How to get more dates
As you know, the best way to get the dating life you want is to optimize your strategy as much as you can based on your lifestyle and personality. But just because you're being efficient and optimal doesn't mean you shouldn't also be exhausting as many funnels as you can to meet chicks and other cool dudes. This was inspired by one of my students, Jeff. Jeff is in his mid 20s and he's a solid likable guy who's got his life together and is fun to be around. The problem is that he's not getting nearly the amount of dates a guy in his shoes should be getting. I have reason to believe that this … [Read more...]

The most embarrassing text I’ve ever sent
Over the years I’ve been a dating coach I’ve developed an opinion that other dating coaches love to fight me on: you should listen to feedback from women, but don’t take their advice. If you’re going to catch a fish, you don’t ask the fish how to catch it. Girls will be correct about their subjective opinions (since it’s impossible to be wrong about them) but they’ll be wrong about how you should attract them. Use their feedback about your shortcomings, but get dating advice somewhere else. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was in my early 20s living in San Francisco. I had a first … [Read more...]
Why is this girl being flaky?
You meet a girl and things start out well, but she starts getting distant or flaky. It’s a situation we’ve all been in. Steve, a Leverage Program member, posted a great question in our private members area about this very situation. Here's his question: A girl I'm enthusiastic is being flaky about our third date. Our conversation has always been smooth and to me it seems like we share mutual chemistry. We met on Tinder and got drinks on our first date. Our second date was a cooking date at my place. We made out, cuddled in our underwear, and I cooked her breakfast the next morning. We … [Read more...]
The truth about confidence and rejection
If you don't feel confident in your dating life, it says nothing about your character. It's just an indication that you need more practice so you can stack more wins. There's a lot of nonsense out there on what confidence is, or what it takes to develop confidence. Confidence is the thoughts and feelings that result from a series of wins stacked together. It's your expectation of how you'll perform in a given situation, and it's different from self-esteem, which is your overall evaluation of yourself. I was reviewing Mate by Tucker Max yesterday and found a brilliant definition of … [Read more...]
Stop caring what other people think…or don’t?
Think of all the things you could accomplish if you didn't care what other people think. In an ideal world, you could flip a switch in your brain to do this, start taking bigger risks, and reap the rewards. That's why on the surface, "stop caring what other people think" is a great piece of advice. But as is usually the case, reality is more complicated than a piece of rah-rah self-help oversimplification. So what's my problem with this idea? The problem is that caring what others think is ingrained in human nature. We evolved in tribes with less than 150 people. If you were … [Read more...]
The Importance of Teeth for Your Dating Life
While the right personality, temperament and confidence are probably the most important factors when it comes to successful long-term relationships, when it comes to attracting a woman in the first place, how we look and take care of ourselves, such as taking care of our dental health, plays a much bigger role that most guys overlook. And there is also a huge new trend developing around dental tourism (and especially Mexico dental tourism as the prices are so cheap and travel so cheap from the USA too) so that is another way that a lot of money can be saved. And research has shown that one … [Read more...]

All of my friends are losers. How can I find new ones?
How you do anything is how you do everything, and the people you choose to associate with reflects on your character. It's crucial to surround yourself with guys who are better than you if you want to become better with women. Women are attracted to social status more than anything else, and one of the most important ways to show (not tell) your status is by being a leader or providing value in a group of other attractive men. This is why I always talk about how improving your dating life is more than just knowing how to attract; it's about being a complete man who's attractive to … [Read more...]
What’s the Dork Forcefield?
When I was starting out as a dating coach, I got a lot better in every area of my life. The advantage I had is that I was constantly seeking other guys who were successful socially and comfortable around hot women. It offered a two-for-one benefit because I was always surrounded by people trying to improve, and it created the mastermind effect. A mastermind is a coaching group of like-minded individuals and mentors who network, share advice, and support each other, with the intention of helping everyone in the group advance both individually and collectively. As far as I’m aware, the … [Read more...]

How do I dress well without going broke?
Style can be a painfully annoying topic to grasp. Most guys and girls neglect it altogether and look terrible as a result, sporting combinations like running shoes and jeans that are sure to turn off anyone. The ones who get it know that it's important, if for no other reason than because people pay attention to your clothes and try to spice it up using fashionable jewelry pieces like this mens cuban link chain which you can get on sale by clicking the las link.
