What is a Routine and When to Use?

The purpose of a routine is to take the pressure off you to come up with something to say. The idea is that the routines contained in this manual are tried and tested, and are effective. So you don't have to worry about the content. Which enables you to relax more and focus more on the important things when approaching, attracting and seducing women.

Generally beginners to intermediates use pre-scripted routines the most. After this stage guys will either create their own routines, from natural things they have said that worked well when talking to women in the past or they'll completely drop routines and just improvized naturally.

So using other people's routines, such as the routines in this manual from Love Systems' coaches is usually used for 'training wheel' purposes. To get you up and running until you can do it yourself.

Good Buy on its Own

There is good information at the start of each section that explains how the routines fit into the Love Systems system and how each stage works. These introductions are enough to give you a good idea on how and when to use the routines. The explanatory information on physical progression was particularly useful.

Your understanding would certainly be improved by reading the Magic Bullets Handbook, but it isn't necessary.

A fair number of routines from Routines Manual I are referenced throughout the book. It kind of assumes you bought the first one. But if you haven't it isn't a show stopper. This manual is still completely usable without the first one.

Breathing Reality into The Love Systems Model

By learning and experimenting in the field with these routines you will get a much better feel for what you are doing. The specific objectives of the routines are given to you, which will help you to know when you should apply them.

An example of where Love Systems did this really well is where they worked 'compliance tests' into the routines and calibrating to the woman. Calibration, understanding the signals from the woman, can be a difficult thing to master for some guys. Some of the routines in this manual will make this really concrete and allow guys to understand exactly when a girl is in one state of mind or another.

Once you have got comfortable with these routines, you should be able to create your own routines, having understood to a finer level of detail what you are trying to accomplish. Or better, once you have mastered these, you may be able to improvise more naturally.

In some areas I'd say the routines were actually just good for teaching you what is appropriate. For example, there were many good examples oif qualification. This will help guys to visualize and see exactly what is meant by qualification. It will help you to see what is necessary and think a long the right lines when qualifying. You should be able to come up with your own qualifications easier on the spot as a result.

But Just How Good are the Routines?

The section on Logistical Progression was really really light. There were just two routines. Getting the logistics right is where a lot of guys fail and get a sticking point so I'm surprised it was so light. There was a big opportunity missed here to provide a lot of value with routines to help guys know how to suggest to move places, bounce to a new venue, move the girl back to her place etc.

Some of the best sections were Physical Progression and Indirect Openers. Indirect openers were really well thought out in some cases with subtle indications of positive traits built in to them, so that you would be communicating good things about you and opening the girl at the same time. This is where the sophistication in the routines pays off - because Love Systems has taken the time to embed some subtle positive communication about your character into what are also 'simple' and relatively short routines.

Some guys will find the answers for typical questions routines very helpful. For example, when a girl asks you "Why did you break up?" with your last girlfriend. There could have been much more of this - I'd even say that someone should bring out a "Responses to Typical Questions" routines manual. It would be very useful, particularly since many guys get nervous about some types of questions - so it is a pain spot for them.

Some of the routines in the manual are based off very old lines that have been used in the seduction community for a while. You may have seen some of them before, this is only about 5% of the routines though, and they have innovated on some aspects or improved on them where this is the case.

Criticisms on Relevance of Some Routines

First, many of the routines are 'american culture' based. I've personally spent a fair amount of time in the U.S., had many american flatmates, studied with Americans and have many American friends. Despite this there were many times when I found myself googling something to understand what it meant. And at other times, whilst I got the general meaning, I could see that it wouldn't 'fly' in the field outside of the U.S.

For a routine to work, a girl has to be able to understand it easily. Especially at early stages when you approach her first, or within the first 10 or so minutes before you start getting more comfortable with each other. Some examples are "sweater swaps", "lightning questions", a reference to jeopardy "I'll take irrelevant shit for a thousand, Alex.", "Hazing" (apparently a pretty common term in college fraternities in U.S.).

So, if you approach non-U.S. originating girls or you live outside the U.S. then some of the routines will need modifying to be effective - they'll need to be aculturized to wherever you are. For some of them it will be easy, others not.

Some of the routines were pretty complex and long. Given that routines are really useful as training wheels, I would have put more straightfroward and simple routines in this manual rather than complex ones. The complexity wasn't necessary, and beginners would get more mileage out of them and find them easier to implement.

Finally, some routines are dependent on the situation and the state of mind of the girl. For example, one routine is for girls that go to the gym to workout. So, you wouldn't be able to use them all the time. This final issue isn't that frequent in the manual, just a few times.

The takeaway: With a little more thought Love Systems could have ensured that all the routines in this manual were a lot more broadly applicable for students.

The Bottom Line

This isn't a product for advanced guys, it is for beginners or intermediates who like to use routines and want more ideas. I feel it is a bit pricy, unless you are going to use it to get more 'clarity' in your understanding of pick up and / or the Love Systems approach to meeting women.

The topic "How to dress for your identity" is covered briefly and "When and what to change in your life to be your best self" not in much depth. If you are interested in buying the product for these points in particular, keep that in mind.

Lack of Structure and Informality Waste Time

In some interviews from Love Systems this isn't a problem, but given that it was ambitious to cover the subject well already in a short time, this lack of structure and informality further limits the value delivered in the interview.

The only part which really attempted to introduce some structure for someone to easily follow was a piece on how to develop your 'Grounding Routine'. This is what you communicate to women to establish your identity with them. The "Grounding Routine" is one of Mystery's original innovations, and it was disappointingly not discussed in great detail here.

Good Foundation on What Building an Identity is All About

Coaches Conveying the Right Attitude

The Bottom Line

If you have a serious interest in learning "inner game and confidence" and more about identity, Real Social Dynamic's The Blueprint Decoded is the most comprehensive product. Vin DiCarlo's The Attraction Code gives a good introduction into it for beginners. In the case of The Attraction Code, since it is an ebook, keep in mind that it is has the disadvantage of you reading and not hearing (as with this product) or seeing full video (as with The Blueprint Decoded) to understand the subleties of inner game which are conveyed well by the coaches.

What You Really Get

The content is focused on recovering from mistakes you've made. So they describe the typical mistakes, and how they come about. They do talk a bit about how to pre-empt mistakes so they don't come up in the first place, but primarily the discussion is on how to recover from mistakes.

Good Solid Practical and Effective Advice

A lot of the advice has been well tested and represents popular approaches used by the majority of dating coaches to handle these issues. So it isn't all that innovative. If you've read a lot of dating advice don't expect too much new stuff, except for a few nuggets of gold. The value in this interview is that they've taken the best approaches to 'damage controlling' and packaged them into one short interview for you.

Don't Expect Too Much from Advice on Flaking

For better flaking advice, that covers the important pre-empting part The Ultimate Guide to Text and Phone Game is currently the best product we've looked at.

More Structure Would Have Made it a Better Product

The Bottom Line

It will save you getting frustrated - it is a little pricy, but since it can provide you relief from that frustration - it's really a "no-brainer".

The Attraction Code is Vin DiCarlo's starting product that does a good job of easing beginners into the basics of becoming successful with women. The product reviewed here, Vin DiCarlo's Dominant Sexual Power, builds up on The Attraction Code and contains the complete and more advanced explanation of DiCarlo's method.

Dominant Sexual Power is a general product that helps you to develop your inner game and confidence primarily. This is Vin DiCarlo's "trademark". His approach to dating women is 90% based on 'inner game & confidence'.

The product is suitable for guys wanting to improve their relationships and work on their relationships skills, as a lot of the advice is best applied in this context. Dominant Sexual Power also has lots of tips on attracting women throughout the program.

The Core of the Product

Throughout the 12 weeks that follow, you receive 'video coaching' episodes featuring Vin DiCarlo. Each is of between 30 minutes and 1 hour long. In these he gives you tips on implementing the four concepts and answers some questions from users of the course.

What is New?

Vin DiCarlo has made advice on the concept of "Compliance" a part of most of his products. You'll find some basic material on it in "The Attraction Code". In Dominant Sexual Power he provides you with a lot more depth and details on how to get compliance, and its purpose in relationships with women. For those of you familiar with the concept it will help you to understand it more fully, relate it to practical actions you can take, and apply it more in your life.

"Shaping" contains a lot of new and very useful advice on how to shape your relationships with women and make them more healthy. The principle is to eliminate or minimize negative behaviors and emphasize a woman's positive behaviors in your relationships. This is without a doubt the most useful part of the course and even guys at an advanced level will learn new things. In fact, the section on "Shaping" is not so relevant for beginners, because it is more sophisticated.

As with many products, there is also a fair amount of content that you will have seen in other mainstream dating company products if you have used them. The concepts are named differently, or explained differently, but remain the same.

The section on "sexual tension" has a lot of mainstream advice. It contains a lot of the basic principles on attracting women, that have originated from companies such as Venusian Arts, Love Systems and Real Social Dynamics.

The section on "Vision" mostly contains advice that you may have seen in "Become Mr. Right" or "The Blueprint Decoded" and originates from the works written by David Deida with "Way of the Superior Man".

Sophisticated - Not for the Complete Beginner

This won't be easy, and will take thought and 'homework' and practice before it becomes more natural for you.

If you are a beginner, it is not that you won't find a lot of useful tips in this program. You will get a lot of value from applying advice and tips that you find in each section of the program, but to apply the whole method together will be overwhelming for you. If you aren't already doing well with women, then you won't get the full value from the program.

You will have to become proficient with dating skills in general and confident with each of the four concepts before you get the full value.

The upside of this is that applying the advice in the program could keep you busy for a long time. You'll get a lost of mileage out of it, and your 'game' will get better as you implement the concepts into your life in increasingly sophisticated ways.

Strangely enough, the title of the product is "Dominant Sexual Power" implying that it will teach you to become better at sex with women on some level. However, I feel that if you don't already have good sexual skills in particular, you won't get this method to work for you. The requirement of getting the results that the course promises is that you are having good sex with your woman, and because she values this part of the relationship you will get the other benefits the program promises.

Most Valuable in the Context of Relationships

For example, if you are looking to learn something that will help you when you go out to a bar to meet and attract a new girl into your life, this isn't the product best suited to that.

The strength of the product is in consistent use of the advice in your relationships to improve their quality and get them moving in a direction that is supportive of your lifestyle, goals and aspirations for women. In this, I think that it can help you to 'really excel'.

Weaker Points

1. - Section on Sexual Tension: This section was basically about creating tension with women, which is mainstream advice that you'll find in most products. Most of the advice was good, but there was some that I felt was added in to make it sound more 'innovative', but really just made it a little confusing for the listener. There were a couple of points and examples given by one of Vin DiCarlo's trainers in the core audio program that were at best confusing and in my opinion wrong.
   


2. - Advice on Sex: Whilst "Sex" features in the name "Dominant Sexual Power" and the marketing ("Sex" is the first word on the product home page) there is little to no advice on sex itself. This could be said to be a little misleading. In the course they offer some very brief advice on aspects of sex. Its brevity and the lack of focus makes it not very useful. For example, on the subject of increasing your 'sexual libido and drive' some advice is offered, but it isn't well researched or communicated. Skip over the advice on increasing your testosterone in particular (too brief, some of it wrong).
   


3. - Complexity Becoming Awkward: This is a very sophisticated product in its aspirations. It aims to take you to a level where you're applying specific patterns and sequences of the skills taught to create more impact. This is great and as said before gives the product more mileage, for you to get value from it. But... at times the complexity is unnecessarily pushed to unbeneficial levels, even for advanced guys. For example, in Week 10 of the video coaching Vin DiCarlo provides advice on creating 'advanced sexual tension' which was just adding details that make it more difficult to implement and really would make no or little difference. You can skip it.
   

The Bottom Line

The Ideal User: If you are at an advanced level and you want to take your relationships and lifestyle with women to the next level, there is excellent advice in this product to help you do that. I highly recommend it in this case.

If you are a beginner or you have yet to develop reasonable skills in the bedroom (sexual skills), in approaching and attracting women then hold off on getting this product. You won't get most of the value from it unless you have a foundation of these skills. See the rankings of approaching women, attracting women or sexual skills for relevant products to help you with these.

You get a CD audio and an ebook with the program. The CD audio is basically the book being read out by David Shade - which is fine as some people prefer to listen and learn than read. To be clear though, exactly the same content is on the CD and the ebook.

All About Techniques - The Good and The Bad

For 85% or more of guys this is advanced material. You need to focus on getting the basics right, before you start using specific techniques, rather than pure 'love making' and sex in your relationships. If you haven't got those foundations in place and an existing healthy sex life, this course could warp your approach to sex and make it unnatural. That is something to keep in mind.

The techniques do work for the most part. And can be very powerful. There are a few instances of some I've had less success with and found a little awkward personally. But on the whole, these techniques have added a lot to my sexual life and the pleasure and orgasmic experience of my girlfriends. It walks the talk, and the techniques are a lot more practical than any of those in the standard sex books you find in bookstores.

Keep in mind that every girl is different and some of these techniques will be less effective or not at all on some women. It could be pretty confusing for a guy and lead him to get frustrated, thinking he isn't doing it right, and give up entirely if a technique is not working for him. Or think a technique 'doesn't work' when it is just a matter of a bad fit with their current partner. Readers should keep this in mind while learning from this product. David Shade brings this up, but should have discussed the ins and outs of it more to help his readers with the implementation of his advice.

Good Healthy Mental Attitudes to Sex and Your Woman Overall

For example, he explains how women want you to respect them differently outside and inside of the bedroom. He goes into a lot of detail on this point, describing how a woman needs you to respect that she is a sexual creature and respecting her means letting her feel comfortable being sexual, showing that you respect her inner desires and are not judgmental about them. Most importantly 'respecting' her, means giving her the sexual experiences she desires and so on. The content on this reflects basic mindsets that every guy needs if he is to make the most of his sexual relationships.

Later in the book he reinforces excellent guidelines to nurturing your woman's sexuality. He talks about things you shouldn't say or do, you should pay attention to and how to open your woman's mind up to her sexuality step by step. There is some great content here.

Setting Things Straight About Female Orgasms

"Give women wild screaming orgasms" goes into great and well researched detail on the topic. It also contains some visual graphics (in the ebook) that show you where everything is for the woman and the man. It has the best explanation of why women have different types of orgasms I've seen anywhere.

Well Researched

His introduction into Tantric sex and its purpose is great and clear. It cleared up a lot of confusion in what I've read in the past - again he researched to get to the bottom of what it was really about and how it could help you.

Where I Disagree...

This is over the top, and is really stemming from quite a negative mindset if you think about it. The underlying theme is "If you aren't giving her orgasms, then you are a loser." Not true. Girls can enjoy sex without having orgasms, there is a lot more to sexual pleasure for women than just orgasms. If you are overly focused on making sure that the girl orgasms with you I would say that you are thinking about it too much and you're missing out on some of the fun (and you very may end up being perceived as a 'loser' as a result - being too try-hard never is sexy).

If you use this course please keep this in mind when you apply the techniques - that way they'll add a lot of value to your and her sex life.

The Bottom Line

This isn't a course I would recommend to beginners or even intermediates. That's to say, guys that don't already have a good healthy sex life and who are already pretty confident in the bedroom. If this isn't you, I recommend you first check out either Revolutionary Sex by Alex Allman or Sex God Method by Daniel Rose. These will give you a good foundation from which you can then build on with the techniques in Give Women Wild Screaming Orgasms.

Keep in mind, that at nearly $200 this is a much more expensive product compared to the two other two products above.

Despite its shortness, it is of great value - both for its ability to inspire and develop an empowering mindset in long term committed relationships.

There is very little fluff in the book.

Extinguishing Limiting Beliefs

It also pushes back on some of the ideas that have originated from the seduction/ pick up artist community about the need for multiple relationships or sex partners. In my opinion, this book is a 'hidden gem' that many guys who have followed the 'seduction community' should read to give them a new and more empowering mindset about relationships.

I had this book on a backlog to review since many other books are more popular - but I'm really glad I took the time to look into it - it's lack of popularity, does not reflect it's usefulness.

Leveraging other Works

Alex also refers back to his entry product, 'Revolutionary Sex' and its content at various points in the book. This means that you only get the full value from the book if you've already read that.

Pre-Requisites and the Need for Practical Follow Up Advice

The book needed to provide more examples, specific guidelines and more filling content overall to drum the points home for beginners.

As it stands, you will need to have read 'Revolutionary Sex' or other one of the Sex God Method programs to enable you to leverage this fully.

For advanced guys who already have a good understanding and developed of sexual and relationship skills, the advice in this book may provide some 'pointers' to take you to the next level. Personally this is exactly what I intend to do with this advice.

The Bottom Line

The perspectives offered in this book I haven't read anywhere else - if you are serious about making the most of your relationships, this is a must buy - at under $9 it is an absolute 'no brainer'.

Alex Allman is undoubtedly the real deal. He obviously has a lot of experience with women and sex.

Setting Your Sex Reality 'Straight'

Examples include: How long you should be lasting to make it pleasurable for the woman (not what everyone says) and if size matters and what is big or small and how that all works.

Key concerns that most men think far too much about, and for which Alex Allman provides solid benchmarks and tell it how it really is feedback.

Excellent for Beginners

Looking back on my own initiation into sex I only wish I'd had a book like this to settle all the questions I had. It would have set the ground to make it a much more pleasurable experience.

Outstanding Content not to be Found Elsewhere

From the man's perspective his detailed run through of causes and strategies to overcome an inability to get it up, or other mechanical issues are comprehensive.

From the woman's perspective he delves into the many reasons a woman may not be able to achieve orgasm, describes each situation (the woman's experience to date, if she can achieve orgasm other ways but not with vaginal sex etc.), and provides a practical approach to resolve it.

Excellent content - it sounds simple - but since these issues are very common, and they undermine a couple's sexual potential - it is highly valuable advice.

Another area that Alex Allman delves into in a lot of depth is 'Trust' and its role in sex. I haven't seen the subject discussed in as much detail, and it is definitely a very big factor in taking sex from good to great. While I feel the subject still needs someone to write even more in depth about it, Alex Allman's Revolutionary Sex does the best job of covering it that I've seen so far.

Weaker Content

Sex God Method 2nd edition has more advanced knowledge in several areas, and is a more comprehensive work (although higher priced).

White Tiger Tantra provides better and easier to learn advice on how to make girls squirt. It is also more expensive than this product though.

The Bottom Line

It doesn't just give you some techniques as most sex guides do, it provides real advice on your approach to your sex life that will have a much greater impact than any technique.

The advice Alex Allman brought out in this book contains "Classic" and original material that brought sexual skills advice into the modern age.

It will give any guy the knowledge he needs to make his and his partner's sex life great.

The two main issues with the product are:

1. It does hardly anything more than give you common dating advice for men and tell you to apply it to texting

2. "Blanket advice". It suggests following some blanket principles without taking into account any of the essential context of the situation or the type of girl

Contains Bad Dating Advice

Instead of progressing with the woman you would move closer to rejection.

One example of bad advice was when things are going badly to text "I can see you are still trying to get over your last boyfriend. Good luck with that." That will get you communicating some very negative reactive traits to the girl and drive her away even faster.

"Time Warp": As I read Tyler Tray's Ultimate Texting Guide" I felt like I had been sucked into a time warp and dragged back to dating advice that was being used around 7 years ago.

Advice has improved a lot since then and got much better. Looking at some of what was written made me shudder. I remember when I first learned a few things having applied some similar ideas way back in the day.

Applying Common Dating Advice to Texting

It doesn't introduce anything new. And more importantly, it provides very few specific insights or advice related to texting itself. It is more like a summary of principles that have been established in some of the original dating advice for men products that build dating advice to where it is today.
It really came across as though Tyler Tray had read the original products and summarized some of their points in this ebook. That was 75% of the content.

The point is here that as a result 75% of the books content is just a low quality version with lack of depth explanations of better stuff out there. If you want to learn about attraction or connection you should get some dating advice which covers the subject fully like The Attraction Code or the Double Your Dating ebook or more sophisticated products like Revelation or Magic Bullets. Those products will teach you the subject in enough depth for you to learn properly. This product does not.

"Blanket Advice"

An example is in Section 3 where he suggests texting a girl that asks for something: "I would but your face isn't pretty enough to get that from me." Now, this can work with *some* girls. It's true. But those are specific types of girls. Other girls will be completely repelled by this type of remark, especially at the wrong time, at the wrong stage of relationship.

Other examples include advice such as "Never say you miss her" and "Never laugh in a text". All this is likely to do is turn guys into 'social robots' where they aren't being real with women. There is not enough explanation provided with these suggestions to let the reader know why he should use these and they would be good ideas - that at least would've allowed him to make his own decision about where to use them. This essential information isn't given.

Good Bits in Section 4 and Section 6

So Tyler Tray does bring a few of his own ideas into the mix. However there is just too little of it to substantiate the product. It's around 5% of the product.

Surprisingly in section 6 he gives some advice which conflicts with advice given earlier in the book. The advice in this section is better - however a reader will get confused between the two as a result.

One good thing is that Tray is a least not trying to rip you off on the price. At 15 bucks, this is among the cheapest products out there and accessible to everyone. Unfortunately, if the advice is so-so at best and sometimes wrong, even 15 bucks can be too much.

The Bottom Line

It's a funny product that packages a lot of generic, and sometimes dated, advice under the theme of texting. However it doesn't really offer much pure advice on texting.

So it ends up being not very good at anything

If you want to learn about general dating advice, buy one of the well rated general dating advice products I linked to above.

If you want to learn about texting specifically, I have recently reviewed another book that really impressed me. This one is very comprehensive and contains a lot of quality AND original content (as of 2010): the ultimate guide to text and phone game by love systems.

It fills a much needed void in the dating advice market. One of the biggest issues for guys once they learn dating advice is that they can get phone numbers but don't seem to be able to meet the girls afterwards to take the relationship further. It's a huge source of frustration, so a book like this has been a long time coming.

To bring out a good product on the subject isn't easy because for one thing there is so much uncertainty involved. When you're texting or phoning a girl you really don't know what is going on in her life at that moment and as a consequence there are a lot of unknowns to deal with.

In short - this product was going to have to really do a good job for it to be good.

So, what's the verdict?

An Excellent Product - a System

It contains a neat system which you can apply to take a lot of the uncertainty out of what you are doing.

Easy to Follow - But No Less Comprehensive

For those who have read Love System's core product the Magic Bullets Handbook, you will also find that the material is supplementary and fits with the rest of their approach to dating. Understanding their 'emotional progression' model and other items properly will undoubtedly reinforce your ability to use this product and apply it effectively, since is built on top of these core concepts.

No Fluff - Real Solid Clarity

This is invaluable. It goes as far as giving 'do - do not' lists to make things really easy for you to follow in more complex sections such as 'sexualisation'.

There are a lot of subtleties that go into calibration of texting, which could very well take years of experience to understand - it was a long process for me. The ebook has captured many of these - again, really essential if you want to get good at this stuff.

This was by far not an easy subject to make clear, and the efforts to do it really come through in the book. This is truly a great product from this point of view and I'm looking forward to hearing how it impacts students results. I'm sure it's going to do well.

Expelling Limiting Beliefs - Persistance

Caveat: Keep in mind that there are also many girls who will simply disappear in those situations, and that the examples in the book show the positive outcomes to demonstrate what is possible.

Many guys give up too early and don't persist enough or in the right way - the book tackles this subject well.

Trying to Find Faults

1. 1. Phone Game: The book is entitled 'the ultimate text and phone game', however in reality 95% of the content relates to texting. There is good reason for that focus, however I would've liked more time spent on discussing the subtleties of being on the phone with women. There is room to add more detail here to the same level of 'capturing subtleties' as has been done with texting in the book. It is covered well, however, not to the superior level of the rest of the book.
   
   
   


2. 2. Advanced Non-Essential Material Warning: Towards the end of the ebook there is a large section dedicated to 'Sexualization'. It's good material, but for most readers this won't be immediately usable and even 'dangerous' to their results. Braddock and Mr. M give several warnings about this, well done, however I imagine that the emphasis on it will still lead many students to jump on it, especially as it looks exciting. In reality, such content is less important than the rest of the book - only useful for certain dating situations. It was not mentioned in the book but it is actually great for existing relationships (not sure why this wasn't mentioned). If you buy the book don't get overly involved in this section, thinking because it uses up many pages it is an important part to get things working for you. In most situations it really won't make the difference between a bad and good result. In others it will sabotage your efforts. Be mindful of this if you aren't at an advanced level.
   
   
   


3. 3. Make it More Visual: There are no diagrams or visuals in this ebook. It's pure reading. It's a shame, because just a few diagrams could have captured and communicated the message and advice that much more clearly. I hope to see some in future revisions, because that will make it even easier to use.
   

If Love Systems tackles these issues, it would turn this from an Excellent to a truly Outstanding product.

Overpriced?

This book is relatively narrow, looking at a small area of the overall dating skillset. So at first glance you may ask "Why so much given that it doesn't cover many subjects?".

I would say this. If this is an area of your skillset that is not working for you - it will be good value. This isn't an optional add on to meeting women, it is an essential part of the puzzle. And it isn't covered in other products anywhere near as extensively although it may be touched upon. The value is in its ability to change your results.

The one caveat: If you are just looking for a few tips to improve something that you already do well, and $100 is a lot of money for you - it most likely won't be worth you buying it.

I'd personally be happy with the purchase, and I've read a lot and considered that I was already pretty damn good in this area...

The Bottom Line

So, pretty much everyone, no matter who you are will get value from this product. Beginners and even intermediates will get a whole system to follow and guys of an advanced level will find new things to try out and apply to what they are already doing (I know I'll make some tweaks and try some new stuff out). Bonus: You'll possibly spend a lot less time thinking about what to do with numbers, and can put that time to other endeavours...

This is an excellent product. It was high time someone tackled this frustration point for guys - Awesome!

Somewhere between Beginner to Intermediate

On the one hand it's comprehensive. Everything is in there to give a beginner a good foundation in dating science. And it attempts to stick to the most important things to start to get good from scratch. The tone of conversation from Christian Hudson and Nick Sparks throughout is focused on helping the beginner.

On the other hand the fact that it is so comprehensive, means that some aspects are a little rushed through - and could become confusing for a beginner.

Example in hand - in Part 4 of the videos there are ALOT of concepts and terms introduced in particular. It feels like waves and wave of them and gets too much for a beginner IMHO. Newbies may feel they are drowning in concepts and some technical language on that video.

One of the Most "Down to Earth" Products on the Market

They use a lot of common words and terminology for example to explain things. They provide examples throughout about the concepts they are talking to, and use some helpful visual diagrams to get the more complex points across.

So, given how much ground they cover in the product - I'd give it an A+ in terms of how they've tried to simplify it, and keep it as uncomplicated as possible. Really good effort.

Innovation is Not its Strong Point

For those of you who have already consumed a fair bit of dating advice this may help to put this comment into context. "Unbreakable" core is something equal to:

If you've read and watched these products don't expect any huge revelations. You'll notice many concepts from these which have similar names. Examples from many are RSD's Reticular Activation System (Value Filter) and Love Systems' Emotional Progression model (Emotional Continuum).

Caveat. Merging and combining ideas is innovation to an extent. To merge ideas and concepts and make them work together well takes some innovation. So you may get some insights and learn from the way they have pulled this altogether.

I found it to be an elegant way to look at dating science. As I mentioned before, it is a well structured product in its simplicity.

Where I feel the product WAS innovative was with the aforementioned efforts to bring 'dating science' down to earth and more accessible to the masses. This is the value that Christian Hudson and Nick Sparks brought to the dating advice market with this product.

All About Emotions - Not About Technical Tactics

As a result you will find this to be a lot less of a 'technical/ mechancial' product than Revelations or Magic Bullets. It has a lot less tactics and talks a lot more about basic principles.

To build on this they also talk about a lot of subtleties in building connections with people in the last couple of videos. It's these kinds of subtleties that often get students 'brains to click' so they get it. Great to see these here.

Good Advice on How to Learn Game

I was really glad to see this, because often guys get distracted by a lot of the complex and advanced stuff they don't need to get some better results with women.

They cover these in the last video.

The Bottom Line

If you aren't so inclined, other products like the Double Your Dating eBook or the Attraction Code will be better to start off with.

If you've read one or two pieces of dating advice already and feel a bit more at home with terminology, this could also be a good product for you.

Overall - it's a good solid product.

How Relevant is this Product to You?

• 
  1. It's a product for both men and women. So I was afraid that the lack of focus on the male perspective would detract from its usefulness.


• 2. Each relationship looked at is for couples that have been married for a reasonably long time. The dynamics of these types of relationships are going to be different, given family commitments, children, etc. to relationships with less history and commitment. I was watching from a mindset of improving relationship skills for the average guy, who isn't necessarily married.


• 3. The people that Anthony Robbins coaches are there because they want to make it work. By coming to his seminar they are already making an effort and signalling that they have a will to make it work. This may not be the situation you are trying to deal with as a guy. More likely you are seeking advice because you have trouble keeping your woman.


Despite these, I found the content largely remained relevant to any guy in a relationship. Anthony Robbins' approach sticks to fundamental principles behind a relationship, so are actually more broadly applicable than these specific situations. In addition, the fact that it was a product for both men and women, in my opinion, makes it much more useful - read on to see why.



A Surprising Source of Value


I had thought that the lack of focus on men, with Anthony advising both men and women would detract from its usefulness to guys. It turns out exactly the opposite was true.


Seeing the interactions between women and men in relationships on the videos added a dimension I haven't seen in any other product. You get to see both sides of the equation, you get to see Anthony's coaching of the women which gives you more insights into their perspective, and most importantly you get to see the effects of different male behaviors on the moods of the women with Anthony often pointing out what has happened. This is something I haven't seen in other products. So great to see.



Where this Product Excels


What you see vividly time and time again in this product are women testing their husbands. You see it in multiple ways. You see Anthony Robbins point it out when it happens, telling the guy that she is just testing him and to press on with what he was doing. The beauty of it is, that there are many extreme examples.



I consider that I've been with some extremely dramatic girls in my time, one was bipolar, and I know of only a few senior guys in the dating advice community who have had similarly crazy girls on their hands. I tell you this, because some of these women exceed or parallel that type of behavior.


So if you want to see just how rough tests can get - and know what you should stand up to and have to overcome - there is some really good footage here. Some solid examples of standing strong against a torrent of emotions from a woman.



Anthony Robbins guides the men through passing these tests and coaches them on it. You will find the advice he gives here very similar to that you may have read in The Way of the Superior Man or Become Mr. Right.





Advanced Psychology - Not for Guys Who Want to Fire and Go


Anthony uses some relatively sophisticated tools from the world of psychology for some of this seminar. It gets heavy. In other words, unless you are committed and can get a reasonable grasp of and apply psychological principles rigourously, much of the content may just go over your head and never get used. For guys who want to finetune relationships, you should be up to it. For guys who have more basic issues, there is still content for you to get, but you may get distracted by the 'psychological toolkits' from what you should be focusing on. Definitely not a product for beginners without much relationship experience or know-how.



What You Should Know About This Product


The DVDs and the Audio files are the same footage (you just get to watch or listen to the same thing).


However, you SHOULD watch the video, it will give you far more insight into what Anthony is teaching. If you listen to the audio you would be missing a lot of the value.


You would not see the body language and expressions that the people getting coached communicate, and which Anthony Robbins is continuously calibrating to, and pointing out. To watch the audio, you'll only be getting 10% of the value - literally.



Weaker Material


Looking quickly over the 6 DVDs - They are all good, with something to learn from each with the exception of DVD 6. "You come first - the power of alignment". This DVD was less useful than the others. Funnily enough, the main reason for this is that you only have a guy coached on his own without his wife in it. The focus on just the guy without the girl's interaction with him, took a lot away from the great stuff I'd seen in the other DVDs. To make matters worse, I really felt that the guy looked like he hadn't resolved things when Anthony Robbins came back to interview him 6 months later. I'd be willing to bet that a year down the line things were not looking so bright for him. To be fair though, the guy had not really applied what Anthony Robbins had coached him on - it wasn't due to bad advice. Bad implementation of the advice rather.



The Bottom Line


I'd recommend this product for guys in relationships that aren't working out, or who have a history of relationships that didn't work out and want to make sure they are better prepared the next time around. It will be particularly useful for very difficult and tense relationships with a lot of history.

The caveats to this recommendation are:

- If you haven't read The Way of the Superior Man first, you need to do that. I see a lot of the value of this product as improving your understanding of the most important parts of Way of the Superior Man.


- If you are price conscious - this isn't a good buy. It's pricey for what you get.



I'd add that for guys with a lot of experience this product may be useful to reinforce your view of the world, male-female relationships and how relationships fit in with the rest of your life. This product demonstrates that good dating advice from dating coaches from the self development, spiritual and seduction community worlds has more similarities than differences in it at the end of the day.

Loved the Steadfast Scientific Rigor

Assortment of Repackaged Content from the Stylelife Academy Program

A downfall of this is that there is some time wasted on individual coaching of students on some of the audio calls that will not be useful for you. On the "DHV (Demonstrate Higher Value) and rapport building" CD nearly 10 minutes is spent on discussing the last 'mission' that was set to one of the students.

The DVD on "Reading People and Calibration" also had some seminar fluff that got me wanting to fast forward - the group exercises of reading other students weren't very useful.

The rest of the DVDs and CDs have much less time wasted.

Big Emphasis on Routines

Some of the routines covered include those mentioned Style's book "The Game". Routines covered include: the best friends test, the ESP routine, the ring finger routine, the C vs. U smile routine, Style's EV (eliciting values), the Secret Self routine, the Evolution Phase Shift routine and the David Bowie opener.

About half of the content in the "attraction super pack" is covering these routines.

The point here is - if you want to use routines and learn to deliver them properly this content from Style is all you'll need to use these particular routines effectively. Also, since Style discusses the routines in such depth it will give you a good foundation from which to learn to use other routines effectively.

Gets to the Point

This provides a better foundation to enable the students to self-learn after, by helping them to really get it. He doesn't waste time on explaining or discussing anything that won't improve your results.

High marks for keeping focused on what really helps someone to improve, and limiting the fluff.

Hidden "Inner Game" Gems

My fear is that these 'gems' may be lost on beginners. They may not realize how useful these points are.

Bonus DVD - JGatz on Storytelling

The Bottomline

However, it is expensive - you are paying a lot of $$$ for this advice and instruction.

Material Verges on Self Actualization

David takes material from some of his non-dating courses for business like Wake Up Productive on subjects varying from leadership, finding your purpose in life, making your day productive and living with a 'clean system' so that you build your energy.

This is all valuable stuff for your life - coming from my own perspective I know how improvements in all these areas of my life have benefited my relationships, so while you may not 'get' the link, trust me, it's there. DeAngelo does a good job of explaining this link in the program and obviously has chosen material based on his own progress (he gives examples of his own recent relationships in the program to illustrate).

Practicality 10/10 - Thorough but Slow Learning with Many Exercises

Building Intimacy and Solving Relationship Conflicts

I felt that the part on 'Facilitation process' is valid for a 'mature relationship', however, it requires that your woman have a certain level of emotional maturity in my opinion to be effective. It came across as a mini-course in being a psychotherapist.

Advice on Mrs. Right

For instance DeAngelo identifies these as the Deal Breakers for a woman:

- You don't want a woman who will accept excuses for not doing what you need to do

- You want a woman that can help you heal your emotional wounds (i.e. everyone has them, and its through positive relationships that they can be healed)

That's beyond the expectations of nearly every guy I've met - but the logic is tight. The point here is - this program is pushing things to a new level in terms of what you should expect from relationships with women, that may not be for everyone (ever or yet).

Weaker Component - Personality Types (DVD 9)

However, while DeAngelo normally does a good job on research, this part came across as weak. He introduces some frameworks from "The Five Love Languages", Myers-Briggs and NLP. This was overly simplistic in many areas, which caused confusion in the students on the course at times. Myers-Briggs has long lost 'validity' in the world of psychology as a reliable tool, and there are better alternatives he could have used.

Overall I would ignore this, as it is likely to leave you more confused than adding any benefits - with the exception of the five love languages.

The Bottom Line

For guys who have found that their relationships with women have evolved in ways they didn't like in the past, this product will be helpful for you. The majority of guys in this position are self-sabotaging their relationships in some way, and this programme explores a wide variety of areas where you may be doing this.

This program is for advanced guys who want to get the most out of long term relationships with women. It will make you think, reconsider your past behaviors, and probably lead you to some simple but tough actions - if you have the courage.

Note: This review and the rating have been done from the perspective of learning to get more success with women. They do not reflect the 'entertainment' value of the book itself - the book is a very entertaining read.

A Documentary - Not Fiction

Heralding a Huge Growth in Popularity of Pick Up Artistry and its Training

A Starting Point for Newbies to Dating Advice

That is the value of this book - it will 'open your eyes' to the possibilities. It will not teach you anything, except that what you already subconsciously knew about the world and men and women relations, is actually true.

What the Book is Not

The Bottom Line

Whilst it is not essential reading, it is a strong recommendation. 99% of students of dating advice have read this book, and it helps you to situate yourself amongst all the instructors and terminology you will come across.

Psychological Emphasis Over Technique

In fact, the author emphasizes that “the psychological is more important than the physical”, and that therefore focusing on “how to” techniques is wrong. Instead, the book is about understanding the female perspective of sex (which is NOT what you think it is), and using it to create unique sexual experiences with your partner(s). Psychological impact is emphasized over physical techniques, through the use of dominant frames and sexual scenarios.

Strong and Practical Framework

The Importance of Sex to Attraction and Relationships

"Lots of guys consider the first time you have sex with a woman the end of a seduction; I do not. I consider it the beginning."

This is excellent advice. In my opinion one of the most often overlooked 'root issues' where guys are having trouble keeping their girlfriends or suffering from only 'same night lay syndrome' is a sexual experience than less than distinguishes you from the rest. The chapter on dominance in Sex God Method provides a great explanation of the role of sex in relationships.

For Those with Little Sexual Experience - You May Need Extra Help to Implement

In a later product, Daniel Rose's Sex God Method VIP Program this issue is resolved. Daniel Rose provides a lot more practical detail in the form of mini-frameworks, and stories to relate exactly what is meant by some of the more abstract aspects of his approach to sexual mastery.

Original? Or Just Better?

It makes many improvements on the 'communication' of similar advice, making it easier to understand and apply. Nonetheless, there are some points which Revolutionary Sex provides better focus on. The most noteworthy is the issue of 'trust', it's role in sex, and how to develop it.

The Bottom Line

This is a "mindset changing" book that will deeply change your perspective of what sex is all about. No matter your sexual level or experience, you are bound to learn a lot of new ideas and original techniques. This book is a clear and simple framework for maximizing your sexual potential.

Given the quality of the content, the price is really low at $37 (Note: this considers that you cancel your membership to theVIP program , which is billed monthly from second month and has a lot more content - click here to read more about the Sex God Method VIP program).

The book is a great deal and a must-have for anyone interested in improving his sex life.

Implementation requires a certain ease with words when with women, because of the sophistication of the approach. Swinggcat describes the outline of his approach, and leaves it to you to use your creativity to implement it. I.e. pick up lines or routines are not a big part of this book. This is positive for the long term use of his concepts, however many students fail to work through the first difficult stage of implementing his teachings.

This book represents one of the original foundations of knowledge in the pick up community. It is the root of many copycat type products, or products that have used Swinggcat's material in later years. 'Prizing' and 'Push and Pull' are core techniques that have today become often used tools in the portfolio of techniques of the best dating masters and gurus.

The book is very basic in its format.
Some people have had customer service issues with Swinggcat's website. It is not expensive, given the value that the product contains in content.

You should already have an understanding of basic pick-up/ dating techniques to understand a lot of what is being said. As the instructors narrate their own personal stories, in particular talking about the barriers they have had to overcome, it provides inspiration and tips on getting over your own 'barriers' to dating mastery. Ozzie's presentation is probably the most easy to implement, as he explains in details how to "run the train", ie make a move and close the deal with a woman.

There are a few innovative elements in this product, although much of its content can be learned from other products, in particular Real Social Dynamics' 'Foundations'. The approach to teaching, based on personal narratives of each instructor provides unique insights into some challenges of developing game that had previously been ignored. Jeffy's outline of the 'dark-side of game and pick-up' provides an unusually candid look into the value of applying some of the dating science to your life, and how to use it to ultimately make your whole life a lot better. Ozzie's review of 'closing the deal' also offers some good 'candid' insights that will help to eliminate 'limiting beliefs' of some students.

As usual with Real Social Dynamics' latest products, this is a professionally filmed/ recorded product of excellent quality. The packaging and customer service are also professional.

Base on the value above and its price tag, this offers reasonable value for money, especially to intermediate daters who have sticking points or motivation barriers they are trying to overcome.

Going Beyond the eBook to Make it Easier to Implement

To make it more practical, and justify the high price tag, the program combines the original psychological approach from the book with a lot of 'practical focused' explanations of techniques that can be used in conjunction with the approach.

Whilst the original book was not a "sex techniques" book, this program does contain very useful information on how to perform certain everyday and less popular sexual techniques properly and in the most pleasurable fashion for your woman.

Daniel Rose, continues to emphasize that “the psychological is more important than the physical”, but in this program he provides content that connects what were guidelines, mindsets and concepts on how to approach sexual intercourse with women to the direct practical actions. This makes the program particularly valuable to beginners who will find it much easier to understand and apply than the eBook.

Yet More Innovative Content...

It is clear that Daniel Rose has done his research well for the program’s more technical aspects. An example is in increasing your testosterone levels to increase your libido. His advice is consistent with the latest scientific research and helpful on a point that is often overlooked by other dating products. He provides some innovative information on it.

Throughout the program Daniel challenges and puts straight commonly accepted assumptions about sex and women. This will be particularly important to beginners like shy guys and AFCs.

I was really happy to see that Daniel talks about essential aspects of developing a full sexual experience within longer term relationships through breaking down sexual barriers. He identifies each sexual barrier that inhibits a sexual life between partners and how to surpass these so that the girl’s sexuality develops to its potential. I was impressed with how clearly he provides examples to progress a girl’s sexuality, which is something that many guys get stuck on thinking their girlfriend ‘just isn’t as sexual as other girls’. Each is intelligent and well thought out. Excellent stuff!

Strong Lead and Teaching Style from Daniel Rose

Another nice touch are Daniel’s video diaries where he talks about a lot of his own personal experiences in connection with aspects of SGM. This is valuable to help people visualize the changes and the impact of applying the methods to their lives. By giving more insight into his own character, which is a brave thing to do, he makes the content of the program that more valuable – by making it more authentic.

There are now interview sessions with Daniel Rose and other sexual skills instructors which would be a great addition to the program. However, whilst this seems to be the objective, so far the interviews have all been with Jhonny Wolf, with the exception of an interview with Jason Julius of Orgasm Arts – hopefully in the future he will run a greater variety of instructors. I anticipate that he will.

General Content Shortcomings of the Program

Jhonny Wolf's Lower Value Input to the Program

The majority of these topics are either narrow (relevant to only a few situations), more straightforward and obvious, or taken from old and well known 'seduction community' knowledge. At times the tips over-complexify something that is basic, and it may only hurt someone’s development to think about it in such complex terms, leading them to worry about things that are irrelevant. Jhonny typically recounts some stories in these, with 30 or 1 minute's worth of valuable tip.

For some shy/ insecure guys and AFCs these may provide some value, in the form of ideas, and motivation through the stories (letting them visualize something different). But for most other guys these can be missed.

In some sex tips, Jhonny gave some notably bad advice/ made some careless and sloppy comments with negative mindsets. The worst example was the sex tip on making sex videos with girls: “It’s really really fun to pull up videos of girls you like, but you know you won’t be with again, and it’s even more sexy fun to do with girls that you hate now and pull up videos of you [having sex with her or her giving you a blowjob]”… in another spot he mentions “I was showing my buddies some of these videos and…”. If you want to know why this is not a good idea and you shouldn’t show your videos to your buddies, check out the best products on relationship skills which will point out much better mindsets and approaches to relationships.

It's not all bad.

His tip on ‘hiding the condom’ had me laughing my ass off, especially when he said “I have six of them…”. For those of you who get the program, I encourage you to watch that sex tip for the fun factor :-) I could actually see using 'one' being an approach to get round the issue he describes. Although there are other much easier ways to get round it.

Also, the hand of dominance tip is a good technique to apply, it’s a pity that was one of the shortest tips – he could’ve talked a lot more about why and how it works with women to make it a lot more useful.

Final Word

I was surprised to find the sloppiness of some of the sex tips since overall this is a very professional and
well marketed program. So if you buy this program, I recommend not paying too much attention to anything negative or doubtful you watch in them, or maybe just skipping these weekly sex tips altogether.

The Bottom Line: Given the quality of the content, and the impact this product can have on your sex life (and as a consequence your relationships) this program without a doubt merits its rather high price tag.

The Root of Many Pick Up Artist Techniques

Insights into Highly Effective Pick Up Artists (PUAs) Techniques

The Challenge - Implementing it

1. It requires a significant time investment in going out to bars and clubs to practice the techniques 'in field'.

2. It's intricacy means that it requires more practice than other approaches to get good at it and make it effective for you. You will have to use the book as a reference guide, that you refer back to constantly after applying 'in field' in order to adjust and refine the way you implement the techniques.

3. Whilst the book explains to a high level of detail most of the techniques, there are subtleties that are not covered in this book, which could undermine the method's effectiveness if the student is not aware of them. These subtleties are described in a much better and more comprehensive fashion in Revelation. Students who are more 'self aware' tend to have less problem with these subtleties.

The Bottom Line
