Drawing from his journey from being terribly shy, friend-zoned, and socially anxious — to building Iron Man Lifestyle and coaching tens of thousands of men — Kshitij reveals what actually works (and what’s pure myth) when it comes to modern attraction. He dives deep into evolutionary psychology, emotional authenticity, fear, shame, and the “hacks” that shift everything.In this episode, they talk about –- Why Dating isn’t broken — your brain is wired wrong.- Pickup lines don’t fail, you do.- Fear of rejection is the biggest turn-off, not rejection itself.- Attraction isn’t about looks, it’s about frames.- Be mysterious or be forgotten — there’s no in-between.If you’ve ever felt stuck being “nice, but invisible,” or felt like everyone’s getting dates except you — this episode isn’t just motivational fluff. It unpacks why many of your dating efforts fail, and gives you practical, psychological tools to rewire your approach. Watching this could change how you speak, how you show up, and how you attract — not by tricks, but by fundamentally shifting your reality.Follow Kshitij SehrawatYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IronManLifestyleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ironmanlifestyle/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kshitij-s…Timestamps:0:00 – Intro3:30 – India’s #1 Dating Coach & Indian Dating Reality4:11 – Average Indian Dating Life8:45 – Arranged Marriage vs Nice Guy Trap11:45 – Emotion, Authenticity & Attraction12:30 – Evolutionary Brain on Dating18:30 – Brutal Demand–Supply Truth23:00 – Kshitij’s 0–1 Journey25:30 – Frame (#1 Hack)31:30 – Fear of Talking & Risk Aversion (#2 Hack)37:40 – Exposure Therapy & Desensitisation (#3 Hack)49:55 – Why Women Won’t Come To You54:40 – 5 Phases To Rewire Brain1:02:30 – Mystery & Conflict Explained1:09:20 – Fear, Shamelessness & Power1:18:15 – Women Aren’t Evil1:26:15 – Tripod of Life1:31:40 – How To Bag a 10/10 Baddie1:37:20 – Regret1:39:20 – Life after Marriage & Loneliness2:09:10 – Handling Rejection====================================================================Vinamre Kasanaa is a writer at heart, podcaster and entrepreneur by craft.He spends a significant part of his time reading and researching.With over 500 podcasts under his belt, he’s interviewed everyone—from HNIs and industry leaders to everyday superheroes.Follow Vinamre:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinamre-kasanaa-b8524496/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinamrekasanaa/Twitter: https://twitter.com/VinamreKasanaaDostcast: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dostcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dostcast====================================================================Contact Us:For business inquiries: dostcast@egiplay.com
