This Asian student? Yeah, he's not your run of the mill hardcase story.. Picture this: a young Chinese guy, John Elite Dating Coach Review…


Chinese student 5 11… same day hookup in 3 approaches pretty good-looking, and living in the States.


You’d think he’d have no trouble with women, right?


But, surprisingly, he was really struggling.


No matches on Tinder, no dates lined up...


despite being more attractive than a lot of those dating coaches out there,


he was still hitting a wall.


He sported this K-pop hairstyle,


was on the skinny side,


no muscle to speak of,


and let’s be honest, he had zero results to show for it.


The guy had only ever hooked up once, and it took him six long months


to make it happen with his first girlfriend...


strictly through his social circle type of setting.


After approaching for daygame, he decided to try something different after reading a John Elite Dating Coach Review.


Honestly, he had his issues.


There was a bit of narcissism there, totally emotionally blind,

and he couldn’t read emotions in either himself or others.


Plus, he was easily triggered.


Classic case of a cluster B personality...


hardworking, sure, but also incredibly stubborn,


always trying to mix in that Justin Wayne romantic “disco ball” game in the bedroom,


which, let’s face it, just wasn’t hitting the mark.


It freaked women out with his lack of emotional intellegence.


He kept resisting the protocol, insisting on doing things his own way, and naturally, he got nowhere with that.


This was all happening just as the Ukraine war kicked off, by the way.


He thought he could take shortcuts, sticking only to the Skypes from


Elite Bundle 1...


like Elite 30: From Hardcase to Hero for body language...


John Elite Dating Coach Rewview Product Elite 30

and the Elite Playbook for tactics. But it turned out that wasn’t quite enough, as he learned from another John Elite Dating Coach Review.


He was hesitant to spend money on Elite Access, even when I pointed out that it would save him loads of time.


But once he finally signed up for Elite Access?


Everything shifted.


He started sending me homework every single night...


real, actual drills and practice,


not just some field approaches.


He had to sneak out at night since his girlfriend was living with him, so

he’d go for walks,


do his drills in secret,


and then shoot me the recordings for feedback.


It was like a light bulb went off; he finally stopped resisting my system and dropped his ego.


He ditched the Justin Wayne romance stuff, the hand-holding nonsense, and just followed my instructions.


He took on the 21-day challenge, focusing on body language and social skills flow drills.


He wasn’t even working on tonality yet, but those two skills alone...

body language and social calibration...


were enough to bump his daygame score up by five points.


On top of that, he started building some muscle with my V-shape body plan, and man, did his confidence skyrocket.


He revamped his wardrobe, started looking sharp, and for the first time, everything just clicked.


All those drills and corrections?


They built new habits.


It takes 21 days to start a habit,


but 66 days to make it stick.


He practiced so much that when he finally went out there, he was executing like a natural.


No more mass approaches...


just focused practice.


Then, when his Indian buddy came to visit and let him use a hotel room, he finally had a spot to make a move.


He went out, did three approaches in the city, and on the third one?


Boom, a same-day hookup with a white girl.


Before, he wouldn’t have been able to pull that off, no matter how many attempts he made.


This just goes to show that it’s not about the numbers; it’s all about the right drills, the right feedback, and building the right habits.


He transformed from stuck and frustrated to getting real results just by trusting the process and putting in the work.


That’s the real deal...turning a hardcase into a guy who can hook up on the same day.


No more excuses, no more mass approaching, just pure skill...


exactly what you see in every real John Elite Dating Coach Review.






John Elite Dating Coach Review… Chinese Daygame student 5 11… same day hookup in 3 approaches in his own words


"I’m a 5’11” Asian guy from China

here’s my story

I have good height and a decent-looking face, at least for a Chinese guy

But honestly, it doesn’t really matter

It’s still really tough out here for us Asians in dating

Whether it’s daygame or online

I started with simple pickup

Got some confidence

Just spam approached

Zero results and lots of flakes

I tried Tinder

Got some matches, but honestly, nothing came of it

Maybe it was my pictures, maybe my texting

But I got zero results

Zero dates...

not just zero lays, but zero dates from Tinder or any online dating

It’s crazy, but I don’t do it anymore

Then I discovered Justin Wayne’s stuff

Really flashy, romantic, touchy stuff

I tried it, bought his product, and still got so many flakes

I pulled and held one girl home in two years of trying

Eventually, I got laid and she became my girlfriend

But honestly, that was more social circle game, not daygame

We were both in college, same social circle

I did hundreds of approaches before that

My success rate was maybe 1%

If you even count it as success

Thankfully, I found John Elite on YouTube

Just watching him, I realized why other methods don’t work
I’m a theoretical guy

My goal was to have consistent results with minimal approaches
I didn’t want to spam approach

John had testimonials from students doing exactly that
I got the Elite Bundle and Elite Access

The first month, it was just Elite Bundle

Then I got another month with Elite Access

And yeah, I got laid with a cute white girl in basically one day, with only three approaches

She was the third

To be honest, I’m actually one of the slow ones, for many reasons

But it still only took two months compared to years with other people’s methods

The first month, I improved a little

But I was slow to adapt because I had years of bad habits from past approaches and just life

I was hunching all the time

Didn’t follow John’s teaching completely because of my mental filter
I didn’t realize that until John told me

Even despite that, I was able to consistently pull

By the end of the month, without Elite Access, I was able to get results

But when I got Elite Access, it really boosted my training

John was always there for me

Looking back, I wish I had gotten Elite Access from the start

He actually suggested it, but I didn’t listen

Then my buddy came to visit me

He got a hotel and let me pull at his hotel, which I’m really grateful for

So I started approaching again

Despite all that, I was able to get laid from the first couple days

Just approaching with really minimal approaches per day

On that particular approach, we talked

Went on a walk for about 30 minutes

Arranged a date that same night

I followed John’s social flow drill and it really connected with her
I could feel it

It was magical

I’m pretty sure she felt it too

We went back to my friend’s hotel room

That’s where the magic happened

Everything John taught me was used

Body language, Facial expression, Fashion, Hairstyle, Facial grooming, Inner game. Objection dealing, Muscle building

So much more

Afterwards, she actually told me I was very sexy with my body

She said I had a little swagger going on

That’s probably from John’s workout plans and the social skills and calibration

They really notice these things

A side effect of all this training is my value goes up

Some of that value stays with me, even if I lose all the material things

What stays with me is my inner game

Body language, Facial expression, Flirting, Teasing, Muscle building, Even looks

Yeah, John improved my looks too, believe it or not

My longtime girlfriend’s attraction for me has actually gone up a lot
Shown through her clinginess and her effort in sex

That was pretty cool

I never expected that

John said relationships are really about value

If your value is higher, the girl won’t want to leave you

So the bigger goal in dating and life is to raise my overall value as high as I can

John has really helped me with that

Hopefully he’ll continue to help me in the future

Even though there are only a few big categories of value John talks about: Looks, Social skills, Social calibration, Money

The details and nuance are so complex

How you raise those things is very important

John has figured them out and is always exploring new and better ways
He’s a true innovator

Already light years ahead of everybody else

That’s why John is really the best

Let me get a little philosophical

John’s value creation isn’t zero sum

He’s not taking other people’s value to give to students like me

He’s helping us raise our own value through our hard work and his hard work

That brings positive value to the whole world

He’s not just making a positive impact for his students, but for everyone
Including the women, who have amazing experiences with higher value men from John’s coaching

That’s pretty cool

Also, less women get creeped out by low-value spam approaches

A lot of them get freaked out, but they actually enjoy themselves with high-value men from John’s coaching

John’s teaching style is tough love

At first, despite my good height and looks, I got destroyed infield with constant rejections

John would look over my infield and point out my mistakes during Skypes

I watched all the product videos, but it was through my own mental filters

Bad mental filters

So it was really important for John himself to correct my mistakes

He pointed out I didn’t know how to read social cues or emotions

I couldn’t tell when a girl was attracted to me or not

He taught me to overcome that with new techniques

When I didn’t perform in drills or infield, he’d give harsh criticism

At first, I’d get triggered and try to explain myself

But John told me if I just accept and execute his words with minimal emotions, everything would go faster and smoother

I did that, and yeah... it worked

My advice to you is really to just follow John, without much resistance
Do what he says

Importantly, don’t do what he doesn’t say or mention

Sometimes he tells you what not to do...

even if he doesn’t say it directly,

don’t do it

For example, I added romance stuff from Justin Wayne because I thought it would make John’s teaching better

That got me constant rejections

During one of my lays, I held the girl’s hand and tried objection dealing, and I got rejected

I didn’t even know handholding in the bedroom was too romantic

John pointed that out, and it made a difference

Sometimes it’s those tiny details that make or break things

I would never have figured that out on my own

John is just too good

The best part about his product is really John himself

He helps each student with the best personalization for everyone

He’s reached the lay and beyond,

but John is tough on us

I can tell he really cares about me and his other students

He told me not to risk losing my original girlfriend, even though it might affect my lay progress

He told me not to risk my job

He yelled at me for buying bad fashion clothing because I didn’t consult him first

He didn’t want me to waste my money

He’s even left his food to burn just to keep talking to me and correct my mentality

To help me go from hard case to not so much of a hard case

To just doing what he says...

which I’m really grateful for

Before I got Elite Access, he sometimes just gave me advice out of the blue, even when I didn’t ask

In the end, before I got the access, I wanted to pay for his time, but he wouldn’t take my money

That just shows he’s really not in it for the money

He’s in it for the good of his students and his mission and vision

Besides being the best game coach in the world, he’s actually a really great guy

He can sometimes seem mean, but that’s because he wants the best out of us

He can also admit to his rare mistakes, because he wants to pursue the truth in dating and life

He’s a scientist, and these qualities really show

John works so hard

He has so many students, but he gives every individual the attention they need

He’s very resilient and tough

He doesn’t get triggered easily

He literally told me to call him names and he had no reaction
That really sets the example for us

For me, I still have a long way to go to be the best version of myself

But John continues to inspire me to be better...

not just with his teaching, but with how he lives his life

So my brothers, whether you’re Asian or not, if you want to improve your dating life or just life in general, or even just have your future partners like you more,

I highly recommend you join Elite’s product and teaching...

especially John’s Elite Bundle and Elite Access

That’s what really helped me

But when in doubt, just ask John what product you should get
It might be different for everybody

He told me from the start: Elite Bundle, Elite Access

I wish I’d gotten the access from the start, but I was a fool

He never told me to get more expensive products or other things like Kaizen

He knows what each person needs to get over the line

If you’re Asian especially, you’d be crazy not to train with him

I really hope you follow John and get better

It might not be an easy road, but John will be there for you

Lastly, I want to say that this world is still full of suffering

There are so many bad things going on around us

I really hope you can join us...

especially join John...

to bring value and happiness to yourself and the world through John’s teaching

That’s all I want to say

Thank you very much for listening."




-John Elite (Best Daygame Coach In The World


 

Here is a John Elite Dating Review. Watch the video here.



So, there was this Indian engineer living in London. He really believed that dating was just... well, out of his league.


You know, he had Asperger’s, thinning hair, average looks, and let’s not forget the procrastination that had been hanging around for ages.


But then, things started to change when he dove into the Elite Daygame: First Steps program.


This was the beginning of his real John Elite Dating Coach Review journey.


That got him making those first moves.


Next up, he tackled Elite 30: From Hardcase To Hero, which helped him sharpen his social skills and get the hang of calibrations.


This was part of Elite Bundle 2, now renamed to Elite Bundle Resurrections.


It also comes with Elite Access, where he can whatsapp me for 10 minutes a day to check on homework...


Or ask for general advice for daygame. This is something you see in many John Elite Dating Coach Review from students who want accountability.


But the real game-changer?


Elite Tonality Mastery from the Elite Bundle Resurrections.


Honestly, with his near-photographic memory, he picked up the patterns pretty quickly.

That polished tonality?


It really helped him groove with London’s social scene sounding caucasian.


He even got some style upgrades and used Inner Circle tactics like maneuvering, building intimacy to the max, and looping objections.


All of that led him to a successful street approach, which is what makes this John Elite Dating Review different from all the Tinder stories out there.


Then, out of the blue, he met this white woman in London.


They hit it off, had some meaningful video calls by increasing the intimacy on it.


By April 29, 2025, they were officially together.


Fast forward to May 2025, she became his girlfriend.


And just this past August, he told me he’s picked out a ring because he is going to propose to her.

It’s not about grinding through a mass approach.


It’s really about following the right steps in the right order, executed smoothly.


Elite Daygame: First Steps to Elite 30: From Hardcase To Hero, then Elite Tonality Mastery, and finally, Elite Inner Circle.


This is the core of every real John Elite Dating Coach Review.


Pretty cool, right?


But the real game-changer?


Elite Tonality Mastery from the Elite Bundle Resurrections.


Honestly, with his near-photographic memory, he picked up the patterns pretty quickly.

That polished tonality?


It really helped him groove with London’s daygame scene.


He even got some style upgrades and used Inner Circle tactics like maneuvering, building chemistry, and looping objections.


All of that led him to a successful street approach, another proof point for this John Elite Dating Review.


Then, out of the blue, he met this white woman in London.


They hit it off, had some meaningful video calls, and by April 29, 2025, they were officially together.

First Steps to Elite 30, then Tonality Mastery, and finally, Inner Circle. Pretty cool, right?





His John Elite Dating Coach Review in his own words.


This london student is going to propose to his white girlfriend soon as an Indian guy.


John Elite Dating Review Indian Engineer got White Girlfriend Daygame


"Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience with John Elite and the program, and how it changed my life.

I know you hear a lot about different programs and coaches, and they all try to market themselves saying,

“This program will change your life. You need to follow this program.”
But I actually got results from it.

Today is Wednesday, and I got results yesterday—which was Tuesday.

It actually started Monday night and then Tuesday as well, when I actually laid my first white girlfriend.

This has quietly changed everything for me as an Indian guy living in the UK, because I never thought it would be possible.

Any Indian guy who’s been living around people of different races knows there’s a certain hierarchy, a certain standard, where white guys are considered more confident, more attractive.
You see them in movies.

The hero is always the white guy, but you never see Asian guys represented.

Even Asian or Indian guys aren’t shown as attractive.

Growing up, I always felt this way.

Watching Hollywood, even when Asian guys are shown, it’s a little better...

like in the Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings, you see Asian guys can sometimes be attractive.

But Indian guys are always put into comedic roles or seen as awkward, and I kind of believed that.

So I never really had any confidence growing up.

I was also diagnosed late with Asperger’s syndrome and autism, so it was always very difficult for me to socialize or attract a girl.

So from the results I had yesterday, it’s crazy that I actually achieved this.

Even telling you this story is very emotional for me, because I never thought it would be possible.

I never thought I’d be able to speak like I am now...

without stuttering, with confidence.

I have to thank John Elite, because he has split-tested everything.

When I first told him I was interested, he told me to get his program... John Elite Bundle 2 (Now called Elite Bundle Resurrections)...

which includes Elite 30: From Hardcase to Hero.

This is a social skills program that taught me how to talk, how to fix my body language, and you actually get feedback from John.

This helped me a lot.

You also get the Playbook with Bundle 2 (Now called Elite Bundle Resurrections)

The Elite Playbook teaches you how to “game,” and you also get Skypes and access to John.

This was so good because I could text John on WhatsApp and he would answer. (Elite Access)

This really helped me, to have someone there to guide me and tell me what I should do.

John focuses on minorities as well, which is why all his other students also have a lot of success.

His students are minorities...

whether they’re Jewish, Black, Italian, Romanian, Asian, Chinese, Indonesian, Filipino, Indian...

and especially the Indians, man, because it’s so difficult.

It’s so difficult to actually attract a girlfriend, and even more so to attract a white girlfriend in another country, but I managed to do this.

So I definitely recommend this.

What I also got from the program was the fact that I really lacked focus and didn’t have good tonality. (Elite Tonality Mastery. Upgraded for Elite Bundle Resurrections)

I used to have a very bad Indian accent, and nobody would understand me, they’d make fun of me.

With the Tonality Mastery course, I improved my tonality and gained a lot more focus and confidence.

When I joined the Inner Circle, I got even more videos.

Now I have even more of the secret sauce and the Arrow System that John’s been developing for years.

All of this is good, it’s really good to learn, but the real proof is in the results.

I sent John the proof yesterday, and I’m very happy.

I feel like a winner right now.

I believe it’s possible, because I’ve done it once already.

So I believe I can do it again now, and attract my dream girlfriend.

Thank you, John.

Thank you for everything you’ve taught me.

Thank you for being there as my coach and answering my messages when I ask for help.

Thank you for showing me that being Indian is not the end.

I want to say this to all the Indian guys:

You can become more than the funny guy that Hollywood likes to make you out to be.

You’re not just the Big Bang Theory nerdy guy.

You can be the attractive guy who gets the white girl.

Thank you, John, for showing me that this is possible." - Indian daygame student in London

What Went Down on Reddit



So, there was this Reddit thread that mentioned me... yeah, started by the Guinness World Record magician, Ivan Stratienco, or as some of you might know him, Amazing Ivan. And guess what? It got taken down.



But here’s where it gets interesting. Almost immediately after, the same claims popped up again, but this time from an alternate account belonging to Ivan. Funny enough, that alt account had already chimed in on the first thread.



So, basically, it’s a repost after the original got removed by Ivan Stratienco (yep, Amazing Ivan). I’ve got the receipts for you, so feel free to check them out and see for yourself... let's keep it about the facts, not the drama, right?


“A smear campaign is a planned effort to discredit a person or group, to undermine their credibility, and tarnish their reputation.” – Psychology Today


  • The first Reddit thread naming me, started by Ivan Stratienco (also known as Amazing Ivan, magician), was locked/removed.



  • Soon after, a new thread appeared from the same actor, Ivan Stratienco Guinness World Record magician (Amazing Ivan)using an alt account that had already commented in the first thread.



  • The new thread repeats the same claims and unique details as the removed post, all coming from Ivan Stratienco (Amazing Ivan, magician).


Receipts:

Pattern before today (why this matters)

  • These same claims have been made before by Ivan Stratienco (Amazing Ivan, magician), and I’ve already published a receipts page that counters them with screenshots and documents.

How to read the collage (by position):

Top-left: Fatherhood + quit timing

Ivan Stratienco rage quit
rage quit

So, here’s the scoop: there’s this Chinese student who just became a dad, got some proof to back it up, too.


Now, within just two weeks, our buddy Ivan Stratienco (also known as Amazing Ivan, magician) totally lost it and quit when he heard the news about the other student becoming a father.


In a chat, Ivan Stratienco actually said, “your system can work very well.” Funny, right?


At that point, Ivan Stratienco only had what we call Elite Access, just a quick 10 to 15 minutes a day on WhatsApp.


But then things took a turn. Ivan Stratienco’s access to the digital courses got pulled back because of an NDA. I even told Ivan to hold off on checking out the other courses until he had fully dived into Elite Access.


Because of that, Ivan Stratienco didn’t get to finish Elite 30 or the Elite Playbook, and he missed out on the entire Skype sequence.


Now Ivan Stratienco is just going back over the Elite Access coaching instead of the courses. And honestly, that’s been pretty effective for a lot of my students this year.



Upper-left center: Supplement narrative & motive

Ivan Stratienco Movie about vedgetarian
Movie about vedgetarian

Ivan Stratienco, the magician, publicly attacks me for suggesting optional, over-the-counter (non-prescription) supplements to students, claiming “side-effects in high doses,” and saying I’m wrong to suggest them.


These are not prescriptions….


you can get them over the counter and on Amazon.


Ivan’s own IMDb page shows “Meatless BBQ.”


He told me he’s food-only… devout vegan and had never used the OTC items he criticized.


In other words, the false narrative crusade isn’t about evidence, it’s ideology. That’s the motive.



Middle-left: $400 payment context

Ivan Stratienco extortion
extortion

Ivan Stratienco received $400 as a goodwill payment during dispute resolution.


This was not a refund of a course.


Bottom-left: NDA scope

Ivan Stratienco NDA ignored
NDA ignored

Screenshot of the signed NDA… non-disparagement, non-disclosure agreement: Ivan Stratienco agreed not to attack me on forums or post hit-pieces. The day he quit.


In exchange, I agreed not to publish a video naming Ivan Stratienco (the title appears in the screenshot).


He posted anyway.


Top-middle / Top-right: Audio feedback

Ivan Stratienco can't hear mistakes, emotions
can't hear mistakes, emotions


So, Ivan Stratienco (also known as Amazing Ivan, magician) mentioned that he can't pick up on issues in his own audio.


In that screenshot I shared, I was pointing out some traits in Ivan Stratienco’s audio that could be fixed,


like being monotone or coming off as lethargic. Just to be clear, I'm not diagnosing Ivan Stratienco, just describing what I noticed.


If Ivan Stratienco really can’t hear those traits, well, that kind of explains why he says he couldn’t “hear” himself sounding depressed, even though he insists he wasn’t feeling that way.


But here's the thing: when Ivan Stratienco’s audio infields and homework were played on YouTube Live, he sounded pretty down, kind of sluggish, and maybe even a bit angry. Honestly, it’s tough to put that in a collage.



Far-right: Self-report vs. later claims

Ivan Stratienco hypocricy
hypocricy

So, looking back at those earlier messages, Ivan Stratienco openly talked about feeling pretty down and trapped for a long time, with hardly any progress to show for it.



But then, there’s this twist...


the Guinness World Record magician himself says he “wasn’t depressed” at all! He even accused me of “inventing” this whole thing, claiming I was gaslighting him.



It’s kind of wild, right? The screenshots tell a different story.



Bottom-wide: Effort vs. expectation


Ivan Stratienco not doing drills
not doing drills

o, let’s break this down. We’re talking about 12 drills and 17 approaches, all crammed into just 14 days, and then, poof, quitting.



Now, Ivan Stratienco has this saying: “no pull, no lay.” Sounds catchy, right?



But honestly, with such a small volume and not really sticking to any completed drills, can we really evaluate the results?


I mean, it’s tough to make judgments like that, especially when Ivan seems to have brushed aside the hard work that actually helps change habits.



He kind of spun this story that my system just didn’t cut it. But here’s the kicker..


in that first screenshot, he did mention that it could work really well. Funny how that works, huh?



TL;DR:

  • Ivan Stratienco (Amazing Ivan, magician) admits my system can work, but quit after 2 weeks.

  • Ideology (vegan/anti-supplement) drove his public attacks.

  • Ivan took goodwill money, signed an NDA, then posted a hit-piece anyway.

  • Screenshots show Ivan’s own words about being depressed; later denials don’t match the record.

  • Minimal effort + early quit ≠ fair review of courses he didn’t have.






This page is not about attacking anyone. It’s here so reasonable people can verify facts quickly.


Psychology Today explains that smear campaigns are retaliatory efforts to control a narrative: the attacker spreads false or exaggerated claims (and sometimes private truths) to “poison the well,” recruits allies (“flying monkeys”), and aims to make the target look irrational. The impact is confusion, anxiety, isolation, and professional harm. Recommended responses: don’t retaliate, stick to verifiable facts, disengage from the instigator, focus on your health/support network, and keep moving forward.

CONCLUSION


Final word

If Ivan Stratienco, or Amazing Ivan as he’s often called, had made genuine claims, I’d be more than happy to tackle them one by one.



But honestly? They’re just misrepresenting what I teach and how things really went down. It’s like a classic straw-man argument, you know?



Let’s look at the facts here (and I’ve got the receipts to back it up):



Ivan, who’s recognized by Guinness World Records as a magician, admitted that “your system can work very well.” But guess what? He decided to bail after just 14 days because he wasn’t putting in much effort with the drills or his approach.



Then, after he signed an NDA with a non-disparagement clause, he started making allegations. It’s kind of funny...


when one thread got taken down, a new one popped up, repeating the same claims from Amazing Ivan.



And when I pointed out some contradictions? No retraction from him, just more of the same.



For those of you just tuning in: this kind of behavior really fits what Psychology Today calls a smear pattern. It’s all about stirring up outrage and trying to cloud the real issues instead of dealing with the facts.



So, take a minute to check out the timeline and screenshots I provided. You can make up your own mind on this.



I’m not looking to throw shade at Ivan or anyone else for that matter. My goal here is to coach and help people see actual results.



Just so you know, this is my perspective based on the materials linked.



I’m talking about documented actions, not speculating on anyone’s mental health.



And hey, if I’ve got any of this wrong, feel free to reach out. I’m open to reviewing and making corrections.
