Thoughts About Dating Coaches

Will Smith recently starred in a movie entitled Hitch. In it, the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air played a dating coach who makes a living teaching men how to woo women. I think that the name of that movie is interesting in light of the fact that I've chosen to call my little group Get Hitched.

In reality, a lot of the dating coaches I've found online have been women, like Hayley Quinn (from the UK), Deanna Lorraine (who is from San Diego, and who theoretically must like quiche!), and others. After all, who knows better how to woo a woman than a woman? (Of course, Deanna has a coaching service for men AND for women, with a different web site for each. She also has a Wednesday night webcast talk show at 866-922-1188, and although you obviously can't hear the show if you aren't online between the hours of 8:00 and 9:00 p.m., that won't stop you from calling the show at that time to ask your questions. She conducts "dating bootcamps", which sounds to me as if it would be more fun than going to bootcamp in the military! This January, she'll have a bootcamp in San Diego, which is where she lives. Her bootcamps make her a fair amount of money, of course, especially when they are in exotic locations like Dubai.)

Hayley Quinn has my email address in her mailing list. She claimed, in her most recent newsletter to me, that her program "Attraction Loopholes" teaches "The hidden LOOPHOLES in female psychology that will have her falling in love with you regardless of what you look like, how much money you earn or how popular you are." Regardless of how old you are or how handicapped you may be? This I have to experience to believe it!

However, Hayley seems to have her own problems in terms of finding the "right guy" for herself, according to this article. In all fairness, the article ends with a postscript that states that Hayley is now in a committed relationship of her own.

Of course, given the fact that Hayley describes herself as a "female PUA" (pick-up artist), one might argue that some men seek to have relationships with women who are a bit less adept at picking up men just to have one-night stands. Also, according to this YouTube video, Hayley "swings both ways". The video is about her advice for guys who want to have "three-ways". (Three ways? I'd be lucky just to persuade a woman to have sex with me at all.)

If I'd had a dating coach of my own, I might now be married. But that was not the case, and I still have the same longings as I ever had. That's one of my main reasons for creating Get Hitched here in Bellingham. And interestingly enough, when I called Deanna last night in order to ask her advice for men with limited income who wanted to meet eligible women, she said that Meetup.com was a great place to meet women (and men), without spending much money.

To properly promote one's own singles group, however, would take a fair amount of money. But even the free business cards I got from VistaPrint are better than nothing in that regard. Until I can raise enough money, via dues and sponsorships and the like, the business cards will have to suffice.
