The reason why I never really liked RSD as much as here was because their name was misleading. It stands for Real Social Dynamics, but they rarely ever teach you or talk about social dynamics at all. When they do, it’s one of the greatest bits ever. But for the most part, they don’t, it’s just a PUA website now. SS talks about getting laid too, but the overall atmosphere of the two places differs. Here it’s like you learn about social dynamics via what someone here says about something in regards to being asked advice about women. There, it’s like they give you only player advice and not life advice at all regardless of what you ask them. For the most part, older posts of the manosphere in general are better. But newer ones suck. RSD is good for noobs, but not as good for higher level thinking. I know that one pornstar/businessman named Rocco Siffredi used to post there actually, and now he hit it big. He used to not be **** and grew up broke as ****, didn’t know how to do anything, couldn’t get women, had a ****ty life as a kid. But he was hungry. He said he read every self help book he could get, started trying for women, just GRINDED to make his life better. Posts like his were of the few extreme goldmines of info that you could take from. Unfortunately, he deleted his account and you can’t find it anymore. Maybe you can find it on internet archives or something, but this was years ago since I last read his post or even visited RSD. And by the way, you can learn pretty much everything from posts like that from the DJ Bible, The Book of Pook, and The Black Flag. I didn’t read all of the Bible (barely read it tbh lol but that’s because when I first found this place I read only old ass posts from the early 2000s somehow), not did I even read the Black Flag at all even though I have it, and the Book of Pook was huge, but I only read about half of it. I read many of Pook’s posts during my time reading the older forum posts. Honestly, I still cannot believe how one man was able to figure out and articulate in such a well-written and clever way how women work and what it means to be a man. And I’m shocked that he got so far with it too before he left. Most people who gained his knowledge would have left way long before getting to that point of wisdom, much less write about it all. That’s why I like him so much. He stayed for longer than he even needed to and opened my eyes to just how much men are attacked at being men (i.e. feminism). One dude had such a strong impact. At least on me anyway. Thanks Pook.
But yeah, all you really need to read is the Book of Pook and you’re good. It really is timeless.
