BadBoy Lifestyle Individualized Training    Compare

Was the workshop worth the money? The short answer is YES, even including the flight, hotel and food costs. There are lots of information and details that you would not get anywhere else. Did it change my life? It was definitely a revelation to what is possible, but as for the changing my life, NOT YET. I will know in a month or two. Badboy said that it would take 5 or 6 weeks of practicing to get good. I will get back to you in a month or two. Ideally, I would have liked to take the workshop immediately followed by a one day 1-on-1 coaching session.

The workshop was a lot of work. I hope that no one goes into expecting miracles. I think most workshops are like this and you only get good after a while, not immediately after the workshop. Hope this is helpful to those who is thinking about taking the Badboy workshop.

The investment of this workshop was a greater investment which included traveling from Ontario, Canada to Eastern Europe ($1600 plane ticket), bed and breakfast lodging (can’t recall the cost but quite cheap), and approximately Individual workshop cost was $1600-1800. I had spent roughly 8 days in Croatia in total during the winter and 2 days travel. Less then $4500 was spent on the experience.

This was a great deal…just a few months before The GAME came out as workshop, and seminar prices were cheaper.

I spent 3 days in an intensive workshop mode with Badboy and Cortez learning theory, performing drills, and incorporating the ideas into the field. I also had Shark one afternoon teaching his Basic Playboy. Shark was in production of his Attract and Date CD series at the time.

I was in a serious transition mode of letting go of Indirect PUA and learning to develop a Direct Natural approach. Their marketing angle worked at the time and hooked unsatisfied users of the Indirect Schools being practiced in Canada and the U.S.A.

I also spent hours in Instant Messenger with a workshop attendee who felt transformed by their teachings. Plus Basic Playboy was their recommended product. I spent some time preparing for workshop incorporating their teachings, beliefs, body language, and mindset at night. I also lost some weight and changed my clothing style from Metro Sexual to more of a Natural Clean Generic sort of vibe.

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Bad boy’s explanation of The Matrix
• Direct openers
• Alpha Male Body Language and sub-communication
• Bad boy ideas about Rapport
• Lots of infield with Cortez as a wing and Badboy for infield instruction support
• Spending 2 days with the guys after the workshop including Shark (almost 5 days of teaching)

The workshop helped me transition from indirect to the changes that were about to happen. The dropping of indirect routines was not a big deal for me…as many of us caught wind of what the book was going to do. So guys started to transition away from Indirect even as early as 2004. This was before the book came out and even the new crop of workshop instructors after The Game came on the scene reciting the same crap we were moving away from a few years prior.

My biggest struggle that weekend was within myself. I realized their approach to Inner-Game was not going to heal my own internal battles. I certainly learned a different skill-set, but walked away a bit more frustrated and eventually went into a downward spiral. This had nothing to do with Badboy and co. but more to do with myself.

Sometimes you just hit the wall, and I slowly had to return to Hypnosis/NLP based Inner-Game practices via Hypnotica and his DYD classic Master’s speech and eventually the teachings of David Deida.

I think the biggest thing I got from my Badboy experience…was a better understanding of sub- communication of even the skill of feel within my body of exploring dominance.

- The workshop was a great experience and it opened my eyes to an avenue of possibilities

- BB is a great instructor and a fun guy. After all, he is respected by some of the best PUAs in the world and that alone, speaks for itself. His analytical skills are second to none. Every situation is dissected in a few words and altough you may doubt him in the beginning, eventually the results justify him. He knows how to convey re-assurance and an air of certainty, but be warned, he can drive you VERY hard and can be uncompromising

- Although I recommend this workshop without hesitation, I cannot help but feel it may be more suited to slightly advanced students or guys with solid game who want to perfect their inner game and body language projection. Some of the sets and approaches BB asks you to do can be very daunting for the complete novice or someone without natural confidence. As I mentioned earlier, my frame and personality were naturally confident so although hard at first, I found myself happily adapting to the demands of the workshop. If you are prepared to push yrself though, the results are outstanding

- Having just completed an MM workshop with TenMagnet, I feel I now have a complete skillset, adaptable to any situation. Although I love direct, and I couldn't believe the result my 'I think you are so f*cking sexy, I am going to get to know you' opener had on a HB9 last weekend (she looked like she had been slapped and instantly proceeded to tell me about her life!), I really like the granularity of the M3/Emotional Progression model and the stages it represents. My game now involves approaching with direct/indirect openers but with pure BB taught body language and attitude, while at the same time knowing exactly where I stand with a HB within the M3 model. Also, MM makes it easy for me to introduce some of my loved ones (close friends, family) into the game, but ultimately, it's all about the alpha male direct mindset.
