ATnoir : Growing up, I faced a number of challenges. My father passed away before I was born and I come from a religious immigrant family, who weren't the most psychologically healthy people. I'd always knew I'd be different from them. Whilst I was outwardly confident, I never felt the same inwardly. I spent my entire teen years without even kissing a girl and was very unhappy with many things. I found out about 'PUAs' and 'gurus' on the internet whilst at university and began to experience some successes, but still didn't feel happy. Furthermore, I started to take a very dim view of the women I was meeting and grew some unhealthy attitudes. Whilst I was aware of Dr Paul, I was initially very dismissive of his teachings. I was looking for a magic bullet to success, a line, a hypnosis trick etc that would turn it all around. At my then immature state of mind, I didn't appreciate the elegance of MindOS and was more attracted to the flashy slogans of gurus.
A couple of years later, during a very difficult patch in my life I re-read a Dr Paul email, which made perfect sense to me and after a hugely difficult break up, I really began to immerse myself in MindOS and Mature Masculine Power. I did a lot of work on myself, answering some tough questions and some months later I attended the Omega Male Seminar. I literally felt reborn and so many people couldn't stop commenting on how 'something' had changed. I also attended a Superconference, which helped to re-affirm some teachings and helped me to develop others. Whilst I still face challenges all the time, I feel happier than I have been
I decided to become a coach as I have been on the 'other side'. While there are many coaches who have experienced a 'dateless' life, I feel as though I am uniquely placed to help most men as I have faced a lot of issues, including a cultural divide with a family, narcissism in self and family, fatherlessness and weight issues but to name a few. The more men who overcome these challenges, the better. The world can only benefit from having Mature Masculine Men, who are able to harness their power and put it to good use.
Zoltan: About 6 years ago I was in a position where I realized my life with women sucked (having just been rejected by yet another woman), and my career was not really going anywhere.
I decided for myself that things had to change. So I started looking on the internet, and initially stumbled on David D's stuff, which is how I found out about Dr Paul. Until learning Dr Paul's MindOS, I had made progress, but my success had been largely haphazard. Once I started to understand MindOS, I could see the things that were holding me back and started to make real progress. After watching MindOS, I realized why I had so much difficulty approaching women, and had my first major lesson with "doing courage."
Around the same time, my career started to progress as well. I got a promotion, and life was good... that was until due to things changing that things went backwards for a while. I got into a spiral of both the skill with women, and my career progress seemed to be going backwards. They seemed to feed each other, and I seemed to be stuck in rut. That was the point where I decided to attend the Omega Male seminar.
I learned a lot of lessons there, that really cemented some things I had overlooked in MindOS (this was 2 whole years after I thought I had understood MindOS), as well as finally getting why a lot of the relationships, or dates with women didn't work out.
My biggest interest is in the area of how success in dating and relationships overlap with success in other areas of your life. I am still amazed today at how the lessons I have learned from approaching women, or from online dating, can be applied in areas such as business and career. To me it is all about becoming a better man.
After attending the Omega Male seminar, and being involved actively in this forum since its inception, Dr Paul approached me about being a moderator due to my understanding of the material.
I am still learning lessons from Dr Paul's materials today, and find it good to refer back to them after going and living life a little. There is always something more to learn.
Josh: I’ve known this one for person my entire life, about 11 years ago he suddenly got representation with four prominent modeling agencies located in New York City, Chicago, and Orlando. Talent agents were now working for him. We saw him on CBS’s The Late Show with David Letterman, to commercial print modeling in periodicals including The Chicago Tribune, and we learned he was working on the set of NBC’s ER. He learned how the talent and entertainment industries operate.
In late 2004, this model met Dr. Paul at a popular restaurant in Chicago. Okay, I’m sure by now you’ve figured out I may have been misleading you a little, and I’m actually writing about Dr. Paul and myself. I've been tooting my own horn but only to let you know that I'm giving you the best from my best. At any rate, I kept bumping into Dr. Paul, I learned of his work, and incorporated his MindOS system into my daily life. Dr. Paul had suggested that some kind of fashion input would be a valuable addition to what he could offer others. He and I both agreed it was a good fit and began to work together. The best part of it was that I already knew the “how to” part of image and fashion, after all I had my own fashion company for a while. Yet, I now was able to understand “the why,” and linking the two together has become one of the most valuable tools that I can offer to anyone’s daily repertoire. In 2006 or so we launched the 7th Sense of Fashion, and in 2009 I finished the 2nd Edition of the 7th Sense of Fashion, with an extra 55 pages of content.
The things I have learned from absorbing Dr. Paul’s materials have been invaluable not just for my personal life and evaluating past failures and successes; the materials have also enriched my life beyond this area. My diplomatic skills among others have also increased dramatically, allowing me to team up with potential “enemies” to create win/win situations. Can you image how much better your professional life would be if you could be the ultimate team player and leader where appropriate? The principles of MindOS combined with KWML can serve to make you THE ultimate asset to those in your life. Although many of our offerings are packaged in a way to enhance your personal lives this is just a byproduct of the essence of what we offer. What we really provide is a system of personal evolution and development that provides you with a more fulfilling and rewarding life. This is the main reason I’m here.
My talents are honed to working with individuals who really want to have their own unique yet classic style, as well as counseling modeling industry professionals. Hey, I’ve heard all the questions about fashion and clothing, starting with what to wear for a photo shoot, what to wear for a night on the town, what to wear for a date, up to with what to wear for a TV interview. Easier questions range from, “Can I wear these shoes with jeans, or should I wear a different pair of jeans with these shoes?” “What cut of jeans is best, and the length…, for those shoes?” The more difficult questions often include, “Well, why is this color better with my skin and for this situation, and well, WHAT DOES IT REALLY say about me?” “How do I build my own sense style, where I not only fit in with my group, but stand out at the same time?”
In closing, I look forward contributing to everything that is added here. My promise to you is that you will only receive the best feedback, based on Dr. Paul’s teachings combined with my professional experience and knowledge.

Nicketas is the author of 4 Self-Help books, A Personal Development Blog, a Licensed Coach for Dr. Paul, Freelance Consultant, and an Entrepreneur, with a passion for art, design, aesthetics, and helping people.
His consulting credits include 2 Dr. Paul seminars and 2 Atlanta, GA (USA) based startup companies (A Game Development Firm, and A Web-Based Software Application Company).
Having shown remarkable intuition at an early age, Nicketas has been the go-to advice guy amongst his circle of friends for years. He has been closely studying and following Dr. Paul's Materials since 2005, and coaching since 2007.
He is 27 years old.
On Women:
Nicketas has had a fascination with women since age 3 when he decided he wanted a girlfriend. Since then, year after year, he has had the experience of being a "half-natural" with women. Some years he was surrounded by women, other years it was "let's just be friends", sometimes the unwitting and naive target of feminine seduction, and other years still he would find himself pining for that special girl, his experiences and general ease of communication with women taught him much but he didn't seem to be able to QUITE get THE girlfriend he'd always wanted.
After being immensely heartbroken and blindsided by an unforeseen breakup with a girl he'd been friends with for years, and even more perplexed and frustrated by the mixed results he was getting with women in general, he found his way into the men's community online.
Though he learned much from a couple of the more popular dating coaches available, he found himself still frustrated by the challenge of mixing THEIR advice with HIS natural personality.
Enter Dr. Paul.
Since Nicketas has had an interest in psychology for much of his life, Dr. Paul's "Deep Inner Game" came across as something of a Godsend, and finally Nicketas started to really be able to make sense of his dating results.
Since then, and the advent of Both Omega Male Programs, dating and understanding women very deeply has become second nature.
Nicketas (like all coaches here on this forum) is heavily entrenched in Dr. Paul's Material, and he specializes in helping men with the concepts of Emotional Mastery, Energy & Nonverbal Attraction, Mission Discovery, Romance & Understanding Women.
ManOnAMission: Like a lot of guys here, growing up I was your typical nerd. I had a lot of "book-smarts" but much less in the way of "street-smarts". I used my natural curiosity and intelligence to get a PhD in the natural sciences, and this is related to my current career path. However, I was not happy when it came to my social and dating life. I always ended up being the 'friend'. More to the point, I have known all too well the sense of powerlessness many guys feel when it comes to women, such as seeing a girl you'd really want to approach but don't have any idea how. That is a sad feeling that all the money in the world and career success can't solve.
I came to Dr Paul's forum in November 2007. At the time, my career was going quite well. But I still wasn't really over the break-up with my girlfriend, and I had no idea how to meet more women. I was determined to get this area of my life handled. Thanks to the Dr Paul's Omega program, direction from other guys in the forum, the weekly conversations with Dr Paul himself via the teleseminars, personal mentors I have been blessed to come across, taking up new hobbies such as rock-climbing, and yes, lots and lots of practice on my own approaching and meeting women in coffee shops and grocery stores, I have come a long way. I was asked to become a moderator in the forum June 2008.
If I could give guys some advice here, I'd say this:
1) Success with women is as much as how you approach the rest of your life as it is about anything else. There is hardly anything more repelling to a woman than a guy whose life revolves around meeting girls. So I would tell guys starting off to step it up in other areas of their lives--pursue meaningful hobbies that make you grow, and so on.
2) You get good with meeting women in your body and your right brain too. You want to strive for the confident grounded energy when you approach her. We have something called mirror neurons, and women have many more than we do. What that means is that if you are confident and turned on, she will likely feel good and be turned on too. If you are nervous, she will feel nervous too.
Welcome to the forum!
Archangel: The dating game is an interesting thing. It is something that seems so disgustingly difficult, complicated, dangerous and impossible to fathom. Women are so out there so unobtainable so difficult and so damn awkward. Well at least that’s how it seemed.
I started university as someone with very little skills at talking to women, but amazing video gaming skills! University was going to be my time to try to do better with women. But it still did not happen, all those women around all those open opportunities and nothing. At the end of my first year I was down and out. The start of my second year was mostly the same story. Until one day I came across the Double your Dating programs when everything changed. All the sudden women were actually finding me attractive. It all seemed so great. However.
A few years pass and I am in a relationship but something still isn’t quite right. So when I found out that the Dr Paul road show was coming to my town I decided to jump at the chance to learn more about socialising and psychology. It was well worth it as I learned more about myself than ever before. I learned to respect myself, to trust in my own ability to reason, trust in my own opinions. To be my own man. To be me.
I now enjoy my daily interactions with women being able to turn on the attraction when I need to and since that time I have grown a huge passion for the sciences, for reasoning and for understanding. I jumped at chances to see some of the world’s top evolutionary theorists speak.
I now believe that the mating game has to be one of the most integral parts to our psychology as humans. The mating game appears to have been one of the main evolutionary mechanisms which shaped the human brain into being such a social and creative device. So in order to understand yourself you need to understand the mating game. The brain is a fantastic bit of hardware which houses everything that you are and everything that you will ever be. Your emotions, instincts, memories are all up in your brain. Your mind, your soul, your personality are all stored in the brain. So I am working with Dr Paul to help other people learn how to use this bit of hardware more effectively, by using the so called software which Dr. Paul has developed. Software which allows people to for the first time use the brain more effectively.
The European team and I are now running Bootcamps monthly in Europe. This is not PUA training, this is your training, this is learning to be a Man, learning how to use the piece of hardware in your head, how to be a gentleman with an edge, how to be yourself. I hope to meet you all one day.
SaecoPink: a sassy taskmistress with a heart of gold (it’s cliché, but it’s so true!), a firm hand, and a good sense of humor, who has the great honor to be the first female Moderator in the Men’s forum! The other story is that I'm a never-married, 42 yo, native San Franciscan living in Los Angeles after moving to Paris to complete my B.A in International Affairs. I went for that degree following the worst relationship of my life. Kids, don't move in with someone you've known only a short time. It won’t last, I guarantee you. I know of so many married-after-three-months, divorced after two years stories, I could write a book.
The upshot is that I was exposed to Buddhism. In the absence of other clinical psychological support, I couldn't recommend anything higher. Not gonna preach it, tho.
I've been doing the internet dating thing since the beginning of time (okay, prior to that I did telephone dating – see, back in the 80s, there wasn’t an internet as we know it today, there were only telephones. So self-arranged blind dates were done via a toll call voice-mail type setup. People would call 1-900-dateme, etc. and place a voice-ad & answer voice ads. God, I'm OLD!) and have yet to find my guy. However, I have managed to set up a guy I met online with a friend of a friend. They've been living together for over a year now.
I found out about Dr. Paul after stumbling upon Christian Carter and reading his extremely helpful text "Catch Him and Keep Him." Prior to that, I hadn't understood the fundamental communication and world view differences men had in comparison to women. Eye opening for me.
Well, that text spurred my interest in understanding more about how men communicate with women. I just kept trying to expand my knowledge base of things that interest and concern men. Men.com is definitely something I found useful to touch base with every now and again. Youtube is essential, of course. So many dating and relating gurus post their material there.
I found Dr. Paul’s blog, forum, and newsletters via womenshappiness.com and while exploring that site, discovered that there was an entire universe of material devoted to men and their pursuit of fulfilling relationships with women, and themselves. Well, that introduced me to a whole new environment for a thinking person’s approach to the mating and relating process.
I hope my unique experiences and point of view will enrich your life journey as much as yours will mine. I also wish you rapidly achieved wisdom and self happiness.
