T<\/span>his story is becoming all too frequent:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Derek, I used to hire a dating coach. Went to his seminars and bootcamps. Paid him lots of money. In the end, I got nothing but bullcrap that seemed to work only for him, and nobody else.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Dating coaches who can’t walk the talk? They are the norm and not the exception, my friend.<\/p>\n

But what worries me are not these impotent, “can’t-do-what-I-teach” types… because they are quite harmless, really.<\/p>\n

After all, when guys get scammed just once, they usually wise up and start to look for real, legitimate information. And thankfully, some of them find their way to me.<\/p>\n

What really bugs me are those big-time swindlers who lure guys into their mega $25,000 coaching seminars with their elaborate schemes and trickery.<\/p>\n

Once you fall into their trap, you ain’t gonna get out… for there will always be another coaching program, another seminar, and another expensive bootcamp to suck your coffers dry.<\/p>\n

Last September, one particularly famous “Pickup Artist” cum dating coach came up to my office to pitch a deal.<\/p>\n

His idea was to offer my Shogun Method clients a series of twelve seminars, conducted monthly, spread over a period of a year, priced at $12,500 each.<\/p>\n

Curious, I asked him why so many (twelve!) seminars, this was his sly answer:<\/p>\n

\n

“Derek, c’mon. These guys are beyond help. And everybody knows that there’s good money to be made in prolonging the problem.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Barely concealing my wrath, I kicked him out of my office.<\/p>\n

Only God knew how much I wanted to punch that smug ugly little douchebag’s face. In all seriousness, man… I could have murdered someone that day.<\/p>\n

OK, don’t get me wrong…<\/p>\n

Not all<\/em> dating coaches are bad. There are some good ones… it’s just that they are in the minority. And it’s terribly hard to tell the good from the bad.<\/p>\n

But here’s the good news: no matter what situation you’re in, chances are that you don’t need to hire an expensive dating coach to help you.<\/p>\n

In fact, many of our Shogun Method clients had previously attended coaching programs of some sort elsewhere, and they still came to us with all kinds of problems –<\/p>\n

“I can’t talk to women.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I have anxiety around women.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I am not very confident.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I can’t get this girl out on a date with me.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“She stopped returning my calls.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I can’t stop getting rejected by women.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I like this girl, but she has got a boyfriend.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I have a controlling girlfriend<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“My wife is a female psychopath<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“My girlfriend is leaving me.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“My wife is leaving me.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet a great majority of these problems go away immediately once guys stop using shallow, Pickup Artist-style tricks taught by most dating coaches…<\/p>\n

… and start embracing the darker side of female psychology<\/a> manipulation and Emotional Enslavement.<\/p>\n
