Review Of THE
LEADING MAN
Product
Name: The Leading Man
From: Scot McKay, X & Y Communications
When I first
heard that Scot McKay was coming out with a complete system for relationship
management called The Leading Man, my first thought was, “well, it’s about time”. After all, programs trying to put a
different twist on pickup continue to flood the market, but this topic is both
critically important and dramatically under-represented in the marketplace.
We all
instinctively know that pickup isn’t all there is to being great with
women. Far from it. For many, many guys having a great woman in
one’s life long-term (or several of them?) is what it’s all about.
So perhaps
one of the main reasons why you don’t see a lot of info on relationship
management is because there just doesn’t seem to be anyone out there with the
wherewithal to address the subject fully and effectively.
That’s where
McKay comes in.
You see, a
while back he went through a pretty gnarly divorce and said “never again”. Since then, he has experienced a level of
dating success that would make even some hardcore PUAs blush.
In fact,
after having dated up to sixteen women at once, he figured out he needed to
have a real plan for managing his social life.
His friendships, his career and even his health were suffering.
And eventually,
having dated enough women to know what it was he wanted, he decided—on his own
terms, thank you—to build a future with a great woman.
So he identified
and selected that woman from many options.
And guess what? She was actually
very happy to have him do that. Go
figure.
Nowadays,
she’s by his side wherever he goes and they couldn’t be happier. She’s even the mother of Scot Jr. and his “partner
in crime” as a “dating guru” in her own right.
Basically,
if you haven’t guessed already, Scot McKay is the right guy to be teaching
relationship management.
So with all
that in mind, I got into the Member’s Area for Leading Man and felt like a kid
in a candy store.
First of
all, everything you expect to receive is present and in good working
order. All the audio programs are in
MP3 format, with the eight core programs coming with full transcripts in PDF
format.
If you are
familiar with X & Y Communications products already, you know that McKay
believes in keeping everything downloadable for instant access at the best possible
price point. There are no scratched discs or extended shipping times involved
here. Plus, McKay is well-known for
making “surprise” additions to his value-packed products, which the Member’s
Area concept supports beautifully.
It’s
important to note that although The Leading Man has a “Member’s Area”, this
really isn’t a “membership site” per se.
You pay one time and your ticket is punched forever. And at $97, that ticket is WAY reasonable
compared to most of the other products on the market. Most guys with products featuring this amount of content are
demanding at least double that price.
Having had a
chance to dig in to The Leading Man, the name of the program is perfect. Leadership is a major recurring theme in the
program, and for good reason. You
really do get that it’s the cornerstone of true relationship success. As McKay poignantly puts it, “Show me a woman
who ‘wears the pants’, and I’ll show you a bitter woman’.
But The
Leading Man is not really about being “large and in charge” as much as it is
about earning a woman’s respect and thereby having the absolute most fulfilling
lifestyle a man could possibly imagine.
Interestingly,
McKay believes in dating multiple women as a means of evaluating and selecting
the one for you someday…whenever that “someday” feels right for each man as an
individual.
So as
expected, there are complete audio programs detailing how to run multiple
long-term relationships and on how to identify, attract and build a life with
the greatest woman you’ve ever met.
He’s also got
a full program on “Core Relationship Management” that serves as a fast-paced
introduction to the overall topic.
From there,
though, is where the true depth of Scot McKay’s system starts to really become
evident.
For
starters, he has a program on “How To Decode Women” that my head is still
spinning from. Like every other program
McKay produces, there is absolutely zero-fluff here. Some have criticized Scot for avoiding even basic introductions
in his core programs for the Virtuosity series he produced last year, and he
does indeed appear to have found a middle ground there in his latest
offering. But still, it’s a good thing he
included a “quick reference guide” for this particular program, because he
blasts through a full 110 phrases that women use all the time.
Moving on,
Scot covers what to say to women in a variety of situations—presumably a
nice compliment to having “decoded” their words, right?
Then, he
includes full-length programs on such intriguing topics as, “Telecom Game”, “Character-Based
Kino” and “Crisis Management”.
You are left
with the distinct impression that every angle has been covered here.
And there
are some really nice bonuses included also, as we’ve come to expect from McKay. Notably, he somehow cajoled Alex Allman into
letting him include the version of Revolutionary Sex for couples into the
mix. Now Alex has pretty much set
himself apart as the “go-to guy” for sex advice among guys these days, so the synergy
there with The Leading Man system is powerful.
Overall, The
Leading Man delivers the goods…at a great price. Not only is it the only real system for relationship management
out there, you clearly get the feeling it would still be the best even if there
were others.
