The system combines self-growth advice (masculinity, sexuality, being a man) with a step by step process to get a quality long term girlfriend.

The Creator – Christian Hudson

Christian Hudson is an ex-pickup artist and dating coach from New York City. He left pickup artistry around 2008 when he founded his company The Social Man to help men with both their dating lives and developing a better social lifestyle. Since 2012 he has been in a relationship with his current girlfriend.

Where Girlfriend Activation System Came From

It has been through a few evolutions since it was first released, and you may not know it. They are all the same course.

The original course was a video recording of a seminar in New York in 2012 where Christian presented the system. The system was very popular on the web, with 1000s of guys around the world buying it.

Christian decided to redesign the system after receiving a lot of feedback within the membership area and dealing with customers. This became GFAS 2.0 in the middle of the year. Los Angeles is where the new system was filmed.

GFAS 1.0 is no longer available, it was phased out, and this review has been updated to cover only GFAS 2.0.

Most of the video training modules are led by Christian Hudson. He had guest instructors teach separate modules in version 2.0.

They include: David Wygant, Alex Allman, and Nick Sparks.

Let’s start with what you won’t expect from this course…

Tough Truths and Hard Work: Are You Ready?

Getting a high quality girlfriend and keeping her in a stable long term relationship that is satisfactory for you both is the hardest part of dating.

The divorce rate is high, right? There are a lot of the same ingredients in a good girlfriend relationship.

It is easy to meet girls in clubs for one night stands or to create a harem of friends with benefits.

Hard work is required to get a high quality girlfriend into a committed relationship and one where you are going to be happy with her and her for the long term.

Christian Hudson does not back away from this message. The tone for what you are aiming for and what it takes to succeed is set in the first two modules of the course. He covers the many aspects of inner game, growth and how you look at relationships and your life that feed into this.

He describes his own journey with girlfriends and relationships, where they failed, where he failed, and what he learned with each.

It was great to see this, because often in the world of dating training you will be told it is easier than it is. Christian has done a great service by standing up and giving you the hard truth.

The Process of Meeting a Girl, to Dates, to Girlfriend

The process of getting a girlfriend is not revealed in the first 10 modules of the course, it is pre-work and preparation.

From module 11 to module 22 there is more focus on getting a girlfriend. In particular modules 19, 20 and 21 walk you through each date and meet with the girl scenario as you progress towards girlfriend status.

The process of becoming girlfriend and boyfriend after sleeping together is one of the things Christian talks about. The process for getting a girlfriend is different from how you approach casual relationships.

He points out that the specific slip ups men make in this process will be very helpful for men who haven’t been through the girlfriend journey often. His observations hold very true to the reality and he gives them amusing categorizations relating to dogs. It is easy to see where you have been going wrong.

The fact that a process is given to you is important at the end of the day. It is easy to learn, but I have never seen it mapped out before. It makes the process from meet to girlfriend very clear and you won’t have an excuse for not knowing where you are at and what the next step is.

Christian hits out at some myths that have been popularized by the pickup artist and seduction communities primarily about getting girlfriends, thumbs up to all of these.

Staying in the Relationship Zone: “Quality Men” and “Quality Women”

Christian talks about how quality women behave, how they are different, and what attracts them in this course.

He is focused on the things that matter the most for making the type of impression needed to get in the relationship zone and stay there.

Quality women are more immune to certain types of dating tactics that have been popularized because of how easy they are to manipulate.

This discussion of quality women focuses on women with strong personality and other qualities that are valuable in long term relationships, not just good looks. This is important because women of this type of mental caliber are more stable and have less drama attached to them. These women are more appropriate for long term relationships. If this course is right for you, you should consider the types of women you aspire to.

Relationships between men, respect, leadership, and how important it is to be perceived as a quality man in social environments, not just with the girl you are interested in, are part of this discussion. Christian connects this to the success of your relationship with your girlfriend. There are good, thoughtful things that you need to be aware of.

The Important Details of Your Life and Dates

Some of the details that Christian Hudson goes into in the 5th and 6th modules are a nice point of the course. Specific dates and situations to avoid, how you organize your dates with women, and so on are covered in these.

Some of the things he talks about are small, but they are important and most guys don’t think about them.

These are the sort of details that go unrecognized by most men, and most responsible for leading them to confusion when a date doesn’t go well with a girl or the dynamic between you and a girl dies off. What went wrong? Why did she lose interest? When things were going well, why did she back out? These details add a clear side to the advice from the first two modules to be able to figure out these situations better.

Is this Course a Good Fit for You?

This is a course with a lot of deep and mature advice given which is best for men looking at longer term goals in their life and thus the long term and quality girlfriend focus. It can be hard to follow the parts of the course where this happens.

There are concepts from How2TxtHer and Unbreakable.

If this happens to you, I would post some questions in the private community you get access to with the course, that should give you any answers you need for clarification.

This is the most important point here. You are expected to know how to approach and meet girls. These subjects give you some advice on how to modify your approach to getting a girlfriend, but they are not very detailed.

You don’t have to have studied those courses to get the benefits of this course, but you should have studied some good material on approaching and meeting girls, and experienced some success with it.

This course isn’t right for you if you don’t have any successful dating experiences. Before you can get a solid girlfriend relationship, you have to do your groundwork first. For a better place to start, check out our top ranked courses.

If you have some experience under your belt and have done the work on basic attraction skills, then you are ready for this. You are what we would call an intermediate level.

Have you said that? Do you want a long term girlfriend? This course has one purpose in mind. It is not for casual dating, picking up girls for one night stands or short term relationships. It could be for getting lower quality girlfriends. It is for finding a serious quality girlfriend, for reaching up and pushing your boundaries, and that requires effort. You may be disappointed if you aren’t looking for this.

It is the right fit if you are looking for a serious quality girlfriend.

The Bonuses, The Members Community and The Group Coaching Calls

There are a lot of bonuses with this course, but I haven’t yet read them. I will update the review once I finish them.

The course has interaction with the community. You can access a private member’s forum to discuss and ask questions, and you can also comment and ask questions on the modules. Customers of The Social Man are the only ones who can access these member forums. There were nearly 10,000 posts in these forums when I last checked in on this product.

With the 6 modules of the girlfriend activation system there was going to be a group coaching call with Christian Hudson set up for once a week, however this has now changed. The only one of the coaching calls that took place in 2012 that you can download is the first one.

Christian apologizes for the rough audio quality of the first coaching call on The Obsession Story and says it will be fixed with the upcoming version.

Most of the material in this call was a repeat of the material from the GFAS modules, with a few more details here and there, or different ways of looking at it. It doesn’t add much value and you wouldn’t make a difference if you didn’t listen to it.

Does The Girlfriend Activation System Live Up to the Video/ Marketing?

The video for GFAS makes a lot of big promises, which is typical of marketing videos or sales videos these days.

The Big Promises

• Which women it works with? Can get any woman to be your girlfriend no matter your situation.
• How easy to use is it? How much effort does it take? “The Obsession Story” is a simple process any “dim-witted” man can follow.
• Does it require you to change who you are? The video promises that you won’t have to change who you are.
• Is it manipulative? It’s not at all sleazy or manipulative and gives you totally natural approaches to get your quality girlfriend.

The Reality

• Which women it works with? If you’ve listened to me on the podcast, you should know that nothing works 100% of the time with 100% of women. This is magical thinking, if you think about it rationally. A good solid approach can work with a high % of women though. And this course is a good solid approach – I would expect, if used properly, that 33% success rate is achievable. The other thing to be aware of is that there are pre-requisites for GFAS working for you, like having fixed any basic issues like Image, Physique & Style, or your ability to meet women.
• How easy to use is it? How much effort does it take? The process is pretty straightforward – it’s not really complex, however it will take some thought and effort. It’s about as simple as it can get.
• How easy to use is it? How much effort does it take? You have to put the work in to get this course to work for you. You have to do the exercises at home to develop your sexuality, which takes time, and you have to put the time in to practice the practical examples and communication with women from the system.
• Does it require you to change who you are? Yes, and no. The program doesn’t require you to change into a super social guy or change your hobbies and interests. However, it does need you to work on your weaknesses as a man, and for some of them you may be attached to these weaknesses. You may be comfortable with them. The problem is that they are in your way – stopping you from getting the attractive girlfriend you’d like. So it’s unavoidable that you’ll have to “evolve” some parts of yourself, to be better and stronger. That’s what this program pushes you to do.
• Is it manipulative? GFAS hits the spot on this promise. There’s nothing manipulative in the course. It doesn’t have a lot of routines, or techniques to influence women in it. It’s primarily about developing yourself – to be the attractive man women are attracted to – and following a step by step process that will keep you away from making typical errors on the path to a girl getting into a relationship with you.

The big promises are not in line with reality. The big promises aren’t as extravagant as the majority of the videos out there today. The course is good at getting you a girlfriend. It has everything you need to get there.

It has oversold how broadly it will work and how much effort you will need to put in yourself. To make the course a part of you, you need to study and practice. Before you can use the material in the course, you need to be good enough at certain aspects of your skills. It will take a good attitude to make this course work for you. It won’t work on every girl in every situation, but it will work with a large percentage of women.

The limitations on this program are the limitations on any program. It will always require you to tick relevant boxes. It is as easy as it gets.

Negative Reviews, Complaints and Testimonials

The Social Man is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and has an A rating. 2 of the 4 complaints that The Hero Company has had over the last 3 years have been reported to the Better Business Bureau and the other 2 have not responded.

This is a pretty good record when it comes to ratings and complaints. Even the largest dating advice companies are not accredited by the Better Business Bureau.

The Bottom Line

We have found this course to be the best for finding, dating and evolving a relationship with a girl into a long term stable relationship. It is a good course to get a quality girlfriend.

It takes a lot of hard work to get the results from this course. This course tells it like it is without any empty promises.

It helps you with the details along the way, as it gives you a clear plan to take yourself to the end goal of a successful long term relationship with a girl you like. Excellent course. Two thumbs up.
