I have a lot of friends who have bought the Mastery series and lots of other DYD products. And they love them!!! BUT -- they are still not getting laid!
They love them because the stuff in the series SOUNDS like it could work -- but they never find out if it ACTUALLY does, because they don't go out and approach women enough. That's the failing of an e-book or DVD or sosuave.com or any form of seduction INFORMATION...if you don't put it into practice, it does you no good. Which is the benefit of live in-field workshops -- the instructors make you put it into practice in exactly the right way in hundreds of sets.
Also, I think DYD puts way too much emphasis on ****y/funny. Guys love ****y/funny because it makes girls *look* like they're attracted to them. Like, they get all giggly and flirty. BUT, what those guys don't realize, is that this is only SURFACE ATTRACTION, not real attraction. Once you stop talking to the girl, if you don't have value to her, she will forget her feelings of surface attraction and flake on you. ****y/funny is cool when used in moderation and in the right way, but you also have to learn how to convey value through bodylanguage, vibe, voice, social proof, style, dress, storytelling ability, qualifying ability, etc. This is very important concept which Woodhaven taught me. If you're curious to learn exactly why ****y/funny is not real attraction, PM me.
And plus, why would you ever spend money to learn from somebody who can't get women himself? I am sure David DeAngelo is not a total chump, but from all reports, he gets laid less than I do. Seduction instruction is great, and good instruction can take years of your learning curve in your journey towards becoming a DJ. But, if you're going to pay for instruction, make sure its from someone who's a REAL pick-up artist and isn't just talking out of his @ss.
