I don't know if this affects any of the discussion of the video or not, but I definitely got the feeling that it was deliberately staged with (amateur) actors and actresses performing for the camera.
He was traveling all over Asia with his GoPro, either on his head, a selfie stick, or something else. Quickly into the iteraction he would show it and mention how he's traveling and making a video with it. It is not, as far as I understand, staged. This is how he filmed everything he did.
My 'game' is to be confident and slightly assertive, and not consider picking up women to be a zero-sum game. If a girl is with a guy, I might check her out, but I show a little consideration. There's plenty of other women out there. I don't have to be sleazy just because it might be a fun game to 'win' a woman by essentially humiliating the guy she's with.
It occurs to me that you might not be familiar or have had recent experience in clubs. This sort of behavior is rampant and normal in clubs..
Lets review the facts of what we know:
At the beginning of the interaction, we have two guys sitting on either side of a girl. They are both holding hands with her. She "belongs" to neither, nor did she come with either (clearly). Over time, the white guy sticks in, talks to her, and pulls her away while the Chinese guy doesn't really do much to move her or re-assert himself. It is clear that the Chinese guy did NOT come to the club WITH the other girl, or if he did, she is not committed to him.
For some reason - probably because of the title and how it was made into a race issue of white man vs Asian man (already a sensitive subject) - everyone took it and ran with it when actually it is THE GIRL DECIDING THE WHOLE TIME. In reality, this is a situation where one guy was just more assertive and stuck in there and had tighter game than the other guy, and the other guy was just kinda pushed out of the set.
this part of PUA is frowned upon by a lot of people.
I thought we had already gotten over this "
PUA teaches X" myth.
This happens ALL THE TIME in clubs, and has nothing to do with whether or not someone has "studied PUA" or not. In general, in clubs, guys always come into other guys' interactions, and often, if you're not paying attention and don't have your wits about you, the girl WILL shift over to the other guy, especially if his game is tight. Again - because you don't own her. If the woman somewhat attracted to both guys or doesn't have her mind made up, she will just let it play out and see which guy "wins". If your frame is weaker and you're not willing to shoulder out the other guy, yeah you will lose the chick. It's your choice. You can take the moral high ground and go home alone, confident in the knowledge that you 'didn't resort to such cowardly tactics', or acknowledge the dude, direct him away, and move the girl with you to another part of the bar, and get the girl. Since the 'morality' only matters in your mind, go for the girl. If it's a legitimate couple and they came to the club together, don't be a douchebag, leave them alone. This is not the case in this video.. or, if it is, the dude had already lost the girl before he stepped into the club.
The Chinese guy in the video could have EASILY stood up and moved the girl if he was a little more assertive and proactive, and pulled her away from the white dude. But he didn't, ended up looking weak and passive, and his chick lost interest and went with the white dude. All's fair in my eyes!
Remember once again -
the girl decided who to go with.
