"Dating to Relating" or "Double Your Dating" anyone?

Hey all,

I'm trying to beef up on the literature out there before BC starts and wondered if anyone had read either David DeAngelo or Dr. L. Rx's books. Are they worth the purchase?

There's a site online that compares them and makes L. Rx's book sound like the greatest thing ever
invented.

don't think either of those are necessary.

Read the books suggested in the pre bootcamp homework assignments. It's all you need and cheaper.

Krazykat,

Several years ago, I read "How To Succeed With Women." This was probably back in 2003. I really don't remember, but it was quite a few years ago. That didn't really do all that much for my dating life, and that was back in the day when I didn't even know that "the game" existed. Hell, I thought women were some unknown alien species. Then, a couple of years after that, I read DYD, but that still didn't help me. In fact, it made things even worse for me because the "cocky funny" person described in DYD simply isn't congruent with my personality. I'm sure that if it is congruent with yours, hell, it might work out for you. I later tried methods from other schools, including a systematic implementation of the Mystery method, as described in his book. I also read the game.

Having done all these things, observed them not work for me, and then taking the ABCs bootcamp, and observing my romance life become better than ever, it would be difficult for me to recommend that you read/pre-game with anything other than the ABCs of Attraction recommended reading list, as well as the ABCs of Attraction pre-bootcamp homeworks.

However, this is your journey. You must make your own decision on what you think is the right course of action. Feel free to follow the same path that I did-- read some of the stuff from the other schools, and then decide later. My observations from my own life, and my observations of several students have shown me that the more material from varying schools that people read, the more they get confused and are less able to romantically connect with women.

Krazy Kat,

I haven't read either of those so I can't comment on those.

A couple of people's weakests points I see at BC's are:
-poor speaking voice - too soft, too fast, no volume, thick accent, etc.
-poor posture
-not being able to hook a set.
-Asian Poker face

I don't know what level you're at, but if you spent a ton of time improving those qualities you'd be much further along.

That said, you should stick to the pre-BC assignments. :-)

Hey YellowCab! You're an "oldie" like me, right? Did you prep your own canned approaches and stories before BC? I assume there's not going to be time to memorize them during BC. Also, the two I saw in my pre-BC assignment seemed more geared to club environments. So I'm making up some of my own. I'm basing it on stuff I've read online. Is that workable? Thanks!

PS -- I am field-testing my stuff and it is interesting to see the reactions. I try to view the whole thing as like a "laboratory process" so that rejections won't sting so much.

My expreience is DYD cocky and funny stuff does not work on asian girls. Especially fobs. the one caveot it is it does work, if the girl knows she hot and has a lot of self confidence and likes to verbally spar with you. But I dunno many asian girls that fit that profile.

I read Dr. L. Rx's book "Dating to Relating" before any PUA material. It doesn't give you any exact method, but gets you into the mindset, so it's more inner game stuff. Unfortunately, most of the book keeps referring you to his other e-articles that you can purchase so it's not really complete. Compared to everything else I've read, it's 3/10. I ended up selling it back on Amazon and someone did buy it.
