No, it just shows that assholes who think that their self-worth depends on everyone seeing them with a leggy “goddess” can get lucky, too. ---

Yes, and sometimes that shit includes assaulting strangers. So? ---

Julien Blanc comes across as the kind of raging dipshit that, if he had not stumbled on this money-making scheme, might well have done an Elliot Rodger-esque shooting spree, complete with self-pitying “girls won’t sleep with the nice guy” manifesto. I seriously want to cockpunch him. ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > Could someone help me out here? Because I’m not sure of how that idiot PUA technique is supposed to work… you press an unsuspecting woman’s face into your crotch and _that_ will make her sleep with you? What?? It makes a lot more sense once you realize that Julien Blanc and others like him don’t actually care whether the woman consents. This has come up in previous threads about “pick-up artists”. I can’t remember the guy’s username, but we had a self-proclaimed pick-up artist posting here for a while who went so far as to boast that a pick-up artist could easily get away with rape because he’d be so good at manipulating the victim that she wouldn’t press charges. ---

> [@Lamia](#): > > The Japanese do not believe that “No” is a polite “Yes”. Quite the opposite – a Japanese person might politely say “Yes” just to show that they’re paying attention even when they don’t agree with the speaker, the same way an English speaker might say “Uh huh”, but “No” isn’t even the polite way to express a refusal in Japan. Many Japanese people would hesitate to bluntly say “No” even if they meant “Absolutely not”.\* There’s a common manager/corporate suit story about working with Japanese engineers and developers. If you ask them to do something and they reply “this might prove challenging”, it means “we’d very definitely need a lot more time and/or money to do what you want, either adjust accordingly or trim your specs then get back to us”. If they say “this \*\*will \*\*be challenging”, it means “You’re out of your fucking skull if you think anything like what you’re asking can possibly be done”. Naturally, American managers interpret “this will be challenging” as the prime time to go on a motivational campaign, “give it your 110%, rise to the challenge !” and that - completely oblivious to the fact that they’re asking the actual impossible. The miscommunication snafu happens more rarely with Brits however - as the British seem to intuitively understand that “there has been a slight setback” means “the entire lab exploded” 😃 ---

I must be dense as a brick (possible), but I’m still not understanding how he gets from Point A (crotch thrust) to Point B (sex). Because I’m thinking, and this is just going by the video, that once those women are free of his grasp, he couldn’t talk them into telling him the time, let alone going to some secluded place so he can rape them. Unless it means it happens right there, but that’s just not being filmed? Like I said, I’m at a loss as to the progression of events that would support his thesis to other (paying) potential PUAs. ---

I don’t think these are women he intends to have sex with. He’s just flaunting his ability to control women to impress his PUA flunkies. I’m sure he’s much more charming with the women he rapes. ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > I must be dense as a brick (possible), but I’m still not understanding how he gets from Point A (crotch thrust) to Point B (sex). I see no reason to believe that he does. Julien Blanc obviously enjoys sexually assaulting women. The video included in the article linked to by the OP shows him boasting about assaulting women on the streets of Tokyo as well as actually doing this, and he describes the experience as “the happiest I’ve ever been”. I don’t care to re-watch the video, but I don’t remember that he even claimed that any of the women he attacked agreed to have sex with him. If he did make that claim, well, it’s literally this creep’s job to claim that he’s had sex with a lot of women. That doesn’t mean it’s true. ---

> [@Slash1972](#): > > Doesn’t this: > > kinda show that this: > works? It means it worked for him and her. Not that it will work in general, nor that it’s a good thing to do. I mean, to use an extreme, date rape “works” if the goal is for someone to screw someone else who is resistant to the concept, but that doesn’t in the wildest imagination mean it’s a good thing to do. But from my experience with my cisgender girlfriends, I’m more than a bit dismayed at how many of them will stare dreamily and practically drool at the attractive jerks, squealing like 12-year-olds should one look their way, turning away the lesser attractive “nice guys.” Conversely, many of the transwomen I know who are beautiful and could have their pick of many men, go for the lesser attractive “nice guys” over anyone else. It’s entirely anecdotal and filled with all sorts of observation bias, but I ponder sometimes as I see a leggy blonde t-girl take a somewhat nerdy Sheldon Cooper out to dance, leaving behind a puzzled Leonardo DiCaprio, whether it speaks to gender differences in selection on a whole different level. 😕 ---

That doesn’t mean it’s true. I must suck today at explaining myself. Sorry. What I meant was this… he has this “career.” In it, he apparently uses videos of himself to convince other would-be PUAs to give him money so that they can get women, presumably to sleep with them. So, my question was, how does that work in the context of the actual seminars? Douchebag A shows video of sexual assaults to Douchebags B - Z. Says, “Do this! And bitches be ridin’ yo dicks for years, yo!” The clueless among them (okay, all of them) surely ask, “But dawg, I get what yer doin’ here, but where comes the beddin’ in?” And then he’d have to proceed to tell them how it’s supposed to work, with his “techniques” as an example. Because truly, these guys ain’t coming to him on tricks for taking the church secretary home to mama for lunch. It’s about sex and I’m assuming, even the stupidest is going to want to understand how those videos allow for their end game. I hope that’s more clear. ---

I still am against assault though, lest anyone think otherwise. ---

The speech wasn’t serious, and he showed the video of “conquests” because he found the scenes were funny? I’m seriously handicaped by the fact I can’t understand clearly what he’s saying to his students, hence if it’s serious or second degree or parody or what. ---

So, my question was, how does that work in the context of the actual seminars? I assume his seminars do not consist entirely of anecdotes about how much he enjoyed assaulting women on the streets of Tokyo. IIRC he does not even claim in the video that it was his “pick-up artist” skills that allowed him to get away with assaulting Japanese women, or that women in other places would tolerate being grabbed by a stranger on the street and having their heads shoved against his crotch. Instead he said something about how white men can do whatever they want to women in Tokyo. As **Spice Weasel** said, this was presumably not intended to be the big secret the audience was paying money to learn but was just supposed to be an “amusing” story illustrating how awesome Julien Blanc’s life is and what fun a man can have when he stops caring about consent.
