Nice post and interesting read.I think most people in the community knows that Love Systems pays attention to quality (usually, not always) and RSD is more for marketing.

Whoa, I can’t believe RSD sucked that bad. What they have to realize is that you can’t just go from zero to natural. You have to understand the structure of the game first, practice A LOT, and then.. you can reach unconscious competence… Or in other words, become a “natural”.

P.S. RSD actually has a free bootcamp in my city this coming May. I might check it & post again.

Braddock is one of the most committed people I’ve ever seen when it comes to teaching – the first time I met him I was impressed with how much of himself he gave to students in a weekend, doing anything and everything he could to fix their sticking points.

Someone also commented to me recently about how Love Systems is the most “scientific” approach out there. I think that’s true in the sense that we try to break down everything that works into small, manageable and learnable chunks so that it can be replicated by all.

I have never taken an RSD bootcamp though I talk to some of the guys often. It seems to me from personal experiance that as a company as a whole LS takes a more active interest in not just giveing bootcamps but actually helping people. I know that Soul, Fader, and Savoy have all went above and beyond to help me with any problem I have had. I think that pride in work and genuine care (not to say the RSD guys dont have it because I am sure they do just doesnt always seem that way) help the instructors to find specific sticking points. Though I am not a fan of useing canned material all the time I do believe in haveing it just incase, thats one place I think LS really helps at. Like I said they both have their points I just like the Personal investment of the instructors at LS.

PUA Training is not major player, not even close, even if you are an affiliate ;)

They’re probably quality, but that doesn’t make them a “major player”

I think RSD and Love Systems work differently for different people. If you are already talkative and outgoing, RSD can help you quite a bit. But if you are the kind of guy that struggles with the question, “Well…what do I say to her?”, then advising things like “Just have NIMBUS!” is nonsense.

I think the ideas in The Blueprint took me further than anything that I learned from Love Systems (and I learned a lot from Love Systems) but only because the proper foundation had been laid prior to exposure to it.

For most beginners, RSD probably won’t be very effective…I’m wondering what this guys letters might be like had he gone to the Love Systems Bootcamp BEFORE the RSD Bootcamp?

As a guy who has taken both bootcamps, I would say they both have merit. RSD is definitely more intune with “natural be yourself” game while Lovesystems is for the guy who struggles in social settings. Both have their positive points and are really geared for different types of guys….

Donovan > Yes they are, because there are no big pickup companies in Europe, so it’s not that hard to be number 1 :)

It’s like saying “Microsoft, Apple and Redhat are major players in the OS industry”. Redhat probably is in the top 3, but that doesn’t make him a major player. I don’t even think PUA Training is in the top 3, they’re probably number 4 or 5.

How many shitty RSD reviews do people have to read before they get it? This is like the 3rd Jeffy horror story I’ve heard.

The amazing thing is, most guys, like this guy, have such amazingly low expectations when they take a bootcamp — they want to be able to approach and not have girls run away in terror. That’s it. It’s really not hard to get that out of a handful of guys.

RSD: “One of the first rules was that we could not ask the instructor to open a set.”

That’s just about all I needed to hear about that.

I know Love Systems is very good, but putting them next to RSD makes them look even better than they are. Love Systems should be compared to someone who is on their level.

I took a MM bootcamp and did not see any demos so I they really did not help me. The material such as Bullets and the Routines Manuals are cool but the bootcamp was a real waste of $3000.i also found the instructors on the whole to be arrogant and selfserving. I then took an RSD camp and at least the instructors did demos. I figured three times a charm so I followed that up with a Juggler bootcamp and not only did they demo but they participated in sets, winged and I was able to really come out of my shell. So my vote is for Juggler.

I’ve trained with Braddock and I’d have to say the guy is a powerhouse – it’s totally change my perspective on myself and the game. This is because Braddock is a one stop shop! He understands both inner and outer game – both natural “be yourself” and canned game – as well as social circle and stripper/hired guns so I don’t know why you’d need to go to anyone else! Beyond that he has an enthusiasm for what he teaches that is palpable, and he doesn’t teach to hear himself talk – he strives to make sure you not only understand what you’re learning but can implement it as well. Braddock is there to work for you. I’ve taken other bootcamps and never seen anyone with the energy this guy has. He brings a very down-to-earth vibe to his teaching style, he doesn’t come off as holier than thou or arrogant, he comes off like a guy that worked hard to learn the game, mastered it now wants to lift others up to the same place – but without all the hard knocks he had to take. The guy gives 110% PERIOD. Braddock is an instructor that measures his success by that of his students.

I witnessed two Love Systems instructors a couple of weekends ago doing one-on-ones for Daytime Dating. A couple of things struck me about them:

1. They successfully approached and number-closed women. Not just to demonstrate to thir students that they could do it, but because they genuinely found the girls attractive. And they were successful! Then they came back and went into a detailed analysis of exactly what had happened and why. Everything was covered from the approach, body language, eye contact, positioning right down to what exactly was said.

2. The level of understanding, knowledge and experience the instructors possess is self-evident. Not because they overtly proclaim their level of expertise, but because it is demonstrated through authority. After watching a student approach, they pick out exactly what the student was doing well, where they could improve on and how best to succeed on the next approach. All feedback was tailored to each individual student’s style and personality, rather than spouting generic advice that could be gleaned from a book.

The next girl that student approached resulted in a successful number close within 5 minutes. Incredible!

I’ve not been on an RSD course. I don’t need to now. I saw the success and efficiency of the Love Systems Instructors before my eyes.

Fact is, they practice what they teach and ARE able to work with, as opposed to preach at, students and empower them to succeed.

I think Bootcamps, Live Training and One to One’s are NOT the neccessity some guys make them out to be.
I became self taught though studying various Mystery Method/Love Systems literature, watching You Tube Clips and downloading Seminars.

I then went out solo in-field* (*you know the real world?), and through Trial and Error, gauging reactions of who I was approaching, taking in feedback and making constant adjustments I unknowingly gained “an instructors level skill-set” according to one “Top 5 PUA” when I booked him for a live coaching session.

How much do you think you’d gain long term from only One Weekend of Training?
Until someone invents a device like in “The Matrix”, that allows PUA knowledge and skills to be directly uploaded in an attendees Mind- the answer is not much.

One complaint from people reviewing PUA Bootcamps is the power of hindsight. Whilst initially it feels like your feet aren’t touching the ground after the seminar, and many feel compelled to write ass licking reviews the truth is many slip back into their old ways.

After my seminar and One to One, my initial Opinion was this
1)Choose a company who has realised an easy to follow product, that can be used and replicated infield (Venusian Arts Handbook, Magic Bullets)
2)ASAP put into real world practice what it is teaching, One Step or Chapter at a time.
3)Realise you will get feedback intially. Blowouts, Rejections, False Starts, being told to fuck off etc. Its like wanting to be a boxer/martial artist but not wanting to “spar” (fight with a live opponent) becuase you are affraid of getting hit.
4)Read external literature on numberous subjects, Body Language, Evolutionary Biology, Influence (by Robert Ciadini-is good), Self Help, Confidence.
5) Get some additional non PUA Life Coaching, Therapy (I did and didn’t regret it)
6) Network with people who bring genuine Value into your life,Social Connectors, Female Pivots, Cool Guys or anyone who you wouldn’t necessarily take out on a Saturday night but whom adds Value (personal trainer at gym, Martial Arts Instructor, Meditation Instructor, Psychology Tutor, Business Adviser etc).

As for taking a Bootcamp realise this. Success with women is not about idolising a well known instructor, its about working on yourself and thinking about “How Can I” be like that guy and achieve what he achieves.
When I finally met this “Top 5″ instructor in all honestly I realised I knew all the answers in theory (the person was knocked back by my knowledge.
I just needed to learn to make decisions for myself.

Hey guys,

What’s up.. sorry to see you guys did have a bad experience with RSD. I did one BC with RSD in London, with Ozzie on London.

For me it was one of the best weekend of my life. Before that I was shy, but I was talkative and stuff… Ozzie said he didn’t know if it was because of my brazillian vibe. Because girls loved me..

I don’t want to make a marketing thing for RSD, but I think it’s unfair.. that everyone is saying Love System rulez.. RSD sucks.. I think it will depend on the instructor and on the guy.

Like I’m a pretty social guy, have some good friends, talks with a lot of people. My problem was always talking with hot girls on clubs and bars. And I think that got me resolved. When the matter was girl, I always got very nervous. Since my bootcamp I have build up a confidence, got some girlfriends and stuff…

My thing was that.. I did have some very little expectation from the bootcamp. I thought “OK, I’m good at opening.. now I want to be better in confort.” And then when I reach the BC, girls were grinding me, talking in my ear… it was a good experience.

I never did a BC with LoveSystem, so I don’t know. I’ve heard some good stuff from a student here in Brazil, but I’ve also heard some bad stuff.

I’m considering my first boot camp. I plan to attend a few. I want different perspectives, plus it sounds like a good time.

I’m not pure chode, but far from a guru. I will pay the price for an expert to show me the path. I also want to find like-minded friends…mine deny they need any improvement.

I’d love thoughts on a few questions:

– For a newbie…what boot camps are the best bang for the buck?

– What forums or blogs should I frequent?

– Are lairs/groups usually open to welcoming and teaching new members?

hey guys. what’s up?! so after about 500 GBs of pirated info, and after a proper meta-analysis ( accredited degree required ) of the past 12 years of pua education and training, it looks like that i can now conclude that it all pretty much works… your welcome!

sometimes an endeavor in research that’s an over-specialization is required to realize the true essentials. minus the dark side of the pua force– the ability to pick up ANY women without ethics and morals– it really just boils down to…oh crap; well i gotta cut it short. look, i’ll release my product for 100% free to the community, but i’ll need another 5 years. i’ve gotta tackle this Sc.D. first, so until then gents…

read the articles from magazines at RSDs website, or see the free tour yourself, or view one of there products and you will see that it is legit. I particularly like Flawless Natural.

Anyways, I took an ABCs of Attraction bootcamp and used to intern at a NYC based PU company.

konstintine > Oh my god, how old are you?

“If someone says something bad about my favorite pickup company, that mean he has been paid by the concurrents”

That’s so fucking stupid, I’m laughing out loud.

I also went to RSD Free Tour (in Amsterdam and in Brussels), and basically it’s Papa showing pictures of himself with girls, then he gives a few tricks everyone already knows. It you think that the RSD Free Tour is a useful thing, you’re were obviously pro-RSD from the start. Try to look at your notes and at what you really learned that day… if you really do it seriously, you will be shocked… you didn’t learn anything.
How can anyone say that the Free Tour is a good thing?

You should also watch the “Flawless Natural” product you downloaded illegally… but this time try to be critical about it. RSD products make you feel good while you watch it, so if you’re not really smart, you associate it as being a good product, because “you LIKE it” (I’m using your own words!!!). Whether you like it or not, I don’t care… what’s important is that you learn something, and that you can then apply it in-field.

You know what? Let’s try something, because this joke has to stop.

So, I address this message to EVERYONE saying the Free Tour was great. I noticed that NONE of you say what’s actually good in it. So here’s your chance.

What did you like?
What did you learn?

That should set things straight.

Holyland PUA July 7, 2009 at 12:24 pm

Tel Aviv, Israel was great.

Look, Papa was a bit mechanical in his presentation – he’s no Tyler – but he did fine.

Being forced to do pickup in the mall was a mind blower for me. Cathartic. Exactly what I needed. My whole game has been upped. Met a couple like minded dudes w/ fluent English, which I have also been lacking, not being a local here. Since then I have been doing easier sets like social circle party, coffeeshop nearby tables – and having fantastic success b/c my comfort zone has been stretched.

I’m almost 40, going out with women in 20-25 range suddenly. WTF happened? Sure, I read all these PU guys and study too much, but this real life thing pushed me over the edge. Could anyone have said “go PU girls while I get a beer” ?? Sure. But these guys had the clout to get 30 dudes in Israel to show up together…

Thanks RSD for a life changing evening.

Reply

Holyland PUA July 7, 2009 at 12:42 pm

P.S.

A lot of Papa’s material was familiar to me, but was presented in a fresh way. All stuff I need to hear more often to get it programmed. All good.

I personally don’t care about playboy mansions or big parties or being a PUA. I just want more choice w/women. Again, this was a big help.

Btw, I bet of these other companies gave a free tour I would also get a lot out of it.

Hope Y’all come to Israel soon!

COUCOUL December 24, 2009 at 9:00 am

LOVE SYSTEMS = the milked cow SYSTEMS

I take bootcamp 1 on 1 day game with one of Love Systems instructors and this gay has no game.

THEORY : 4H

The instructor takes 4 hours talking about theory:
Structure : opening attraction comfort …
Day game
Difference between day game and night game
The attractions switches

I know all theses elements the only think that I learn with this gay is how to talk with woman with emotion not with logic. He gives me some example.

PRACTICE : 3H30 MIN

After we go to the field I tell my self I’m going to see real PUA in action working the mall. This gay can’t have conversation with woman. He talks to some girls just for few seconds. Stop one girl talk to her for about 2 minutes take her number I have no idea what he told her and what she told him.

The problem is not just the instructor. There is nothing in the lounge too.

Few days before I see this beautiful girl on the street and I tell my self I need to go and talk to her but I stop not because of approach anxiety but I just think about it. If I go and approach her and I have nothing to tell her after: what do you do today? (This is what this fake instructor tell: go direct game and tell what are you doing today) I will have the some result: she will just give the IOD: I have to go, I have BF, or she will give me her phone number and it will be flake.
I was in the middle of the street asking my self : why I take this bootcamp ? The answer is: to get good with woman and have beautiful woman in my life.
And this is exactly what love systems tell me in the day game workshop.
http://www.lovesystems.com/training-programs/day-game-workshop

They tell me : Imagine being able to approach a woman you wanted to talk to in any situation and have an attractive conversation with her.

They teach me how to APPROACH A WOMAN but they don’t teach me how TALK IN ANY SITUATION AND HAVE AN ATTRACTIVE CONVERSATION with her.

So what they tell you and what they really teach you is completely different and if you like to learn how to talk and have an attractive conversation with woman you need to buy the books, audio and DVD : Magic Bullets, routines manuels, Text Game, Interview Series. You need to take bootcamp for day game, for comfort, for inner game, if you have questions phone training …

So this is just BUSNESS COMPANY. In this company all they care about is your money. For them your are not STUDENT your are CUSTUMER. You’re like a cow for them you should always milked. The love systems site and all Blogs the media are just publicity.

There is nothing you are going to learn from this busness company trust me. I give 1500 $ to some looser to see him running and stopping girls in the mall. (Exception: If you are new at this you have no idea what is an opener maybe take bootcamp you will save some time reading but 1500 $ for 8 hours is too much. In my opinion don’t pay more than 200 or 300 $.)

For me REPEAT: NOOOO

[img]http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/eq9oip6i9pev5x083nav.png[/img]

THE BUSNESS COMPANY LOVE SYSTEMS
MEDIA WHO GIVE YOU FAKE VALUE
THE FAKES REVIEWS
TO EVERY FAKE PUA AND INSTRUCTOR IN THIS COMMUNITY
THE FAKE ROUTINE : I take the bootcamp and it change my life
THE FAKES LAY AND FIELD REPORTS AND FAKES PICTURES

You can fool some people for some time, but you can not fool all the people all the time

In my life I take some bad decision, this one of them. But I’m not going to be the milked cow.

I’m not going to respond to anyone this is ADVICE take it or leave it.

This review sounds like a bunch of BS. I, for one, believe the RSD or natural approach is far superior and can back up that claim by the way I blow out my local MM chodes every fucking weekend. The problem with routines is that eventually you will run out of routines and then the chick will realize that they are hanging with a chode that was just reciting lines and canned material. I myself, love to blow out MM guys. They just sit there talking, scarred to escalate while I’m sitting there making out with the chick they were just talking to. MM is for guys that are not confident enough to be themselves and pick up chicks. I also have taken many bootcamps, and besides some independent ones, the only company specific bootcamp I would ever recommend is an RSD bootcamp. And since I have also taught on a hand full of independent bootcamps I can tell you that a lot of guys are way to in their head and don’t realize that pick up is about a raw intent and projecting that intent to the target. It is not about learning some elaborate “routine Stack”. Routine Stacks will never beat out a natural, cool vibe. Give natural game a try for 30 days and I believe you will agree.

C January 4, 2011 at 6:39 am

Your right on the money Adam Elite, I have never been to a bootcamp and am better than anyone I know, I believe that most of the people who have gotten really good, have not taken boot camps, because they know in the end they are going to have to make the change and hanging out with a guy whos really good with girls for 3 days isnt going to do that for them, if you could hire an instructor to train you 5 nights a week for 2 years that would be a different story, but who has that kind of money?

Gogo, your right also, these instructors just keep spouting off the same info over and over, and its pretty pathetic that people keep paying them to do the same bull crap over and over again, heck I’d like to run a company where I just pick up girls and spout off the same crap over and over again, just in slightly altered ways and make bank.

I mean seriously pay one of your friends to force you to approach and youll have close to the same experience.

And N seriously dude, when did RSD brain wash you, the message you wrote makes you sound like your not even a real person, your either someone who gets payed to market RSD products or your just a computer program RSD has set up to find web pages and talk about how great RSD is.

I mean dude come on, Jeffy even admits to having memorized 10 hours of routines in the Jeffy show, how is that natural?

Open your eyes, people are taking your hard earned money so they can party and drink beer all day.

All in all no one needs to take a bootcamp to become successfull with women, but if you are going to take one, I think the price of each bootcamp speaks for it self. Love systems has consistently been able to charge twice as much as RSD. I mean money speaks louder than word, you can tell me I’ve done a good job all day every day, but I’d rather you just pay me twice as much that would make me way happier. And did’nt RSD have to reduce their price from $2000 to $1500 this year and Tyler keeps promising that the price is going to go back up because the boot camps are so packed yet it never does.

It is yet another marketing skeem they tell you the bootcamps are sold out even if there is only one guy taking it so it looks like they have a good product. Plus RSD is a company who tell a bunch of lies, like “being rich dosnt help you out with women” and having a table at a night club won’t help you get layed.” And Tyler presses all this made up marketing bull crap on every one, he might as well have just been like, guys I came up with this lie about how things work in the real world so you would believe that you don’t need money to get girls all you need is my product. Because I want to live on a beach in Hawaii where I can surf and party every day and while you hold down a job in the real world working 40hrs + a week all be running bootcamps that last 21 hours where someone pays me to hangout with them at a bar and that will be the most stressful part of my week, eventhough that is how most people blow off steam.

Where on the other hand Love Systems instructors will openly admit that money helps you with women and they don’t change the price of their bootcamps. So A they dont lie about what works and what dosnt to generate more money and B they dont change their prices, this tells me that their not hurting for business.
