In today's era, the world of dating has become quite complicated. Many guys are confused about how to talk to girls properly, how to make connections or how to avoid the friendzone. In such a situation, 'dating coach' has become a new profession, where these gurus take thousands to lakhs of rupees to teach single men how to impress attractive girls.

According to a news report by TOI, many names are coming out in this business. Such as Yaduveer Singh Manhas, who teaches boys the art of 'cold approach' to girls, i.e. talking directly to unknown girls. According to her, if you do not see that girl again, then you have to be more active. The course involves practicing conversations with girls in public places such as bars, clubs and malls. Recently, the cost of such training on his Bali trip was Rs 4 lakh per person. Dating coaches have another dictionary of terms like 'closing'. Closing means getting a number, kissing or reaching for sex. For these gurus, it has become a kind of game, where girls are seen as targets.

What do coaches and their students say?

Pratik Jain, who was earlier into finance, now advises men to adopt 'real masculinity'. Her Instagram is full of videos that show that talking to women is an art that needs to be learned. Self-confidence is the biggest change for their students. At the same time, the course of Arunav Gupta of Faridabad is also similar. They first get their students a fashion makeover. After this, they are given tasks like talking to new people every day. According to Arunav, girls let you know if they are interested in talking to you or not. If she's smiling or her feet are towards you, it means she's interested.

However, some tips are useful in these courses, such as not thinking of conversation as performance and focus on experience. But most of the tips treat girls as an object. For example, some videos mention underage girls being bridged, which is morally incorrect. Interestingly, the coaches themselves admit that their students pay more attention to 'results'. As one of the coaches, Kashtiz Sehrawat, says, "Students want to associate with beautiful and attractive girls. Their focus is not on self-improvement, but on validation.

This world of dating gurus instead

of dating gurus in society raises questions. Is it really teaching men to make genuine connections or is it just making a game to woo women? Many of the content in these courses not only replicates the old gender stereotype, but also ignores girls' consent and emotions. Experts believe that the real problem lies in the social upbringing of Indian men, where social distancing is created between boys and girls since childhood.
