Pick Up, Success, and Real Social Dynamics
Walking into the Real Social Dynamics Free Tour (RSD) was more than a little uncomfortable for me. I was suddenly in a position where I was the only woman. I felt more isolated here than when I was the only person from the States in an entire Punjabi town.
To be clear, I am not a very feminine woman. That night I was rocking my undercut, joggers, and flannel button-up, but despite the fact that I largely blended into this room full of men, I still felt like meat.
Almost everyone there was better dressed, taller, and were on a mission to ‘get some.’ I was dragged to the room by circumstance and a need to know what this program was that was changing a good friends life.
It didn’t take long to realize that the message wasn’t awful. It wasn’t about the manipulation we tend to think Pick-up is — scripted lines and psychological triggers — RSD was talking about how to achieve its name: Real Social Dynamics. It was about learning how you can set the energy in the room to achieve your goals. In this context, the goal was to get the girl.
RSD was about taking the awkward you, and freeing it of the social constructs that keep us from talking freely with the people we want to talk to. Boiled down to it’s simplest form RSD was about teaching you how you could have the confidence to get what you want.
