A bit, not much. I never winged with him, just saw him out at the clubs a lot back in 2013 in Vegas. But I have friends who winged with him and the rumors aren't great. Not getting into that. To be clear, my game was never great. I'm not some pickup instructor and I am not structuring my life to maximize lays. Learning to pull and close consistently is way harder than you imagine. People and girls especially tend to assume it is easy. It's not easy at all unless you are a master.

I always identified more with American culture than Russian culture. Don't let your "home" culture gaslight you. Follow what you like. Culture is all just a construction anyway. You shouldn't take culture seriously. It's a joke invented by chimps.

I don't doubt JA's game skills. I've seen him pull hot girls. But there is more to life than game. Owen never claimed to have great game. It's pretty obvious that Owen's value was never in having the best game but in higher topics.

Very nice!

You should be working on raising your value every day for the rest of your life. Pretty soon you will be in the top 1% of guys and you will be so unique and valuable, no one will be able to compete with you. This is not for girls, this is for you. The girl just gets to feel the glow of your inherent awesomeness. This is not about girls! This is about self-actualization! Ground your confidence in self-actualization and self-realization. Put your nose to the grindstone. Other guys are irrelevant. Actualize yourself.

This is not a matter of trusting Owen. Carefully consider his perspective, running it through your own critical thinking, wisdom, and Tier 2 understanding. Sort the signal from the noise. There is always a lot of signal in Owen's talks.

Owen's teachings are over JA's head. Owen is not teaching you how to get laid, he's teaching something higher. Be careful dismissing Owen so easily. He is a serious intellect despite whatever shortcomings and biases. Owen is one of the few PUAs that thinks deeply about reality. 2 of JA's wings are in prison for 10 years for gang-raping drunk girls in Vegas. JA is so sketchy he was too sketchy to work for RSD in its heyday.

Just excuses your mind invents to not approach. If it's not guards, it will be boyfriends, if not boyfriends, then an endless list of other excuses. Stop believing your lying mind. Nothing remotely illegal in approaching.

@Irina Wolf Sounds like you need to work on developing relaxation skills and letting go skills. See my video: Body Awareness Sedona Method could help you. Body relaxation practices could help you. Meditation could help you. Psychedelics could help you.

Psychedelics

This is absurd. You can easily make DMT and it doesn't matter where it came from.

Tough titty.

Of course. Whereness is imaginary. You cannot apply the notion of whereness to consciousness because consciousness imagines whereness. For the same reason you cannot apply the notion of thingness to consciousness.

Content/context is just another silly duality.

Looking for some "ideal teacher" is the trap. Humans will always be full of shit, so go straight to the Source.

You can work to get a well-paying job, move out from your parents, and then pursue art afterwards by saving up money and enrolling in a school. Your LP requires long-term strategy. You won't necessarily be able to do it right off the bat. I had to work in online marketing for 3-4 years (which I hated) to make the money to fund my LP. Stop blindly obeying your parents. They have no idea what is best for you. You don't have to do anything they say. Just get a job and move out and stop letting them dictate your life. If you care about your LP you will not let anyone dictate you.

Why would you work every day to stay alive if you were not biased against death?

OMG! *facepalm*

He never read 1 book a day. That too was a scam.

I'm alive, ain't I?

Don't let devils gaslight you.

Go get tested. Colds and flus are common.

You have a bias against death. That's the core falsehood. The truth is that nothing matters. Yet if you align with that you will die. Therefore to be alive you gotta be in falsehood.

He clearly believes it himself. It's not a stunt, it's his worldview.
