Vancouver Dating – Lifestyle Transformations Blog

In 2003, I completely changed my life.

I was young, insecure, and was hopeless with women and dating.

What changed everything was a friend forwarded a special link to a website that sold an e-book called “Double Your Dating“.

It was by a man named David DeAngelo.

During those days, there wasn’t a lot of resources on meeting women or dating for men.

There was virtually nothing available at the bookstores.  And all of the magazines, TV shows (like Oprah), were geared towards women and their problems.  But there was NOTHING available for men…

“This book is AMAZING… you gotta read it”, my friend told me.

Up until that point, I had lived my entire life completely skeptical and very close-minded.

I was a computer geek.  I spent countless hours infront of the computer or TV escaping from reality.

I remember back in high school, I would often skip school so that I could come home and be infront of my computer.

As a result, I was very isolated.  I was extremely shy.  I avoided any social situation.  Had very few friends – and of course zero women in my life.  I had nothing going on besides my video games and the comfort that I gained from that.

To buy this “Double Your Dating” e-book by David DeAngelo was a huge step for me.  But, for whatever reason, I did it.

I trusted my friend and deep down inside, I knew that I wasn’t happy with my life.  I knew that I wanted more – women in my life, unstoppable confidence, and to be happy.  But those kind of ideas were out of my reality at the time and I had no idea how to go about pursuing something like that.

Immediately when I bought Double Your Dating, I immediately printed it out.

Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down.  Lightbulbs were going off in my head constantly and I was completely stimulated by this new reality of “becoming successful with women”.

Up until that point, I thought that success with women was simply something that you either have or you don’t.  I’d see people that would have success with women and just think “they’re just born that way” or “they’re just lucky”.  I thought it was based on their looks or something that they had that I couldn’t attain.

Double Your Dating completely shattered that for me.  It made me realize and believe that I could actually IMPROVE and CHANGE my life and the results I get with women.  It opened up a new world of possibilities for me, and taught me that I have control over myself – that I could cultivate a personality that was attractive to women, and therefor attract women into my life.

This was a HUGE “aha” moment for me.

Through reading this e-book, I learned a LOT about women.  I learned what they respond to, and what “triggers” attraction.

There’s a famous David DeAngelo quote, “Attraction isn’t a choice.”

Meaning that women don’t CHOOSE who they are attracted to – it’s based on emotional triggers.  Once they are attracted to you, it doesn’t matter how much their friends say “he’s not right for you” or it doesn’t matter if you’re not her type – regardless, she WILL still be attracted to you.

David DeAngelo talked about how to communicate with women properly.  He’s famous for teaching a concept called “Cocky And Funny”, which is similar to our “Playful Teasing” concept.  I still remember applying Cocky and Funny to the women that I would meet over the years following 2003, and how effective it was.

He taught me about the importance of humor in attracting women.  I realized how NEEDY I was, and how BORING I was as well.  I learned what attracts women and what doesn’t.  And I learned that everything I was doing, thought and believed… was WRONG.

Like I said… lightbulb after lightbulb was going off.

This totally blew my reality.

I ended up reading the Double Your Dating e-book over 7 times that first week.  I consumed and applied as much of that information as possible.  It was pure gold for me.

David DeAngelo changed my life.  This initial e-book sparked me to pursue self-improvement and focus on becoming successful with women and dating.  It got me on the right track.

A few short months after that, I ended up meeting some local guys in Vancouver who were going out and meeting women.  I still remember the day going out with them along Robson Street and seeing all of this stuff in action.  Talk about another “aha” moment…

My first approach was in Pacific Centre and it was a girl working at a kiosk.  I was terrified, but I forced myself to do it with the help of a friend coaching me.  After that, I was hooked.  There was NOTHING that was going to stop me from being the man I wanted to be and mastering the art of attracting women.

Fast forward to 2011 and my life is completely different.  I am proud of who I’ve become and I’ve reached an incredible level of mastery and success with women that I never could have imaged was possible.  Over the last 4 years, I’ve been teaching and helping men with women and dating through seminars, bootcamps and coaching.  I’ve even written an e-book called Mastering Success With Women that’s been very successful.

But, it all started back in 2003 with Double Your Dating.

David DeAngelo shaped my destiny.

I would not be who I am or have had the successes I’ve had in my life if it wasn’t for him.

I’ve gone through many of his programs over the last 7-8 years – including the Advanced Series, Mastery Series, Interviews with Dating Guru’s, On Being A Man, Deep Inner Game, Man Transformation, Approaching Women, Body Language, Cocky Comedy, etc…

He has some REALLY amazing stuff.  All of his programs are of fantastic quality and very educational.

If you haven’t read Double Your Dating or checked out his other programs, you are seriously missing out.

I know there’s many people that are pursuing success with women and dating, but haven’t bothered to check out any of David DeAngelo’s stuff.  If this is you, this is a HUGE mistake you’re making.  David D’s stuff will definitely aid you on your journey and I can’t say enough good things about it.

I highly recommend you start out with his classic Double Your Dating e-book, then branch out to his other programs.

It’s helped me incredibly, and I have no doubt that it will for you too.

Today I was searching through old blog posts and I came across one written by a good friend Sean G. (not the Sean that currently coaches with LT).

It all started in the Vancouver Dating Community…

I wanted to share his article with you, as it’s very inspirational and there’s some valuable advice in it.  This article is dated back from November of 2008, back in the early days of Lifestyle Transformations.  Enjoy!

My Journey And Transformation With Meeting Women And Life

My name is Sean and I used to be addicted to women.

The story begins 6 years ago when I was burned by two girlfriends in a row. I was dating them each for a year and both of them ended up cheating on me. I was motivated to improve myself and that is what lead me to finding the Vancouver Dating community. Even though I was a pretty cool guy in Highschool playing hockey and knowing the cool people, I never had that much success with girls and when I did get one they would fuck someone else!

I stumbled upon a dating forum and through the wingman meetup forum I was introduced to Stefan of Lifestyle Transformations. Stefan wanted to improve his life because he was lonely and tired of just playing video games, watching TV and going nowhere in his life.

When we met, Stefan was shy, timid and quiet. He was the definition of a geek. When I met him I was thinking “I’m going to learn how to pickup women with this guy?” He introduced me to Cheyenne, John, Scott and a few others. Together we got the Vancouver Lair started with a few other guys.

We went out 6 and sometimes 7 nights a week. The beginning was rough. We couldn’t even ask an ugly girl on the street for directions or the weather. We spent 10 hours a day in malls, on the street, in coffee shops, in nightclubs all ‘peacocked’ out. We would talk to hundreds of people per day. We did this for 6 months straight. No rest for the weak!

We all improved quickly. The changes I saw in Stefan and Cheyenne from day one to the 6 month, 1 Year and 2 year marks were amazing. At the end it got to the point that we could talk to anyone and own any situation. I was happy with my abilities so I got a long term girlfriend and stepped back from the Vancouver dating community.

It became natural for me. Interacting with women was part of who I am. Since leaving the Vancouver dating community I have met some amazing women and had some great relationships. As my self improvement continued, so too did the quality of the women that I could land. Last year I met a girl named Colette and had the most amazing relationship I have ever had. It lasted a year and she was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was the type of girl that would make a room stop everything and look at her. She radiated beauty, had an incredible body and the best part is that she was a total sweety.

After an emotional last month I decided to end things with her and move along. She had some habits and addictions that I didn’t like. Consequently, I went on a tear as I have done in the past, sleeping with every hot girl that would come my way. I would always be with women and would be sleeping with a new one every week if not more. These girls were top notch too!

After a month of being on a tear I realized that I wasn’t happy. Sleeping with and casually dating hot women is fun but wasn’t fulfilling and I couldn’t figure out why. The reason is because I was using the validation of being with / sleeping with hot women to distract myself from some other stuff that wasn’t going well in my life: my finances and my emotional / spiritual side.

Cheyenne and John called me up one day and told me that I had to stop dating / sleeping with women. I fought it but I eventually gave in and realized that they could be right. I could be making women my primary focus to distract me from other things that needed attention. It was tough to tell the girls that I couldn’t see them anymore, but that was exactly what I did back in September. Since then I haven’t dated or slept with anyone….(okay…one exception).

The results of this a few months later have surprised me:

1) I’m making great progress on the other areas of my life that need attention. This makes me feel great and makes me a lot more fufilled overall. And a byproduct of this is that…

2) Now that I have taken the importance of women out of my life, I am attracting a way HIGHER quality of woman.

Its fascinating! I let go out the outcome and now I don’t care what happens when I am interacting with a girl. What happens is I am in the moment and we have more fun. We’ll talk about anything and what ends up happening is girls have been persuing me like crazy. The harder I pull away for my personal reasons, not wanting to date right now, the harder they persue.

Furthermore, because I am not trying to take something from these girls (a number, a date, sex, validation of hanging out with them because they are the hottest girl in the club….etc) I am now becoming good friends with a few of them. To show you the type of girls I’m talking about I will post a few pictures of my friends:

(other photo’s were deleted as this is this article is dated back in 2008)

These girls are BC Lions cheerleaders, architects, bartenders at the best clubs, radio personalities on radio stations that you listen to, world travelers etc. Its great having friends like this and its great also focusing on myself for once. Its awesome….the more I focus on improving my life the more attractive I become to women!

In the end what I hope you guys take away from this is that the more you improve the other areas of your life, your interactions with women and the quality of women that you interact with will improve. It was extremely important for me to go through the process of learning how to meet women with Cheyenne, Stefan and the rest of the guys because that is what got me started. Everything I have in my life right now can be attributed from the skills I learned by actively working on my social skills.

Once you get these essential life skills handled you won’t need to have women as your focus. This is where you want to be. You focus on your life and your life improves. The more dedicated you are to what you are doing in your life, the more quality women will be attracted to you. The more results you get in life (accomplishments, money, fitness etc) the more women will be attracted to you. Its a snowball effect. Once you get the ball rolling, the women won’t stop! They just keep getting better and better and chase me harder and harder! Keep in mind though that until you get your social skills and mindset down through practicing and coaching from men who know, money and acomplishments will never get you the kind of woman that you truely desire. Only hitting the streets and learning how to interact with women will!

Start today! Get out there! The world is yours!

Darren Jacklin, a motivational speaker and author, shares his experience after attending the Transformations Bootcamp back in mid-2009.  Darren is someone who has attended hundreds of events, seminars and conferences – as well as speaks at them.  He mentions how this is such a life-transforming event, because we’re getting men into action.

The Transformations Bootcamp isn’t about just sitting in a room, taking notes and then forgetting what you learned within 30 days – NO.  The Transformations Bootcamp is about TRANSFORMATION.  It’s about delivering permanent, identity-level change and results… and that is exactly what it does.  You can know all the theory and know exactly what to do, but if you don’t DO WHAT YOU KNOW, then you don’t really know it.

This holiday season, until December 22nd, we’re offering a Holiday Special Transformations Bootcamp Package that you can take advantage of.  If you’re ready to make 2010 the best year yet, go to:

Wade Lightheart, a personal friend and known as a 3-time Natural Bodybuilding Champion, recently attended our Transformations Bootcamp a few months ago and had an incredible experience.  Wade has authored the book called Vital Power and is an expert in the health and fitness industry.  He is all famous for competing in Mr. Universe and winning championships as a Vegan Bodybuilder.

Wade wanted to share his experience attending the Transformations Bootcamp with you and the affect it has made on his life.  The video below is from when he attended the Bootcamp.  The letter that he wrote is from a few days after.

I quote in the video, “Tony Robbins doesn’t produce results this fast!”

From Wade Lightheart on September 7th, 2009:

I just want to send a big shout out to all the member of Lifestyle Transformations as I had an absolute blast this weekend with all of the coaches and with the group of guys who shared in a truly transformational experience.

First and foremost I want to say to the coaches “You are the Real Deal”. We live in a world of “Internet Experts Hiding Behind Computer Screens” and I was shocked and delighted how the LT coaches transformed and empowered every single man in the room to a new state of confidence, self-respect, and well-being.

In my opinion the coaches out performed my wildest expectations not only from their ability to positively interact with women but with their exceptional coaching abilities. These guys delivered the results their website offered and I challenge any man (or woman) to find fault in their philosophy, their coaching ability, or the results they deliver.

In a matter of hours my awareness about how to positively interact with women skyrocketed. I witnessed first hand guys who hadn’t had a date in years boldly walk up to total strangers in the street and strike up a conversation. Better yet in many cases these “Newbies” walked away with a girl’s phone number and a new sense of possibility.

The event continued to build over the weekend as virtually every guy in the bootcamp walked out of the camp with dates lined up and a new found commitment to self-improvement. This weekend was way more than finding out how to interact with women, it taught guys how to respect and adore women and how to translate that positive energy into a deeper connection with themselves and the opposite sex.

I never imagined that a “dating seminar” could impact people in so many ways, so quickly. It is my opinion that Lifestyle Transformations are a unique organization that offer such incredible value to their students they are sure to break new ground in the self development arena.

This weekend held a special meaning for me as it allowed me to fulfill a promise I made to myself 9 years ago. I have attended dozens of lectures, read hundreds of books, and listened to thousands of Cd’s to achieve, develop, and experience peak levels of performance. I feel the Lifestyle Transformation Bootcamp outperformed and delivered faster and more tangible results than Tony Robbins Weekend Seminars and that’s really saying something because I believe Tony is one of the best in the business.

One of the reasons I believe this bootcamp is so successful is the sheer amount of personal coaching and interaction with the LT team each member receives. The students are empowered to push their limits and quickly produce incredible results that need to be seen to believe.

What’s more is impressive is that almost every woman who was approached by a Student received value from the interactions, in fact you could see the girls faces light up by the sincerity and positive communication experience they were having with the students’ and coaches. Keep in mind these were real girls in the real world not some B rated actress’s in a cooked up “Reality Show”.

I could go on forever and ever about the event however it would not do the Lifestyle Transformations or their potential customers any good. If you are considering going to an event. Just plain go, invest in your future, and transform your life.

To the Lifestyle Transformation Team Keep up the great work. You can bet I will be on your website and attending future events to take my personal development to the next level.”
