types of products FEED on controversy and… since this is a blog… people can FLAME up the posts and spark a conversation about the product… and create FREE marketing at MY EXPENSE. Sucks right…”

I like the Double Your Dating program… but for reasons that some might not agree with.

David focuses on his “Cocky/Funny” routine a lot… but that’s not the main focus on this book. No, quite frankly, the main focus revolves around “inner game” or confidence. In fact, all the C/F routine does is help build confidence in interacting with women.

I would recommend this program to just about anyone… mainly because it goes through a lot of the fundamentals of the pick up and dating. You can’t learn about patterns and some of the other more advanced NLP type techniques if you don’t understand the basics.

Nor can you get jiggy (I couldn’t resist) in developing a nasty social circle without the basics either…

Not to say that the Double Your Dating program is “basic” by any means…

But, for 19 fungolas… this manual is very hard to pass up. You’ll be using these techniques quickly and the difference in your “game” will be noticeable.

The best part though… is that you can take these techniques and morph them into your own… which is good. I’m gonna say this… there are a lot of seduction/hypnosis/pull-chicks-out-of-thin-air materials out there… and most of them work to a certain degree…

… and everyone thinks that they are the best and that their ways work better than anyone elses…

I have to confess… I’ll seen so many different approaches work. The common arena though, is that each of these people has become comfortable with an approach that fits them… and they have made it their own.

Double Your Dating has the fundamentals and the flexibility to allow this. When you read through it the first time… don’t try to judge the material… just look at the under lying basics first.

You might not necessarily agree with the C/F mantra… no big deal… I will say that you probably should include some of this in your “game”, though.

Most importantly… this book teaches storytelling and the importance of being fun and funny.

THESE ARE IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS… seriously… if you need help in these areas, you should probably pick this book up.

Hell, even if you don’t need help in these areas, it’s a very refreshing read and always helps to put things into perspective again.

Just go through this link to get started…

Check out this video of David in action… where he talks about some of his more “advanced” material…

Picture this:

6 hours with the author of “How To Get A Girlfriend”… one-on-one… no holds barred.

Now, you might wonder why I’m even telling you about this… instead of telling you to invest in any products that I have coming out…

… and here’s why.

I firmly believe in getting information from a great deal of sources… because some people might resonate a little better with you. Plus, I myself read EVERYONE’S material… because I always pick up something new… or see something that I might not have thought about otherwise.

And so should you.

So here’s the deal, straight from the horse’s mouth…

(Oh, and if you want to pick up Stephen’s book, How To Get A Girlfriend FIRST… before you think about this program… or if your looking for another great resource to add to your collection… I highly recommend it. I’m actually working on the review page as we speak…)

Stay tuned.

‘I have a boyfriend’

It’s like catching a 2 by 4 between the eyes… because… most people think that there isn’t much that they can do about it.

Enter Joseph Matthews (a.k.a. Thundercat):

According to Joseph… not only is it POSSIBLE… but if you follow his exact steps… and the woman even remotely open to it… it’s PROBABLE that you’ll steal her right from under the nose of her unsuspecting boyfriend, fiance, or even husband…

But are they dirty tricks…

Hell no.

All you have to do is become the “bigger, better, option”… and give her everything that he isn’t giving her.

Fellas, let me tell you… it’s not hard to do… most men start to take their women for granted… start treating them differently, etc.

They also stop BEING FUN…

I have to confess, if you’re the adventurous type… you’ll be surprised how many of these women will be amiable to your advances…

… as long as they are controlled.

If you’re looking for the step by step guide to ripping a woman away from her unsuspecting boyfriend… you can get it FOR FREE…

That’s right… it comes as a bonus… when you invest in Joseph’s Art Of Approaching… which just might be one of the best pick up manuals out there right now.

But… here’s the important question that you need to ask yourself… if you can take her away from him… what’s keeping someone else from taking her away from you.

I don’t care how “smooth” you think you are… there are a lot of “smooth” guys out there…

My advice: Don’t Bother…
