Would you ever try a dating coach?

I see a lot of dating coaches floating around nowadays and I can see why from their point of view, but I don’t understand from the client’s side. Maybe some people have tried everything else and a dating coach is their last resort.

I have nothing against dating coaches but it’s a strange profession that I doubt anyone dreams of getting into when they’re a kid. I also think It’s a little arrogant to claim that you’re an expert at something as complex as relationships.

Some relationships are easy whilst others are fucked up to the point it’ll make you sick.

Some teach manipulation

Although everyone is different to a certain degree, there are certain things you can do that will generally get good results when you’re interacting with other people.

In order to teach manipulation you have to be manipulative yourself. Basically, you have to manipulate someone into manipulating another person into liking them, it’s a chain of deception.

If you do a specific set of things and do them well then you can manipulate people into liking you, it happens all the time. The only thing is that you have to question whether the relationship is genuine.

Does the person like you or do they like the manipulation techniques you’ve been taught…
