With plans to take his show on the road in live seminar forum, Geno will no doubt soon be considered an expert on male-female relationships, or perhaps a “love doctor.” In fact, many women who have read or heard Game Recognize Game admit that if the info had been available to them sooner in their lives, many unnecessary wounds would have been prevented.
