I'm surprised they got Ozzie to do a media piece of all people. Somebody like Alex could have done a MUCH better job with his naturally-confident-fun-guy style. This just makes RSD look really bad.

But who knows, perhaps they know what they're doing. Maybe the BBC would only have done a piece on them if they could make them look like a bunch of weirdos because it makes for 'better' television. And as a result it would turn off a bunch people who weren't going to buy stuff from RSD anyway but at the same time make themselves known to a whole new customer base and get sales from that. From what I understand, RSD is financially a very successful company so I guess I'm in no position to criticize their business decisions.

One of the worst things I've seen in recent times when it comes to daygame. Dreadful

Wow. That guy(IRT?) with the blazer and white V-neck should never be allowed at another convention again. He just trolled 200 PUA's. HA!

Holy shit that was awful. Looking forward to part 2 of that trainwreck.

Is it just me or is this cringeworthy game mostly confined to daygamers? All the weirdest dudes I've met in pickup have been daygamers, and don't get me wrong I have no beef with daygame whatsoever. Socially weird/uncalibrated dudes in general feel uncomfortable in nightlife, makes sense this would apply to pickup guys too. There are two streets in my city which are infested with these guys whenever the sun is out spitting the same lines like robots.

The sad part is its in London and one guy approaches a group of average looking American women and afterwards the host interviews the girls and their response is they were entertained, but they would never go out with a guy who approached them randomly in the day.

Isn't this whole thing just compounding the problem of 'putting women on a pedestal'?

I mean, some poor guy takes a deep breath and then 'auditions' in front of a group of three average-looking women who are then asked "how did he do?" and they cast judgement on his performance.

Its like the social version of 'American Idol' or any other of those awful shows. A nervous, desperate applicant begs three women (judges) to 'give him a chance' and they decide if he's good enough to get a phone number and advance through to the next round.

Who holds the power here? Who cares more?

One of my Canadian buddies told me a joke that went "Why are teenage girls always in odd-numbered groups? "BECAUSE THEY CAN'T EVEN!"

Yeah, I can't even. This is just too horrible to watch.

I'm a daygamer and this is so fucking true, its something me and Matt find all the time when we're walking around thats why I get dickheads interrupting me when I actually do open a girl in London.

I have always believed that if you cannot learn Game from Internet and your own practice then you will never truly learn. All these bootcamps and what not is a shame.

I have even tried to teach other guys, bootcamp style and couldn't do it because of how awkward it felt. I felt like they are dragging me down more then I am lifting them up.

Game is a deeply individual thing, either you can internalize it from hearing theory or you can't. This is the true genetic predisposition to being a player. I believe most guys are actually genetically unable to do this.

[OzzieBlue]

wow humping the pole in broad daylight and yelling isn't normal, sometimes eccentric behaviour can get you some why shoot yourself in the foot that RSD instructor is pure evil.

Different people have different learning styles, unfortunately a lot of bootcamp attendees are doing it to avoid directly confronting their issues.

A good coach can give you a structure and direct feedback. But the students in the video need a good talking to more than they need game instruction.

If take a bootcamp and come out of it less 'normal' than at the start, something's gone horribly wrong.
