The guy says and does a million creepy things, but actually I disagree, that was not one of them. He was saying that the statement challenges her independence, which will make he take offense and assert her actual independence. Not only was he not saying she has no independence, but he was RELYING on her having it. The manipulation is also still creepy, but "desire for her to not have independence" was not present. It's like telling someone they probably aren't tall enough to reach that jar on the top shelf anyway, so nevermind. When you know full well they ARE tall enough and never doubted it for a second, just trying to get them to prove you wrong.
@@gavinjenkins899 i’d argue that manipulating somebody into doing what you want them to do is still stripping them of their independence, just more covertly. at any rate, he could’ve phrased it WAY better
You think these are the guys who have a problem with rejection? You clearly don't understand the problem at all. These guys have no trouble getting with beautiful women, it's their pathetic students and the vast majority of terrified idiots who fear rejection to the extent of returning to the nest for the rest of their lives and sinking their souls into video games and carb addiction. The predators always win in this society. See: Bill Cosby and Donald Trump... newly freed and still free. These sleazebags are just profiting off the system that already existed long before they built their union of "venusian" stewards. They teach betas how alphas think and run them through the paces, for a lot of money. Hate the system, not the player, they will all tell you this and we should probably be giving them a tiny bit of credit for being honest about that.
@@johncaccioppo1142 I'm sorry, you think this guy gets girls? LMAO. Dude, please. Please stop believing in this alpha beta bullshit. Cope with something that is actually fucking real, like drugs or video games or exercise. Come on.
Don't you know? As a fEmaLE you are suppposed to say "hi sorry I have a bf, so I can't talk to you" as soon as someone from the opposite sex starts talking to you. When you have a boyfriend, you are not allowed to talk to other guys.
You can tell that he's hit on all the actresses he hired for this "game" and they're all just there to work. Every single actress has such disdain for him, and it shows.
You know how women sometimes laughed nervously or laugh shockingly because they are not happy with what you just said but they are trying to ease the tension or or avoid confrontation so they can leave the situation without feeling in danger of the guy? This is the type of dude who do not know anything about that concept and think that every time I've girl laugh it means she likes you.

When guys ask me if my boyfriend would be cool with us talking, I know immediately that they see me as walking sex option and not a human who enjoys the company of both sexes. A great signal really.
Yeah because instead of respecting you or the relationship he only respects the other male, treating him as the de facto leader when any good couple are equals.

Worship is putting something on a pedestal, it's not respect.
@@EidolonSpecus Sorry I think I have judged you too fast. I thought you were making a disparraging comment about women not being human. That's why my earlier answer is over the top. My bad 😅
Watching this, I had concluded that the reason he needed to resort to psychological manipulation tactics was because he is, in fact, the most boring man on Earth. Even in the correct options he just drones on and on about nothing (or himself). I couldn't even imagine trying to hold a conversation with this man 😑.
PUA teachers aren't known for having natural social skills. It would make their narratives pretty counterintuitive for somebody more awkward than them, which is their intended target audience.
And that’s the real issue isn’t it. His affect is so flat. The hair could use A LOT of work, but he dresses nicely and has decent features; if he had a little charisma he’d do a better job of selling these lines. But the women he hired to be in these scenes with can’t even pretend to be engaged by him.
If nothing else, when faced with a difficult situation I will now always start by asking myself "Can this be solved by gifting someone a small kumquat tree?" Truly useful stuff.
I like how sometimes, an answer seems like it’d be a light joke, and then it’s completely straight-faced comic book perv behavior and Richard just sits there alone and shames you. Other times, the answer is full on obvious manipulation which you expect to be wrong but pick just to see it, and cheerful Richard sits there patting you on the back with half-naked ladies. It’s so hard to figure out what’s meant to be funny or not To be fair, the games did make me laugh a fair few times, just probably at the wrong times
Your comment just awakened my buried high school memories of playing Cooties Bar games on Newgrounds, where the gross or immoral answers are the right ones, and being a goody-two-shoes gives you the bad endings.
Oh I've had that one before and when I told them no they were like well. What are you doing here then? Living. I'm enjoying the nice weather and shopping in this place that I'm not a local to.
Oh, ever heard of galges? DON'T GOOGLE THEM. But it's a whole game genre with hundreds if not thousands of titles in which the player gets to date several girls, very much like we've seen here. The goal is "entertainment" as the target audience has given up on "3D pig disgusting" women as it is and is quite content indulging in fantasies about 2D girls. At least that's how it works in Japan where galges come from, at least for the most part. But Western fans do like to take the "tactics" learned therein. One of the very worst things about this kind of game is that, like all games, there is always a way of getting it right if you try hard enough. In other words, your waifu to be may reject you ten times but once you read the flags and tick the right options, she- being a 2D, fictional creation with no autonomy by definition- will forget all those times and accept you. I suspect this is one of the reasons why you see so many neckbeards refusing to flat-out take rejection, no matter how sternly stated it is- or how often. This mentality is, I'm sure, common in non-galge circles but to give an example, that I have encountered in anime in which being great at galges is what makes the hero, well, the hero (!): Game Scenario has Bookish Girl. So you go about finding out what books she reads, read them yourself, and then impress her with your knowledge. This is not about having a common interest. You don't care about books, or, if you do, not those ones. You did not come to love her books via this process. No, you read the books she reads because you can then woe her into liking you. In real life, if a guy meets a girl who likes to read- I'm such a person- he will try to worm himself into her affections by affecting a taste in books. When this fails, he will then be STUNNED because he did all he was supposed to do. It's the idea of "action equals reward" that is at the root of the problem. Sorry for the TED talk but it is truly depressing how this game is but a drop in the ocean of games along these lines. There is a whole GENRE of them.
@@Nocturnalux ngl, I low-key want to Google it now. 😂 but jokes aside, that sounds messed up. And I get what you're saying too. I've noticed there are LOTS of games like that.
@@miss_chelles1338 Oh yeah, there are. There was a galge that was even banned, which hardly ever happens. The reason was...the player got to interact, flirt, date and eventually have sex with girls who were disabled. So the key to "getting" them factored on appearing sympathetic and then exploiting their disability...it was so awful, that it got banned, in a country not known for banning such content.
@@Nocturnalux In early uni we were addicted to galges/eroge, and would play as many as we could get our hands on (usually catching viruses in the process)! We would sit down and go through the different routes trying to 100% complete them. Pretty often we ran into some twisted, dark, and all-around fucked up ones, and especially ones with sociopathic protagonists (looking at you, "Gibo~Stepmother's Sin~"; the first and LAST time we took an eroge recommendation from an online forum). In any case, never heard of a game like the one you described. That's uber fucked up!
@@pyromaniacforhire As I mentioned, it got banned almost as soon as it was released. I expect you can still find it- if you dig hard enough- but I cannot even recall the title. All I remember is that one of the girls was a fire victim and a lot of her body had been burnt…yeah. I think there was also a blind girl but not entirely sure.
@@Name-tn1zg I would guess it's the misogynistic radicalization a lot of lonely boys and young men encounter when they look for advice (like any lonely young person would do). Men are kind of garbage at mentoring each other in communication and boundaries, and the culture at large encourages them to treat women as ranked prizes with empty heads and not as people they can connect with, so you get profiteering stuff like this, where you turn an infinitely complex part of the human experience into a game with discrete achievements.
If a dude tells me "women study Instagram here", I will tell them that's sexist and we would inevitably end up arguing about feminism. It has happened before. It's like I'm being hostile and radical for not appreciating have sexist stereotypes thrown at me out of nowhere.
The worst part about jokes like these is that the underlying sexism ruins the joke. Like, it’s an unfunny joke on its face - like there’s seriously zero wit required in it - but the fact that he unironically believes “haha women use Instagram because they’re vane,” it reveals that he isn’t trying to be endearing, just someone pretending to have charm.
Ngl out of everything in this awful game, the one thing I know for a fact would work on me is giving me a baby tree, maybe not kumquat, maybe like, a weeping willow or a pine, I'd love that I'd give them a promise ring on the spot
NGL if someone bought me a Kumquat tree I'd definitely be mildly seduced. Because I definitely need more plants in my tiny apartment and I don't have a problem ok?
I love how he says "yeah, I like this one" and then pretends that champaign is the "better option" Dude. It's *champaign*. 1° there is alcohol in it, I don't drink alcohol 2° it's bull of tasteless bubbles, 3°wait at least a few days before playing the "it's time to CELEBRATE your new life" card, 4° you were playing easy mode anyways, the mere fact she ended up staying that night shows she already had (unrealistic levels of) interest in you in the first place. Now get out and leave me alone with the kumquat tree, things are about to get serious

obsessed with the fish answer being wrong/not what women want because let me tell you that was the most tolerable he was for the entire video, i was getting genuinely invested in his fake fish. maybe it's cause i'm autistic and love hearing people infodump about their passions lmao, if someone started going off about their fish like that in a club i would be so delighted. like yes king tell me all of your fish's names. but no, it's the wrong answer cause hrrr drrr women shallow and don't wanna hear about man's hobbies!
I can't get over that this guy looks EXACTLY like someone I used to know in college, but they were like a huge trans liberation advocate and hyper woke. This is like the nightmare version of them!
he talks about women like how they are in old 80s-90s cartoons...only ever talk about shopping, fashion and boys, can't possibly do anything smart, hate all forms of geek/gamer hobbies, it's wild, it's like he's never spoken to a girl in his entire life yet he must have considering he's married
this whole video game is made through the male gaze, the closup at a woman's legs while walking, the random underwear models, im 5 minutes in and im already creeped out
in my first job after college, i had a co-worker who was a self-proclaimed pick up artist and he took it upon himself to teach "the game" to one of the interns. it was.. a really weird experience and this video reminded me of that. ps: i'm a new subscription! 💕
I can't wait to see the journey of this channel reaching at least 1M. Tara is the first RUclipsr in a long time that reminded me what being excited about watching a quality video feels like!
Idk if it's just bc of his acting, but even beyond his words he seemed really off Like his tone sometimes sounded more like he was talking to a child or even an animal rather than adult women What I like the most when a guy talks to me is when they sound relaxed and chill and friendly, not like they're trying to soothe me or something. It comes across as weird and off-putting Having a normal-sounding voice is actually a really nice quality Like there are people with really nice-sounding speaking voices, and it's generally not people who sound like they're actively trying to calm a trapped animal or a lost child
Imagine he stands up and leaves and the girls just go "that was weird, where were we?" and continue their conversation about some complicated philosophical concept applied to the world of business.
The truly charming men that do exist would never cold-approach a strange woman to flirt, even in the best-case scenario that is a questionable way to act.
Girl speak for yourself. Then how're you supposed to get to know people? Damn, I'm mexican and we latinos have serious trust issues but girl what's wrong with someone approaching you, specially if it's in a nice way. It has happened to me several times and it's cool
the secretary scenario was just so awful, and he even tells her to keep it a secret.... ew. it's also fascinating how he always adds stuff to the answers in the video that are way worse than what was in the box you ticked.

And we should not treat non-human animals like deities either; there's a whole spectrum of sane attitudes between subjugation and worship. Worship is putting something on a pedestal, it's not respect.
@@EidolonSpecus Sorry I think I have judged you too fast. I thought you were making a disparraging comment about women not being human.
That's why my earlier answer is over the top.
My bad 😅
He has about the charm and personality of a lukewarm parboiled piece of cauliflower.
Watching this, I had concluded that the reason he needed to resort to psychological manipulation tactics was because he is, in fact, the most boring man on Earth. Even in the correct options he just drones on and on about nothing (or himself). I couldn't even imagine trying to hold a conversation with this man 😑.
PUA teachers aren't known for having natural social skills. It would make their narratives pretty counterintuitive for somebody more awkward than them, which is their intended target audience.
That's insulting to the cauliflower
to be fair cauli at least does a body good. this bloke is more like sidewalk gum
And that’s the real issue isn’t it. His affect is so flat. The hair could use A LOT of work, but he dresses nicely and has decent features; if he had a little charisma he’d do a better job of selling these lines. But the women he hired to be in these scenes with can’t even pretend to be engaged by him.
"Bring her a tree"
This is always the right option. Just give me a whole effin' tree and leave!
Give the tree and...leaf, perhaps? I'll see myself out.
@@fierytopaz I feel stupid for not coming up with this myself, honestly
Honestly the only non problematic thing that came out of the game
🤣 .... 🌳
yeah I would like the tree
The scene where he tickles her and says "I'm gonna kiss you" is the single creepiest thing I had ever witnessed not in text form.
i would be so scared in that situation im not even kidding
If nothing else, when faced with a difficult situation I will now always start by asking myself "Can this be solved by gifting someone a small kumquat tree?"
Truly useful stuff.
I like how sometimes, an answer seems like it’d be a light joke, and then it’s completely straight-faced comic book perv behavior and Richard just sits there alone and shames you. Other times, the answer is full on obvious manipulation which you expect to be wrong but pick just to see it, and cheerful Richard sits there patting you on the back with half-naked ladies. It’s so hard to figure out what’s meant to be funny or not
To be fair, the games did make me laugh a fair few times, just probably at the wrong times
Your comment just awakened my buried high school memories of playing Cooties Bar games on Newgrounds, where the gross or immoral answers are the right ones, and being a goody-two-shoes gives you the bad endings.
“Do you live around here…do you spend a lot of time in this area…” ok, serial killer. I would be terrified.
I would already be scrolling real estate listings in another city in my head lmao.
Oh I've had that one before and when I told them no they were like well. What are you doing here then?
Living. I'm enjoying the nice weather and shopping in this place that I'm not a local to.
The sad thing is, I feel like every woman has had an uncomfortable conversation like this sprung on her at least once
At least we know the breeders probably have. We the celibate know instinctively to avoid any possibility of cringe or rejection.

Finally, a game that will teach men how to be creeps! There weren't enough creepy dudes in the world!
Oh, ever heard of galges? DON'T GOOGLE THEM.
But it's a whole game genre with hundreds if not thousands of titles in which the player gets to date several girls, very much like we've seen here.
The goal is "entertainment" as the target audience has given up on "3D pig disgusting" women as it is and is quite content indulging in fantasies about 2D girls.
At least that's how it works in Japan where galges come from, at least for the most part. But Western fans do like to take the "tactics" learned therein.
One of the very worst things about this kind of game is that, like all games, there is always a way of getting it right if you try hard enough.
In other words, your waifu to be may reject you ten times but once you read the flags and tick the right options, she- being a 2D, fictional creation with no autonomy by definition- will forget all those times and accept you.
I suspect this is one of the reasons why you see so many neckbeards refusing to flat-out take rejection, no matter how sternly stated it is- or how often.
This mentality is, I'm sure, common in non-galge circles but to give an example, that I have encountered in anime in which being great at galges is what makes the hero, well, the hero (!): Game Scenario has Bookish Girl. So you go about finding out what books she reads, read them yourself, and then impress her with your knowledge. This is not about having a common interest. You don't care about books, or, if you do, not those ones. You did not come to love her books via this process.
No, you read the books she reads because you can then woe her into liking you.
In real life, if a guy meets a girl who likes to read- I'm such a person- he will try to worm himself into her affections by affecting a taste in books. When this fails, he will then be STUNNED because he did all he was supposed to do.
It's the idea of "action equals reward" that is at the root of the problem.
Sorry for the TED talk but it is truly depressing how this game is but a drop in the ocean of games along these lines. There is a whole GENRE of them.
@@Nocturnalux ngl, I low-key want to Google it now. 😂
but jokes aside, that sounds messed up. And I get what you're saying too. I've noticed there are LOTS of games like that.
@@miss_chelles1338 Oh yeah, there are.
There was a galge that was even banned, which hardly ever happens. The reason was...the player got to interact, flirt, date and eventually have sex with girls who were disabled. So the key to "getting" them factored on appearing sympathetic and then exploiting their disability...it was so awful, that it got banned, in a country not known for banning such content.
@@Nocturnalux In early uni we were addicted to galges/eroge, and would play as many as we could get our hands on (usually catching viruses in the process)! We would sit down and go through the different routes trying to 100% complete them. Pretty often we ran into some twisted, dark, and all-around fucked up ones, and especially ones with sociopathic protagonists (looking at you, "Gibo~Stepmother's Sin~"; the first and LAST time we took an eroge recommendation from an online forum).
In any case, never heard of a game like the one you described. That's uber fucked up!
@@pyromaniacforhire As I mentioned, it got banned almost as soon as it was released. I expect you can still find it- if you dig hard enough- but I cannot even recall the title.
All I remember is that one of the girls was a fire victim and a lot of her body had been burnt…yeah. I think there was also a blind girl but not entirely sure.
Tara: He's really good at acting creepy, isn't he?

"no just lay there"
There are people out there that take his advice seriously. Ew.
Why would they? Are they dumb?
@@Name-tn1zg I would guess it's the misogynistic radicalization a lot of lonely boys and young men encounter when they look for advice (like any lonely young person would do). Men are kind of garbage at mentoring each other in communication and boundaries, and the culture at large encourages them to treat women as ranked prizes with empty heads and not as people they can connect with, so you get profiteering stuff like this, where you turn an infinitely complex part of the human experience into a game with discrete achievements.
@@Name-tn1zg yes
This made me exponentially unconformable, wtf. How could he produce a whole ass game and go like "yep, that's good".
This feels like those awkward corporate cybersecurity trainings they make me do every year
Oh my gosh yes 😆😆😆
If a dude tells me "women study Instagram here", I will tell them that's sexist and we would inevitably end up arguing about feminism. It has happened before. It's like I'm being hostile and radical for not appreciating have sexist stereotypes thrown at me out of nowhere.
Sadly those people are looking to get yelled at. They're like middle school bullies who have only grown physically but stayed at the same mental age.
The worst part about jokes like these is that the underlying sexism ruins the joke.
Like, it’s an unfunny joke on its face - like there’s seriously zero wit required in it - but the fact that he unironically believes “haha women use Instagram because they’re vane,” it reveals that he isn’t trying to be endearing, just someone pretending to have charm.
Honestly I'd just walk the other way. I wouldn't even start an argument, especially considering that I hate starting arguments. 😂
And then they'd spin it as "oh all these modern women do is talk about feminism" when is a rebuttal to their terrible talking points that prompts it
Ngl out of everything in this awful game, the one thing I know for a fact would work on me is giving me a baby tree, maybe not kumquat, maybe like, a weeping willow or a pine, I'd love that I'd give them a promise ring on the spot
Yes, I was looking for this comment! I'd love another lil tree to take care of. 10/10 present
For me it'd be the fish infodump. I really wanna meet those darn fish!
Saaaaaame! 💖 💖 💖
Followed by long discussions of trying to find a plant I could raise with my north facing window 😭😭😭
I mean, I think the kumquat tree would fully work on me
NGL if someone bought me a Kumquat tree I'd definitely be mildly seduced. Because I definitely need more plants in my tiny apartment and I don't have a problem ok?
That was the only okay thing about the entire two games 😆😆😆
Yes, the tree was beautiful!
Hahaa saaaame xd
I love how he says "yeah, I like this one" and then pretends that champaign is the "better option"
Dude. It's *champaign*. 1° there is alcohol in it, I don't drink alcohol 2° it's bull of tasteless bubbles, 3°wait at least a few days before playing the "it's time to CELEBRATE your new life" card, 4° you were playing easy mode anyways, the mere fact she ended up staying that night shows she already had (unrealistic levels of) interest in you in the first place.
Now get out and leave me alone with the kumquat tree, things are about to get serious
Straight dude here, but if anybody just whipped out a baby kumquat tree, I'd be charmed enough to see where this was going.
If I overthought this much about every interaction I think I’d go insane
i overthink this much about every interaction and i can confirm im going insane
Clearly this guy is, in a loose definition, insane. It feels like some form of mental illness to be this way.
A guy called me a cow the other day online. Now I see it as a badge of honor
This is like the LSAT. None of the options are great, and logic and reason don't dictate the correct answer.
You just have to tune into the right wavelength and FEEL the vibes being transmitted into your higher consciousness by the universe. Wiggle around in place until you're on the right wavelength.
@@Soleilune1995 Telepathically channel a pick up artist, ask for divine intervention, and then go take a shower because ew
I feel unbelievably bad for the women sitting next to him when he explains the reasons behind response options
Like i can just hear them screaming inside
The models he is literally paying to be there look like they don’t want to be there 😭💀
The utter lack of any warmth even in the "successful" interactions really emphasizes how alienating the PUA mindset is.
Bad production with a sexist pig and there just to be pretty and give credence to a pick up artist? Everyone would be pissed to be there...
Even the least creepy options are still super creepy 😰
I literally would run screaming from most pick up artists on the internet, suspecting they were a serial killer.
Okay but i sincerely hope that he paid the girls on his bed enough for them to not be that traumatised by having to lie sexily next to him for hours, listening to terrible advice

He made TWO Finding Nemo references in the first game and I'm curious if it's actually HIS favorite movie...
I mean, it is a great film. I just don’t know why that’s apparently a stereotypically feminine film to watch (it’s one of my favorite Pixar movies, and I’m a guy). Oh, right, because Richard is sexist, and so everything that’s not stereotypically masculine is automatically for women to him. My bad 😂
@Overseer2579 it's funny because it's a film aimed at children.
To secretary: 'We don't need to tell anyone about it. It's just between us.'
Red Flags Intensifying...

Is it just me, or does it seem like these girls are his sisters/cousins and he’s totally helping them get modelling/acting careers?
That’s probably why they look so disappointed, and uncomfortable - “we’ve been making these videos for months; when will we get a contract?”
Edit: one’s his Wife! Amazing!
I feel like I just took all the blackpills.
He’s married? Yikes. But I guess if she’s willing to be a part of this there really is someone for everyone 🤷🏻♀️
It was definitely excessive to have all those extras in there. I'm sure his wife was also like, "Do I really need to be here and say this crap?"
Where is his wife? When did she show up?
@@a.n_1249 - Tara mentions it in the video itself, but I think it's the woman at 21:45.

The idea of the game would actually be super helpful for people who struggle with socialization. This particular game is just... Weird.
I like that. With a wrong answer, there could be an explanation like, "normally, people would have xyz reaction because it can be interpreted as abc"
The game cover art looks like someone tried to draw him after meeting him one time about two months ago, getting insanely pants drunk, and drawing him from memory.
I would choose "pretend to be blind" in a panic every time. You are so strategic!
"I think he's meant to be joking, but he does this very convincingly."
I'm pretty sure it was real.
I feel like this guy should have been cast as the lead in "You." Then nobody would be fangirling over a serial killer.
As a french viewer of your channel i must say that some french youtubers did let's plays on this game and thought it was just a game to make people laugh, i think no one knew that this guy wanted to give serious advices and that he was a pick up artist because evryone made the stupid choices to see the absurd situations and no one was listenig on the advives and serious parts

In all seriousness this game is riddled with terrible advice. I really hope no clueless guys followed it…
obsessed with the fish answer being wrong/not what women want because let me tell you that was the most tolerable he was for the entire video, i was getting genuinely invested in his fake fish. maybe it's cause i'm autistic and love hearing people infodump about their passions lmao, if someone started going off about their fish like that in a club i would be so delighted. like yes king tell me all of your fish's names. but no, it's the wrong answer cause hrrr drrr women shallow and don't wanna hear about man's hobbies!
Honestly, I think the ladies did a great acting job this is exactly how I act when some creep chats me up.

Exactly!! Bless yt recommendations for introducing me to her channel
Yes, I fully agree! I adore her content.
Idk if it's just bc of his acting, but even beyond his words he seemed really off
Like his tone sometimes sounded more like he was talking to a child or even an animal rather than adult women
What I like the most when a guy talks to me is when they sound relaxed and chill and friendly, not like they're trying to soothe me or something. It comes across as weird and off-putting
Having a normal-sounding voice is actually a really nice quality
Like there are people with really nice-sounding speaking voices, and it's generally not people who sound like they're actively trying to calm a trapped animal or a lost child
I mean, if anyone was saying those things to me, I'd very much feel like a trapped animal
He’s too used to women being afraid of him to talk to them normally
Oh don't mind him, that's his 'just lie back and think of England' voice
To be fair, I think it's his acting. He speaks in a weird tone even when just talking to the camera. Still a creep though lol
@@tintomara6209 hopefully no one has to go through that.
This game is genuinely one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever had the misfortune of witnessing
Imagine he stands up and leaves and the girls just go "that was weird, where were we?" and continue their conversation about some complicated philosophical concept applied to the world of business.
Men: stop approaching women in public. We don’t want to talk to you. No matter how charming you think you are, you’re not.
The truly charming men that do exist would never cold-approach a strange woman to flirt, even in the best-case scenario that is a questionable way to act.
Girl speak for yourself. Then how're you supposed to get to know people? Damn, I'm mexican and we latinos have serious trust issues but girl what's wrong with someone approaching you, specially if it's in a nice way. It has happened to me several times and it's cool
