I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
why do you say that?Snake oil salesman
I think that footage is a few years old, pretty sure Owen has less hair now. I wonder how long he can keep putting "LAST CHANCE" on his content, as if he's retiring and his work will be lost. He seems to just keep going anyways trying to sell his coaching, seems a bit desperate.I didn't know Tyler was still at it.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I don't see any masks either.I think that footage is a few years old, pretty sure Owen has less hair now.
He's lost weight since that footage IIRC, but I agree with your assessment. I'm sure he would say that he's "in state".I dunno. He's out of shape, seems sort of gay, looks like Santa, and appears to be cranked up.
Remaining “in state” likely requires frequent 30-second bathroom trips.He's lost weight since that footage IIRC, but I agree with your assessment. I'm sure he would say that he's "in state".

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Let's start with the positive. Shows confidence of some sort, not sure what sort, but some sort. Most women will find him friendly but that is about it, a girl would have to be pretty drunk (or a low hanging fruit girl) to find him sexually attractive. For most men, he is a bit annoying and over the top. Being direct with women and having no fear of rejection is great but you have to have a sexual aura to you. We don't see any sex appeal to him, not just in the way he looks but how he presents himself and his vibe.
I disagree. He is socially dominant. If he approaches 100 women in a night, one gal will give him some ass. That’s all that matters in the end, right?Ugly, balding, dadbod manlet. His only hope is dancing monkey game and jestermaxxing drunk chicks at 1 AM.
I shown this dude's mugshot to a few females. One almost threw-up in her mouth. This dude is butt U-G-L-Y. I cannot believe he can get an average female; let a lot an above-average or hot one (except or a night and some serious $$$).
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
So he's a chick .I've known about Owen and many other RSD instructors for about 7ish years. I could honestly write a giant wall of text on Owen alone, let alone RSD.
I will say, Owen is a fairly complex character. He's not a scammer, because his pickup skills are truly incredible (as someone pointed out, mostly from extremely high-energy social dominance). I went to a PUA bootcamp with him a couple years ago in LA (a buddy of mine had paid for the course but had to cancel, so he let me go in his place, otherwise there's no way I'd pay the $2500 or w/e it was).
It was extremely disorganized and kind of pointless overall, but there were definitely some useful bits of advice here and there. That's really most of what RSD comes down to: sage advice hidden under lays of horse****, marketing tactics, and other shady BS.
Owen is an incredible PUA, I witnessed it firsthand. He gave a demonstration on a street corner where he approached literally EVERYONE, even a spanish couple (who he went up to and started speaking in Spanish and danced with them) and pretty much everyone loved him. Almost every girl he talked to would follow him on IG and left looking happier than before they talked to him. He was basically a magician. He's more or less an ADHD autistic-savant and he's very bad at communicating anything, so you basically have to listen to him talk for 2 hours to get about 5-10 minutes of actual useful information.
That's a good summary of most pickup material IMO. There's about a page worth of actual information, but they want to sell a book so they stretch that out with a few hundred pages of filler.you basically have to listen to him talk for 2 hours to get about 5-10 minutes of actual useful information.
Extend that to most creative enterprises as well. Especially books - publishers want to justify charging $20 so they demand it be 6x longer then necessary.That's a good summary of most pickup material IMO.

I can't identify with him. He's too in your face/dancing monkey for me. James Bond is more my style. I saw another video of him bragging about being a dead beat dad and not paying child support. Definately not someone guys should be looking up to.I disagree. He is socially dominant. If he approaches 100 women in a night, one gal will give him some ass.
