(David DeAngelo teaching in front of a group of over 300 men during his last seminar event in 2008.)

A former real estate and mortgage professional turned entrepreneur, author, and consultant, David DeAngelo describes himself as a “pretty normal guy, who went through a point where he had decided that he needed to get this part of his life called ‘meeting women’ handled”. To his countless students and readers, however, DeAngelo is nothing less than a love, dating, and relationship guru extraordinaire.

Like many self-styled gurus, David DeAngelo (aka Eben W. Pagan) began his quest to discover how to meet women and get dates by learning from others: reading countless dating books, attending countless relationship seminars, listening to countless self-help tapes – only to find the same tired and flawed methods driven into the ground.

The changes came when he put down the books, tapes, and seminar programs and instead sought out the “real gurus”, the everyday Joes out there who were already successful with women. It was by hanging out with these regular guys who already knew what they were doing, naturally, doing it without even knowing it, that David found the seeds of the transformative lessons he’s now renowned for.

David observed these men in action and came out with a whole new vantage point on the man/woman dynamic, on the rules and roles of dating, and on the formula for a successful romantic relationship with a woman.

Because of this, David DeAngelo’s teaching are not politically correct or gender neutral or even diplomatically and sensitively presented; no, they are straightforward and honest, to the point of being blunt, brutal, and sometimes offensive.

For example one of the original core principles of DeAngelo’s teachings was the “cocky and funny” flirting style he promoted. By some definitions more like teasing than flirting, DeAngelo’s method employs confidence and a sense of humor – two qualities women crave – to optimal effect.

Another example of DeAngelo’s controversial but no-less-accurate teachings is his assertion that men are attracted to a woman’s physical attributes while women are attracted to men’s behavioral attributes.

In his observations, and resultantly his teachings, DeAngelo places a huge de-emphasis on the difference between human mating habits and those of all other animals, posing that the reproductive imperative is responsible for many of our social structures and behaviors. And that the social conditioning and programming men receive from these inventions has led to the development of many unconscious habits and attitudes that contribute greatly to men’s failure to attract, meet, date, and – yes – mate with the women they desire, or for that matter any women at all.

DeAngelo’s 2001 book “Double Your Dating” launched him out of the underground and into the light of the public eye, where he has since basked in sharing his timeless, ageless wisdom about male/female dynamics and how to engage them positively, proactively, and to great rewards.

Others of the best-selling informational products DeAngelo bestowed on the needful dating world include:

• Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About Women And Dating
• 77 Laws of Success with Women and Dating
• the Advanced Dating series
• Meeting Women Online
• Deep Inner Game

If seduction is a science, DeAngelo is Einstein; if it’s an art, he’s DaVinci. But starting out first publishing his ideas in “Cliff’s List”, an underground seduction newsletter, he chose the appellation: Sisonpyh (which, if you couldn’t tell, is “hypnosis” spelled backwards).

And that’s DeAngelo’s strength: a near hypnotic power with which he transmits broad-sweeping paradigm shifts to his students. Shifts in the ways in which they view themselves, the opposite sex, and relationships.

What’s more, this subtle but profound transformation each of his students and readers undergoes equips them with the same gifts, as the effect these universal lessons on perspective and personality have on everyone who comes even indirectly in contact with them can only be described as ‘hypnotic’.
