One of the most popular dating programs courses out there right now is none other than the Tao of Badass by Joshua Pellicer.
As the name says…this course teaches you how to be a badass to attract and date women.
There has been a lot of talk going on about this product, and Joshua was actually kind enough to give me a copy of the course to review…but that didn’t stop me from being brutally-honest. (“Josh, I love you man.” :))
So here’s my full-indepth tao system of badass review.
My First Impression
When you first purchase the product you get access to the Tao of Badass membership area with an intro-video of Joshua welcoming you to the member’s area.
In the membership area, you have access to the complete Tao of Badass dating system, with other additional programs upgrade if you do so desire…yet this can be confusing at first not knowing what are all your accessible programs.
I was impressed by the quality of the amount of contents in the membership area, which are the book, audio and video trainings, and there lots of stuffs you can do, like post live-chat questions and view other members near your area to link up with.
Yet I’m not sure if I was the only person experiencing this, but the loading of each page in the membership area was slower than what I would have liked…let’s say below average-speed on a Broadband connection…but this is still a new beta membership area from the old one. Thus, this is something I do hope will be improved.
But you don’t buy a course solely for the user’s experience but for the information…so moving on to content wise.
Tao System, Does It Work?
Let’s start with the Tao of Badass book review, which is the first main part of the course.
The first part of the book talks about psychological stuffs, like gender role and society’s affect on it.
Then it gets into confidence, mindset, belief systems, and replacing negative with positive affirmation…mostly dealing with your internal issues and hacking your brain.
The majority of this won’t be new to you if you have been studying dating and attraction for a while, but if you’re a newbie, it will definitely open your eyes like “Ah Ha!” light-bulb.
Next was the different ways of handling different types of people based on their value-level.
After this, we slowly get into the elements of attracting women in your interaction with value demonstration and qualification and getting into the phases of a relationship and what to do to maintain from having one moment everything seeming so perfect to instantly being over in a second.
The thing I really like about this is Joshua gives you advice on the types of role you should be in each phase that will help you to interact effectively in that stage you’re in (e.g. Be a boy in Attraction, a friend in Rapport, and man in Seduction, instead of leaving you blind to just be yourself and be confident and you’re magically do fine), and some tale-tell signs to let you know which phase you’re in to act accordingly.
The most interesting chapter that got my attention was “Creating Love” in making a girl fall in love with you at will that you control for when you DO find the right woman you’re going to marry to reignite the love and keep the fantasy alive.
A lot of guys just want to get laid with as many women as possible, but hey you can only keep having so much sex before it doesn’t mean anything to you anymore, leaving you dissatisfied.
Going through the book, the Male Gender role is the key topic that keeps coming back as the basis of all your interactions with women.
At the end, all the concepts and contents are covered again nicely for you.
This book is more inner game and motivation than anything else. Doesn’t really get into actual dating advice, like what to do on a date, how to do it, or calling a girl.
If you’re already have a strong basic foundation and just looking for new advanced technique and fancy cool tricks, you might be left disappointed.
For me, the thing I wanted was more “how-to-do” instead of “what-to-do,” but then again…that’s also my learning style.
The book was pretty basic but a great way for those getting started building upon the foundation to base everything on and excellent refresher for the more advanced folk (talk about getting back to your roots).
I believe Joshua is trying to say everybody can be “badass,” and that “badassness” comes from within…you just have to unlock and unleash it.
Is The Tao Of Badass Worth It?
I found Joshua Pellicer videos and all the other contents and the interviews (which I quite enjoyed) more valuable than the book.
The Tao of Badass video and bonuses are where you find more of the “how-to” and techniques and elaborate more on the contents from the book.
The “Escalate Sexually” was the video I found very useful to know.
There are bonuses that show you “How to Stay Out the Friend Zone?”, “Successfully Date Multiple Women”, “How to Make Sure You Never Get Cheated On?”, and “How to Breakup like a Man?”
There’s also the “Subliminal Confidence” mp3s for those who have internal issue that will help a lot, especially before you go out.
Lastly, there’s a full “5-Weeks Body Language Mastery” complimentary course that could have easily been a separate course of its own but is included, which can be nothing short of generous of Joshua.
Tao Of Badass Summary
Would I recommend the course?
If you’re a beginner, you’ll get the most out of this course. The Tao of Badass will be a godsend to you.
If you’re already an advanced…you might find the majority of the materials you already know.
But then again…
Joshua is always adding, ever-expanding contents to the Tao of Badass membership area, and don’t forget the membership area is still in beta being updated.
Therefore, I find the real value is you’re not only getting a program but you’re getting a community…with other guys like you communicating with one another, trading tips and advice, finding local wingmen, and helping each other out.
For a one-time cost, this a great value-course…not to mention having Joshua there available at your disposal to personally answer your question that’s worth more than the course itself…this should be a no-brainer
If you’re interested, I recommend you jump onboard to get lifetime access now before Joshua raises the price when newer contents are added.
You didn’t mention anything about the fish bowl 😉
Best dating course ever!
