Todd Valentine (Todd V)

Todd Valentine, better known as Todd V, is a dating coach and the founder of Todd V Dating. He first became known as an instructor with Real Social Dynamics (RSD): a 2015 interview in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review introduced him as the top executive coach of RSD Nation, and film databases list him as a former RSD instructor who has also appeared under the name Todd Van De Hay.

Background

A dating-industry profile describes him as an engineering student at 18 who struggled with women, began approaching strangers to practise and turned that into nearly two decades of coaching. This account is largely self-reported.

Approach

His reputation rests on live coaching, working with men in person and in real time on meeting women. Online he sells programmes such as the Verbal Game Academy, which focuses on conversation, and Online Dating Fast Track and Digital Black Belt for dating apps. In the 2015 interview he argued that most people are more romantic than they appear and that a cold first reaction often says little about the person approached.

Media

He publishes on several YouTube channels, including Ask Todd V and Todd V Dating, is active on Instagram and TikTok, and has hosted The Todd V Show podcast since 2020, which covers social skills, relationships and online dating. Public information about him comes mostly from his own channels and promotional profiles, and no country of residence is stated in the sources reviewed.
