About Mathew Manning

Happy you want to learn more about me! I thought I'd put together some brief info on my background, what I do different from other "dating gurus", and why I think I can help.

If you're smart and analytical but get stuck in your head around women, this is for you

Perhaps you've told yourself that this is some unfixable trait. (That's what I told myself.)

In reality, you've been handed advice for a completely different kind of guy.

I help guys who can talk easily about complicated subjects... but around someone they like, their mind goes blank or their conversations feel bland and tame.

Who I am

Mathew Manning on stage

I grew up without a father figure so I never really had a male role model who could teach me about women and dating.

I had a high pitched voice and the girls called me "little Matty"

They liked me, but as a friend. And when I grew older I completely blanked out around anyone I found remotely attractive.

I eventually joined one of those pickup programs and spent a year in Las Vegas.

To my surprise I was able to get laid using their techniques. But it was also one of the most miserable periods of my life.

It was an ego boost at first. But then I just felt empty trying to bed girls I had nothing in common with.

I realized I'm not into partying and yelling and bars and trying to be "alpha".

I started to realize that I had been following advice for men who were nothing like me.

Why most dating advice is not for guys like us

Out of pure luck, I met smart, thoughtful guys who did the opposite of what everyone had been telling me.

Instead of adding techniques and manipulation on top, they were able to build attraction by being themselves.

Becoming truly attractive isn't about adding layers of technique and manipulation, but removing layers of anxiety and overthinking.

This fundamentally changed my life and eventually was the reason I met and connected with my wife. We now live in beautiful Chilliwack, BC (with a daughter on the way 🥺)

What my coaching is NOT

The whole alpha, pickup, manipulation approach DOES work, for a certain type of guy trying to attract a certain type of girl. But when guys like us try it (thoughtful, analytical, smart) it just feels weird. Because it isn't us.

And the opposite advice is just as useless. "Just be yourself and put yourself out there" doesn't help when that version of you feels anxious, bland or boring.

I also don't believe in the one-size-fits-all model most coaches push. Telling every guy to go do a hundred approaches a day, or set up his Instagram a certain way might give him a date.

But it doesn't actually make you a fundamentally more attractive man.

What it's not
  • Alpha posturing
  • Pickup lines & routines
  • Manipulation tactics
  • "Just put yourself out there"
  • Walk up to 100 women
  • One-size-fits-all scripts
What it is
  • Being genuinely yourself
  • Removing anxiety & overthinking
  • A learnable, codified skill
  • Tailored to how you think
  • Real-world application
  • Authentic attraction

The real problem is that you're too logical in an emotional situation

Almost everyone who comes to me secretly thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with them (I thought so too). But now after helping over 300 guys, it's abundantly clear that it's just a trainable skill issue.

Where you're stuck
overthinking analyzing blanking out
Where attraction happens
Effortless conversation Being unapologetically you Authenticity Confidence in who you are Emotional connection

Somewhere growing up, some of us learned it was safer to stay quiet. So we got good at thinking, analyzing, planning.

That served us everywhere in life except the one place logic doesn't work: In an emotional situation with someone we like.

Luckily, man-to-woman communication is a skill.

Some learned this skill early in life. But everyone has to learn it in some way.

There's a codified, learnable process behind it, the same way there's a process behind anything you've ever gotten good at.

Nobody taught us this. Not our dads, not school. That's not a character flaw. It's just another skill to learn.

How my coaching process looks

My whole approach is built on one idea: information alone doesn't create transformation. Applied information does.

This explains why you can read thousands of pages on dating and then nothing has fundamentally changed.

So this isn't a book or course you watch and forget. You learn the concept, then you go apply it in the real world, then you come back and we refine it together.

1

Learn the concept

2

Experience through role play or practice

3

Come back and refine

I work with a small number of men of the same markup (overly logical, smart but overthinking) so the coaching can actually be relevant to you, instead of a model shoved down your throat.

If it's not the right fit, that's genuinely okay. The guys who do come in are the ones it's clearly right for, and those are the ones who get real results.

Are you a fit?

Most of the men I work with don't want to sleep around or collect numbers.

They want one genuine connection. Companionship. Someone to share their life with.

I want that for you too. I want you to attract a woman you're actually aligned with, so you can build something real, and maybe a family, if that's what you want. That's why we call it authentic attraction.

We're not trying to make you become someone you're not. We're clearing what's been blocking the real you from coming through.

Expressing yourself effortlessly, without blanking out, without second-guessing, without looking for approval. That in and of itself is attractive to women.

If you're not sure this is for you

Almost every guy who reaches out has the same doubt: "I don't know if this will work for me."

That's normal. You're an overthinker. It's kind of the whole point.

You don't have to be sure right now. The next step isn't a commitment. We walk through your situation, and if it's a good fit, I'll show you exactly what the path looks like. If it's not, no pressure either way.
