Hey there, I have a question for you guys. Do you think the RSD style of game or the Mark Manson "Models" style of game is better?

Something happened to me to make me wonder this

I came up on Mark Manson's Models, but I never really used it too much. It got me started approaching, but I soon realized that I wouldn't get as good of responses from "Hey, I thought you were cute and wanted to meet you" than something more RSDesque, such as "Are you Swedish?". Because of this I started on the RSD path, becoming a Julien addict, and following Max a bit as well, with some Tyler sprinkled in.

There is no doubt that my game has improved tremendously using the RSD methods, I've made out with and pulled many (actually not that many, but more than the none I was pulling) people from bars, and have had decent experience, but I find that these girls are not of the quality that I would like.

I then met this amazing girl during the day, in a very random scenario through cold approach, and we immediately hit it off. I continued to go out, practice pickup, and attempt to make her jealous by talking about my girls that are friends - another RSD method (they say practice abundance by seeing multiple girls, and DHV subtly by talking about friends). Things were great until she broke it off with the LJBF chat. She was extremely genuine and honest, and it got me wondering if authenticity and a lack of games were preferable.

Now I'm at a crossroads, because I interpret the LJBF chat as one of two things:

  1. If RSD is correct, I probably was being "man-to-woman" enough and being too beta

  2. If Manson is correct, she was into it, but just had no tolerance for games and subtle jabs and decided to bounce.

One last thing I might mention is that I've gone out with some RSD inner circle guys in some cities, and while they all seem to be great guys, some seem to be only interested in sex. Some seem to only care about having sex with as many girls as possible even if the quality of girl is low (ie drunk loud bar girls), whereas I'm much more interested in a relationship with an intelligent and fun girl, much like the one I just blew. I'm also torn between having abundance to not be needy, and wanting to share life with one amazing girl (I catch the feels easily, so RSD's methods have helped me in this regard)

Anyways, my anecdote was only half relevant to the question, I'm more just interested in opinions on these two schools of thought - has anybody tried both and decided that one worked better for them than the other? Specifically if you want to date a high quality woman but not be needy and get attached. Anything is appreciated. Sorry if my grammar is impeccable, English is my first language.

TDLR: RSD vs Models, which is the better approach?
