"From Miserable to Married: After having talked to at least ten different coaches, among them being the most famous and well-known in the industry, Erik was truly a hidden gem with whom I could not have succeeded without. I first started coaching while trying to attract a girl I met while at summer camp as a teenager. At the time, I was young and new to the dating scene with no experience at all. After I eagerly signed up for coaching, I worked with someone who was not the least bit dedicated to my specific situation nor had the knowledge to properly understand how to handle it. Over the course of seven years, I worked with several different coaches, many of which were thought to be the best and most well-known in the industry. Nonetheless, they all exhibited the same shortcomings. I feel like their biggest flaw was not being able to relate to me and my unique situation. I was not trying to pick up a girl in a bar or learn how to get somebody’s phone number which I didn’t already have. I was stuck on a girl who I did not fare well with due to a combination of my own bad impressions and betrayals by former friends. While other coaches failed to understand my feelings and were frustrated by my choices to try to get this girl back into my life, Erik truly felt my pain and did whatever possible to help me. We spent hours going over the right text message to send to her, with Erik constantly giving me tips to sound confident and improve my communication skills with women. Although this girl later fell out of my life, it was Erik’s consistent dedication to morphing me into the attractive, outgoing man which helped me land the wife I have today. Erik convinced me to try online dating, hiring a professional photographer to take my profile pictures, and spending hours on the phone with me going over how to text, talk, and date new women I meet. When I met the woman I was to marry, Erik was with me every step of the way, continuously guiding me in the right direction, from pre-date prep or answering me right away whenever I had an emergency. This was the first and only woman I ever dated, and Erik’s exceptional coaching skills instantly brought me from 0 to 100 in a heartbeat. The biggest lesson Erik taught me was how to properly boost my confidence while developing fun and enticing methods to communicate with women. My phone calls, conversations, and text messages became much more polished, and what I once thought of as a arduous and daunting task in interacting with women quickly became a seamless and effortless endeavor. One of the most common expressions Erik often relayed to me is that emotions are contagious: the feelings you convey are often transferred to the person whom you are trying to impress. This meant that the more positive and comfortable I felt in interacting with women, the more positive and comfortable they felt with me. Erik taught me that a key to keeping such a positive attitude is to assume that the woman I’m communicating with already likes me, and when I had this in mind, my interactions with women would go much smoother. Erik’s superior abilities as a coach which enabled me to succeed are reflective in his interactions with me as a student: above anyone else, Erik understood me for who I was and was easily able to relate to me, which in turn made me feel comfortable with his coaching. His unique ability to understand and work with all different types of clients, regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds makes me confident to recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Being an Orthodox Jew who abides by many restrictions when dating those of the opposite sex was no hinderance to Erik in delivering the hands-down best coaching I have ever had. I can most confidently say that if it was not for Erik, I would not have been able to go from someone who has never dated before to a married man in only a year and a half. This man massively changed my life, and I will do whatever I can to get the word out about his superior and one of a kind coaching abilities."

"Before I took Erik’s workshops I was dead in the water. No women would respond to me online and I didn’t have the stomach to talk to them in real life. When someone would set me up on a date I never got a second one. I had no idea how technical “the game” was until Erik started filling me with his teachings. Mindset, body language, lifestyle, yes we worked on those but the actionable things were splendidly impactful."

"I’ve been into the game for a long time and Erik is the best kept secret. I’ve taken programs from several other well-established gurus and often find that I know more than they do. Several levels above the rest is how I would describe Erik. Erik, when are you going to stop being so underground and go mainstream?! In all seriousness can’t recommend your coaching enough. You changed my life."

"Erik has helped me take my flirting game to the next level. He is extremely experienced and is knowledgeable about all types of situations, everything from online to social circles. It is rare to find anyone of this caliber. He is more than just a pickup artist. He cares about helping dudes find quality healthy relationships. I would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Erik really helped me through a confusing time. I’m from Texas but was living in Pennsylvania. I went home for the holidays and ran into an old crush. We immediately hit it off and she kept saying that if I ever move back home that I should call her. That wasn’t good enough for me though, I was hooked on this girl and I wanted her right away. I just didn’t know how to do it from many miles away. Erik not only stressed the importance of communication, but instilled the confidence in me to go after it. We set up a game plan, I eventually moved back to Texas and we’ve been dating going on 2 years now! I can’t thank Erik enough for his help!"

"I have only recent found Erik. Working with Erik has been terrific! For years now, I have been striving to find a Dating Coach to work with me. That is very important to me because I’m a lifelong quadriplegic. My specific disability is Cerebral Palsy and I have never had standing or walking balance. It’s terrific because people by nature don’t want to deal and take the time to deal with someone my issues. Erik was so cool, that he came out to my apartment to talk to me and get to know me. So far, Erik has helped configure my profile on a dating website. As with everything else in my life, things are a slow process. It’s been made slower because of the current pandemic. Once we get passed the pandemic crisis, Erik and I will continue the process to the fullest extent possible that he has worked with and helped other men. My only real regret and disappoint, is that we did meet ten or fifteen years earlier. Thank you so much Erik, for your willingness to work with me and help me!"

"Before I’d started working with Erik, I’d had no success in the dating world: no dates, no kisses, no girlfriends, and no sex. It wasn’t that girls were never interested in me, but I would always lose their interest fast because of my own cluelessness. I’d also worked with another coach prior to working with Erik. The trouble was, this coach had charged a ton of money while teaching very little of value. He’d kept telling me to approach random women on the street, even when it was clear that this practice wasn’t working for me. Erik did two main things for me. He got me to change tack and do online dating instead of street approaches, which has worked much better for me. Also, while he taught me a great deal, he always encouraged me to use my own brain to evaluate situations with women for myself. Now, I’m much better off than when I’d started. I’ve been on dates with lots of women and lost my virginity, and now I have a gorgeous girlfriend with an awesome personality. Thank you Erik!"

"Erik has been my dating coach on and off for the last three years and we’ve logged over sixty hours of intense discussion. I had some experience before we met but I wanted to take my online game to the next level and with Erik’s help I did just that. My response rate has skyrocketed as has the quality of women I’m dating. When I really apply myself I get more matches and interest than I can handle which has allowed me to be more selective in who I date. I highly recommend Erik whether you’re looking for casual dating or a serious long-term relationship, and whether you want to meet women online or on the street."

"Erik is a great dating coach. He really understands women at a deeper level and he’s able to effectively teach what he know to his clients. Erik helped me improve the way I present myself before women, and as a result, I’m now happily married to the love of my life going on 8 months now! Thank you Erik for all the help!"

"I can’t say enough about working with Erik! I feel like I’m on a life high right now! I’m a tall good-looking guy, but I’ve always been so inside my head. I got 3 phone numbers and met my current girlfriend on my actual coaching session. Without Erik’s encouragement I never would have met my girlfriend and be in this position. I almost didn’t approach her, but Erik pushed me anyway."
Aleksandar Z.
★★★★★
"I would recommend Erik, if you are looking to up your game. He works on your specific goals and helps you get the skills that work towards you as an individual. He will critique your approach and give feedback. Nothing is left untouched, whether it be body language or voice tone. Erik’s attention to detail is what makes him awesome to work with."
