I've followed Nick's work for a while, and just reading his book a few times was a game changer for me. When the opportunity to do the workshop presented itself, I leapt on it.
The best and worst dating advice ever received is 'just be yourself' - because it is the most important and also the hardest for most of us to understand. What Nick does, in a nutshell, is teach you how to be totally cool just being yourself. I can't tell you how refreshing it is after years of being peppered with pathetic openers, lines, routines, and whatever else - to just know that actually the sexiest most attractive thing about me is me.
I can't quite put into words what a gift it is not having to think about something clever to say, to just connect to people I feel inspired to connect to, and to know that in seconds of meeting someone I can form a deeper bond than most people can form after weeks and months. Yeah, it's about learning how to connect to women - but truthfully I don't even have time to follow up with all the amazing women I've connected to in the weeks following the program. Dates in multiple cities with gorgeous girls from multiple countries that are doing inspiring things with their lives, well that's just kind of my reality now.
It's also been a game changer in work - I am absolutely crushing it in my career and social life too. Human connectivity is what it is all about. All at the same time, Nick teaches you how to be totally fearless and also so self-accepting that you can just roll with whatever life throws you.
And the best part - its all experiential. I have three sentences jotted down from the weekend in case I need a reminder, but the whole thing is built so that you leave transformed, not needing to review endless notes and study. Do it man!

Well, simply put, I have no trouble approaching women anymore. I know that the next time I make eye contact with someone that makes my heart skip a beat, I'll be talking to her within seconds (actually, that exact situation played out just a couple of days after returning home.)
I got a lot more out of this course than just that though. I learned how to connect with people on an energetic level. I transformed into a person that can make someone else's day just a little bit brighter by approaching them and spending five minutes connecting with them, using conversation.
'Not knowing what to say' is an excuse that doesn't hold weight for me anymore because my goal now when talking to someone is to be present and learn about them. I have no fear whatsoever of being 'shot down' because I understand that sometimes, people simply don't want to talk. It's harder to take a cold shoulder personally when I remember that how they react to me says more about where they are in that moment than it does about me.
Much of the information shared in the course is surprisingly straightforward, but it's the implementation of that information that gets the focus. To just read about it and go out in your home town is not nearly as effective as going out to a bar with people who understand the science of socializing, who can see where you might be struggling and give you the advice you need in that moment.
The coaches are all excellent. It was so obvious to me that they got a genuine feeling of well-being watching us transform from who we were into confident, present, and outgoing people. They're doing what they're passionate about in life, and there is no greater feeling than helping others evolve and grow into who they want to be. The excitement that the coaches were getting out of watching this happen energized us into applying ourselves to the subject matter even more.
For my money, this course would have been worth every penny at twice the cost. Unfortunately, I may not have taken it for that price, and it would have been my huge, huge loss.
I'm a different person now. I feel like I won't be single for long, and I'm looking forward to all the women (and people in general) I'm going to meet in my future. I look forward to brightening their days, and having them brighten mine. So many women smile at me now, and I barely even have to speak. My life is different now. It's way better.
Some of us have a natural inclination on how to be with women. Some of us have to learn. Are you one of the latter? Take this course.

Joining Fearless is the best investment I made in my life. Becoming great with women as well as mastering myself are the biggest goals I’ve wanted to achieve in my life, and I have not regretted anything the moment I stepped onto the plane, en route to New York.
The program is consisted a total of 3 days, 3 nights. I own some of Nick’s video products already, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I meet him in person. Would he be as awesome, honest, and supportive in person? Well let’s just say, many people out there put on different faces in different situations; Nick, on the other hand, is as authentic as a man could get. I really want to emphasize that, because he cares about your success as much as you do. Sometimes he cares even more when you’re simply not “feeling it” during the night as we approach gorgeous girls in the City.
The first night, we started out by learning the basics of approaching a woman. And when I say basic, approaching in and of itself is darn simple! Listen, going up to a woman, getting to know her, and have a good time do not take rocket science. As you follow the steps Nick teaches, you learn that it does not matter what you say. Pickup lines are as corny as a farm in Idaho anyways, how would you feel if a girl approaches you with a canned line? It takes much more confidence and self-assurance to approach her, look her in the eyes, and let what you say, how you act, come out naturally as they may.
On the next day, Nick prescribed what specifically each of us needs to work on, after seeing how we did last night. While every guy’s sticking points could be slightly different, it was surprising that no matter how hard we think our downsides are tough to overcome, that it would take a miracle to fix our interactions with women, every guy’s mistakes are actually all so common, and really easy to fix. In addition, the assistant coaches really helped as we did approach exercises. It was profound to hear their critiques from the woman’s perspective. Friday is further dedicated to mastering conversation: the funny thing is, the more you listen and focus on the other person, the more it gets easy to converse with her.
Finally, on Saturday, we learn about the nuts and bolts of how to escalate. Escalation is simply act upon your feelings, how the cutie in front of you makes you feel. We went through, step-by-step, how to transition from the initial approach, conversation, to getting close to her. Everything has a natural feel to it, as if it’s simply human nature between you and her that is taking place.
As the end of the weekend approaches, I have made a few valuable friends along the place. You realize that empowering men to become the best of themselves, particularly with women, is Nick’s biggest passion. And he’s damn selfless and proactive in helping you to get there.

Nick teaches the foundations of REAL connections between people. No PUA lines, scripts or "moves." Nick teaches how to connect as human beings - deeper and more powerful than words could ever be. It's about building the energy between people before words ever come into play, and that makes your words flow and resonate the way you want them to. I felt an immediate shift in the way women responded to me, have noticed that women open up and connect with me much faster now, and I'm having even more fun and less anxiety around meeting and developing sexual connections with women. If you're looking to step up your game - your REAL game - do yourself a favor and work with Nick.

It’s been one year since my Bootcamp with Nick. I’m happy to say the last 12 months have been amazing. I’m 3 months into a great job, have an awesome girlfriend, and have even seen relationships with my family improve. Overall, the quality of my interactions and the resulting confidence has touched all areas of my life. Upon reflection, a lot of it stems back to what Nick taught me in NYC.
We all know the saying: the devil‘s in the details. Well the details are where I see the most change. I’m talking about making eye contact and saying “hi” to people passing me in the hall, having a strong presence when walking into a bar, or simply keeping my mouth shut and actually LISTENING to what others have to say. They’re the little things that aren’t actually so little. While I would rarely do them last year, I now do them out of habit.
The weekend with Nick opened me up to those details and gave me the tools to improve them. By the end of the weekend, I wasn’t naturally doing this stuff. But I knew my problem areas and I knew how to correct them. More importantly, I was given the confidence to continue growing. It’s one thing to have Nick at the barstool next to you, but it’s another to be back on your own. However, that’s a jump we all have to make and the experiences from the weekend helped me make it. My nerves were still there, but when I told myself “hey, I did this 100 times in NYC with Nick,” I was able to get over those hurdles.
Going out and pushing to improve myself has been a transformational journey. But here’s my favorite part of the program: I’m still the same guy! Although I gained social skills and confidence, the person I am has never changed. Nick didn’t teach me to be someone else. He didn’t give me a goofy hat to wear and a line to spout off. Rather, he showed me how to be a better me. And that’s what I’m most grateful for.
I’m thrilled with the past year, excited to see what comes next, and know Nick will be in my corner the entire way. If you want to see a permanent improvement in your life, I’m one of many who would recommend this program. It’s one of the best decisions you could make.

I first heard about the Social Man program through a friend and I was pretty tired of having dates go poorly or not being able to attract girls I was interested in and I was interested in getting some dating help. But I wasn’t ready to take the plunge, I kept making excuses like I couldn’t take time away from work, New York is expensive, insert whatever reason so I didn’t to confront what I was afraid of.
Then one day it hit me, interacting with women never goes away. Whether you meet the love of your life tomorrow or choose to remain a bachelor forever, you will interact with women at work, in restaurants, out in public, whatever.
One on one coaching was outstanding, Nick was able to provide intimate and immediate feedback and it made HUGE difference, within minutes the subtle cues were making me more and more successful with each group of women I interacted with. It was really staggering the difference such a short time can make.
Again Thanks Nick and Stay Classy Me Friend

If you’re reading this, there is a good chance that you’re in the situation I was in just a few weeks ago. I had very little success with women and it seemed as though whatever I did, I would never be able to attract anyone I found attractive. I did not enjoy going out as a result, and was slowly approaching the point of being content with having no romantic relationships in my life and simply focusing on my career instead. However, the feeling that I would be missing out on something amazing was too damaging, which led me to take a chance to see if Nick Sparks could help me gain control over this aspect of my life.
To be honest, I did not go into that weekend with the best attitude. I was embarrassed that I needed this training, doubtful that much could change over the course of a weekend, and worried that I was going to be fed weird gimmicks. This made me a rather hard sell, and I had to convince myself every day before that weekend why I needed this. Fortunately, I found the courage to show up and it became one of the most amazing and enlightening experiences I have ever had. During the training, my faults became painfully obvious and were immediately remedied by Nick and his incredibly supportive team of both male and female coaches (which outnumbered the students!). Every weekend since then, it becomes more and more evident that the simple, yet powerful lessons I learned in order to gain social momentum, make better connections, and express my sexual desires are the real deal. I tried my best to be critical of everything I learned, but the unprecedented results I’ve had since that weekend speak for themselves and I have no choice but to accept that Nick is indeed a wizard. I didn’t become some amazing Casanova overnight, but I did walk away with an entirely new perspective and confidence that has enabled me to create endless amounts of opportunities for myself. I have plenty of work to do, but I finally feel like I am heading down the right path. Do yourself a favor and give this amazing opportunity a chance!

Take it from some one who has spent a lot of effort learning about this subject and has read and viewed info from many of these guys. ONLY NICK TEACHES THIS. He makes it simple and natural. I learned so much and grew tremendously. No tools. No tricks. No "seduction". Rather he is teaching you a way of being that is fully masculine and makes vaginas moist. Reading the signals and then escalating sexually and defining the relationship on my terms.
The most shocking thing about the whole experience was the realization that this is SO MUCH BIGGER than dating or talking to women. The experience gave me skills that are having effects on other aspects of life.
I am a more powerful person as a whole.
If you go to the live coaching, you will approach and hopefully connect with the most beautiful women in the world. You might get lucky enough to meet his amazing assistant coach, and you will learn about shit that will change your entire life.
Best money I have ever spent.

I highly recommend Nick Sparks boot camp because he is one of the most genuine guys I know, he cares about your success, he gets to know you personally, and what he has to share is actually really useful. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got to the training. It started off getting to know each other, and some of the women that we would be working with. We did a lot of exercises during the classes that helped us with getting comfortable interacting and appreciating women.
At night, Nick takes you out on the town to practice what you have learned. It is amazing to see the results of Nick's training come to life. It was almost as if the women were coming right towards me. It has only been a couple of months since the training, and I have seen a big turn around. What Nick has to teach is NOT easy, and it is more of a lifestyle change than a few tips and tricks. You have to stay committed afterwards, which is actually the hardest part.
In sum, the training is awesome, and you are guaranteed to meet some cool people along the way. I'm definitely happy with my decision to take Nick's class.

Hey Everyone,
This has been a long time coming, but I feel that since a few months have passed, I have a greater perspective of the benefits of the programme. I'll do my best to be as clear and concise as I can, but forgive me if I run off on a tangent as there have been an adventure or two. ;)
I arrived in New York from the UK not really knowing what to expect. My first day was spent getting to know my surroundings, gazing at the huge buildings which, as a dreamer by nature, began to make my mind race with the possibilities.
The first night arrived and I left for the meetup spot. I arrived and stood outside with bar feeling some trepidition, anxious and a little doubtful over what the weekend may hold. I was the first to arrive and spotted Mr Sparks dropping hooks to the groups of people around him. I said a quick hello, ensuring I slowed down the pace at which I would usually speak - something that I'm sure even Gerard Butler has to. However, over the course of the weekend, I was about to learn that my accent, as a fellow countryman whom I met that weekend would tell me, "was money". ;)
The other guys arrived and we sat down for a little coversation about how the first night would go. We would be concentrating solely on approaching and getting over this initial hurdle. This was my biggest challenge overall and it would be prove to be something I had to work on over the weekend. Luckily, I was surrounded by a man who clearly knew what he was doing and two other "students" who were extremely hungry to learn the craft.
The first night on the whole, went well. It took me a long time to get warmed up, longer than any of the other guys - infact I came dead last in the number of approaches made. After i was warmed up, things went well and generally people were very friendly. The first few groups of people I went into, I ended up running away before they actually gave me any bad signals as I felt they didn't want my company, this was a miscalibration on my part and something Nick did his utmost to correct.
The Friday was all about conversation which was just awesome. I now never ever worry about what I am going to say to a woman, when you know the tricks its really that simple. I'm naturally an introvert so I've always been a great listener, and this stuff was just the icing on the cake. The Friday night was actually the most difficult night for me. The other guys seemed to be doing very well with very little hesitation in approaching, in the beginning I just seemed to be going nowhere. After the first couple of bars, I started to loosen up a little and having some more fun and funnily enough, people started responding to me. The take away from the night was simple, go in expecting people to enjoy your company, if you don't believe this you are shooting yourself in the foot before you've even started.
"Sexy Saturday" as they call it, was intense. We started off with some classroom lessons on escalation, and let me tell you, i felt awkward, hugely out of my comfort zone. This is always good though, Nick pushes you to your limit and then beyond - this literally makes it so much easier when it comes to speaking with woman. We then had a little daygame, which was definitely not my strong point. I spoke to fast so the responses I recieved were rather poor, even so, I could feel my momentum building and it was getting easier and easier to talk to women in the street and this paid dividends when it came to Saturday night.......
We met up at the usual spot and had a briefing before we started to hit the bars. This was by far the best night of all three - I was on fire. I was no longer the slowest in the group at getting going when speaking to women, I was going after this evening with literally all i had.
The first bar we hit, the whole lot of us literally cleaned up - there wasn't any crazy stuff happening but we literally owned that bar. Nick said his goal at the beginning of the weekend what to give us an experience that would make us realise that we could do this - this was the night for me. I had some great conversations with some beautiful women, bouncing from group to group and just having an awesome time, I even had a great conversation with the barmaid and, in my opinion, sometimes these can be the hardest nuts to crack.
We left the bar and I was absolutely buzzing. The next bar awaited and i could not wait to get stuck in. I hit the bathroom to reassert myself and then came out fighting! ;) The first group I saw had the cutest girl in there. I went straight up, started the conversation and had an absolute blast. That's with one of her friends being a complete b**** (something that would have blown me out of the water in the past, but not now). I followed all the tips that I learned over the weekend and had a great night with a wonderful woman who i still keep in touch with.
Sunday was all about the debrief, time to chill, reflect on the great times with some new friends and the learnings of a great experience. 6 months on, I look back, and I know I'm not where I want to be yet. Practice is key, and as a 25 year old with a business of my own, it's difficult to go out every weekend as time is of a premium. However, this doesn't worry me in the slightest. Why? I know I can do it, I've had the experiences that prove I am capable of being a social, highly attractive person when I want to be, when I go after it. This weekend increases your awareness so that if you ever are out of practice, you can leave an interaction, realise what you can improve on and do it the next time. This stuff is the most fun form of self improvement out there - practice your skills with women and you will become a stronger, more confident male who is not scared of taking "risks" to get what he wants. I say "risks" with quotation marks because when you put things into perspective, they really aren't - you have nothing to lose and the world to gain.
They say dreaming without any action is insanity and while i may not be completely cured, I do feel that I am well on the road to recovery. Thank you Nick, you have shown me the path and all I need to do now is walk it. "
Hope that does the job mate. Take care and hopefully see you soon - should be over in NYC sometime towards the end of the year.
Cheers,

This has been a long time coming, but I feel that since a few months have passed, I have a greater perspective of the benefits of the programme. I'll do my best to be as clear and concise as I can, but forgive me if I run off on a tangent as there have been an adventure or two. ;)
I arrived in New York from the UK not really knowing what to expect. My first day was spent getting to know my surroundings, gazing at the huge buildings which, as a dreamer by nature, began to make my mind race with the possibilities.
The first night arrived and I left for the meetup spot. I arrived and stood outside with bar feeling some trepidition, anxious and a little doubtful over what the weekend may hold. I was the first to arrive and spotted Mr Sparks dropping hooks to the groups of people around him. I said a quick hello, ensuring I slowed down the pace at which I would usually speak - something that I'm sure even Gerard Butler has to. However, over the course of the weekend, I was about to learn that my accent, as a fellow countryman whom I met that weekend would tell me, "was money". ;)
The other guys arrived and we sat down for a little coversation about how the first night would go. We would be concentrating solely on approaching and getting over this initial hurdle. This was my biggest challenge overall and it would be prove to be something I had to work on over the weekend. Luckily, I was surrounded by a man who clearly knew what he was doing and two other "students" who were extremely hungry to learn the craft.
