Review August 2010 Dallas bootcamp

I took the Dallas bootcamp as a first step toward making some major changes in my lifestyle, and all in all, I believe this was well worth my time and money. The small group size (only 2 other students) made it easy for the instructors to tailor the bootcamp to our individual needs. Kevin Feng and Johnny Malibu did a great job of breaking down the ABCs approach into bits and pieces that were easy to digest. Kevin, the lead instructor, was easy-going, up-front without being condescending, and committed to making sure we all got our money's worth. Johnny Malibu was the intern for the bootcamp, but I think of him as a co-instructor. At first, I was a little skeptical that a white guy with a laid-back party animal vibe could relate to me, the stereotypical type A asian engineer, but his insights quickly convinced me that he understood where I was coming from and had the knowledge and experience to dramatically improve my pickup game and my image. Overall, I was impressed by how easily both Kevin and John zeroed in on my faults and were able to offer some straightforward ways of addressing them.

I found that the most useful aspects of the bootcamp were getting practice with doing approaches, including direct openers (props to John for pushing me) and getting specific feedback on the image that I project to others, including fashion and hair. While I still have much to improve on in my pickup game, I now recognize the importance of having high energy and confidence when opening sets. As far as room for improvement for the bootcamp, most of our time spent in the field was at one venue, and I would have liked a little more variety. I also would have preferred that some of the day 3 lecture material (like AMOGGING) be covered on day 2 so that we could have used this on our second night out. I think more time spent with bantering/smalltalk and body positioning during approaches would improve the course.

While I don’t expect the lessons learned from the bootcamp to be a panacea for all my problems with women and dating, taking the bootcamp opened my eyes to what is possible and equipped me with some tools that I could start to use on my own right away. I could easily envision many of the skills I gained from the bootcamp spilling over into other areas of my life in a positive way over time. Overall, I highly recommend the bootcamp for men at any level in their pickup skills, but especially for those that need that extra push when it comes to approaching women.

Thanks for glowing review. I'm glad to hear that the boot-camp was a good experience. Believe it or not.. at one time I was at the same starting point which is why I was pushing you. I know that your passive value has been raised 200% after graduation. I expect that you will be receiving many compliments on the haircut from co-workers and new lady friends.

Keep building on your momentum and ask any questions that you may have. You just don't want to let down until these set of skills are ingrained and you are able to 0 and 1 it.. I mean turn it off and on at will.

Put me on speed dial and keep up your end of the bargain.. I'm not joking about doing the river-dance half naked in public when I get that call. Although... I better take my ass to the fat farm and knock off the recent weight I've gained partying, because I think I see a bright future!

I've exchanged email with a previous student from Houston and working on hooking you guys up.

BTW... I'm attaching a never seen before present.. that's right. Because I take your change seriously and just to open your eyes some. This pic represents the start of my journey from a 1 girlfriend dumped computer engineer - internet architect to happily successful with women.
