Who is SHANE ANDREW?
(and why the hell should you listen to him)

The Guy Who Wrote “the Book” about online dating (for men)!

The basics:

I would like to introduce you to someone--me. As important as the information in this book is, it is just as important for you to know the source of that information. As an avid user of the Internet for more than a decade, I have seen its growth, influence, and benefits on the real world of dating. I want to give you what I've learned so that, not only do you get your money's worth from this book, but you get your money's worth from your own online dating experiences—and have fun doing it.

As a healthy male in my mid-30s, I have a vigorous appetite for success and successful formulas. My brother and I grew up in Ohio with Midwestern values, the same values that my wonderful parents share and have shared during 36 years of marriage. One of the formulas for my success was a great support system--ME. If I learned anything growing up in a happy home it was, "Don't rely on anyone else to be successful. Get out and do it yourself." Well, gents, that applies to you too! Even if you did not grow up like I did, you still have to support yourself and know that you, too, can be successful.

College and Beyond:

After graduating college from the University of Cincinnati, I migrated to California and now, 14 years later, I write this book from my L.A. high-rise, hoping to help—no, change--the lives of men who struggle with a medium unlike any other for finding females--the Internet. As a multiple business owner and real estate investor, I have had to work the World Wide Web for everything from finances and sourcing data to real estate and stock purchases to getting a quality date for a party. I consider myself a charter member of the online community.

Living on the coast has taught me how important physical fitness is to my lifestyle—and to yours, too, regardless of where you live. Even if you live where you can't surf, you can find a pool and do laps. If you can't find a place to ski, then get on an elliptical machine. You must adopt this frame of mind in all that you do, in business and in pleasure. Training your body properly runs hand in hand with training your mind. This definitely applies to finding your perfect female on the Web.

Personal Life:

Another significant feather in my cap is my actual personal life. I live on the front lines of dating. My social life includes dating, relationships, flings, affairs, NSA (no strings attached), coffee dates, cocktail dates, dinner dates, double dates, day dates, night dates, and, of course, booty calls. Why is that important to you? I'll tell you why. Do you want advice on how to fix your car from a dentist? Do you want to be taught how to swim by a couch potato? Do you want dating advice from a homebody? No, my horny go-getter friends, no. I will tell you what you want: someone successful who has practiced what he preaches and will bring that to the table. Bingo, baby, that's me.

Believe it or not my social life does consist of more than just women and dating. I have some great friends and we are always doing exciting things. On a typical weekend you can find me surfing, boating or simply hanging around a beach somewhere in So Cal. On the not so typical weekends I am jetting off somewhere as close as Las Vegas and as far away as Thailand! No matter where I am you can bet I am having a great time!

Professional Endeavors:

As I mentioned earlier that I own several business that have helped shape who I am and lead me up to today. Besides those businesses there are several other very important professional endeavors that have contributed to my online dating success and will indirectly contribute to yours as well!

First, to let you know a little more about my main businesses all three deal with real estate or finance. My main company, The Smart Money Group is a real estate finance company and equity management firm. We offer all real estate services from mortgages to real estate transactions to strategically reinvesting home equity into different types of high yield investment vehicles.

Next is that I am a published writer besides the Slow & Tight system. I have written several wonderful business articles for the Long Beach Magazine, a beautiful monthly subscription magazine in Southern California. These business articles all have a direct correlation to the Slow & Tight System because you must look at online dating as a business if you want to be successful.

If that isn’t enough I also host a Los Angles radio show on several major stations. First I was on the CBS talk station 97.1 Free Fm. Then in 2007 I went over to AM 830, the Anaheim Angels and the Mighty Ducks Sports Network. The radio show format is based on real estate, real estate finance and equity management. This has been a great experience that has opened my mind to the power of helping people. Not to mention the strength and confidence I have gained from broadcasting out over the airwaves to a region with 11 million people. Once again, this confidence I have gained from this experience will all be passed on to you through my teachings in Slow & Tight.

Speaking of teaching, one of my other favorite careers is actually being a teacher. I love being a teacher and giving back to the world the knowledge that I have to share. I have taught finance classes at several Los Angeles Colleges and now currently teach, “Successful Online Dating for Men” at Pasadena Community College. Pasadena Community College is one of the largest Community Colleges in Southern California and I am honored they asked me to teach this class. The book Slow & Tight is the actual textbook I use to teach my college class. So if anyone ever gives you gripe about what you know about online dating, you can honestly say, “I was taught by the only college professor to ever teach a college course on online dating for MEN!”

Lastly, if I tie all my business skills, teaching skills, broadcasting confidence together with my knowledge of online dating, naturally what comes next is consulting. Three years ago is when I brought on my first client for free because I could see he needed some serious help. I felt horrible about how much success I was having meanwhile he was getting nowhere! Soon after his success shot through the roof and I had friends and friends of friends asking if I could help them as well. Obviously, as a business man I realize my time was valuable and I can now charge for my premium services. They were all too pleased to pay for my time to help them get the success I had already proven I was capable of bringing! This was the beginning of a new venture to me and the best part was, I was helping men finally get all they deserved! My heart was now in consulting because I can take all that I love and package it together to help my individual clients succeed. The best part is that I get to watch my clients grow and succeed meanwhile gauging my success by seeing the happiness come into each of their lives as they become fulfilled by all the new women and excitement in their lives. Maybe someday you too can become one of my premium clients!

You are about to buy this book to meet more women at the one place that it is easier to meet quality women. The place all the girls show up in masses--the Internet. Thank you for taking a positive step toward successful online dating, with me, Shane, as your guide.
