I binged RSD videos back in the day. I started figuring out that part of my life around the time RSD peaked, perfect timing. Being relatively clueless and nervous about it all RSD was perfect. I'd go out, leave my comfort zone, try stuff out, watch videos, deeply reflect on it all and repeat. Rapidly getting closer to my goals for every cycle.
The really important thing to understand when watching their videos and trying to learn from it isn't to copy them as closely as possible, but to grasp the general idea of how and why it works to apply it in your own way. The fact that RSD consisted of so many different personalities made it relatively simple to pick it apart and get to what it is they had in common that made it all work.
One of my main issues being social anxiety I found Julien to be most inspiring to me. Reason being he frequently demonstrated just how extremely far out you can go with what you say and still get laid, sometimes bordering on talking pure gibberish to chicks. Like, here I was worried about saying the slightest wrong thing and this man has girls throwing themselves at him despite saying some of the wildest sh!t I've heard. He's also fun to listen to and his stories are hilarious. Anyways, while I didn't push it to "apologize on CNN and get banned from multiple countries" levels of crazy, I did loosen up a LOT thanks to his videos.
I guess the crowd insecure about looks would probably find Owen/Tyler more inspiring, he always emphasized how he's a fat balding ginger and how that didn't stop him from slaying pvssy. So there I was thinking I looked pretty good, but this fat balding ginger can beam with more confidence than I've ever had? If he can, so can I and so I did. It is as you say though that he's very analytical and that enables him to express a lot of concepts fairly accurately, I personally didn't really need that level of detail, I needed the energy and for that I found Julien to be better.
Overall RSD inspired a lot of progress for me, but the most alpha guy you know is correct, you'll have to develop your own style. What I took from it are the parts that can be universally applied, to become an infinite source of original game. Like Disney movies, they're all different, but follow the same successful formula, at some level they're all the same. I wanted to learn the RSD formula, every story they told was different, but I looked for what stayed the same across all of the success stories. That's what I learned, that's what I apply, at some level I did exactly the same, but differently.
There's no reason to reinvent the wheel, it works perfectly fine as it is, but to develop your own style is to take what is functionally the same wheel and make it look different according to your own tastes.
The best part about RSD was the sheer amount of free and easily accessible content. They basically shared for free everything that you would need, I never paid for anything and with my current more expanded knowledge I seriously doubt their paid courses contained anything useful that wasn't in some free video for those who bothered to look for it.
