Any good videos that aren't demeaning?

David deangelos material is very motivational and positive. You can also benefit from non pua material like Tony Robbins.

Tripp advice, he's not really much a "bro" type PUA. Old Style stuff.

Personally, whenever I found a video "demeaning", I found it offensive because I knew the speaker was telling the truth. I didn't want my flaws pointed out so I would get defensive because I was too much of a little bitch to be able to hear my flaws plainly laid out. In other words, generally, me taking offense to a video was a reflection of my own insecurities. It's worth thinking about.

Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, but it's something I noticed in myself and other people.

That being said, kicking someone who's already down isn't useful, sometimes. Sometimes, being kicked gives you the motivation to stand back up. It depends on the person. But, IMO, if you're the type of person to self-pity and not do anything to fix your problems, then that's your own fault.

That Tao of Badass stuff is pretty legit.

I don't know about demeaning, but there is a lot of material that just doesn't resonate with me because it stems from a negative mentality. For example:

Talking about women like they're objects and all the same
Speaking of other men as if they're your enemy
Portraying guys who don't know anything about pickup as clueless oafs
Saying stupid things like, "Most guys just want to know the magic pickup line." I really don't think most guys want that, and by saying they do, you just seem out of touch.

For better or worse, I've consumed a lot of self-help material, so it really strikes me when the content is marked by negativity. For example, I know guys love RSD, but why does Tyler have to always go into a Southpark voice (if you watched enough of his videos, you know what I mean) and mock some hypothetical guy that he made up to make a point? You might say that he's pointing out pitfalls or something, but mostly I think it amounts to ego-based shit-talking.

Steve Jabba and Richard la Ruina are both petty legit. Just discovered those two masters within the last week or so. Seem like pretty decent guys with some great information.

I think this guy has the approach you're looking for.

You should probably take into consideration that part of the problem you're experiencing is that you're opting to take the tough love approach in a negative light. If your goal is to improve yourself, you really should take a critical look at the behaviors that are holding you back. You're not going to get anywhere by coddling yourself. Besides, if you're taking exception to a blanket statement made by a guy in a PUA video (someone who doesn't even know you), it's probably because it's making you face a very uncomfortable truth: you do need to be better. If it didn't apply to you, the words wouldn't even faze you.

Simple Pickup is how I got introduced to the world of pickup. They do a pretty good job of showing how not giving a fuck works. However, because their sole purpose is to entertain, they seem kinda like novices and never show anything beyond #-closes and the very rare kiss close. Honestly, even the most awkward of AFCs can get a #-close if the girl just wants them to leave them alone.

I love Keys to the VIP. They do a pretty good job showing how to do pickup at clubs. Not only do they show approaches, but the judges analyze the approaches simultaneously. They each have their own style, which gives a different perspective on things: the gentleman, the jock, the cocky prick, and the mysterious guy. Their purpose is also to entertain. However, from what I can tell, little (if any) of the interactions seem scripted. They can get a pretty diverse range of contestants, from the most awkward, inexperienced dudes who might get lucky once out of 100 times to dudes with rock-solid and textbook knowledge of game like Cajun, the revered PUA who has done an AMA on this subreddit before.

Finally, there's "The Natural Lifestyles" by James Marshall (who's also done an AMA here.) His videos are like upper-tier type of shit. The dude just oozes class and confidence. It certainly doesn't hurt that he looks like a model. I particularly like his friend Liam McRae who clearly has his shit together. He seems like a regular dude, objectively less good-looking than James Marshall. But that doesn't hinder him at all. I personally feel he's the better PUA, simply because he doesn't have the good looks or smoothness of James but still pick ups very attractive women. In the few videos I've watched, he gives off a very confident, playful vibe. He also seems to have an exceptional grasp of pickup and an impressive ability to analyze his interactions with ladies.
