Knowing David DeAngelo

Eben W. Pagan a.k.a. David DeAngelo, is very popular in the dating and pickup community. Not as a pickup artist like Mystery or Julian Foxx but as a dating expert. He was a student of Ross Jeffries and was known as Sisonpyh but he separated and developed his own methods and beliefs. He authored the Double Your Dating ebook which is a series of dating tutorials and was also the sole product of DeAngelo's enterprise, "Double Your Dating." Though he also released other products about dating like Advanced Dating series and Deep Inner Game.

Some of the dating terms that were popularized by David DeAngelo are:

* The Inner Wuss: a character trait of men developed through time that causes them to become submissive around women in order to get their approval. Pagan claims that women prefer men who are of higher status than they.
* Cocky and funny: also known as 'cocky comedy' can be called flirting, this refers to combination of arrogance and humor. A humorous mock arrogance intended to communicate with intelligence and being 'a challenge'. Pagan points out that it is important to get the balance right, as just using 'cocky' "comes across as insecure, and comedy alone usually comes across as goofy and dumb." "Cocky and Funny" is often abbreviated as "C&F."
* Counterintuitive behavior: Pagan's description of some of his techniques to attract women, as they are the opposite of what most people think is attractive. Examples of such behavior include teasing a woman offhandedly and refusing to compliment her appearance. Can also be phrased as Don't behave in a boring or predictable way.
* Life changes: Pagan reiterates that the purpose of his programs is to effect a complete personality and lifestyle change among men that will help them achieve dating success.
* Emulate the Successful: Pagan encourages the following and emulation of those successful with women. He records interviews with those very successful in dating and releases them monthly as part of a subscription service.
* Sexual Communication: Pagan's principle of a 'secret mating language' or 'secret mating dance' that takes place between a man and a woman before they can mate.
* Reframing: Restructuring one's own beliefs set into a new one, such as changing self-doubt to positive thinking.

Neil Strauss

American author, Neil Strauss a.k.a Style, is very popular in the PUA community. His best-selling book, The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, is a great hit and contribution in the community. He's got a video with Julian Foxx wherein Foxx was challenging him in a friendly pickup contest. Strauss refused and passed on the challenge to Mystery.

Here's Julian Foxx's opinion about Neil Strauss:

In spite of his success, Neil was aware that there was one part of his life where he had dealt with constant failure: he just couldn't seem to get any action from the opposite sex. His obvious talent for writing wasn't of much assistance when it came to dating. He started researching online and found that there was a 'secret society of pickup artists' who consistently held meetings in order to sharpen their skills with women.

Strauss signed on for a bootcamp held by Mystery, and thus began the short journey that would very quickly transform into the best selling book: 'The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists'. The book was essentially a 'who's who' of pickup while the community was still in its infancy. It describes Strauss' rapid rise within the pickup community, morphing himself from Neil Strauss, well known writer, into 'Style', master pickup artist. Using the varying techniques he acquired from Mystery and a host of other gurus, Style eventually became known as the "No. 1 Pick-Up artist in the world" shortly after the books release.

'The Game' went on to become such a tremendous financial success that in late 2007, Neil wrote a sequel; 'The Rules of the Game.' Wanting to pass on his seduction knowledge to the community, Neil also created a school for pickup artists. Although it is extremely rare for Style to do 'live demonstrations' he shares his pickup ideas with the community freely.

Neil Strauss' contributions to the overall growth of the Seduction Community are undeniable.

Neil Strauss is undoubtedly a good author and his books have made a huge impact in the PUA community. It would be great also if we can see live video demonstrations from him using his knowledge in pickup. ;)

Dating Tips – If You Can’t Dance, Don’t!

So the moral of the story is…

If you can’t dance…DON’T

Now on the surface, that seems like a nice little piece of dating advice. But it goes much deeper than that…

It is a powerful metaphor that MUST be applied to every aspect of your game.

You see, as pickup artists we all have our own individual strengths and our own individual weaknesses.

Having a good sense of humor is obviously a strength and one which can be exploited when related to dating and relationships in general.

But right now I want to focus on our weaknesses… because we all got em.

There are the kinds of weaknesses we can change and there are the kinds we can’t. And it is up to you to decide which of your weaknesses are worth devoting time to improving.

But what I’m asking you to do is to make a list of your weaknesses and then go down that list and check off whichever ones are HIDEABLE.

For example, as previously stated, I am a terrible dancer… But I have the option NOT to dance and therefore not reveal that weakness. I am also a very messy eater… But I have the option NOT to take my date out to eat. (Or at the very least, I can avoid ordering the spaghetti.)

Identifying our own weaknesses is crucial, but by identifying which of our weaknesses can be masked and then doing so, we are taking our game to the next level.

So just remember…If you can’t dance…

Don’t.

Peace,

Julian
