I’ve bought all these books and systems and have tried them. I have been poring over these kinds of materials for five years now. My top-ranking based on workability for the average guy is as follows.
(I am excluding anything that is not a Guru site. )
- Dating To Relating (Mr. L. Rx)
- Double Your Dating (David DeAngelo)
- The Mystery Method (Mystery)
- Style Life (Neil Strauss)
Here are my short reviews of each Guru.
Dating To Relating
Absolutely the BEST product out there.
The education you get from this book is tops. No matter what you are looking for you will get the answers here. If you want quick brainless techniques – they are here. If you want sophisticated cerebral understanding of women – it is here. It is not just a bunch of pick up lines, and techniques (although it gives you that too.) It is a complete education about women and what works.
What I really liked about this book is that the data is situational. Thus the data works for all kinds of guys who are looking to meet different types of women. So if you want to purchase a book that will have a very high probability of truly working for you, this is it.
That is what we liked about this book and system. The books by other gurus such as Deangelo, Strauss, and Mystery did not have situational data. Each of these other authors seemed to specialize in one type of repetitive technique for one type of situation, or one type of woman’s personality. Not Mr. L. Rx. He covers it all. From bars and clubs, to on the street, in the store, on the internet, etc.
Not only does Mr. L. Rx tell you how to meet women. He tells you how to meet different kinds of women with different kinds of personalities in different kinds of situations. No one else really does this.
Double Your Dating
Double Your Dating is an awesome compilation of data for men.
This is the biggest compilation of data to help men ever assembled in one place. Besides the original product David Deangelo now has scores of other products to help men overcome their fears and “wussiness” with women.
I personally bought his original product and his Dating Guru Interview series on CDs that come out monthly. There is a lot of value in David’s products. I’ve still subscribe to him and it has been five years that I have been buying his products. I think it is a perfect complement to Dating To Relating above , and I would recommend to anyone who has the extra money to get this product in addition to Dating To Relating above.
The reason being that Mr. L. Rx teaches you how to develop your own techniques and Double Your Dating gives you a lot of data to help stir your creative juices to help you develop those unique techniques. David has a free daily newsletter that is absolutely great.
The downside is he hasn’t quite put it all together as well as Mr. L. Rx. and although there is a lot of truth in his volumes of data Deangelo’s weakness is he hasn’t gotten the big picture as well as Mr. L. Rx and although he knows a lot of truths, he ultimately focuses on a scheme and doesn’t quite get the situational approach of Mr. L. Rx. So, David’s approach will work for some guys, but it isn’t a system that will work for ALL guys – Mr. L. Rx’s system is a system that will work for ALL guys and ALL types of girls.
Mystery Method and Style Life/The Game/Neil Strauss
Well you might ask why I am combining the Mystery Method with Neil Stauss’s (Style’s) The Game?
Well, some of you may not know this, but Mystery was Neil’s Guru and taught him a lot of what he knows. Their techniques are thus quite similar.
I am including them here (even though I only give them a four-out-of-ten rating) for the following reason. In conjunction with the above two products – “Dating To Relating” and “Double Your Dating” they can have decent value.
If you were to use these materials on thier own, they would probably not work for the average guy. Their techniques work, but they are more workable for guys who want to just pick up women in bars and clubs. If you are just looking for a girlfriend, I definitely wouldn’t recommend their materials.
And when you use the techniques on their own (without the more sophisticated understanding of women put forth in “Dating To Relating” and “Double Your Dating”), you yourself become rather shallow. And a lot of guys won’t be able to (or won’t want to) use the techniques for that reason.
Now, there is not anything at all wrong with being shallow, as sometimes you just want to get laid. But sometimes you want more than that. You are NOT going to get the MORE part from these techniques (unless you just derive it on your own from the sheer volume of experience.)
Mr. L. Rx in Dating To Relating, apparently evolved almost the exact same techniques as Mystery on his own and gives them to you in “Dating To Relating” ( And since he is older than Mystery he was probably the first one using these techniques.)
But Mr. L. Rx. also tells you many more techniques. Mr. L. Rx shows you how to pick up the other 80% of women in clubs and the other 90% of women in life that these techniques won’t work on. He tells you how to get a “real” relationship and how to pick up “real” (non-shallow) women.
The techniques that Neil and Mystery teach are very powerful and definitely will work, but you may not like who you become when you use these techniques and you may not like the type of women you attract with these techniques.
Plus a major drawback is that a lot of their techniques are just memorized lines . Even Neil Strauss has admitted that “The Game is changing.” So many guys have learned his and Mystery’s pick up lines and routines that women have heard them before and recognize them and men are getting busted for using them.
There are even gurus on the internet who took Mystery’s training and were successful at it, but gave it up and don’t practice it anymore. In one of David DeAngelo’s Interviews, he interviews David M. who had become an Internet Dating Guru and quite frankly states he did not enjoy doing the Mystery Method even though he graduated and was successful at it.
So if you can more or less learn the exact same techniques plus a lot more from Mr. L. Rx, why then am I also recommending Mystery/Neil Strauss?
The value of these materials is like the to what I said in the Double Your Dating section above. Mystery goes into more details about the method than Mr. L. Rx does. So, if you are really interested in being a “player” as your life’s ambition, there is value in getting this data in conjunction with Mr. L. Rx’s data.
Mr. L. Rx gives you a lot more data and techniques and ways to be a “player” if that is what you are interested in, but Mystery gives you more in depth information on the bar and club type techniques than Mr. L. Rx.
The value of Neil Strauss’s book “The Game” is that it gives you a very interesting sort of historical application of the techniques to think with. Again, this can be very useful.
Neil has also evolved Mystery’s techniques on his own and will give you a slightly different but similar view on things and has his own website and workshops in addition to his book “The Game.”
So if you are a guy like me and insanely want to learn everything you can about meeting women , then I would say these materials (The Mystery Method and “The Game”) are also a MUST for your library in addition to “Dating To Relating” and “Double Your Dating.”
