I've heard people talk about getting "too deep" into RSD. I've also heard talks about how they manipulate insecurites in men? What is this all about? Are they legit?

Just speaking for myself personally, I can definitely see how people can take the messages they are putting out in completely the wrong way. If you aren't supplementing watching their videos with reading, actual experiences from your past and things you've learned from doing stuff yourself, its very easy to end up in some dark places. You have to keep grounded from the beginning and really ask yourself and fin out why you are doing self development/pickup in the first place, and try to remember that along the journey.

I was fortunate to find them in high school. Just by adopting the philosophies and mindsets that hit a note with me and filtering the stuff I didn't really find useful, i'm currently in a place in life I could only have dreamed of back in the day. I'm currently in dental school, i've dated multiple attractive women and i've learned more about myself than I ever thought possible and I don't really know for sure if i'd be on this path if I didn't discover self development.

Anyways, it's all about how you interpret the material they are putting out and internalize it yourself. You also have to realize they are fucking around and overexagerating 90% of the time and to not buy into EVERYTHING they are saying as if it was fact and the only way things can be. Overall, i'd say the whole point of all of their stuff is to develop the best reality for yourself, whichever way that may be.

i don't see it as manipulative at all. let's compare it to a game like soccer. everybody can kick a ball around right? that's like being born being able to interact with women. then you learn the tricks of soccer and use it and get better. you can't complain that the laws of physics are this way and you don't want to follow those rules. you want to be able to kick the ball left and have it go right because you naturally liked kicking it that way.

is knowing the rules and playing it well manipulative? i think it's more selfish and entitled to think that you could be yourself and people would love you. if you were born a nerd and didn't like interacting with people, you'd end up dying alone. is learning social skills trying to be something you're not? should you build on being a nerd and dying alone? fuck no.

in life, if you want to be successful, you gotta do what needs to be done to get what you want. you can't put feelings into it. that's why most ceos are sociopaths. if they let their emotions dictate what they did, they would be too afraid to do this or that.

women are the way they are and humans interactions evolved a certain way. just thank god that you live in a time period when the internet was invented so that secrets in pickup can be shared this way. in like the 80s, if a born natural pickup artist wanted to school a protege, he would pass on his skills to maybe 2-3 guys at most in his entire life. beta providers would jerk their dicks til bitches got off the cock carousel and marry them. it was a horrible time. at least now, betas have a fighting chance.

the purpose of an average man is to have a nice family and be happy. thank fucking god that we live in a time where we have some control over that and not leave it up to chance by meeting the right girl at the right time.

It's not cult like. I visit RSD frequently and the advice is useful in my opinion. They talk about being YOUR best self and doing what's best for YOU. They're laying down the foundation for you. It's up to you to build it up.

RSD are one of the better companies imo. They rant a lot of waffle though. Imo James Marshall, Sasha Day, John Keegan are more to the point. It's all the same stuff. It's great you're skeptical, because there are some marketing succubi out there :P
