Introduction
Released in 2001, the Double Your Dating ebook is widely considered to be the best dating system for men available on the market. Before Double Your Dating hit the internet, the only options available for men looking to improve their skills with women was a newsgroup, the occasional message board, and hypnosis-based seduction products, none of which were quite acceptable in the mainstream, a trend which Double Your Dating was the first to buck.

David DeAngelo, a former member of the underground “seduction community,” who used to post to the Cliff’s List Seduction Newsletter under the pseudonym Sisonpyh, discarded all other methods being taught at the time and developed his own idea about what attracts women, and encapsulated his findings in this ebook.

His basic philosophy can be boiled down to the now well-accepted notion of “Cocky and Funny,” a phrase David DeAngelo and the success of his ebook and seminars has been able to popularize.

The philosophy behind “Cocky and Funny” is meant to teach men how to play the part of the “Coquette” with women. Coquettes are people who are able to orchestrate a back-and-forth movement between hope and frustration. They bait with the promise of reward – the hope of physical pleasure, happiness, fame by association, power – which always seems to prove elusive; yet this form of “dangling the carrot” in front of their targets only makes women pursue them more.

A Coquette seems totally self-sufficient: they do not need women, they seem to say, and their narcissism proves to be devilishly attractive. Women want to conquer them, but they hold the cards. The strategy of the Coquette is never to offer total satisfaction. The alternating heat and coolness of the Coquette keeps women nipping at their heels.

For most men, the art of being a Coquette is elusive. Before Double Your Dating came along, this skill was either reserved for men who came about this attitude naturally, or men who were abusive assholes. What David DeAngelo did with Double Your Dating was break the art of Coquetting down to a teachable structure that all men could learn to use when dealing with women – something no one else up to that time had been able to do.

The Good
The book is very well-written and professional looking. The font size is normal, so you get a lot of info per page (ie: The font isn’t ballooned up to help fill space and only make the book seem longer than it is). You truly get 90 pages worth of info in this document.

The book is also structured in an easy to read and logical progression. It starts off with a good amount of theory and philosophy, and moves into more concrete techniques designed to teach the reader what to do with women. Compared to the spastic, amateurish, and dis-jointed writing of other seduction products on the market, this book reads like a Godsend. No doubt David DeAngelo had the book edited to read this well.

David DeAngelo also shares a great deal of personal insights and experiences with the reader. One of the best examples of this is found in Chapter 8 of the book, “Getting Physical,” where David D goes into great detail about how he goes from being on a date with a woman to getting down to business (if you know what I mean). This is a great chapter because lots of guys don’t know how to escalate to the physical aspect of a date, but here, David D. shares a first-person example of how he does it in a clear and decisive way. Here’s an example from page 87:

This is a big piece of the puzzle that I’ve figured out… I used to do all kinds of massages and other stuff, but I now use the simple hair stroke test. If they like their hair stroked, they are at VERY LEAST going to be making out with me in short order, period. I’ll occasionally do a hand massage here, or a little neck massage, but next I pull her close to me and cuddle with here… and then land the killer.

Probably the best part of the book is Section 2, which encapsulates the chapters “How To Develop A Personality That Is Irresistible To Women,” “How To Use Communication And Humor To Attract Women,” and “On Looks and Body Language.” This entire section, which encompasses about 37 pages of the book, deals with nothing but strategies on how to attract a woman.

David D breaks down the six things he believes women find attractive. They are:

1. Means (wealth, possessions, gifts to them or providing for them)
2. Power (influence, leadership, safety)
3. Fame
4. Looks (including height)
5. Exclusivity (royalty, already married, hard to get, affiliation)
6. Personality (humor, creativity, romance, intelligence, mystique, etc.)

David D. then goes on to focus on the fact that though 1-5 are out of your control for the most part, number 6 is something you do have complete control over and you can use to your advantage when getting women to be attracted to you. He then goes on to break down personality traits that women find the most attractive. They are:

1. Humor
2. Intelligence and Creativity
3. Education
4. Class and Culture
5. Dominant
6. Thoughtfulness
7. Notices Details
8. Preditcably Unpredictable
9. Enthusiastic, Fun, Happy
10. Adventurous
11. Aggressive
12. Confident/Cocky
13. Expertise
14. Attention
15. Challenging
16. Charming
17. Romantic Imagination and Perspective
18. Good Body Language
19. Sexual Mastery

With that out of the way, David D goes on to explain how you can combine all these traits into your communication and how that can attract women to you. Here’s an excerpt to give you an idea of what David D recommends:

1. Never give a woman a direct answer… unless the answer is NO. This is a big one. If she says “Can we sit here?” I say “No, let’s sit in this one next to it” or if she says “How do you like my dress?” I say “Well, I think that I like it… just give me a few minutes to see it on you” or if she says “Call me tomorrow” I say “No. You call me tomorrow… common, you want me and you know it” Get it?

2. If she complains about you or doesn’t like something, turn it up a notch and do it more. If she says to me “I don’t really like it when you say that” I say “Well then you might want to leave, because I say it a lot” Get it?

3. Women are CONSTANTLY testing to see if they can get you to comply with them, and as soon as you do, they hit the road (or marry you). This took me years to see and understand, but the fact is that when you’re dealing with a powerful, hot woman, she will do all different kinds of things that make no sense at all logically, but all the sense in the world when you understand her mindset. Hot women can have anything they want. What they want is a challenge… something that keeps their interest. Here it comes… If a woman can have anything she wants anytime she wants it, then WHY THE HLL DO GUYS THINK THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE INTERESTING BY DOING THE SAME THING THAT EVERY OTHER GUY HAS DONE? Duh. Hey, I used to think this way… but then I got a clue. Now, I pay very careful attention, and never let her have what she wants. If she says “Kiss me” I say “No” if she says come over to my house I say “I’m busy right now, I’ll come over later” if she says “I want you so bad, please make love to me” I say “well, I think you need to wait a little longer, and besides, I’m not finished kissing you” Get it? I NEVER give a woman exactly what she asks for… EVER!

4. Always send mixed signals. Tell her I want to be friends, and kiss her. Tell her that what she just did was unacceptable, then go kiss her. Spank her if she does something nice. Also, respond differently to the same thing. For example, one time if she comes over and sits on my lap, I kiss her. Another time I push her off… get it? Never be predictable… NEVER.

But by far, the best stuff that David DeAngelo has to offer in the book is his material on how to tease women. This is really where Double Your Dating shines. Most guys fall into the trap of supplicating to women and being “too nice.” This will usually land you in the dreaded “let’s just be friends” zone.

But when you know how to properly tease a woman, you are able to create sexual tension in your interaction with her, and the use of Cocky/Funny, alternating between hot and cold, just intensifies that tension before it reaches it’s inevitable outcome.

Here’s an example of how David D likes to tease women:

When I first met one particular girl, I took her hand when she got into the car and held it for a few seconds… then took it away saying “No hand holding this early” as if it were her idea… then at lunch, I put out my hand for her to take it, and then when she went to take it, I moved it before she touched me… then did it again… and again saying “No, really…”

Finally, after the meal was finished, I reached out for her hand and she wouldn’t take mine because I had teased her so much, so I actually grabbed her hand and held it and massaged it. This was teasing and teasing. And then when she finally gave up I gave it to her.

Then, when I gave her a hug later on, she kissed me on the cheek/neck a couple of times and I accused her of kissing me a lot etc. (Idea is that she’s into me and she’s the aggressor). One part of this is me doing something (holding her had) and then accusing her of doing it (“no hand holding this early”).

This kind of behavior, sending mixed messages, and flirting doesn’t really make sense to most men, but to women it’s magic.

David D also places a lot of emphasis on being funny. He’s fond of saying that no matter what shortcomings you have, how ugly you may be, that if you can get a woman to laugh consistently, you’ll get her attracted to you.

He goes into detail on how to be funny around women, along with how your voice should sound, what your body language should be like, and the signs to look for to see if a woman is interested in you. He even goes into a few “Cold Reading” methods as well.

He rounds out the book by detailing how to meet women, and how to keep her attracted to you and have a long term relationship.

The Bad
Though the book does read professionally, there are the occasional grammar mistakes, such as missing words or wrong tenses, but they’re so few and far in between, it’s not that big of a deal, and compared to the atrocious writing in other ebooks, not something to really complain about.

One drawback I found when reading Double Your Dating was that sometimes David’s more philosophical sections got a little hard to read. This may have just been my interest wanning, or my ADD acting up, but I consistently found myself skimming over certain parts to get to some of the meatier techniques he lays out in the book.

There are a few things David espouses that I have found, through personal experience, to be wrong. For instance, in the section of the book that teaches men to be funny, he states:

Don’t smile too much, and don’t laugh at your own jokes very often. When you smile or laugh, it releases the tension. If you can keep a straight face, the joke stays funnier longer.

I’ve found that women like it when you smile. I smile very often around women. Smiling is probably the easiest thing to do to make yourself look attractive and give off a good vibe. To read Double Your Dating, you may come away with the impression that you always want to come off as serious around a woman.

His other philosophy of “never give a woman a direct answer unless it’s no” can also be a real deal breaker. I have had some real bad experiences using this tactic. It might be okay to skirt the answer one or two times, but any more than that and it’s gonna stop being cute to the girl and start getting annoying, to the point where they think you’re hiding something from them (which is not a good thing if you’ve just met the girl). Giving women direct answers won’t be the end of the world. If you want to play around a bit and avoid the question one or two times, that’s fine, but never more than that.

In the book, David D also recommends never asking for a woman’s phone number and going for her email address instead, the idea behind this being that women may be hesitant to give out their numbers, because of the dating stigma attached to it, but that they are cool with giving out their email because it’s not as personal, and that you can have an easier time getting a date through this “under the radar” method.

Personally, I’ve found this method to be hit or miss. I usually have better luck asking for numbers than emails. Sending a girl an email is the equivalent of leaving a voice message on their answering machine. It’s out of your hands and up to her to contact you. Not good. Women who don’t check their email often can sit on that for days and by the time they get to it, they may have forgotten you or lost interest. With the number, you can keep calling without leaving a message and catch them on the phone at your convenience. This isn’t to say email and instant messaging are bad forms of communication, but I tend to look at them as secondary to phone numbers.

I also found the section of the book that deals with approaching women quite light. David D does give some good tactics on meeting women, but if you have a fear of approaching or rejection, you’ll find this chapter to be lacking.

Speaking of chapters that are lacking, the final chapter on relationships is only a mere page and a half long, and doesn’t really go into any detail like he did with the attraction stuff. To be fair, though, Double Your Dating isn’t a book about relationship maintenance, it’s about how to meet women. But a substantial chapter on this subject would have been preferable to the 2 or 3 paragraphs David D throws out at the end of the book.

Also – one of the biggest complaints I have about the course is that when you buy it, you’re encouraged to subscribe to David DeAngelo’s interview series, which is $19.95 per month.

Now, some people may not want to commit to $19.95 a month, but you actually have to tell them you DON’T WANT THIS option when ordering. I found myself buying the product and accidentally ordering it because I didn’t notice the option to opt out.

Not only that, but the interview series David DeAngelo puts out isn’t all that great. He offers very little advice on his own, and the people he interviews more often than not are fakers or lamers who have no business giving advice on the subject.

A lot of the interviews are incredibly boring as well. I would definitely recommend not getting this option if you do get the course.

The Company

David DeAngelo’s company is quite professional. You don’t have to worry about not getting a refund or recieving your product after your order. Their customer support is top notch.

They also have their terms and privacy policy clearly accessible from the front page of their website, which is always a good sign.

The Verdict

Definitely Recommend.

Despite a few short comings here and there, Double Your Dating is a fantastic guide for guys looking to increase their success with women. It really lays out some fantastic inner game concepts and solid attraction techniques. Some guys who have real problems with social interactions may not get as much out of this book as average guys, but then again, it’s not written for them. David DeAngelo wrote this book for the “average guy” who populates the mainstream marketplace.

When you go to a Double Your Dating seminar, you will often see normal looking guys who are just looking to do better with women, rather than pathetic, anti-social virgins you may find at other similar events.

Some people argue that Double Your Dating isn’t a complete system, but the ebook is fairly complete in terms of how to attract a woman to you. It may not be the most detailed book on the subject, but it lays out all the basics in a clear and easy to understand way. If you only buy the ebook, as opposed to the multitude of other products with the Double Your Dating banner attached to them, you’ll get a lot out of it.

I highly recommend this book to anybody who’s looking to improve their social life and meet more women. Especially if you’re just starting out with getting this area of your life under control and you don’t know where to start. Every veteran in the seduction community has the Double Your Dating ebook as part of his collection, and you should too.
