Something about this subject makes people just melt down. I'm pretty sure that's the second or third ban in this thread.
Are they just really emotionally invested in RSD or something? I don't understand it.

When you've given someone thousands of dollars....It's hard to look in the mirror and say, "I got ripped off."

It's easy to do away with the cognitive dissonance by claiming that the people who ripped you off are actually the good guys.

Humans will twist their brains like pretzels to avoid admitting wrongdoing.

That was my "beef" with RSD.

Sure, they are cowards for not defending themselves. On it's own, not a big deal.

What's worse is their inaction and now their response is harming every man who enjoys the company of women.

Actively distancing one's self from RSD is crucial.

Also calling his clients "socially awkward" is frankly a direct insult to anyone - while that may be true for some, most guys have just had a bad Blue Pill skill-set to deal with women. I know for a fact that some PUA bootcamp participants are successful guys making high 6-digits or more, so insulting their paying customers as some kind of weirdos who cannot talk to women and need "confidence" is just bad - really bad for business. It all falls into the frame of the mainstream media who are making fun of men who seek advice of PUAs in order to deal better with women - regardless whether it is a 3000$ bootcamp or 5$ e-book - to the mainstream media we all are "socially awkward" because we are looking into Game.

I've come to realize that the best way to game is that you stop talking about it and just go out there and do what you do best. There is no need to talk about game or identify yourself as someone who is into game, unless you teach men about game in exchange for money. No need to turn it into a theory or a religion. Just be successful with women and let those who learn/teach game worry about the rest. There is only so much you can learn about game. After your 50th notch, all there is left is to find more niches, gain more experience and collect more notches. RSD just makes it look complicated, otherwise there wouldn't be a way for them to make money on teaching game.

My point is, if you don't wanna be labeled as socially awkward by anyone, stop talking about your game and let your notch count and the quality of your recent bangs speak for themselves.

I'd differ on that - going out and doing it is an integral part of Game, but reaching ever new milestones with the help of guys like Tom Torrero, KrauserPUA, Roosh or Steve Jabba is not equal to experience only. You benefit from their expertise and thus can reach new levels yourself a lot faster if you put in the work on the street. Getting laid is not the issue here - raising the quality despite an aging body - increasing certain key numbers - doing it only via individual "experience" is a bit limiting. Mindless approaches with little progress are equally useless as months of just studying cutting-edge theory.

Doubtless RSD is not the best choice out there, but probably not the worst either.

This interview was the wrong way to go about this.

Julien should have made a public 3 minute statement in a video, sent out a MASSIVE press release about it. RSD should have publicised the fuck out of it and it should have been at the peak of the storm, not now, while this is all blowing over.

I don't blame Julien for being nervous, fuck its CNN and those reporters are scary borgs, who are professionals in demonisation.

It will all blow over in a week or so anyway so nobody needs to get their panties jumbled up so much.

Julien should have just said I'm helping people break out of their shells then started promotions in that interview. " my shock waves are for instruction only" "

Let's get back to RSD though and .....

I actually felt compelled to make a video response to all of these goings-on and explain how bad this really is:





Tell me what you all think.

NPR did a piece on this today as well http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-11-17/br...ng-country

Mostly focused on is it right to ban him from a country. Decent & balanced.

RSD cultivates a cult like mentality. You've just told these guys they've follow a false God and showed who is really behind the curtain. Their business model was as much about gaming their clients as teaching their clients how to game.

Humans will twist their brains like pretzels to avoid admitting wrongdoing.

But you'll also have to live with the fact that RSD has helped some people and without them paying a dime (hundreds of free videos), and that's why they developed a sentiment for them.

It seems you have as much of a hard time with that, as the RSD fanboys have a hard time with RSD getting slammed.

Should I be expecting now to watch you go through the exact negative dissonance you talk about, explaining how RSD helped literally absolutely nobody on earth and that everyone that they did supposedly help, is a complete idiot to begin with?

That's what funny about the manosphere 'head figures', sometimes they sound as extreme as the feminists, refusing to accept the truth is never as absolute, one sided and uncompromising as they portray it.

In the same spirit, people can complete disregard what I said, solely because I have a low post count, because "everyone who has a low post count is an RSD fanboy, period".

Don't be a mirror image of your enemy.

Interesting interview but too apologetic for his own good. Game is supposed to help you in all aspects of life not just in chatting to women. I stand by my conclusion before that Julian is a broken individual whose game is perfect for the broken women of LA/USA.

That he is. Say what you want about his game being bad and all, but the bottom line is his game works like a charm on today's western woman. I pointed out to this a week ago /thread-41952-...#pid869293

I was almost about to appear on a Dutch television show (Pauw) to speak out in defence of Julien Blanc with other gamers from the Dutch RSD scene - but Tyler called the regional RSD leader to cancel.

Post: #667

Did he think it was better if socially awkward people didnt make a public statement considering the "pimp" melted on tv?

I honestly feel julian is copping way to much heat considering this guy was a product of Owen and got thrown under a bus.

Even jeffy has done just as worse and is trying to paint him as the bad guy.

If each rsd instructor has slept with hundreds of women couldn't they get a handful to speak up for them?!?

Oh wait it's all bullshit

I have nothing invested in hating RSD. No one here does. Until a week or so ago I'd only heard of them based off of one negative RooshV.com post. When this is over I'll never think of them again.

RSD has helped people. Some of these people were smart people who didn't do well with girls, and RSD undoubtedly changed their lives.

They're also criminals and bullies. They instruct their students to grab and sexually assault women, and if you call them out on this, their response is to threaten a lawsuit. That's disgusting behavior, and the fact that some people were helped by them doesn't excuse it in the slightest.

And I want to make it clear I'm not just shitting on them, they had some very skilled people with a lot of knowledge, and helped a lot of people....but that cult like mentality on certain issues was a real turn off for me. Looks don't matter? Money doesn't matter? This sh!t clearly matters, it's just that it happens to not be what they're selling. Don't try to piss on me and tell me it's raining.

This is very true.

When I first saw Tyler's videos I thought, "Holy shit this guy is way too effeminate, whiny, and hyper."

But then, I see a lot of guys in L.A. like that with girls around them.

Not hot girls, mind you.

Edit: I know that comes across as a petty dig, but it's true. Hot girls are usually with a well-connected guy that barely acknowledges their existence.
