Vin DiCarlo's Reviews (Cumulative)

[Ringshifter]

Wax on Wax off, that was definitely the theme for this weekend.

||||||So I have never done a boot-camp in my life, there are so many that seem to offer a lot, but I just wasn't wasn't able to really commit and throw down that kind of cash. Then I heard about Vins boot-camp. I was extremely skeptical of Vin before I took his workshop, between his scary avatar on the board (woodhaven) and the really bad skeezy press in the Boston magazine combined with him not being as well known as some of the other "gurus" I had no idea what to expect. Thanks to some guys who have met/talked with Vin first hand, my anxiousness was relieved.

|||| Vins form of pick up is drastically different than anything I have ever seen, same with his style of teaching. I am tempted to say that everything you now know about pickup is wrong, that's definitely not the case, but Vin seems to really be on to something here. Vin does drill based exercises that make you prepared in the field. Like I said earlier, I felt like he was the mr miyagi to my karate kid. The whole weekend it was paint the fence and wax on wax off. The drills that Vin made us do put behaviors into my head that just naturally came out of me when I was talking to girls. A anonymous member of this board put it best by saying "This is the fastest way to get good at pickup with out turing yourself into a dancing monkey"

||||If you feel bogged down by all the "knowledge" that you know when you walk into a bar as I did, if you feel that your really close to getting over that hump, yet still really far away, if you hate the idea of running DHV routines and wish you could just be yourself around a girl and just have her like you for who you are, this is the workshop for you.

||Vin turns you into a natural, as he did to me. While I still have a LONG ways to go, I am no longer going to chase any more info, the VERY LITTLE amount of info/theory he provided us with was more than enough to complete an entire sarge from open to lay, this covers EVERY ASPECT of your game, from inner game, dominance to everything. I am extremely thankful for this weekend, I feel completely transformed into a completely different breed of pick up artist, one who doesn't rely on DHV stories and Canned material or anything like that, I feel like.....a natural.

If I we're to give Vin a title it would definitely be "The most powerful of all the Jedi" definitely more so than all those "gurus" out there who supposedly have great info. The reason why I say this, is what sets Vin apart from other PUAs is that his style of game is incredibly organic and open and honest and free-flowing, exactly what a real confident alpha male should be. Vin doesn't help you pretend and fool a girl that your a dominate male, he MAKES you a dominate male.


||||With all that said, I suppose its time for a field report. For those of you who know me in real life, you know that I've known/been apart of the community for about 1.5 years. I've been collecting gobs and gobs of theory and info which is great and interesting, but incredibly useless in the field. Tonight I had the biggest breakthrough in my game than ever in my entire life.....EVER. But before I go into that I have to do a full weekend recap.

|| So friday night after the first set of drills, me and my fellow bootcampee's, as well as Vin, Alf, Brian and Bob(who are equally as good instructors) went out to Underbar in Boston.

|| Underbar is a really posh spot, house music, hot rich girls ect ect. The venue was really loud which made verbal game very difficult. But based on what we had learned about warm dominance that day we still had a decent night. At first everyone was really nervous about approaching, but watching Vin, Alf and Brian really show what the 3second rule is all about, was very inspiring. Many of us (including myself) got blown out of some sets, but most (if not all) of us dominated some sets.

||||The highlight of my night was when I approached a girl and yelled some nonsense into her ear (the words didn't as it was sooooo loud)||she responded with "I have a BF he's in the bathroom right now" in which I instinctively responded with "oh thats great blah blah blah blah blah" and being dominate and very positive and organic, I did not have a single line of text planned out for this interaction nor did I for any interaction the entire weekend.

|||| What shocked me as after talking to this girl for a while I said "yeah, you really don't have a BF do you" and she said "yeah well....its this guy, he's trying to be my BF I'm just really not into him like that"||I was fucking stunnnnnned. As she said that her "BF" came over and was trying to be very aggressive and AMOG me, saying "I see you met my GF here" I said "its ok bro, she just told me your not her BF that your TRYING TO BE, she's just not into you like that, but its ok cause that's why I'm here" (mind you I was pretty sloshed when I delivered that line) the look on his face was priceless, lucky for both of us I was "rescued" by her friend and I ejected, not a great out come but still solid for a first night of totally new game.

|| After the second day of drilling we all went out and Tore up Allston, starting with||the whitehorse. Brian literally defines what it means to obey the 3second rule, literally 3seconds after the bouncer gave him his ID back he was chatting up the hottest 4set in the entire bar. All of us workshopee's did really solid that night. most if not all of us number closed. I number closed a hot 26 year old pharmacist (I'm a 22 year old college kid) and I also number closed a hot girl that works at the victoria's secret on newbury (I can't wait to see what her employee discount has gotten her ||The really funny thing was, while I was chatting her up, her friends came over to try and "rescue her" but she literally said "not right now I'm talking" which also stunned me.

||The highlight of the weekend was tonight though, after the 3rd day of drilling, everything kinda just clicked and I really had my mind blown away by this stuff. I left the workshop feeling like a new man. I went out with my AFC friend and his girlfriend. We went to a bar in fanueil hall and....... I fucking owned the place. While I number closed about two girls, the majority of the night I was with this one HOTT HB8.5 girl who I fucking dominated and she ate up every bit of it. Oh yeah did I mention the fact that I KNEW she had a boyfriend.

||||I commanded this girl around and she had no resistance to any of it, lots of kino, lots of moving her around the venue (about 5 spots total cause it was a big place) I had tons of compliance from her to, from her waiting for me outside of the bathroom while I pissed to surprising me with buying me my favorite drink (yes that's right folks, I had a girl with a BF buy me a drink, something that has NEVER EVER happened to me before)

|||| I was so shocked by my success from the evening that when I was in the bathroom I had to splash water on my face to calm myself down cause I couldn't believe what was happening, I was in aw of myself.....and what Vin had instilled me. After tons of flirting and fun I had her leave the venue with me, another thing I couldn't handle, I had a tiny little make out with her but I could see her conscience coming into play. I went for the number close I said "we should get coffee sometime" in which she said||"yeah I had a great time tonight, but I have a BF" I responded with "nice, that's cool, but when we get coffee you'll just be with me, gimme your number" she smiled and said "ok" and gave me her number, I put it in my phone and it showed up on her screen and I even watched her save it in with my name. All in all a siiiiiick night.

||Now am I saying I'm a pick up artist? fuck no.
||Am I saying that I have it all figured out and have more game than any of you guys...definitely not
||
||What I am saying is that this weekend totally transformed me. It turned me, a man who had never met his father and was raised by women and taught to supplicate for them since the age of 4 into a natural alpha male. For the first time ever in my entire life I feel like "I got it" All I need now is practice, and practice I shall.||

||I HIIIIIIGHLY recommend anyone who is remotely curious about Vin and his teachings to DEFINITELY give him a shot, he is one hundred percent the real deal. I just can't wait for him to write an autobiography.

||Also, I know I am giving Vins workshop RAVE reviews, I'm full aware of that. But trust me when I say I'm being 100% honest with you guys, no BS, no marketing, all truth. There are other people on this board who did this workshop with me who I will let make themselves known at their own discretion.

||All in all, I feel like a new man, and this summer is definitely gonna be one hell of a ride!

Thank you Vin, Alf, Brian and Bob!

I never thought I would be writing a review of my experience at a seduction boot camp. The idea of paying thousands of dollars to hear a bunch of guys lecture brings back way too many memories of listening to some old guy with coke bottle glasses chat monotonously about theorems. While at first it was fun to listen to the old gurus spit game over audio programs and DVDs that often spanned a staggering 10 hours or more, I only became an uncalibrated, dancing monkey who memorized routines and analyzed Sperm Wars when all I wanted to do fuck hotties on a regular basis and eventually settle down with a great girlfriend.

So, with no hot female instructors to hold my attention, why did I invest in DiClassified Drills? I have long been familiar with Vin DiCarlo’s ideas when he posted about Natural Game under the pseudonym of “Woodhaven.” While I painfully memorized silly openers that made interacting with women a miserable experience, I read his “Transition to Natural Game,” which presented a whole new way of thinking about pickup. I realized that the very act of DHVing and using canned material was supplication in of itself and while I thought I was hiding my insecurities through my material, I was actually amplifying and reinforcing them. I rethought my entire approach to pickup and cleared up my inner game through The Authentic Man Program. When I learned that Vin finally started coming out with some products, I took some pointers from his Dating Diablo program and pulled a girl from open to close in two hours, my record thus far. Not only did I perform my first rapid, same day pull, but I closed her in a graveyard and had her begging me to double fist her. After that wild night, I figure, “Ok, this guy knows what he’s talking about!” So, I signed up for his boot camp, DiClassified Drills, where pickup isn’t something that’s taught; it’s something that’s experienced.

What separates DiClassified Drills from its competitors is the very concept of breaking pickup down into various components or drills and practicing those drills until you get them down perfect. Some of topics covered over 15 drillset sequences include opening and hooking quickly, maintaining and steering conversation, building credibility, preventing flakes, developing tight phone and text game, building sexual tension, and escalating rapidly and powerfully. There is minimal theory or lecturing. Rather, the focus is on developing and trusting your own intuition, which is crucial in conveying your attractive qualities naturally.

One concern I had going into the boot camp was whether the other instructors could deliver like Vin. There’s always that fear that perhaps Vin is the one who can really pull and the others are posers who are not much better than the students. Going in, I could tell from Vin’s products and his mASF posts that he probably has good game, but what about the other instructors, Alf and Brian? First of all, who are these guys? They have no e-books, no products, no mASF posts, or even a blog. I can’t go to the Better Business Bureau to confirm that they have some sort of pickup license. All I had was Vin’s assurance on the site that they too have solid game. Well, let me assure you, these two are the real deal.

When I first met Brian, I was immediately impressed because I could sense that he has a strong inner core confidence. Alf gave off a different vibe: warm, fun, and welcoming, almost like an Asian P. Diddy, though I didn’t see him dance. My intuition was proven correct when we went out and saw Brian immediately open and hook the hottest girls in the bar right after the bouncer let us in. He then waved me into the set where I got a bird’s eye view of the beauty of saline implants. As for Alf, I recall seeing him work this hottie in the club and she was totally enthralled, having a great time, and loving his presence. Again, he didn’t dance, but you don’t need to when you have solid game. More impressive than their pickup skills was their devotion to our learning. We actually went over in the boot camp because we had to repeat some of the drills until we all got them done right. They refused to accept anything less. With five students and three instructors, including Bob, the webmaster who also helped in some drills, I got one-on-one and often two-on-one instruction and feedback the entire week-end.

Another aspect of the boot camp I enjoyed was how Vin answered all of my questions concerning relationship management. So much of the resources of the community focuses on the approach and Day2s that there is a dearth of information on how to hold onto a girl after you sleep with her. Where are the products on managing LTRs or mLTRs? All the instructors offered very little theory and lots of practical, personalized advice.

So, I’ve discussed the drills generally. Personally, my experience at the boot camp is similar to that of “Daniel-san” in that old classic, “The Karate Kid.” If you recall, the main character, Daniel, is learning karate from Mr. Miyagi who seemingly takes advantage of him by having him performing menial labor around his house, such as painting the fence or waxing the car. Daniel learns later on that Miyagi has been teaching him all along when he naturally uses the movements he learned while performing the chores to fend off Miyagi’s punches and kicks. Like Daniel, I was skeptical at first as I found myself performing concepts I haven’t done before. Yet I pushed myself to get as much as I could out of the week-end and give it a chance as there’s always an awkward period when you’re learning something new. Later on when we went out to some popular bars and clubs, I found myself applying the concepts spontaneously with my own natural spin on it. Among the highlights:

-As I was walking over from one bar to the next, I ran into this girl who I opened and hooked immediately using role playing, one of the topics we drilled. As we strolled together arm-in-arm, we made it to the other bar when I picked her up, carried her into the bar, and playfully spun her around for all to see – and she loved every moment of it.
-I opened one set with a super hot brunette. Her friend tells me it’s her birthday and of course, I hugged her and wished her a happy birthday. She then proceeded to tell me about how she recently caught her husband cheating and that she learned her son was being sexual abused in school (Hey, I said she was hot, not stable). I immediately and naturally steered the conversation away from the negativity and had her laughing, smiling, and hugging me. She saw me as the solution to her problem and I amplified her attraction without offering advice or making the mistake of most guys and becoming her emotional tampon to dump on. Of course I got her number. If she’s that nuts in a bar, she must nuts in the sack...
-I lock eyes with another cute brunette who’s dressed up as if she’s an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean 3. She has three UGs with her and one hairy, dude. I opened her with my eye contact alone, which is actually the very first drill at the boot camp. I’m easily in with everyone but eject when they start trying to convince me to let them paint side burns on my face! I did steer the conversation away, but I figure it’s time to move on and get some non-arty chicks.
-This last interaction actually happened after the boot camp. I went to a bar with my usual wing who was showing off a new shirt his daughter picked out for him. I was demonstrating some of the moves I did on my sets during the boot camp when we spot two cute blondes eyeing us from across the bar. Actually, they were more than eyeing us; they were clapping in appreciation. My buddy and I enjoyed the moment and playfully took a bow when again, the Miyagi syndrome kicked in. One of the other drills we learned was how to reward a girl with kino when she gives you an IOI.

Of course, I have been in the community for a while. I have opened and hooked sets countless times, but I am not doing so more powerfully, quickly, and consistently. Like the girl I closed in the graveyard, I have had sex before, but never this quickly and powerfully. I slept with her a month ago and she still contacts me! The key difference is this boot camp makes my game more powerful, adaptable, and consistent. I am not a master pickup artist yet, but with the DiCarlo DiClassified booklet, which includes a detailed explanation of each drill, I now have all the tools I need to practice and reach my goals.

What fundamentally makes DiClassified Drills unique is best summed up with a conversation I had with one of my good friends this morning. I gave him a detailed, verbal field report of all my great interactions over the week-end and he asked, “You sure the fact that they were drinking didn’t have more to do with it?”

I responded, “That’s ridiculous! Sure, people were drinking, but if alcohol was the main factor, than any guy should be able to waltz into any bar or club and take any chick they want home. Yet, the very existence of the community proves that that’s just not true. I didn’t say the same lines or do the same things. Not all the girls were drinking in every instance. The common denominator is all the interactions was me!” That’s the difference that makes this boot camp unique and innovative. When you recite stuff you read off the net or do something you see in a DVD, you think you attract women by what you do. When you invest in DiClassified Drills, you learn how to attract women by who you are.

This is a review of the product called The Attraction Code by Decarlo Declassified


I don't know if you guys have heard of it, it is rather new, but Decarlo's Internet Marketing worked well enough that I bought this book, and I also bought the Impluse buy which was an audio Cd set for $129.

Anyways, here is my review:

The product puts a bit of a twist on the game I think. It basically says that you don't need openers and canned material, but what you need is a mindset change to be dominant.

The process of developing the right mindset is a little confusing, and I get the feeling that the author doesn't really know how to put his information together himself. THe guy is obviously good with women, and he runs his own boot camps and has in own instructors. He knows what he's doing, he teaches well- according to his testimonials, but his ebook is confusing.

What I did learn from this book was that you need Intention, Focus, and State to be in balance with eachother. He says that you need to have Intention to have Focus, and have Focus ot have proper state, but I think they need to be properly balanced for his ideas to work.

Anyways, I probably just confused you all, lol, but my recap is this book doesn't clearly display the ideas of teh author. If you read it though, you can develop some of your own ideas. In short terms his book says to have confidence. Just stick with general pickup my friends, and don't waste your money on this book like I did.

I took a bootcamp on the Weekend of May 23-25 and learned some dynamite pick up skills from Vin, Matt and Heartwork. I closed several numbers and a two set of Sweedish Sisters for a same night lay threesome. I am totally serious! I fucked two Sweedish Sisters together from cold approach within two hours on the Saturday night of the bootcamp! Without Matt’s coaching earlier, I would not have known how to break through their shit test and get them back to their hotel. I am not affiliated in anyway with Vin DiCarlo.

What I got from the drills was a great dominant mindset for pickup, smooth conversation, and kino techniques that girls cannot seem to resist. If you are serious about learning without being robotic or easily identified as a PUA, Vin’s is the approach to learn.

Before drills I just ended a very long term relationship and while I was slowly making progress, I was suffering from approach anxiety and losing sets to AFCs. After the weekend, while still not consistent, I have successfully closed several numbers and had a few great day 2s.

The cool thing about drills is that it is not just a placebo state pump. Drills takes you from mindset all the way to the pull. It actually helps to hardwire new behavior patterns and gives a roadmap for future improvement. The only thing that I wish that drills covered was LMR. I know Vin has some great techniques and I cannot wait to see what he puts out there on the topic.

I would whole heartedly recommend that you take drills if you want to actually get good in a short amount of time.

I'm 1/2 of the way through this book and I have to say it's in my top 5 of reads. The value vs the cost ($37 ) is awesome. I haven't read through the other 5 ebooks except the DiCarlo Escalation Ladder which is very useful but the Attraction code should be in every PUA's library. I still have another 100 pages to go though.

Dude,

The attraction code is a superior book. The better I got at game, the more I began to realise that I could say pretty much anything and get away with it. All my natural friends used to tell me there was no point in them teaching me how to get good with girls cos I just wouldn't understand what was going on in here [and they would always tap their temples with their finger as they said this].

The thing with the attraction code is you almost have to realise all this stuff yourself. I read the book and was thinking..shit man, this is EXACTLY the transformation that I've been goingthrough. Learning routines, then dropping the routines, then learning that being myself, my true self [not the super polite, 'gentleman' that society trained me to be and obviously not going out of my way to be rude] was the most attractive thing.

Yes, it is confusing, but I have seen naturals say things that 'seem' AFC but still get lays..its all in the way they're projecting themselves. For example, compliment openers have ALWAYS worked for me, but many in the community regard this as AFC. But for me, they work so well because I rarely give out compliments unless something actually really catches my eye; I compliment without expecting outcome.

But trust me, don't think you realise how much GOLD is in the attraction code. Have a little bit of faith, go out a little, everytime you find your old mindset returning, try telling yourself, women are lucky to speak to me, to have me in their lives. And you'll soon start to adopt the mindset of a natural. The way I got round it was asking myself, 'if I was a girl, would I date myself?' and of course, it was initially a no, because I thought I really had nothing to offer..so I worked on shaping a lifestyle that I would be proud of, aiming for goals that showed self respect and generally focusing on me, until eventually, I actually began to believe that women would be lucky to have me in their lives. And its funny how when you behave in a way that is consistent with your beliefs, women [and other people in life] behave in ways that is consistent with that belief.

Definitely my best pick up investment ever. And great too as a self help book, if you care to read between the lines. Can't wait to go on a bootcamp.

Peace, be still!

Vindicarlo's company scammed my money

I did not even order attraction code,,, the purchase of attraction code was not on my account, then he charged 67$ for the master mind series, i did not get my mastermind series account , then i was over drafted 25$ due to not having money in my account at the moment, they tried to charged another 67$ for this month

they did not respond to my email, i want my fuking money back,, damn company just hacking and scamming people's money, if they are going to charge me at least give me the fuking mastermind account god damnit,,

they do not even have a number to contact, such a huge company,, if they are not planning to email me back i m going to take care of this shit,, i hate scamming/hacking companies,,

Dear Future Pick-up artists,

Nothing gives more pleasure to a Man when he starts attracting women effortlessly coz he has internalized the Alpha attitudes to such a level that he is superior to most Naturals.
I write this email after fucking 2 women in 3 days and taking my number to 15 and i was a virgin 2 yrs ago.

My journey started with AFC, I took bootcamp with JUggler, RSD(i asked for money back), Mystery Method, Vindicarlo, AMP and read standard books on pick-up seduction by the dozens. I have taken courses in improv, comedy and role playing, NLP and ancoring, vocal training, alexander technique.

At the end of the day what really matters is how many fuck-closes you are able to manage while the woman happily initiates sex and does not want you to leave because you are Alpha. Rest all Complicance, KIno, day 2's , NUmber closes are useless shit, in my world.

Drills try to teach you what they have teached their trainer over period of many months in just 3 days and the end result is disater. NO gain, maybe a bootcamp lay, feedback is useless, coz once the instructor is not there, there is nothg much to reflect on, you do not have the mindset of the seducer.

Some of my Pickups have been ridiculously easy, without trying, i call them text book pick ups. VINDICARLO IS A RIP-OFF. Every word in their manual is from Travis Decker's "Authentic Man Program". IN AMp you have Nautral WOmen to practise for 3 days who are amazing in adjusting your emergy levels and curiosity levels and how to project a sexual persona, they are so passionalte and original. Practising such things with a Man is ridiculos once you have the AMP experience.

"Female genes reward Male status with mating opprtunities"..strainght from David Deangelo...ALpha attitides are covered in much more details in JUggler Method, Mystery Method, you have to look beyond the words and focus on the attitutes that the instuctors aim to instill in your personality.

There are many flaws in the Vindicarlo method which would impede your success and not help you reach your full potential as a Master Seductionist.

Results are what matters, i have pussy in my bed, happy pussy on my terms and i feel happy and satisfied with this 2 year long journey.

I wish the same success for all you future pickup artists, but explore more options there are many better individuals who can put you on the path to excellence,

To your success,
Viped

Right before the bootcamp I've been doing pickup on and off for about two years. One of which I didn't do anything because of an LTR. And I was stuck. I have plateaued and I was desperately looking for a way out. So I was searching for new information on the net. I gotta be honest here. Before the Drills Bootcamp I have hardly heard about Vin's program. But luck as it maybe I stumbled upon his ad on some other seduction website and I just happen to click it. I was pretty skeptical at first because I know absolutely nothing about Vin and *ahem* his website really dun give me enough on what he's about. But then I looked at some of his reviews and they have almost all been positive. And then. The holy grail appeared in front of me. They have a bootcamp in... TOKYO!!!!! Yeah I got a Japanese fetish. So I was like ok. What the heck. I'll just go for it. If nothing else I meet some guys I can hang out and pick up chicks with in Japan.

1st Day of the bootcamp. We met Vin and Matt at the lobby of the hotel. You guys know the drill. Started with a brief introduction to ourselves and we went right into the drills. They did not give us 6 hours of lecture on how to do a false takeaway. We just dove right into the drills. We were split into groups of two and we perform those exercises on each other. The drills are little exercises of things you should consistently during in a pickup. They were actually kinda funny in a weird way... like when u have to kino a guy with a huge friggin beard on his face but I do see incredible value in getting those skills. As we are doing our exercises the instructors would come into each group and give us feedback on what we're doing right or wrong. You can tell Vin and Matt were tired as hell due to their jet lag but they just kept at helping us out. Much appreciated.

First part of the 2nd day was more drills. We actually didn't do any infield work until today. Vin and Matt were very honest with us and told us that it's their first time in Japan and they are not sure about the in's and out's here. They don't even speak the language! But they promise they will calibrate the situation as fast as possible and let us know the results. Matt and Vin were winging us and giving us feedbacks. The surprising thing was the feedbacks were actually not that complicated. They just use one exercise in their drills and it can pinpoint your problem. Like mine was kinoing early and properly. It was dealt with in pretty much 5 minutes and I'll have some results to report at the end of this review.

Third day we just finished some more drills PLUS as a bonus for our good job Vin let us in on something that is not in the Drills Manual (a little booklet we get at the beginning of the bootcamp). Vin and Matt also addressed the language and cultural difference which demands some tweaking to our existing methods. Afterwards we went out for some day game work and the bootcamp was concluded on a great note.

Overall I think it's a great bootcamp. Vin and Matt are very personable guys. They are actually VERY normal. If you met them in the streets you'd think hm they dress nice but you would never think that they are pick up masters. At the night club Matt was able to get a Japanese girl giggling and totally into him in what... 15 mins? And then the next day Vin escorted a girl he just picked up on the street for an instadate and they were holding each other's waist like they're already a couple.

I was very happy that after the bootcamp I see a path in front of me. Before it I had no idea what to work on, where to go. But afterwards I know what my problems are. I haven't internalized all the drills yet but I'm working on them one by one. The night after the bootcamp me and another classmate ALMOST pull a foursome (yes we kinoed very heavily) and the girl I was gaming still emailed me a week after I returned home asking me to call her when I'm in Japan. Now I'm sorta in a casual relationship with this girl I picked up just two weeks before the bootcamp (I major kinoed her on our day 2 which was after Drills) and I'm actually trying to fight her off for a little more distance. I don't know if it has 100% to do with Drills but I'm sure it definitely helped.
