Website plug (so we can easily find it)- check

Mentions most popular book title (for social proof) - check

Gives price range for other products (flexibility) - check

Specific course title (plugging newest piece of shit work) - check

Definition of course title (so we understand it, just broad enough - cold reading technique - playing percentages,casting wide net -everyone has negative thoughts, except MCT) - check

Advertisement on OPs post says registration ends today (fake time constraint to create pressure to sign up) - check

Reads like an Ad for his gay courses. Weak shit.

Glover should spend his time updating NMMNG to delete the part where he foolishly instructs betas to tell their wives about fight club... and also about the gay sex moratorium. Very harmful faggot advice. Not sure why it’s even on the sidebar.

Yes, but only in very limited ways.

I've taken most of his online courses (nothing in-person). My take on the online courses is:

They are reasonably priced when you consider the other dating/relationship/life advice products out there.

They are ridiculously over priced when you consider that you are paying $150 - $250 for brief PDF books that are given to you a chapter at a time over a period of weeks.

The dating advice is for the most part good. It's aimed more to the older, non-club scene and is a little dated (pre social-media). But nevertheless it's well done material. He's a good writer. It (the content) owes a lot to pick-up, with a strong dose of general men's self-help mixed in (e.g. The Way of the Superior Man). The online class forums are mostly worthless. You really can't dig into your deepest issues in an online forum. It is talk not action, which tends to victim puking and mental masturbation. (I speak from experience.) The doctor's answers are often pretty perfunctory and brief, unless it is a question that connects in some way to his personal story, in which case he can be quite verbose.

Which brings me to Dr. Robert Glover the man. I've never met him in person, but have read and listened to almost all of his products over a period of years. (I'm the better man for it.) This is what I have concluded about him as a person:

I tend to like the guy and dig his shtick. But he strikes me as something of a phony. He started out as a preacher. He got a second divorce some time in his 40s, which coincided with his loss-of-faith and a subsequent turning to pickup, which led to him getting ink done and laying some uglies -- by his own admission -- "around" 20 he says in one of his podcasts. He goes on to write his book; has some success. Yada yada yada. He moves to a resort town in Mexico and takes a bride (third wife) from among the Mexican working-poor, whose lack of education, strong conservative Roman Catholic religious beliefs, and poor-to-no English mesh well with his old fashioned ideas of male/female relationships.

These things are all by his own admission. I didn't guess that she's poor, nominally religious, and not an English speaker; he said so. Not that there is anything wrong with that. More power to him. There might be a short, chubby, hot Mexican lady who wears too much make-up, plunging necklines, and who believes in the magic-man in the sky waiting to bring joy to my life. (Dangling modifier or Freudian slip. You make the call.)

I've noticed that both Dr. Robert Glover and Messr. Neil Strauss have a thing for going slumming. By that I mean choosing partners (and in Neil's case friends) who are well beneath their own social/economic/education status. They are, I suppose, using hypergamy to their advantage. Dr. Glover gave an interesting response to a question about hypgamy in one of his online class forums, essentially telling his pupil that if he ( the pupil) understands the concept of hypergamy why is he discussing it and trying to sound intelligent by throwing around a fancy word instead of using the knowledge to his advantage -- which, come to think of it, is a pretty good answer -- particularly if a really great women who is somewhat lacking in good taste and seriously lacking in education makes you happy. If so, great! Happiness is what we all seek. But it seems to negate all the fancy relationship theories Dr. Glover puts in his classes. Heck, cut to the chase and marry a women who will worship your shit because compared to where she came from you're shit is awesome.

In regards to the Ruminating Brain course. It is good. I felt that it, along with his dating material (no longer offered as online classes), was his strongest material. But there are far cheaper books on mindfulness, although they will not be as concise or aimed at a specific demographic: in this case men. And the dating material, although mainly pickup for the post-college/middle-aged divorcee crowd, is quite good.
