Although I read the DJ bible, I feel that finding a mentor would be awesome and fun but I'm a bit lost to where and how I could make friends with one without looking desperate for girls or being really clueless (ego).


Although not quite AFC I was reading the Sapiens and GH journey and found it to be a very good read and experience if taking GH's part.

By the way if you live in Queensland, Australia that'll be awesome so we can share DJ skills. Also if you live in Townsville that would be AWESOME too, I live on campus in uni and plenty of international students too. Let me know


Have you guys ever made it big with the help of a mentor? There was one guy I was good friends with but I was embarassed to ask for help and feel like a real chump to get advice.

For the past year, I've been playing the DJ game mostly by myself. I rarely meet people with people - most of my friends are way too cowardly for that. They prefer to sit at their own table.

One of the best things I've done is make a few friends who don't give a hoot what people think about them. It doesn't matter if they are successful with women or not, really, well at least for me. Personally, I am still terrified of approaching people, and that's what I want to overcome. But yea, when you make some pals who are free like that, you feel free. It's amazing.

People say you should choose your friends wisely, and it's especially true when you are trying to improve your lovelife.

Now it must be said, it's extraordinarily embarrassing to say to these people "I'm a pathetic, spineless amoeba, and I want to approach those little, harmless women over there, but I'm too frightened. Will you kick my ass and help me do something so pathetically easy?"

It's like asking someone if they will help you spell your last time.

It's an embarrassing confession to make to a friend, but that's what friends are for, and it's worth doing. It's so worth it. It'll change your life.

A mentor isn't necessary. The best DJs out their are their own mentors. But it's important to make friends that are free.

I also think it would be cool to get a mentor. Not worth 5stacks though.

But I also dont need as much help as GH.

Just need some peer pressure to force me to approach more. I just need to shatter the bubble Im trapped in.

I'm looking for a wingman myself right now. What I can say is I'll find one out and about eventually I'm 100% certain. I can pick up on tiny things other guys say to me that tells me they're into this stuff. Then you stab in the dark and fire out a few DYD/DJ ideas in the air. By this time you'll know how alpha he is, and have a reasonible idea as to whether he's an alpha male or not. Then if he starts putting across the right ideas or material spill the beens on looking for a wingman.

Once he's your wingman start sharing material with him cos that way you'll both learn faster.

Anyway, I'm just working solo right now. I'm looking for a Wingman in the Edinburgh area tho so if any1's interested gimme a shout.

I would highly recommend that you have a DJ mentor, but you don't necessarily need to ASK that person to be a mentor or anything.

Just find someone around the same age as you, maybe a little older, who has the same interests/style and is successful with women. Become good friends with this person. Go out with them as often as possible and watch what they do that makes them effective. This person will also function as your wingman. I guarantee your game will develop much faster if you have someone like this than if you just try to figure things out on your own.

Agreed. I remember when I first read about wingmen I was thinking 'what are these jackasses up to?' Then over time, on my journey, I realised that this gut level reaction comes from a mindset of chasing women and that actually having a wingman was extremely valuable.

No guy has a truer friend than his wingman. Someone who you trust that implicetly. It's important for your game. It's important for your learning and it's especially important in the initial phases as it FORCES you to follow through and gives you someone to laugh at rejection with.

Anyway. Wingmen are invaluable. You can play this game solo - I know I've been doing it for months now but somehow it's not the same.

haha, I live in Townsville... still have a lot to learn in the art of DJ'ing though..

A mentor would be pretty good actually... help you with confidence and stuff maybe.. probably wouldn't be able to tell you too many tricks not already on this site though.
