Really doesn\'t fit the type. He\'s not about teaching guys to be tough, he about teaching them how to relate to women.

** In his case he is a mentor for men who are trying to woo the type of woman they'd like to spend their lives with. He gets quite offended when someone tries to hire his services just to get a one night stand.
