Just analysing this infield footage


Can’t really figure out what tactics and techniques Julien is using that is working.

His ‘douchebag’ Game.

I’m assuming this footage is real (?)and not staged with paid actresses or friends of the coaches (or whatever)

If so can someone break down what he’s doing that is working in these pickups?

@James Cruse you have some good insights re challenge & compliance etc

@Skills what’s your take on this

I watched it to halfway - it's just a highlight reel of alot of physical escalation that's out of context to any seduction.

So there's no real techniques being shown here - why would RSD show any techniques on a promotional highlight reel?
The one thing he does with that Jewish girl is just be a challenge, tell her a fake number and have fun > then escalated after he saw her chasing him hard.

The rest is out of context.

Well.. he’s using some kind of T&Ts of game obvs?
Looks kinda like cockyfunny but moreso Command & Challenge,
Very commanding and dominant behaviour from Julien I would say.

he’s making out w 2 girls at once at one early point in video in a club,

that’s pretty impressive.
(I’m assuming the footage is all real that is)

He’s a good example of the old RickHs advice

-“always have a better answer
-“always look for the respect opportunity

All this could be based on RickHs type of cockyfunny game tbh actually.
Juliens verbal frame control is quite impressive.
-‘it’s okay it’s okay’
-‘you’re done girl’
-‘trust me’
Lots of false takeaways, hot and cold, general coquettish flirting style and quick escalation.

he’s pretty good tbh.
Again assuming the girls are real and this is footage of real interactions
 
you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

@GreatManKos this is your style of ‘provocateur Game’ and negative attention type stuff right? What’s your take on Julien here.. cheers Jim

Combination of strong leading. Strong escalation. Strong fun and confidence. And push and pull. "Yo your mint, I can't stand it. Nice meeting you." That's a "leave" threat. It's just a joke tho. Makes her chase.
If you want fast lays, abuse the hell outta these things. And yes, escalate sooner rather than later. Like, it's just silly how fast you can escalate once you learn how.
Love how he neck-grabs and asks "Who the fuck are you?" Stronk. Seksual!

He's leading and escalating

Which is what you should be doing

They're just showing you the parts he's kissing her not the interaction leading up to that point

You're making the assumption that there is a long interaction leading up to that point. Personal experience: You probably saw the entire interaction up to the point of kissing in the video (!). Getting intimate can really be that fast.

When I was new to this community, my mind was totally blown when I saw friends of mine tongue down girls seconds after meeting them. It's all about the frame and vibe you establish early. You can't half-ass that. You can't maybe do that. You gotta be sure. Or get blow out hard.

Then I tried it myself. And got blown out hard lol. But I already knew the truth, so I kept trying and... Whoa, it's happening! I can do it too!!! 😮

You can escalate that fast with a girl depending on how she's reacting to you.

Some women you can, others you can't.

first of all that is 10 years old, is a different total environment now a days.... Second, that is highly edited, and he is doing crazy stuff after the girl is highly invested for shock value...

With that being said, Julian put a lot of work, and he was good at game...

He talks about all the stuff he did in different videos....

he is style uses a lot of self amusement and polarization...

He built compliance bit by bit and did alot of challenging/teasing/disagreement etc. and push-pull and then escalate with compliance repeatedly in a loop.

Sometimes he used state interrupts to get them off whatever unhelpful or unseductive path she was on.

I think his system was fairly simple, everyone makes it sound like he was doing something special.

He learned it all from Owen Cook and narrowed down some things Owen taught him and did them in a heavier and more functional way.

I think Julien really leaned on compliance and micro-escalation more than anyone else in RSD, which is what made his seductions more successful (and also look better for cameras).
