I really like the book "Emotional Freedom" by Judith Orloff, M.D. Vampires like this guy need victims, and if society could teach everyone to keep their positive energy safe maybe people like him would lose their food source, then die or change. We need to help people be happy and protected, and help people like him with their behavioral illnesses, not turn away and let the problem go on...]]>

All I can think of when I read this article is this old song:

<b>I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down</b>-<i>Ann Peebles</i>

You think you've got it all set up,
you think you've got the perfect plan
to charm everyone you see
and playing any game you can.

But I've got news for you,
I hope it don't hit you too hard.
One of these days while you're at play
I'm gonna catch you off guard.

I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon.
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room.

You make our lives a stress and strain
using the power ploy.
All you do is pass around
hearts you use as play toys.

You've been playing madly
with every mind in town.
So what you gonna do when you look up one day
and see your playhouse tumbling down.

I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon.
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room.

You think you've got it all set up,
you think you've got the perfect plan
to charm everyone you see
and playing any game you can.

You've been playing madly
with every mind in town.
Oh, what you gonna do when you look up one day
and see your playhouse tumbling down.

I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon.
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room.

I'm gonna tear your playhouse down pretty soon.
I'm gonna tear your playhouse down room by room by room.
(repeat ad lib. & fade)

<description><![CDATA[
I am an attractive woman that is rarely approached by men.  They are all too timid.  Maybe Dimitri The Lover is a bit extreme, but then maybe men need this sort of thing to wake them from their sexual slumber.  I'd rather they all be as aggressive and piggish as Dimitri than settle for what I am getting right now.]]>

He hit on me on the weekend.  Walked right up to me in the grocery store.  Threw me off.  I thought he was a creep from the beginning.  Telling me he loved my eyes and curves and asking if I had 30 minutes for a coffee.  He told me he could promise me lust, maybe not love but lust.  I am glad to see that my asshole radar is working well.  I left the grocery store feeling like I had to have a shower and erasing his number that he gave me.  Being a newly single girl, that experience and this article makes me want to go running back to my ex knowing that Dimitri and his followers are out there.  Who are they kidding thinking this works.  He was so forward it was scary.]]>

Dimitri has no accent.  He approached me in the summer.  Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but I thought he was pretty hot, and definitely did not look "wacko".  He was rather sweet and non-threatening.  Must be one of his cohorts.]]>

He did have a Russian accent but he said he was Greek. And he wasn't handsome. More like Asparagus-skinny, all dressed in black with a leather jacket very '90's style. He looked wacko. Not even for a laugh would I go for coffee with that dude.]]>

Dimitri approached me a couple of weeks ago in a grocery store in the Annex.  I was flattered, told him I wasn't interested, but he did not chase after me or make comments like what "somegirl" describes.  I think you're right "someboy", it was likely one of his disciples.  And also unlike what "somegirl" describes, when I met him he was impeccably dressed, talked really smooth and looked quite handsome (if I had been single I likely would have gone for coffee just for a laugh).  I did not know about this Pavel character.  Pretty scary.]]>

You were likely hit on by one of Dimitri's disciples, "Pavel The Lover".  He frequents the Annex, has a thick Russian accent, and on the back of his card he mentions Dimitri The Lover's courses.  What gave it away was the fact that he "ran after" you.  From what I read on line, it is very typical of this guy.  You are lucky he didn't flash you his penis:  http://torontoist.com/2009/02/pavel_the_lovers_iphone_penis_whipout.php]]>

I met him last week on Bloor Street West, in the Annex, trying to pick up any woman that was walking alone. He did approched me and ask me if I wanna go for coffee but I told no. He looked like a freakin fool, the way he talked, the way he was dressed. When I told him no, he said :"what, you're afraid of real men?" and I started walking away, he ran after me and gave me his "business card". I started laughing. He said "I give course on how to make love and how to please a woman!". I told him to leave me alone and so he did.  Than, he started walking after another woman that just passed us... Now that's crazy!]]>

I was sitting in Tequila Bookworm a couple of weeks back and spotted none other than Dimitri The Lover chatting up a very attractive girl of no older than 20.  She was completely captivated by the guy.  I overheard bits of the conversation and must admit that he was quite charming and seductive.  After he left, I informed her of WHO he was and WHAT he was all about.  I figured that my intervention should have sufficiently scared her off of Mr. Lover.  I ran into the same girl today and during a friendly chat she informed me that she SLEPT WITH HIM!  I asked her WHY she would do such a thing after I had specifically warned her about his history, including his misogyny and lack of condom use.  She said that she was looking for a good lover and was swayed by comments made in some Facebook fan club for Dimitri The Lover in which several ex-girlfriends and lovers posted positive "reviews" of him.  I am in my 40's and cannot understand women under 25.  It is almost like a badge of honour to sleep with men of ill repute.  It sickens me.]]>

<title>WHO CARES !!!</title>
<description><![CDATA[
I am sick and tired of hearing about "DIMITRI THE LOVER".  Why are you indirectly promoting this guy?  Over the last two months I have received no less than 4 e-mails concerning this parasite, including one spam from the "Toronto Real Men" (pleeeeeeeeeeze).  I would have passed along the spam to friends for a laugh, but after learning that he has a film coming out next year, I chose to just delete it.  ANY publicity, even BAD publicity, is GOOD publicity.  Even if he got hauled off to jail he would sell more courses.  Use your brain and ignore this guy ... for the good of all of Toronto.]]>

Now he's trolling, disguised as a woman, on the blog at The White Ribbon Campaign, where men talk to men about masculinity in order to end violence against women. (Blog entry Nov 29, 2008). He must be really desperate. 
Also there's a new facebook group that employs a touch of parody,  'Not Fans of Dimitri the Lover'. The group started the day after he hit White Ribbon (also on facebook).

This guy gives "Pickup Artists" a bad name...well, at least a worse name then they already have ;)

Another "cult like" personality in Toronto would be "Johnny Soporno", although he embodies the exact OPPOSITE of Dmitri, he would still make a GREAT article.]]>
