Dating Expert 

One of the many on Youtube proclaiming themselves as a "dating expert", in order to make money fleecing the desperate and lonely, mainly targeting men.

A dating coach strings viewers along with ineffective advice, deliberately. First it’s buy this program//book. Use this "magic word", send her this text, stand on this angle (yes, seriously!), wear this and "buy my course to get the dream girl you deserve" . A week or two later, it's use THIS magic word, send her THESE texts, and wear something ELSE. Buy this book. Now another few videos and a course that will "get you your dream girl". Then it's the same procedure, for months on end, with each video differing from the last in some form.

Think about this, they do countless videos on so called “advice”. Now, if this “free” advice was valid, why are they constantly a)bringing out overpriced books/courses etc, for which they sometimes shame and guilt trip people into buying? and b)making video after video for months on end with “advice” that conflicts with previous videos?

Also, the fact that a lot of dating experts have “shills”, as well as fake comments like “Oh I’m glad I found your video by accident today, best advice ever” or “Buy their course guys, it’s really good and changed my life” speaks volumes.
Dating expert: "Buy my $5k relationship mastery course, it will get you your dream girl".
Dating Expert 3 months later : "sign up for my $2k course on how to get your dream girl".

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
