This VR Dating App Has Been Making a Lot of Buzz–So What’s the REAL Story Behind It?
Have you heard of Dating Lessons?
It’s a new virtual reality tool created by one of our top thought leaders here at Gotham Club, Magic Leone.
The app aims to help men overcome their approach anxiety, and know exactly how to escalate with a woman, and when. However, it’s gotten quite a bit of backlash over the past few weeks.
The media has claimed that there is no “magic formula” to read women, and that using this game could cause men to “grope” women.
So we sat down with Magic to get to the bottom of it: Why is Dating Lessons being called “immoral” and “manipulative”? Is it all a big misunderstanding?
Here’s what he had to say:
What Does “Dating Lessons” Aim to Accomplish?
According to Magic, Dating Lessons is the perfect tool to help you approach a woman in real life without having any fear of rejection.
He uses the opportunity of a woman walking her dog to illustrate this concept.
A woman walking her dog is the perfect approach opportunity — especially if you’re out with your own dog. But what if you don’t know the best way to strike up a conversation?
That’s where the app comes in.
It’s a virtual reality “game” that simulates a real-life scenario where you can approach women.
So you can get practice approaching a woman…
Talking to her…
And knowing the exact moment she wants you to make a move.
Plus, because the app allows you to do it in virtual reality, you never have to fear the risk of rejection. It makes approaching women easy and stress-free.
However, sites like Refinery29, The Mirror, and even the Daily Mail are throwing Dating Lessons under the bus, calling it “sexist” and “manipulative.”
Magic clears this up:
This is not how to grab a woman while she’s walking and she’s not paying attention. It is about when you touch them, how to do it right so they actually enjoy [it].”
In other words, Dating Lessons is not a “game” that’s designed to help you target women, and manipulate them — it’s a tool that helps you know exactly when and how to approach a woman, so you never get rejected.
The Key to Touching a Woman the “Right” Way
Magic says that men today tend to get confused when it comes to touching women.
Because a lot of men are scared of offending a woman, or coming off as “creepy,” they end up not touching her at all, completely missing their window of opportunity. He says:
They don’t know what is right and what is wrong to do. Should they ask her on a date? Should they not ask her on a date? Is it OK to kiss a woman? Is it not?”
So when he created Dating Lessons, he did it with the goal to clear up some of this confusion men have about figuring out when a woman is or is not interested in them.
But if you decide to add Dating Lessons to your arsenal of tools, what’s the best way to use it? How can you get the most bang for your buck?
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Understand That It’s a Simulation (It’s Not Real)
The app is a great learning space, but women are more complex than the ones in this VR game.
Apply what you learn to real life, but also use common sense.
For example, if a woman is smiling, but seems “on edge” or uncomfortable, she might just be acting politely. Don’t try to hold her hand or lean in closer.
The app should help you become better at reading women, but you’ll also have to practice in real life. When in doubt, use common sense. Dating Lessons can make spotting the moments when you should “back off” much easier.
2) Use It Like a Guide, Not a Game
Sometimes, encounters with women move faster or slower than anticipated. That’s OK!
This app is great for preparing you for many situations, but it can’t predict all of them.
It should be used like any dating advice — as a guide to help enhance your flirting and dating skills.
However, it’s not a replacement for your own unique personality.
3) Focus on Your “Weak Spots”
When you use Dating Lessons, pay attention to the areas you find most difficult. Is it:
- The actual act of approaching a woman?
- Knowing when she wants you to make a move?
- Finding the right moment to “go for it”?
- Or actually making the move?
Whatever it is, pinpoint your “weakest” area, and practice that the most. And use what you learn in your real-life interactions with women.
Taking these tips and applying them to the way you interact with women can absolutely change your dating game.
Don’t believe me?
Here’s a story of what can happen when you master the art of talking to and attracting women:
A Well-Known Napa Valley Winery Was the LAST Place I Expected to Say “Yes” to a Threesome…
When Nancy, a gorgeous 20-something, walked up to me and asked, “This merlot has a great mouthfeel, doesn’t it?”… I was kinda confused. (Why the hell was she talking to me?)
And after a few minutes of small talk, when she put her arm around an older, more distinguished gentleman, and said:
“This is my husband, Mark. I’ll be honest… we approached you because you seem open and fun. We like to invite other women into our bedroom from time to time… would you like to come back to our place?”
…I nearly spit out my wine! I had always fantasized about a threesome…but with a much older man??? No way. Plus, they were complete strangers.
I opened my mouth to say “Thanks, but no thanks”… and then something crazy happened. Mark touched me… and I got turned on. Like, REALLY turned on.
It wasn’t even like a “sexual” touch… just a couple light touches in a few of my most sensitive areas… and I couldn’t f’in take it anymore!
Back at their place, laying naked between them, I had to know: “Mark… that was so freaking fun! But how’d you turn me on so quick?”
Mark didn’t say anything… instead, he started touching these “hot spots” all over my body… until I climbed on top of him for round 2, while Nancy watched… *mmmm*
There are 9 of these “hot spots” in all… I think #6 is my favorite 😉 :
