OGFurious is Back

I have mentioned "OGFurious" and his hilarious take on the seduction community a couple of times on my blog (such as here, and here). But recently, a reader of my blog (Thanks, M.!) has made me aware of the fact that the creator of the OGFurious persona, Dean Leysen, has returned with a more serious message.

In his YouTube channel he is addressing a view common criticisms, and he also adds some pretty good explanations, too, like in the following video, where he explains what mirror neurons are and why overanalyzing what the other person's reaction towards your behavior might be will only bite you in the a**:

The Truth About Pick-Up

Recently blog reader "neparlepas" made me aware of two new videos by OGFurious, whom I have mentioned in my post Putting the Fun back into Pickup. The first one is just more comedy gold, but it'll not comment on it. Just watch it and laugh, or tell me that I'm childish if I find this stuff funny.

The second one strikes a much more serious tone and beautifully describes the problems with "technique-driven game". It's not news to anyone who has followed my blog or other writings, but it's a nice summary regardless:

Putting the Fun back into Pickup

Given the rather high comic value of the pickup community, I always wondered why there aren't many people openly mocking fun of it and parody it. Admittedly, PUAHate is sometimes great at displaying the nonsense of the scene, but as far as parodies are concerned, not much has been around.

There were some attempts such as the hilarious article "Fast Seduction 101 and wikiHow" on Something Awful, which, among other things ridiculed the bizarre acronyms in use on mASF, and cited from retarded to downright scary posts. (Too bad they didn't cover some of the sickening "rape reports" such Gruenfeld's Hottie Hardcore LMR day2, but such is not funny but tragic and I hope that karma has gotten this a**hole by now.)

The article on Something Awful appeared over three years ago, but it didn't seem to catch on. Back then idiocy was about as rampant as it is nowadays, and Mehow had yet to appear on the scene.

Back then I also wasn't aware that developing an "insider vocabulary" was part of the marketing techniques, and it is actually part of the content of the products of fraudulent Internet marketers. For instance, convicted felon Frank Kern (who cut his teeth in the Internet marketing business by running a pyramid scheme) draws plenty of examples from the seduction industry. But people watching those programs apparently take it too seriously since they have paid serious money for it, or, in case of the US, just took out some more loans.

I also remember a parody of Mystery and Style in which a dude in horrible make up who calls himself "Misery" is teaching some geeks a couple of concepts from Mystery Method. His assistant has the name "Stylus". This was when the Nintendo DS was on the height of its popularity. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the video on Youtube.

What I did find, though, was this hilarious "tribute" to my favorite Polish PUA, Mehow:



I haven't heard anything from Mehow in a while. Rumors were that he wasn't doing that great these days, financially speaking. Then again, has he ever?

But none of this reached the extent of a thorough parody, but recently once guy crossed this threshold. He calls himself OGFurious. At first I wasn't sure whether he really is serious, but thankfully he has this message at the end of his videos:

Here is one of my favourites:



Indeed, unlike the other PUA videos which are unintentionally funny (again, Mehow comes to mind), this is a guy who makes parodies on purpose, and it's not bad at all.

Keep smiling. :)
