Dating for STEM Majors — The Social Skills Your Degree Never Taught You
Coaching for STEM grads who are tired of watching everyone else seem to figure this out.
WHAT SCHOOL DID NOT TEACH YOU
Why STEM Education Leaves Men Completely Unprepared for Dating
STEM programs are rigorous, all-consuming, and primarily male. They teach precision and hard work — but strip away the time, environments, and social reps needed to build dating confidence. Here is the damage.
The All-Male Environment
If 80-90% of your class was male, your social reps were completely one-dimensional. You learned to collaborate with engineers, not to charm, flirt, or connect across gender. That is a skills deficit, not a character flaw.
Studying Instead of Living
While your peers were socializing, partying, and figuring out dating, you were in the lab or the library. Now you are behind — and the gap feels intimidating to face.
Theory Without Practice
You can explain how attraction works conceptually. You have read the psychology. But knowing and doing are two entirely different things — and you are stuck in your head while the reps pile up unlived.
Post-Grad Social Desert
After school, the built-in social structure disappears. No classes, no dorms, no forced proximity. You are in an apartment, working remote, and your social life has evaporated. Meeting women feels nearly impossible.

ABOUT MIKE
My Story
The Beginning
I grew up as a first-generation immigrant. My parents had PhDs in Computer Science. English was my second language, and we moved constantly across the U.S. while my father finished grad school.
My entire childhood was focused on textbooks, not social skills. I was two years ahead in math and science, graduated from an International Baccalaureate program, and earned a Chemical Engineering degree.
I never went to Homecoming, Prom, or a single college social event. By 27, I had five years of lab work doing process validations — and virtually no dating experience, no hobbies, no travel, and no real sense of who I was.
The Transformation
I made a life-changing decision to invest in personal growth and dating skills. My 2011 goal: approach 50 women every week for 100 straight weeks.
I rebuilt myself from the inside out — bodybuilding, public speaking, improv comedy, photography, Toastmasters, mindset training, a Tony Robbins program, and deep spiritual work with ayahuasca in Peru.
I invested over $100,000 in coaches and mentors. I created a dating system using pattern recognition, psychology, and volume. I documented everything across 300+ YouTube videos — and that audience led to a coaching career.
Actualization
Today I live in a state of freedom and abundance. I've dated and traveled across 55+ countries. I've built deep self-awareness and solidified my core values.
I've coached 1,400+ men across 3,000+ coaching calls in 55+ countries. I've identified the predictable patterns that brilliant men — especially Asian, Indian, and tech-background men — make over and over.
If my story resonates with you — if you are tired of trial and error — I can collapse your learning curve from 15 years to a fraction of that time. Apply below and let's talk.
