The Dating Skills Review Blog

Dating coaching can cost you big bucks these days. Fortunately, the reported results and success that students attribute to it can be spectacular too. A few thousand dollars doesn't seem like much when it transforms your dating life and makes you happy. However, it really sucks spending that money when you don't get those results.

Every guy looking to buy a particular dating coaching bootcamp must ask himself this question:

"Will it be good value for my investment of time and money?

We delved into the Dating Skills Review database to get some insights into this question. The results come from 133 dating coaching services and 198 user reviews of them.

One of the funny things about dating advice for men, is that it can be so so different. That is confusing, and unhelpful to those that want to use it.

I’m going to bring some light as to why this is. Afterwards you will be able to make more informed decisions about the dating advice that you are using. You will understand why dating advice can be alarmingly different and completely contradictory when you compare one with the other.

The first thing to understand, is that dating advice for men doesn’t all come from the same types of people or groups of people in society. Let’s call these communities. It comes from a few extremely different communities of people (coaches in some form or another). These communities have very unique and often conflicting belief and value systems. This is where the differences in the advice originate from.

The four communities from which dating coaches have come are Self Development, Spirituality, Traditional Dating/ Love Coaching and the Pick-Up Artist/ Seduction Community.

Dating coaching can be many things. This article cuts through the blur of the coaching services offered by dating coaches to give you a clear understanding of what each of the formats, what they are generally composed of and their uses.

There are literally hundreds of names and terms used, but don’t let that fool you. Dating coaching isn’t so complicated. Before we introduce you to the six ‘coaching types’ you have to choose from, there’s an important distinction to make.

A debate has been going on for a long time in "dating advice for men" circles: when talking to women, should you use a direct method (just tell her you like her and take it from there) or an indirect way (just ask a neutral question and tell stories first)?

Is it better to be natural, focus on having fun and attract her with your cool vibe? (the way suggested by Real Social Dynamics, Paul Janka, Vin DiCarlo, Zan Perrion, Charisma Arts, etc)

Or should you have a strict game plan to follow and strategize every step of the way? (the way suggested by Love Systems, Venusian Arts, Mehow, etc)

At DatingSkillsReview.com, we have an informed opinion on the matter, because we have reviewed a lot of the products out there (and have been in the game for years ourselves). We believe some key facts have been missing from the debate so far.

First, you need to separate the effectiveness in learning from the effectiveness in applying the advice.
