Advanced Dating Techniques is a program by David Deangelo to improve men’s seduction knowledge and skills.

Bullet Summary

• Address your limiting beliefs
• Always be flirting
• Use cocky and funny: be cocky and then take the edge off with humor

Full Summary

The Advanced Dating Technique programs is a longish program with interviews, questions from the audience and lots of chatter.

I haven’t taken extensive notes as I listened and little struck my fancy. I will summarize here some points which I remembered.

Limiting Beliefs

If a belief is limiting you, you can challenge it by thinking of any experience that disproves it. Or you can ammass experiences that disprove it.

Empowering Beliefs

Consistent effort CREATES luck.

Fundamentals

Newcomers always look for the routine or the sexy trick. But there are no silver bullets. Learn and master the fundamentals instead. Focus on them before you even start thinking about the fancy tricks.

Assert Own Reality

When you assert your own reality you are the dominant one in it.
Build your own reality where others are a guest in it.

Beliefs of Successful Men

A high quality man has the following beliefs:

• I put myself and my life first
• I don’t let women gain control over me
• I deserve high quality women
• I’m indifferent to the outcome
• I’m in control and don’t let outside events control me
• I don’t tolerate disrespect to myself, my time or my property
• I’m a catch
• I judge people on character, not looks or possessions

Look at Body Language

Pay attention and learn body language because it accounts for 93% of communication

My Note: not true, that’s one of the most misunderstood and misquoted study ever.

High Novelty Seeking

High novelty seekers get more actions. Try new things, go for more experiences and take risks.

Approach Anxiety

There are four major fears when you approach a woman:

1. Embarrassment
2. Rejection
3. Verbal confrontation
4. Physical violence

To overcome fear, imagine the worst possible outcome and laugh about it.

CONS

Lots of Theory & Little Seduction
Deangelo talks, I quote “your DNA spontaneous comes apart and half of it goes to make sperm”. Little later “sex is a very economic game. A woman produces one egg per month”.
Deangelo even starts reading passages live, which felt way too theoretical for me.

Slow & Two Timing
Deangelo is slow and often repeats the same phrases twice, just to make it sound deeper.
It reminded me of Jimmy Two Times here:

Overuse of Cocky Funny
Deangelo was the first to come up with cocky funny, but he seems a bit stuck there. He says “think of a cocky funny answer for everything”. For example when a woman asks him what he does, one of his stock replies his “oh funny you ask that, I’m slave trading business”. I’m not saying that’s not good.. At times. But not every time and personally I’m not a huge fan of it.
Some of the examples are just a little better than cheesy pick up lines.

Little Depth and Details
Whenever it comes to techniques the program feels shallow. For example in approaching in difficult situations, the author lists a bunch of approaches types but gives little examples and little wisdom on each -and among those approaching types there is “entertain her with magic” :S-.

Didn’t Like the Advice
In my opinion, the seduction advice was not that good. For example Deangelo shows some of his texts when she doesn’t reply or when he’s chatting online. it all seemed a bit childish to me and going nowhere.
Also the “fun” of sending the picture of an ugly guy… Definitely not my thing. If a woman were to send me the picture of an ugly woman to look better in comparison I’d think she’s a low quality woman or has very low self esteem if she needs to make fun of others trying to look better.

Review

There is quite a lot on limiting beliefs, but it’s not as deep as on dedicated self-transformation programs like in Tony Robbins’ Personal Power II for example.

And the second part on actual seduction I found it a bit watered down and underwhelming.

The whole program was too slow and too discursive in my opinion to be really be effective.

I now tried a couple different products from Deangelo and couldn’t get into them.
I gave it a try and I wasn’t impressed.

You give it a shot and maybe you’ll have a different experience.
