"Two years ago on a coaching course in LA, I met Destin Gerek, at a time in my life when I was a mess in how I was relating to women.
At the time I knew I'd found a man who could really help me sort out what was holding me back from having the romantic life I wanted.
Prior to meeting him, I'd studied and worked with pick-up artists who were the alpha-male "I'll help you date multiple hot women" types.
Rating women out of 10. Focusing on sex as the goal. Going out with wingmen to prey on women. Marking endless notches on their belt and leaving a trail of hurt behind them. Unable to form quality relationships of depth with women.
But Destin was different. He really cared about women. He deeply understood the importance of safety for women, both physical and emotional.
His wisdom on seduction went far deeper than the professional seducers I'd worked with. They were like kindergarten students compared to him.
It was a life-changing pleasure to do the equivalent of a PhD in Understanding Women with him during my time as his apprentice.
My work with Destin was one of the major components of moving from a place of having loveless or toxic relationships with women, as well as a lot of empty casual sex, to a place of being in an awesome healthy relationship with an incredible woman.
A relationship that has real depth of love. A relationship that found and continues to find my edges for expansion. Where my beloved and I create the kind of relationship that works for us, rather than blindly follow how we were told a relationship should be.
The work I did with Destin was the fire-cracker up the bum I needed. To turn my focus to being a student of women, with full authenticity. To understand that although there'll always be an element of mystery to women, there is a LOT that can be understood by a man. To understand that the journey of understanding women continues until the last breath. To understand that very few men on the planet really understand women well. To understand that most of the men who claim to understand women, only understand them at a relatively superficial level." --@Dave McDermott
