4) Endure.

Let's face it, everyone in this community, including you, is here because of being socially awkward. You’re without exception, depressed little pussies. You probably feel so inadequate that you have thought of becoming a child molester, or animalist. Fuck you, bitch. I hate you. Seriously, why are you sitting on reddit all day instead of going and meeting women? Approach anxiety? Oh my God you're pathetic. You'll never be anything but a fuckup. You're too old. You're too young. You're too fucking BLONDE! Why are you still here, idiot? Why are you smiling? Why are you unaffected by me? Is your reality stronger than mine? Omg it is. You're hawt. Let's fuck.

Pass her tests. Don't let her fluster you. Ever. Ever. Ever. Just don't buy into her frames, or any trap, and she will get a little rush each time you don't, and the opposite of a little rush every time you do. Pass her tests. Be nonreactive. Hang in there, because you know you're golden. Every time a girl tested Alex, he would include a flashing indicator in the video. Don't buy into tests. Pass them. If you buy, she'll instantly be turned off. If you don't, a little attracted frission. You'll be fine. What did Alfred Tell Batman to do? Endure. Remember what Alex told you? there's no reason... If you haven’t yet heard of congruence tests, aka shit tests, they’re a key part of any style of game, and pivotal to know how to handle. They’re not difficult to pass with a C, but there are A+ answers out there too. Much has been written about passing tests, so if the concept is unfamiliar, google it or find a good seddit thread.

5) The rule of 4

Don't be afraid to call for someone's attention, request anything from them, or really ask anything from them less than five times. Alex will try to open four times in a row, and revisit up to four times in a night. Any less is giving up too soon. Any less and you miss an opportunity to let her change her mind about you. Any more is creepy.

"Hey man, lets go out tonight. No, I'm watching TV. C'mon, don't be lame. No. Please, we want you there. I'm not going out. Yeah, you're right. You won't regret choices like these on your deathbed. Fine." Seduction is no different. If she blows you off, ask the same question louder like you didn’t get that you were supposed to walk away dejected. After four attempts, move on. This could mean 16 total attempts. Can I holla? HollaHollaHolla. (Repeat a little while later) If nothing else, this makes life simple. It takes you out of the mind frame of wondering if she likes you, and often times makes you persistent and confident enough to get a great interaction out of someone who is just trying to weed out the irresolute chumps who easily waddle away, tail between their legs.

6) The Negativity Challenge.

Don't ever be afraid to be negative, express your negative emotions, or generally criticize. Even relish the opportunity to do so. Look for that opportunity. You can joke about fucked up shit, express disgust or distain, say the word cunt, order someone to stop being a cunt, respond to a cunty question with a cunty answer, tell "the aristocrats" at family functions, tell a girl who's being a cunt that she's being a cunt, tell a guy who's being a cunt that he's being a cunt, slit a man's throat for lookin' at you like a cunt, or you can even just sit there and not pass the butter.

To illustrate this point, he had all of us yell: "Fuck off!" at him repeatedly. I'd imagine that's actually one of the easiest possible commands to rouse a crowd of men to yell. It was silly, and made us laugh. However, he stresses the importance of being able to be negative for many a non-silly reason. Not only is it healthier than bottling up your emotions, but also It's a type of stimulation for the women. It keeps them guessing about what comes next. There’s no guessing amidst a steady flow of positivity. It’s boring. Negativity, when freely expressed, shows that you're not some little try-hard who is afraid to ruffle feathers or express his true self. It gives you immense credibility and trust to not be afraid to speak the truth, which is obvious when you think about it. These benefits of negativity are complex and interrelated, along with a thousand and one other such benefits.

Of course being too negative of a person is an unbearable trait in somebody, probably even more than being too positive. Balancing the two is of the utmost importance. It In fact, The video flashed a + or - every time Alex said something positive or negative. This didn't necessarily only mean in relation to the women. Alex might mention that the weather in Moscow was "too fucking cold" (-) or that he was passionate about photography (+). It wasn't strict alternation or a pattern, just a concerted effort not to go overboard either way.

Generally though. Alex kept it on the positive. The theory that I’ve developed is that negativity, at least at first, is like physicality (“or kino.” to you pickup lingo dorks) It’s not necessary to swim in it, but show a couple times that you’re unafraid to dive deeply into it, and she’ll respect that about you. She’ll respect that you’re capable of going there, freeing her to enjoy herself because she knows that she’s with a winner. That’s how Alex seemed to be, by the time he was the Alex of the 2012 tapes. He was almost like every other guy, but the little spikes of positivity and negativity, as well as strong and confident body language and natural and subtle physicality. Those touches made a world of difference in his game, and incidentally, actively employing negativity has made the biggest difference in my own game of any of the concepts I learned at the hotseat. I didn't expect that to be the case, but it's true.

THE AFTERMATH

I feel like I just leveled up five times and unlocked numerous new summons. Women have been responding to me to the point that I feel something must have fundamentally changed in me to an extent I'm not even sure I grasp yet. I’m not living an Ax commercial, but to a certain degree, this shit cray. I believe this change, which started the very weekend of the hotseat, was easy to adapt because the sum of Alex’s teachings is greater than the parts. Yet, the real Dooziper of it all is that what seemed at the time like a drastically different approach to game while I was absorbing it, now just seems like the only way of being, intuitive and natural. The whole thing operates like a manual to the three words I’ve been using for about 5 months as the basis of my game: Just be cool The first night after the hotseat got out, a Sunday, some of the wingmen attendees and myself went to a bar. My buddy was in a taxi to Sexville within like half an hour. Right before he left, he was like “This Alex shit is insane!” and a little later, this girl who used to backup dance for Michael Jackson was pretty much trying too hard to bed me. She was making all the moves, and trying to get me in a taxi to her place. It was incredible how hard she was trying, and I didn’t feel like I was really doing anything at all. I should have probably fucked her, but I was just feeling like it was too easy.

A couple days later, I meet this cute German girl. Super cute. We talk, I get a little physical (not too much mind you, because we met in the day) and I do the positive/negative, and tell her that I’d possibly love to tag along to a jazz club in Harlem with her. That night, I don’t go to the jazz club, but she keeps calling me. When her show is over, she comes back to Brooklyn and we do dirty deeds on my friend’s rooftop. And as great as it was, it was almost better when she told me that I was cocky because I knew I could get any girl I wanted. I know that being called cocky isn’t always as ideal as it seems, but the way that she said it was so authentically complimentary, and the fact that I wasn't saying anything cocky, made me realize that I had started projecting confidence to a level that I previously never had.

Since then has been less intense, mainly due to logistics, but I can still sense that women are responding differently to me. Even the ones with boyfriends are kind of vibing with me and giving a comfortable vibe, sometimes even an “if I didn’t have a boyfriend” vibe. I can vouch that it’s been working for my buddy to an even greater extent than for myself.

I give the Alex RSD Hotseat 9 stars. I didn’t give it 10 for a couple reasons. The first con being that sometimes the realities of hidden camera footage made it too hard to see or hear what was going on in the club. Subtitles and further editing would have been nice. The second negative being that the first of the two days went about an hour and a half long, and by the end of a whole day of sitting and absorbing, I wanted to fucking murder the whole room for cutting into my Saturday “going out” time. That being said, I was pretty amped to go out that night. The nine stars I did give are because this changed my game completely, for the way better. Interacting with women was fun, but it’s even more fun now, more effective, and just, pleasantly authentic. I highly recommend checking out Alex, especially if you’re a fan of RSD. I would even attend it again. As monotonous as it would be to spend a weekend learning a lesson I have already learned, I think this would take my game to the next level, because now that I’ve internalized the basics, I could internalize more of the subtler nuances. His message is new, but still falls very much in to place with the greater RSD philosophy. So thank you, you crazy Ozzie! If you ever want to go out on the town, I have a company card to put the drinks on it! Oh wait; I don’t have a job. Fuck it though, I’ll steal the drinks, because you've shown me things.

PS- There are a couple points I want to stress that have nothing to do with the Alex hotseat. These are concepts Alex knows I’m sure, and you probably know as well. I absorbed a lot from the city itself. Because these have been vital lessons for me to internalize from my two months in NYC, evolving by seeing a real community of pickup guys in the field, I feel I should share.

1) Physicality- If you’re not getting at least somewhat physical, you’re not even IN the game. The amount of touch you don’t think you can get away with, you can. Just own it. Really. This is as entry-level as passing tests.

2) A Good Wingman- Someone who is into this shit, and committed to improving. If your friends are naturals or just “chodes/AFCs” or anything but consciously thinking about this stuff all the time and pushing comfort zones, you’re not learning as quickly as you could. Especially if your wing has game, you can learn exponentially faster, and make awesome, likeminded friends. I’ve met so many Gotham Sedditors, and they’ve all taught me a lot. Surprisingly normal folks, too. Special shouts to Harold, Dax, and everybody else that I talked with and learned from.

3) Nothing Matters- It’s the Matrix, so don’t get so caught up in results. It’s easier to realize this in a city like New York, where you can swim anonymously through the fishies, but almost just as true anywhere. Just have fun, and enjoy the playground that is reality, because nothing matters, really.
