Double Your Dating Review

David DeAngelo has been a major contributor to the Seduction Community; he is widely credited, alongside Neil Strauss (Author of The Game) for taking the science of seduction mainstream, with his “Double Your Dating” e-book. Having been one of the principle players in the seduction community, especially commercially, for the past decade, his e-book has attracted a great deal of interest.

Double Your Dating begins with the declaration that the book is not an encyclopaedia to being successful with women; it’s not the bible of seduction…it’s a reference book and should be used accordingly. With more than ten years of approaches, pick ups and interactions with women…it’s a reference book I was dying to read.

Upon reading only the first few pages of Double Your Dating, it quickly became apparent what this book was about. Double Your Dating is about giving you practical, useable advice, and the right frame of mind to get you out of the house and out to pickup women. It’s not simply a collection of “Cocky Funny” lines and routines, these are the basic foundations of pickup, no amount of learnt openers or canned routines are going to work if you’re not coming from the right place, you‘ll simply learn a lot of stuff that you cant really use in the real world. This book gives you the basic knowledge of natural pickup and a comprehensive understanding as to why and how it works. This helps your frame, it also brings you to the realisation that it’s not just what you say, but how you say it. After all, how could you deliver “You look gorgeous, can I have your autograph” without learning the principals of pickup and not taking yourself too seriously.

This touches on another topic…where guys complain about these attraction skills not being allowed to be their natural selves. David DeAngelo states that the majority of guys have no idea how to act around, or attract women…and it is their natural selves that repel women in the first place (Just be yourself…geez, thanks Mum!). By practicing and internalizing the information presented in the book, guys are then given the privilege to behave as their natural selves. According to DeAngelo, Being yourself is an earned privilege and not a right.

DeAngelo’s book is not armchair theory, it’s from his own personal experiences, it’s been field tried and tested, so you can be sure this stuff works. David DeAngelo briefly goes back a few thousand years and identifies the psychological factors in women that have not changed up unto this day. There are inherit differences between the way women and men think, feel, and behave. By taking advantage of these differences instead of letting them confuse us like they do to most guys; we are able to become more successful with women.

Many men new to attraction and the whole “pick-up scene” make the mistake of assuming that women are only interested in handsome, tall, wealthy, and powerful men…it’s true, women are attracted to these men, but luckily…not exclusively. David teaches that women are naturally attracted to handsome, tall, wealthy, or powerful men. These characteristics instinctively trigger a woman’s natural feelings of attractiveness, but a man who learns attraction building skills is able to elicit not only the same feelings within her, but perhaps even more powerful feelings. DeAngelo concludes that what matters is not necessarily how tall, handsome or rich you are…but how you make a women feel, personality and communication is the most powerful way to do illicit these qualities to a woman.

What particularly stood out about the e-book for me was the emphasis on self improvement and change. I found that the book was far more committed to changing a man into the natural seducer he was designed to be than it was to teach a bunch of lines and routines. The mindset that to be good at something you must really want to improve was an everlasting impression. Undoubtedly the e-book is going to help guys are just interested in learning a few lines and routines; after all…it’s probably going to work. But, in my opinion those who will benefit most are the ones that practice and commit to David DeAngelo’s teachings. This attitude and approach to Double Your Dating will have a double barrelled effect, as pushing yourself to become good at something is a very attractive quality.

The second principle of constantly improving yourself will do all guys a miracle in becoming more emotionally and physically attractive.

David teaches guys many activities in the e-book that I recommend to people for improving attitude, changing negative beliefs to empowering beliefs, and psychological improvement. These exercises improve many areas of ones life and are not just limited to helping guys become more successful with women. He gives good strategies on how to not let the fear of approaching women stop men from succeeding with dating. The advice he gives on removing fear which so many guys are burdened with are incredibly powerful.

Another interesting point worth noting is “ass kissing” behaviour like buying a woman’s affection is to be avoided at all times. The basis of the book is transforming these natural tendencies guys have into more challenging behaviours. A guy who is in control of his life and is able to tease women in a fun way communicates many attractive behaviours to a woman. The opposite of this is conveyed when buying chocolates and gifts for women.

“I’ve never advised guys to just use “traditional” communication skills like complimenting to get women interested. “Ass kissing” behaviour is a big no-no and will usually hurt the level of attraction a woman feels. In any situation where the motive behind complimenting is manipulative, you can be sure to expect a poor response from women. These skills are risky everywhere and just not the dating world.” David D particularly emphasises this point and presents some very interesting communication styles that are designed to grab a woman’s attention. The communication styles and personality traits he advises men to develop go back to the instinctive attraction triggers most women don’t even know they have, these are the triggers that ‘turn them on‘. He explains that behaviours like complimenting a woman get in the way of attraction and in fact do you a disservice.

The personality styles which turn on women are by itself enough reason to check out the e-book. These personality styles go beyond personalities that women love and are an entire life-changing “mindset”. One particular personality style of many I’ll share with you to demonstrate what I’m talking about is the “aggressive” personality. This personality isn’t about beating up women or being a jerk. The aggression refers to pursuing a goal with passion, persistence, and determination. A woman becomes attracted to a man who works aggressively towards his passionate goal. It communicates energy, protection, security, and a future outlook which ties in with the traits women are instinctively attracted to. This is really powerful stuff and certainly isn’t something that I’ve come across elsewhere.

Quite possibly the greatest thing about Double Your Dating which was added in the second edition is the action exercises after every chapter. I cannot stress enough the need to practice any type of skill. Practicing is especially important in the dating world because fear unnecessarily prevents both men and women from dating success. A lot of people develop their fears from thinking too much and having a lack of experience. The action exercises act like little steps to get guys where they want to be in the dating world. These steps backed by a lot of real-world advice from the author means guys can go from not even being able to approach a girl too having a great long-term relationship.

Overall, I liked this book a lot. David DeAngelo’s style of writing was casual, sharp and extremely witty. There are numerous lines given throughout the book, and to be honest…a lot of them were pretty good. As I stated earlier, this book is a reference to being successful with women, therefore it isn’t filled with lines and routines. The lines that are included in the book are so mainly for demonstation and emergency purpose.

Double You Dating is a powerful reference for creating the “whole mindset” you must have if you want to… “double your dating” and attract the kind of women you desire into your life. I know guys who have done more than double there dating and a few have even credited this book with changing there life.

In conclusion, if you’re looking to take control of your love life and be more successful with women, Double Your Dating is a great place to start and perhaps even finish.
