RSD Confidential 3
RSD Confidential 3

2- The kind of guy who knows that his game will never be good enough
to join RSD, and therefore you will remain friends with him because
you will always have something to offer him in the future.
3- The worst kind of guy. The kind of guy whose game is better than
average, but basically sucks because it doesn't go anywhere. This is
the guy who can do a good initial approach, and hang on workshop to
help shove students in set and offer a bit of advice. He's not trying
to come across like a guru, so you let him hang out because he's a
nice person and you enjoy his company. He actually appreciates that
he's getting to learn a bit more from you on an ongoing basis.
However, he cannot actually CLOSE and he is not a cool enough of guy
that you would feel good about having students MODEL him. And when he
gets frustrated at not being able to close, he realizes the solution
to his problems.... "Those who cannot DO... TEACH..."
The problem with the third type of guy is that he will have increased
his internal validation by hanging with you, and when you tell him
that he can't join RSD he will be forced to rationalize that YOU are
the problem and not HIM. He will feel like you have DE-VALIDATED all
of his progress for not ACKNOWLEDGING it by bringing him into business
with you.
This will actually mess the poor guy up, because what you did was YOU
GAVE HIM MORE VALIDATION THAN HE WAS PREPARED OR ABLE TO
HANDLE. You
made him feel like a champ for getting to hang with you, but because
he needed your acknowlegement to continue feeling that way he
eventually resented you and the entire game for how he came to feel.
In the end, you didn't really do him any favours.
That leads him to "The 7 Steps of Becoming a Hater". There's the "MM 7
Steps," and then there's this:
Step 1- He decides to start his own dating company and be a guru...
Maybe he even tells you that he still wants to be down with RSD, he
knows he's not on RSD's level yet, and he's just doing it to get even
more experience to come back with later.. Whatever, its not your
problem and he'll never have the charisma to go big anyway. So who
cares.
Step 2- He starts creating his own philosophies to distinguish himself
from you. He rationalizes that your stuff wasn't that great anyway,
and focuses overly on the 5% about your program that he disagrees with
even though a week ago he wanted to join you.
Step 3- He starts to become defensive and begins shit talking you when
students ask him "Are you as good as the RSD guys?" and goes on and on
about how what RSD teaches is evil.
Step 4- When he next sees you and you're nice to him, he feels guilty
for everything he's said behind your back and so he unconsciously acts
negative towards you even though you're supposed to be friends.. This
leads to A) You stay positive and respond nicely, which he interprets
as you obviously having an agenda because it doesn't make sense that
you're being nice when he's being a dick, or B) You aren't as
positive, which he uses as an excuse for why he never liked you
anyway.
Step 5- He goes on and on to his friends, students, and forums about
how he used to be a "cool insider" with the RSD guys, and that he
knows the 'REAL DEAL" about everything and that's why HE left on his
own accord.. Apparently he never liked you anyway, and really he had
game all along and you had nothing to do with getting him to whatever
mediocre level he's reached..
Step 6- He becomes obsessed with you, and uses the few skills that he
picked up while hanging out on YOUR workshops to run a half-assed but
still better than average workshop, while twisting around theories
that he learned while hanging around your programs into things that
you never really said. You then get five emails a day from ex-students
asking why you taught them the wrong stuff, because they read on the
internet that a bonafide EX-REAL SOCIAL DYNAMICS INSTRUCTOR has "given
up his old ways to see the light..."
Step 7- You see him at an event and ask what's up, and he gets mad at
you. Now you have to deal with some irrate little bitch in the room
who hates you, when all you ever wanted to do was hang with a guy who
seemed decent and wanted to learn.
Now, none of this is a big deal. I'm definitely not a guy who minds
confrontation. But I'm not looking to generate it either. And when I
see this stuff, I wonder to myself, "Was it all worth it? If I could
go back would I have let him hang out? Is this what I get for copping
out and not finding people on my own level to associate with?"
I'm such an optimistic guy, and I often naively project my own
motivations of about self-improvement and working together to improve
onto other people who don't share them. And when BEING NICE TO SOMEONE
leads to you having more people who don't like you, you have to take a
step back and wonder what you're doing wrong.
In my opinion, it comes down to keeping your business and personal
life separate.
So to avoid this kind of thing, the solution is this:
Do not make new friends from the community and especially from the
Lounge as they are the most inclined towards problems. Do not crash at
their houses and don't have them stay over at yours. Do not invite
them to hang with you, and do not bring them on or around programs. Do
not answer their emails and do not return their calls.
It leads them to think "I'm as good as them. I can do what they do.
They're regular guys just like me. When we ate hamburgers together, I
could tell that they weren't all that." Keep yourself off of their
radars. Being around them will only give them a head complex.
The big lesson I've learned is this: Focus on making friends with
people who like you for you, and cultivating better relationships with
the people who you're already friends with.
I'll wrap this up with the latest example from this week.
The latest guy on the scene is JT. JT is a pretty nice guy, and I like
him. He had sex with a two girls after going out every night for a
year, and even dedicated the LRs to RSD and Mystery among others. He
was keen and could hold a set. He has not yet BLOSSOMED into a
full-fledged RSD hater, and perhaps he never will. But it was
interesting to me to see this post on the commercial Mystery Lounge,
which was not all that bad but still left me kind of curious why he'd
write it because it didn't reflect that we were nice to him and
allowed him into our home a few times...:
--"I was on the periphery for most of the action, but I knew the
majority of the ProHo players and hung out there only occasionally on
a social basis (I was friends with the only natural there- a non-PUA
who's probably fucked as many if not more girls than the gurus and
thinks that EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the house excluding him and Style
were utter social nerds and/or basket cases- been surfing with Style,
etc). I saw some of the drama, was told some of it, and read the rest
on the boards.
I would say AT LEAST 80% of the drama, dark shit, and negativity IS TRUE."
--So reading this I was a bit surprised and confused, but didn't really
care and I forgot about it. Then later in the day I read this on the
Lair:
--The Asian Playboy sent me this announcement about a free (well,
sort-of) seminar he's holding for all the local boys in Dallas this
October.
On Saturday, October 15th the Dallas Lair will be holding it's first

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yo bro,
I'll always have your back. You're my homie. Honorary yellow niggaa style.
This is a very interesting phenomena. I know it sounds like an AMOG
(it isn't), but you remind me alot of my friend Rhonda who used to be
the singer guitarist in my old band. You both have very strong views,
and you both have a habit of enforcing your frame in a conversation.
She also had a bunch of people hanging off her, especially when she
was in a position of power working at one of the biggest independent
record companies in Australia. She found a lot of people she thought
were friends talking shit about her when she was to the top, and even
more so when she was on the way down.
I think you have a strong personality and many people feel insecure
about your brashness. These guys in category 3 never feel like they're
on the same level and that builds up to some serious resentment. Maybe
it's time for you to integrate some more humbleness in your
interactions. Inside you there's a little Owen man-child. Let him out
and introduce him your friends...
to peace, love and hairy pussy.
