      FEEDBACK FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS IN THE STYLELIFE CHALLENGE

      “All I have to say about the Challenge is, ‘Wow.’ Before this month, I had never approached a woman or been on a date. I just had three dates in three days, and I have more numbers to follow up on.”

      —CHALLENGER NAME: DIABOLICAL

      “This Challenge has been the most inspirational month in my entire life. I feel like I’ve achieved so much! Taking into account that all of this happened in just thirty days makes it unbelievable!!! Seriously, this was the only area in my life that kept me from being absolutely at peace or absolutely happy: women!”

      “I already have a girlfriend, and I have no problems with girls. So why did I do the Challenge? Self-improvement. I must say, it has been an incredible boost, both to my self-confidence and to how others see me. I work as a waiter, and now customers are asking for me, girls are constantly approaching me, my tips are much bigger, and people want me to join their parties all the time. Everyone wants to be with me and in my inner circle, and everyone notices how good I feel about myself—and it wasn’t like this before.”

      —CHALLENGER NAME: RACEHORSE

      “She was French-kissing me and asking if she could see me when she gets back on Tuesday. I can’t wait. She’s not only СКАЧАТЬ
