I’ve been told by some people who’ve interacted with me virtually or in person that it doesn’t seem like I ever laugh or enjoy laughing. Apparently, I come off fairly serious. And I too admit, I’m not a funny guy. I finished improv class level two and three and then most of my classmates and I auditioned and I got added to a minor league team that practices and performs twice a month. It’s been a few months of doing this and there is one girl there who is somewhat cute. Today, I had practice, and I realized some part of me still need to work on treating her the same as everyone else, and not being nervous around her or to reactive to her. I try to work on that, sit next to her, treat her like everyone else, and I noticed there’s room to improve. There’s still some jitteryness there since she is not like most of the people there who are men or old people. I tried having a short conversation during the intermission of practice with her since I need to work on talking to her and I feel like I’ve been avoiding her and staying more comfortable by talking to men usually. The conversation was short and then she went back to her phone, so I talked to someone else, trying my best to externally just treat everyone the same. The point is, after class, she took me by surprise and came up to me specifically and told me that I’m very funny and some other compliments. I wasn’t as present as I could’ve been so I can’t remember the other compliments and I was taking it back. I just went with the moment and thank her for the compliment and started talking about how I bumped into a former team member who also complimented me recently. Then we left and I said great job today. This is a win on many levels because someone literally went out of my way to acknowledge that I was funny, plus it happened to be the girl, and it’s a sign that I am noticed rather than just see. As another invisible member of the crowd, which can sometimes happen. So take that! To anyone who thinks I can’t be funny.

I wasnt aware I was doing this but now, ever since Michael pointed it out, Im doing it less to men and women thanks to MOA. I realized I was doing this in ig dms from moa members and other men. But realized no need to write a whole paragraph or more explaining something to them when a yes or no can do. Especially when Im already busy and have other priorities. One guy asked how active I am. If they want proof, there is tons that Im active. No need to go out of my way to prove it. Other people often give me unsolicited advice. No need to give them an essay response of why I dont need it and why theyre incredible. A thumbs up or a thanks will do. Then ignore them

I joined MoA in December 2021, back in the day when all the people who are coaches now were starting out as well. I’ve met most of them personally and lived with Michael for a month. I’ve witnessed a lifestyle I wanted for myself, and I had never seen anyone else live it before (least of all dating coaches). So I made it my absolute priority to burn through MoA and apply all the lessons as fast and clean as I could. It’s an amazing program, and if you follow it without adding your own touches to it too early I`m positive 99% of people can get great results after 6 to 12 months of implementing it. The last 3 years have been a very rewarding and amazingly interesting ride. I’ve gotten to know amazing people, experienced great adventures and also made some of my closest friends along the way. It’s not an exaggeration to say my life would’ve been radically different and a lot less fun had I not signed up for the program. My social connections, dating, and overall happiness are at a stage I honestly didn’t think possible, and if the journey would be over tomorrow, I could honestly say I’ve done more than the average man could do in several decades. I’m very grateful I found this thing still in my early 30s, and I’d like to give something back. That said, I have seen a lot of people reaching out asking for tips to get started. Also I’ve witnessed some or most guys (including myself) make some serious mistakes impeding their progress, so I thought I’d share my main takeaways and learnings along the way. This is highly subjective of course, here`s my IG if you want to check out what I’ve been doing these past few years: https://www.instagram.com/maxrichrt/ So here we go: - Really, REALLY fix your instagram first. It’s mentioned plenty in the program so I won’t go into it much. But I recommend you spend at least 3-4 months prioritizing this to a point where your Instagram has impressive content and around 30-50 posts, before you even consider anything else.

Things Im coming into the New year with -be less reactive to everyone. Last year, it became apparent how reactive I was to strangers or cold women. This goes beyond dating to life in general. Dont let people you cant control swing your mood. -qualify less -work on how I speak to improve my dating. The other things are more personal development. This is the number one thing Im told to work on in with dating by those I trust -juggle less advice and tips and focus on improving one thing at time. And be able to handle getting a flock of advice. People are going to do what they do including give a deluge of unsolicited advice. I need to be able to sift through it without reacting and listen to those credible only and not be overwhelmed -be more happy by not causing myself self inflicted misery. I need to take things I have less for granted, be more happy, and not focus so much on what I dont have in dating or life that it causes so much mental misery. I have so much. To be born in the usa, I already won the lottery. Gratitude. I became aware of the mental stress I put myself through unnecessarily last year. How about you?

http://www.instagram.com/maven_mansion We had our first public event and quickly realized the property can host 100+ easily. Our parties are about to scale up in a big way now that we've given it a proper test run. If you'd like to live with us on the property and learn how we run events, this your last chance as we're about to fill the house with models and experienced MOA alumni. If you want a room of your own, prices begin at $1500/mo. We're aiming to do monthly photoshoots with large (paid) events of our own every other month, and possibly host events for others as well giving us access to even larger networks not typically native to the team.
