Coaching/ Bootcamps Information

Instructor(s) for Coaching:
AFC Adam (Adam Lyons)

December 10, 2011
This whole 20 months since I completed Adam Lyon's bootcamp I thought my lack of success was because of me, and that I simply "wasn't cut out for" approaching and attracting girls.

Since attending a PHENOMENAL boot camp two weeks ago, I now realize that the problem was in Adam's bootcamp and his bootcamp only. 12-15 students is way too many students at one time for a bootcamp, especially when you spend 4 hours a day in the classroom cramming so many details and theories that you can't possibly get the first 3 steps straight when going out in the field at night...oh wait, there weren't even a "first 3 steps" to begin with.

Adam's bootcamp is big on collective theory as far as how to approach and respond to a thousand different scenarios. What it lacks is a single, direct, well-defined, simple system for how to approach and attract women. Once I returned to my home city, I was stuck back at approaching the first night I went out. I mean, come on! If you can't come up with a surefire way to get your students past approach anxiety then you're in the wrong game.

I must have heard Adam say "...because I was voted the NUMBER ONE PICKUP ARTIST IN THE WORLD last year" 25 times. But do you know how many times he actually accompanied us lowly students out to the field during the 3 night bootcamp? Once. One night. Do you know how many times he demonstrated his awesome prowess on unsuspecting girls? Zero. Zero times. He hardly interacted with any of us students the one night he did come out.

At the end of the bootcamp Adam spent a solid 45 minutes setting us up for the grand finale, the part where he tries to get us to sign up for a week's stay in Austin, TX under his careful, watchful eye (except he's not actually present during that time) before he asks us to fork over a $900 deposit. I unwittingly made this mistake, and do you know how much of that $900 I got back after I decided not to go to Austin? $0. $0 is how much I got for changing my mind and not going to Austin.

Oh, and on top of the bootcamp fee you get to pay a nice 3-5% (depending on your bank) international transaction fee because Adam's payment processor is located in the UK. Not good business. At all.
