March 20, 2023 14:00 - 13 minutes - 9.62 MB

When you approach a cute girl in a bar, at a house party, or out during the day?   You'd be forgiven for thinking women hold all the power in dating because they have the ability to accept or reject the guy, and he has to put in all the effort.  But if you continue to feel powerless when approaching women, then you'll always be giving your power away.  I want to show men how to feel empowered when picking up women 1:1 Zoom Coaching Sessions With Damien: https://schoolofattraction.com/pho...

Do you know what the difference is between sexual tension and sexual esclation?    I get men contacting me every week asking me how to sexually escalate with a woman they've started dating, or a woman they'v ejust met in a bar.  But this is the wrong question to ask, because more men should be focussing on building sexual tension with women instead.  And the two are not the same thing.  In fact, if you sexually escalate when there's no tension, you can actually turn a woman off of you for...

I often hear guys wanting to learn how to be more masculine, or how to be more alpha, and the reason for this is to better attract women - because everyone knows that women lust after masculine men right?  But what if our hunt for masculinity was a red herring causing us guys to chase our tails, while still having no more success with girls than we did before? Dating women is never simple, and building our self esteems as men is always an important part of the puzzle, but I have a suspicio...

January 09, 2023 14:00 - 13 minutes - 9.08 MB

December 21, 2022 14:00 - 10 minutes - 7.55 MB

Are you constantly worried about being too needy when dating?   Most men and women try hard to avoid looking too desperate or needy with their partners, and this often leads to wants and needs not being met.  Needy behaviour is often seen as being repulsive by both men and women, so naturally, this is something we try not to do when attracting a mate.  If you are asking a girl out on a date, or asking a man to spend more time with you, you need to be able to do it in a way that feels conf...

July 07, 2021 00:00 - 13 minutes - 8.96 MB

June 23, 2021 00:00 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MB

There's an increasing amount of pressure in the media to make men feel bad about their tastes in women.  But recently it's become clear to me that men who have a dating preference for specific races are being increasingly called out as racist.  For many men this hit's a nerve - how can they be racist if they find that race sexy?  After a fascinating conversation I had with an African woman last week, and spending the rest of the weekend researching the topic, I am aware that the formal res...

To Attract Beautiful Women - You Must First Walk Away From Them

June 09, 2021 00:00 - 11 minutes - 7.88 MB

How many times have you seen a beautiful woman and decided to walk away from her if she wasn't interesting enough?  I am guessing you have almost never done this. AND YET - this is the exact reason so many men struggle to built attraction, especially around women they find particularly sexy.  Women aren't attracted to men who like them just because they're cute.

Want To Be Successful At Life? - Consider A Therapist

May 19, 2021 00:00 - 6 minutes - 4.55 MB

Why is it that a disproportionate number of highly successful people invest in therapists?  Is it because they're more broken? Or is it because they know a secret most others don't? Many of us think that we should only see a therapist if we're broken or on the verge of hurting ourselves or others.... Or maybe if our lives are falling apart and we don't know how to get on track.  But I see therapy as a form of emotional hygiene - like going to the gym, for your emotions.  You learn how to ...

May 12, 2021 00:00 - 15 minutes - 10.6 MB

What can our past tell us about what women find attractive?  Is it possible to look at our distant ancestors and consider what their lives looked like to help us to understand what a girl's DNA tells her to be turned on by?  The Evolutionary Theory Of Attraction believes that by better understanding the sexual behaviours and pressures that would have been present while humans were evolving, that it would enable us to much better understand what women are likely to find attractive in modern...

Dating Younger Women - A Complex Morality

April 21, 2021 04:00 - 13 minutes - 9.39 MB

You walk into a bar, and you see an older man dating a much younger woman - Is that guy a sleaze or a legend? Is he to be admired or scorned? Is he doing something inherently wrong? Or is he just following a biological imperative?  It's easy to assume that women are just jealous that these men aren't interested in them once they approach their 30s.

Why Do Nice Guys Finish Last?

March 15, 2021 15:00 - 12 minutes - 8.73 MB

We've all heard that nice guys finish last, but why does that have to be the case? What is it about nice guys that stops them getting the girl they want?  Why do so many women take advantage of nice guys, and then leave them for some other jerk.  Nice guy syndrome isn't about men being too nice, it's about men trying to be nice in order to get women to like them, which turns women off and prevents them from being attracted and wanting to become a girlfriend.
