“If it came too easy, you don’t feel like you earned it, making it all the easier to walk away” suggests R. Deline, a professional dating coach in Washington, D.C. “Most women inherently know this, but many men who have trouble with [keeping] women, tend to put women on too high of a pedestal” he said.

February 2008 Body Language First, Words Second – R. Deline MeetingWomenSecrets.com

“Start with the first solid step in her direction.   Get those hands out of your pockets and stand up straight.   Smile a little… no not that cheesy grin, bro!  Just a little smirk.  Yes, better… slow your gestures down.  Speak up.  Don’t lean over her.  And don’t forget to body rock.   Yes, perfect, like that!  Now go tell her…  you like salad.” – R. Deline

Reviews

“I’ve probably spent way too much time reading and watching PUA stuff but I’ve never come across anything like the experience you gave on the boot camp… You guys definitely have something special goin on…. I probably never said this during the boot camp so I’ll say it now. Thank you for all the encouraging words you gave me through the boot camp. It really did mean a lot and the experience is something that sticks with me today.” – Pete C.

“Ernesto and Brother James can serve a diverse group of clientele. Their approaches match with their personalities. They don’t push routines; instead they teach a more natural approach. They are intelligent enough to realize that there are a wide variety of strategies that will work for different people. They provide a solid structure for you to grow from.

The main thing I took away from these workshops is an awareness of social situations that I previously knew existed, but I could not seem to figure out. I feel confident now that if I continue to go out, I will get more comfortable, and ultimately reach success on a regular basis.

I can vouch for these guys, and I would trust them with my own brother. I feel they have a healthy attitude towards relationships and are knowledgeable in all areas of pickup.” -Rossum

“Everything that you guys teach works. EVERYTHING.” – Mohammad

Review of the How to Be Awesome workshop:

“Ok, I paid the fee and was part of the audience at the Seminar and can report on it. It came across as very professional, very effective. BroJ & D-line combined a lot of inner game at the beginning and then a lot of technique in the second half. Praise God, they included exercises where we dealt with sh!t tests, and others, so that we didn’t just sit down for 5 hours like college punks, but actually were doing things.

The exercises were more challenging than just listening, and because of that I knew they were valuable. Madhatters is nice a$$ bar too. The title of this is itself Awesome, and something about “HOw to be awesome” makes me want to go to it. I couldn’t resist the title.

Excellent beginners course or refresher. They dont teach ‘routines’ or ‘hypnosis’ (just like they say they dont). It’s strictly ‘natural game’. That’s how we roll, biaatch!” – Prime

“I totally agree. It was very well-run, laid-back, and I picked up a few tips from the seminar. They teach in a very down-to-earth and interactive manner which is refreshing.

The in-field was great, and we had a good ratio (4 students + Ernesto + Brother James). Ernesto sent me into one with an opener that I thought would get me slapped, and it opened the girl nicely. I lost my frame on that one, but having the push to use something fairly ballsy was empowering. Brother James pointed out that I wasn’t kinoing at all, something I had previously noticed but with my focus on opening I had let slip significantly. Hearing it from someone else was major, and I thought about it over the weekend; going in, I thought that “building attraction” with stories and such was my sticking point but kino is more of the immediate problem…and it made me realize that for some stupid reason I’ve been intimidated more by DC women than I was by Ohio women.

Basically, these guys managed to reframe both my approach confidence and my own analysis of my game in a few hours.

Highlights of the night for me:

-more approaches in one night than I usually do in a weekend
-20+ minutes chatting up a Playboy Bunny
-approaching and getting in with some of the best looking girls at each bar
-having a fiance come over while I’m chatting with his group telling me to leave and the future wife (and the others) telling him to relax and that i’m cool
-staying in a two-set that just told me that their boyfriends are nearby, then when one came over immediately defusing him simply by introducing myself (something Brother James and Ernesto taught) and continuing to chat with all of them [normally I would've just run away from this situation]
-1 legit number of a cute little girl that just graduated, and her friend also seeming interested
-1 facebook
-A fuckton of fun” – Judo
