• I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for all the information. I have been watching the YouTube stuff and I have recently joined iamalpham. I used to be a sloppy dresser who didn’t care about my look. I have transformed my image in recent months, and my confidence is better and my image is better. I am in the process of getting my GED after 5 years of High School (personal problems). I am 20 years old and I dress better than most professionals in my area. I am now on my way of being successful mainly because my image gave me confidence. Keep up the good work. Jason

• I’ve been using the iamalpham.com site for about two weeks now. And I’ve to be honest to you: I thought that there was no way that you could give me more useful information then you already put out there on YouTube. But I thought…well let’s give Aaron the benefit of the doubt and let’s give it a try. It’s only a few dollars, and if it’s a complete waste of money I can always cancel the membership anytime I want. Well buddy, you keep surprising me. It’s awesome. If you keep up the good work, I’ll be your first lifetime member. So start thinking about grooming 80 year old men Danny P.

• Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and your team for all the amazing videos and tips you give on this. I want to say website but its more than that…its a sheer portal of awesomeness. The main reason I’m writing to you today is I’ve been single for a while and signed up to a few dating websites just the other day, and well I got chatting to a girl today after work. After looking through the online dating section and taking on-board all your advice the conversation went great. We must’ve been chatting for well over an hour without any of the awkward “what to say now” scenarios. And it was all down to your advice. Although I think I may have signed myself for a dance lesson if it gets to the dating stage, but I can handle that after all on here were all Alpha Men. Well thanks again for all your hard-work, and if all goes well I’ll be sure to let you know. Dave R.

• I just wanted to contact you to let you know how much I have gotten out of your YouTube videos over the last year. I am a Canadian Mennonite farmer (I kid you not) who has been watching your videos for over a year now. In that time, I have gotten off my butt (lost 85 lbs) and stopped dressing like a schlub. Everyone comments on my “extreme makeover” and it’s all thanks to you. I just bought a year subscription to your site and from what I can see, it is awesome. Keep up the good work and thanks for making yourself a great resource. SE

• WOW! This site has definitely surpassed my expectations. It is so well organized and loaded with content that I couldn’t wait to sign up and get started watching the video’s in the members area. I have a lot of areas to work on in my life, and this site has motivated me to make those changes. LJ

• I’m wearing my first light blue sweater. No big deal, right? Wrong. Huge deal. I look damn good. I would have never thought to do this on my own. I am continually impressed with your advice Aaron. You have proven to be consistently correct with your critiques, suggestions, and method of implementation. This credibility is worth its weight in gold when it comes to my comfort level of making style changes and confidence of sporting my upgraded look. JML

• I wanted to write you this comment/letter because I don’t think you realize how much what you do has helped men like me. I also feel that what you have done has gone unappreciated and come under some attack because some men believe that taking pride in their appearance is seen as feminine instead of seeing it as a way to reveal to the world around you that you view yourself as worthwhile and additionally establishing a positive foundation of how others should view you. The true reason, however, as to why I am writing you today is because I feel that you deserve to know just how much you have helped me personally turn my life around. I am 23 years old and admit that I stumbled upon your services by accident. Last summer, I was possibly at the worst point in my life and survived only by the grace of a few friends who chose never to give up on me. At first I, like so many other men, was quick to judge because of growing up in an ultra masculine environment (Military Boarding School) where anything seen as remotely feminine was scrutinized swiftly and viscously. Yet, I had nothing to lose and immersed myself completely into your consulting, applying many of the things that you suggested and emerged a new man. The transformation was awkward and far from my comfort zone, but the results in how others responded towards me in public was as positive and drastic as my change in my appearance. My life has become a little easier because of you and I now wake up looking forward to assert myself into new experiences and meeting new people instead of lying in the shadows because I felt too insecure or ugly to stand out in the spotlight. Thank you for your services and I encourage you to continue because although it be our societies most epic tragedy that the expression of gratitude goes unsaid, you are in fact making a difference. Thank you again for sound advice that I in turn will pass on to others. Alex M.

• Just wanted to thank you for the positive, entertaining, and most importantly, educational consulting. It has enhanced my life, my wardrobe, and improved my self esteem. I am currently in my final year of college, and with this being one of the most important times of my life, your consulting made a world of difference. So from one man to another, thank you so much! Drew E.

• Your consulting took me from being a fat reject to being awesome. That sounds harsh, but I was over 340 pounds, and last week I was signed as a model through an open audition. Grieveth

• I owe you! Big time! Aaron, I’m a long time viewer of yours, and I want to say that your videos have changed me for the best! After watching some of your videos I decided to take action and listen to your great advice, and my god have things changed! I use to wear XXL shirts only and plain baggy jeans all the time. I currently wear my true shirt size medium and jeans that actually compliment my body style. Changing the way I dress brought a lot of attention my way which I really needed for my self esteem. I just want to tell you THANK YOU! If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have the hot girlfriend that I have now, the friends, or even getting in to business school for that matter. I want to take a step further in any way possible and be able to dress like you since I absolutely admire your style and looks. 59TAPOUT

• Let me start by saying I don’t make a habit of typing letters to busy professionals who won’t likely get a chance to read my thoughts. I am however obliged by a sort of “moral code” to do so. I was the child of young parents who had not planned a family and shortly after separated. As a result, I had few if not any positive male role models or people to steer me in the right direction. From this (and some psychological and environmental factors), I began secluding myself from peers and suffered even more. Recently in the depths of the worst depression of my life, I stumbled across your YouTube videos. Things began to change rapidly. You’ve successfully filled in the blanks that had been the cause of some pretty brutal anxiety and a seriously degraded quality of life. I would like to ‘thank you’ for preventing a (very bad) chain of events. Using your business savvy to not only bring personal success but to help other men is a true credit to your character. Thanks man. You may have saved my life. Carson Q., Canada

• I’ll come right to the point… I don’t want a wardrobe analysis (that I ordered). The $99 I paid is just a way for me to say: “thank you” for changing my life with your great advice from your YouTube channel. Suddenly I feel and look like a million dollars ( in this case Euro’s). So I hope your not offended by my decision to just donate the money. You already helped me- for the first time in my life I get compliments like: “hey great jacket, great shirt, nice color, etc”. You really changed my life, and I feel great with new look and style. Danny P., Netherlands

• I want to thank you for your excellent services. I started a new job about 6 months ago, and I had no idea where to begin buying professional clothing. You have helped me immensely throughout this process, and even though I have spent a lot of money and made constant changes, I believe it has been extremely beneficial to me. Your advice makes perfect sense, and I can’t imagine why any man would disagree with you. Everything from saying no to pleated pants, avoiding button down collar shirts, and distinguishing between various styles of jeans has helped me tremendously. I thoroughly enjoyed the process, and I learned so much. Thank you again for offering your expertise to everyone. I would look like a total fool had I not taken the time to listen to what you had to say. Chris M., Alaska

• I grew a beard for my ex-wife seven years ago when we were dating, and I wanted advice about whether I should get rid of it, morph it, or keep it. (The beard, that is… got rid of her a few years ago!) I discovered Aaron Marino through his YouTube vid on beards. I then visited his http://www,malestyleguide.com where I found just what I was looking for: Aaron’s personal “Virtual Grooming” consult. I figured, ‘what the hey, can’t go wrong for $30.00′, so I clicked. Within a half hour I got an email from Aaron, and I responded with a short profile and three recent photos. After back-and-forth-ing a few times on email, Aaron gave me some really great advice, and I’m glad I asked. Never would have thought about the points he made, like the relationship between a beard and your perceived age (if you feel and act younger than you are, you better do something to look the part). He also gave me some specific advice on eyeglasses (definitely needed a makeover there) and hair. This guy has 60 videos on YouTube, they are great. You know what, guys? It’s OK to ask! And Aaron Marino is the guy. DJ A., Alexandria, VA

• THANK YOU. As a guy with zero fashion sense who is trying to improve his life, mind, and career in a major ways, I have found your male style and image advice to be an often overlooked aspect of being a dude. I’ve been looking for exactly what your services offer. I never learned any of this stuff growing up, it’s a big deal to find a source of this wisdom and you deliver in a big way. Sincere appreciation. Tim R.

• I know you probably hear this a lot, but I want to send along my personal “thank you” since your fashion advice has helped me A LOT. I’ve have been getting more smiles from women than I know what do to with. It’s amazing how a fitted dress shirt with a sport coat can look! I was always the boring guy with the out-of-control curly hair and same two pairs of jeans and three shirts kind of guy. I wanted to make a change but didn’t know how to do it correctly until I found you. Thank you again. Kevin S., Connecticut
