Documented misconduct (proven, not alleged)
RSD instructor Julien Blanc was banned from Australia (visa revoked 2014) and refused entry to the UK, Singapore and Brazil after seminar footage showed him advocating grabbing women by the throat and forcing heads toward his crotch; his comments about Asian women were widely condemned as racist.

Who's behind Real Social Dynamics?
A network of instructors (Julien Blanc, Owen Cook/"Tyler", and others). Largely wound down/rebranded after the 2014 controversy.
Instructor network (legacy).
The verdict
The cautionary anchor for the whole category. RSD's bootcamps cost thousands; its most infamous instructor was banned from multiple countries in 2014 after seminar footage showed him advocating physical coercion of women. This is documented — and it is why a "dating coach" with no accountability layer deserves scrutiny.
