Okay, it's Monday, it's another week, and I'm back from last week's Double Your Dating Mastery Seminar. And boy, do I have a LOT to report on!

In fact, there's so much to report on, that I'm just going to take the whole week and blog on this sucker. I'm not going to go into any specifics on the material David D. came up with, because I signed a release form before going into the seminar, but I will touch on the generalities of it.

Most of these reports are going to focus on the Guest Speakers and their material, some insights into the audience and how they responded to the material, what happened after the seminar, my own personal experiences at the seminar, and some of the drama that went on behind the scenes.

There's a ton of great material to get into. Today, I'm going to go into some detail about day 1. The real "meat" of the seminar was on days 3 & 4, and there was definitely a lot of great stuff to talk about.

So anyway, onto the seminar… DAY 1

The Good

The seminar took place at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel out near LAX. This is a really nice hotel on the inside, though from the outside it leaves a little to be desired. The seminar started off on a Thursday, and was going to go for a marathon 4 days! It was a bright and sunny morning on April the 29th, 2004, so things were off to a good start.

On day one, David DeAngelo made it clear that this was going to be a different type of seminar than what we are all used to. The material he covered on this day dealt a great deal with that sticky wicket that every aspiring "Ladies Man" has to deal with – namely, inner game.

But this wasn't just inner game in relation to women and sex and whatnot. This was inner game relating to ALL areas of life. Almost all of his new material had to do with success in life in general, and not just with women. Most of this was directly applicable to business in particular, as some of the psychology behind it is applied to all types of endeavors.

One of the bolder things David talked about was the "Dark Side" of human behavior/consciousness/psychology/biology. "Dark" in the sense of how we as humans move through the world and let it affect us. One of his primary concepts in this part of the seminar was that of "Projection IS Perception." Meaning that what we project onto the world is how we perceive it, not the other way around.

He also laid out a great method of success in any endeavor, that being:

Plan --> Do --> Study --> Act

This means that you plan out your course of action, you execute the plan, you study the results of your actions and make the corrections necessary, and finally you act on those corrections. This is a cyclical plan, so after Acting, you revert back to Planning and do the whole thing over again.

In dealing with the Dark Side, David D. also got into the Psychology of the "Wussy," a mainstream term he's coined to replace the more common acronym of "AFC" (Average Frustrated Chump) . "Wussy" is defined as a cross between a "wimp" and a "pussy." This was an extremely interesting section because David broke down pretty much every behavior and all the psychology that goes into being a lame-ass in all areas of life.

David then went on to talk about "weapons of influence," and various concepts that people can use to influence others. But the best part of Day 1, in my opinion, was David's talk about how to have long term success with women, and long term success in life. Namely, this came down to having a "Life Purpose," or

"Life Path." Most men do not have a life path. They don't know where they're going, and because of this, their life is out of control, without focus. He made it clear that in order to have a life path, you must never let anything become more important than that path or purpose, especially women.
