Tyler Durden of Real Social Dynamics

Owen Cook (also known as “Tyler”, “Tyler Durden” or “TD”) (born in 1979 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) is an entrepreneur, author and dating advisor. He is the figurehead of Real Social Dynamics, a company that specializes in teaching men how to establish a sexual relationship with women.

Tyler Durden joined the seduction community in 2002, assuming the handle ‘Tyler Durden’ in homage to the fictional character from the novel Fight Club. He traveled to Los Angeles in order to develop his skills at picking up and seducing women, eventually moving into a closet and using it as his bedroom in order to live with Neil Strauss, Barry Kirkey and Mystery at their mansion in Project Hollywood.

He is mentioned by Neil Strauss in his book The Game. In his book, Strauss describes his experience mentoring Owen and fellow student “Papa” (Nicholas Kho) while watching as he developed his own distinct approach to gaming in parallel and apparent competition to Strauss’s own. The book also describes the establishment of Real Social Dynamics by Cook and Papa, a company dedicated to teaching men how to interact with women.

In August 2008, Owen announced on his company blog that he was “wrapping up with [his] role as figurehead of RSD and moving into self help.” At the same time, Owen has continued to teach weekly Real Social Dynamics bootcamps in Los Angeles.  His company (often abbreviated RSD) is known for using natural game to attract women.  They are also known for other free content sites such as RSD Nation.

Born in Ottawa Canada (1979) and majored in philosophy at Queens University. Tyler Durden now lives and works in Honolulu Hawaii.  His life consists of managing Real Social Dynamics, writing “The Blueprint”, running bootcamps, going to the gym, reading everything under the sun, and surfing twice a week.  Although moving towards a self-help aspect in RSD, Tyler Durden is known as one of the founding fathers of the seduction industry.
