Let’s be completely honest for a second. When you are a hardworking guy who hasn’t seen results on the apps, you might wonder if dating coaching for men actually works. For example, maybe you have tried swiping on your own and gotten zero replies. Or maybe you have focused all your energy on one woman for months, only for things to fizzle out.

“Is there no girl out there for me?” That’s what they feared… Good-hearted men worried, doubted and almost gave up until they’ve read this proven 5-Step Plan: Download your free ebook here: 5-steps to Quality Dates

Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to my client, Matt! He is a 43-year-old career strategist and evening entrepreneur from Maryland. Before we worked together, he felt completely stuck in a painful rut. However, in just two and a half months of dating coaching for men, Matt went from zero matches to 43 matches—and went on more dates than in his entire life!

Here is Matt’s story, in his own words, and the shifts that changed everything.

Why Matt Turned to Dating Coaching for Men at 43

On paper, Matt had so much going for him. In his daytime career and business, he spoke with women at networking events effortlessly. Yet, when the context shifted to romance, he froze up.

“My dating experience before Ruby… was really kind of sad. I was just talking to one lady at a time for three, nine, twelve months, getting hardly any responses. Meanwhile, I dabbled on the apps before and got no matches, no nothing.” — Matt

Like many good-hearted men I coach, Matt didn’t lack kindness or work ethic. Instead, he lacked a clear system. Outside of work, he felt tongue-tied approaching women. Furthermore, because he got so few opportunities, he settled for stressful relationships just because someone gave him attention.

Breakthrough 1: The “Photo Assistant” Hack That Built Confidence

Even though I live in San Diego and Matt lives in Maryland, we overhauled his wardrobe, locations, and angles for his online dating profile makeover.

Most importantly, Matt didn’t hire an expensive photographer. Instead, I challenged him to use my favorite real-world exercise: The Photo Assistant Hack for Introverts.

The Strategy: First, Matt dressed sharp and visited scenic spots. Next, he asked friendly women in public to snap a quick photo for his profile.

  • The Old Fear: Worrying that approaching a stranger would feel awkward or end in rejection.
  • Matt’s Real-World Result: Nearly 99% of women happily said yes, coached his angles, and cheered him on!

“Going up to women and saying, ‘Hey, do you have a few minutes to take a picture for my online profile?’ got me right out of my comfort zone. Literally 99% of the time, the ladies were so helpful! Because they were so receptive, my confidence increased tremendously.” — Matt

Bubbly truth alert: Women love helping a genuine, vulnerable man succeed! Consequently, walking up to strangers gave Matt top-notch photos and melted his approach anxiety for good.

Breakthrough 2: From 0 to 43 Matches (and a Date by Sunday!)

Once we selected Matt’s best photos and launched his new profile on a Friday, the shift was immediate. By Sunday of that first week, he texted me that he was already on a date!

“In two and a half months, I went from no matches to getting 43 matches! In fact, for five consecutive days, I got at least one match a day. As a result, I have gone on more dates now with your program than in my entire life.” — Matt

Why did his results skyrocket so quickly? First, his photos finally reflected his warm, ambitious personality. Second, Matt committed to daily action to connect with women.

Breakthrough 3: Strong Boundaries in Dating Coaching for Men

Getting 43 matches is exciting, right? However, the true goal of dating coaching for men isn’t collecting matches for your ego. Rather, the real goal is filtering for your future wife.

Before our program, Matt admitted his boundaries were weak. Because he craved companionship, he let women dictate his schedule or use him for expensive dinners. Psychological studies on foodie calls confirm that some daters accept dinner invitations with zero romantic interest.

Therefore, we built Matt’s standards so he could spot the signs of a foodie call early:

  • Protecting His Schedule: Matt stopped dropping his plans at the last minute. Instead, he made time for women who showed mutual effort.
  • Throwing Back the Wrong Fish: Whenever Matt sensed a match only wanted a free meal, he politely walked away without giving in once.

“Prior to your program, my boundaries were weak. Now I have very strong boundaries. Although I was tested and persuaded quite a bit, I gave in zero times. Ultimately, I stood my ground and held my standard for a future wife.” — Matt

Matt’s Advice: “What Is Staying Stuck Costing You?”

Today, Matt dates with clarity, and women compliment his confidence on every date. Finally, when I asked Matt what he would tell a guy considering dating coaching for men, he shared a powerful truth:

“Don’t look at the price tag of the program. What is it costing you right now to stay where you’re at? If you’re at the same spot five years from now, or in a stressful, toxic relationship… what is it going to cost you to stay like that another decade? To me, the program is priceless because of the future I know I will have with my future wife.” — Matt

Just like Matt and other men who transformed their dating lives, you don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m cheering for you every step of the way!
