Disclaimer: I am not a dating coach nor am I selling any dating products or services this blog is really for recreational usage to reflect on my previous experiences in daygame and to share my insight. For those wondering I am based in London so for those who want to network in the future please email: jeremysergent361@gmail.com thanks – Article Written by Jeremy Sergent
Nick Krauser :
The dating coach from Newcastle- United Kingdom Nick Krauser has been a prominent daygamer he’s published numerous books roughly around 5 (maybe incorrect) has spoken at the 21 convention and was one of the pioneers in the London daygame model. He has since transitioned to be gaming for a “wife material” woman citing in a 2018 interview with Rollo Tomassi that he wanted to have children and a legacy. Nick was a close associate of Tom Torero when the two had a feud over plagiarised material and alleged dodgy payed actor kiss closed infield which ended up in them no longer speaking to one another – the feud continued till Tom’s suicide in late 2021. Nick lead the mourning for Tom however arranging his memorial for Tom in early 2022.
Nick was mentioned in the Rational Male’s book “ The Player’s Handbook” as one of the best daygame coaches out there – Nick has had a close relationship with Rollo being one of the only “puas” that Rollo has interviewed on his channel – Nick has had feuds with John Anthony in the past with allegations of exaggerated lay reports with Nick claiming that John Anthony’s lack statistical truth https://krauserpua.com/2018/09/10/jmulv-is-a-fraud-obviously/
Nick Krauser has also lashed out against “The Natural Lifestyles” in his blogs and in his speeches calling their game shit and giving a negative review of James Marshall ” The Marshall Meditation” product.
John hit back claiming Nick is a massive racist and has a “low laycount” . Nick’s appeal as an average Joe from Newcastle and someone who started daygame relatively late at aged 34 after a divorce with a Japanese wife of 8 years shows that even those past their prime can still resurrect and have a fantastic dating career. Nick emphasises heavily on the importance of SMV and that game will only get you a few points above your current smv – the two need to be done in conjunction to each other and not independently
As of time of writing Nick is currently resuming coaching – you can find him here at :
He is also in a LTR and currently spends his free time studying languages and is currently working on his final memoire .

Verdict : He had a huge impact- even to this day I believe his 21 convention speech and numerous London sarge speeches are some of the best a beginner can watch . His books are decent too and well worth a read for those looking to take daygame more seriously. He is currently in a LTR and still coaching so he seems to be having some success at the time of writing
Roosh V
Another seemingly competent day gamer turned religious vodo guy- you can’t underestimate the impact Roosh V had on the daygame world – forums still exist in his name and are still active to this day. In terms of active legacy there’s few that can match Roosh V. Although things took a turn for the worst when he turned into a strict religious vodo Christian after his sister’s death. An example along with Sasha Daygame of dating coaches turning their back on dating and instead heading down a spiritual path . Using religion perhaps as a coping mechanism for life’s challenges . I think he deserved more praise then he actually got – often used as an example of “Doing too much game’ which I disagree- as game made this guy famous if it wasn’t for game we wouldn’t know who he is .He did a clearly did a good job but his sister’s death took it’s toll on him and I blame that rather than pickup for his reasonings on giving up on the dating scene. Seemingly attacked by British media for his right wing tradiotionalist anti- feminist views (i’d argue unfairly) again another example of British and American media going all out to destabilise anyone who tries to make dating content with a petition in Scotland even calling for him to be banned from entering the country. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-35474206
Verdict: His forums are still active- to this day which is rare in pickup as the majority of dating Facebook communities, forums, telegram groups are now dead. He clearly had a major influence on the men’s dating world even today – when other forums like Pua-Forum, Simple Pickup died the people who were inspired by Roosh V have continued his legacy nonetheless. He’s a success in my eyes – maybe he doesn’t care anymore but I can’t lament him for what he achieved in the past .

Game Global
A pickup Telegram Group that originated in London and was victim of a mass media cancel culture brigade – despite the owner Alex Ice white seemingly doing not much wrong himself. With the group having only 5k YouTube subscribers at the time of the attack: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9729855/British-childrens-author-Game-Global-social-network-pick-artists.html now at time of writing 15k it shows how the media even comes ever after small fish – compared to Torero’s 80k or Simple Pickup’s near one million at the time of their respective media crusade attacks or Johnny Berba’s 35k at the time of his shadow banning 5k was a poultry in comparison but the British media are seemingly out for blood now and will attack anyone with even the smallest of influences.
This unfair media crusade showed that even being even a small time dating coach can leave you in a vulnerable position , dating coaches are easy pickings for a media that seems content on click bait titles and half truths. They got unfairly done In – and it’s interesting to see if any of the members will have their careers f’ed up in the future as a result of what happened – ( having their real names leaked to the media virally surely will be a blow to them long term if any of them chose to leave the pickup place) . The group said to be encouraging rape culture- but Alex Ice white himself has 0 daygame lays so I don’t know how you can consider someone who clearly has no game as a sex pest or rapist . The alleged accusations of the daily mail article held only a few quotes from people posting in the group especially with Ice himself having slept with so few women and done so little in terms of cold approach it’s hard to see how he’s guilty . So again it’s very difficult to ascertain the validity of any of it – anyway game global got burnt in articles written across 4 different UK newspapers . Controlling 100s of telegram groups it’s hard to moderate what people say on there and even if people don’t say bad shit the media will most likely reframe things to make those who speak a lot worse than they actually are. Especially in a PUA context .
Alex Ice White got into a conflict with John Anthony afterwards in which Ice got humiliated and outed for having done 0 cold approaches despite him selling dating courses by John – a pretty big blow for someone who seems an obvious fraud once the information leaked out . Alex Ice White and John Anthony originally had a good relationship with Ice seemingly sucking up to him by leaking RSD “truth bombs” on a live. Ice White’s game global emailed John Anthony asking for an interview with John himself showing the evidence – John declined – After Ice white asked his coaching panel about John Anthony and made a video judging him John then threatened Ice with a law suit.
John also attacked Ice White for allegedly taking photos with women who he wasn’t dating and posting them in his game global website and Message Game – whilst this is nothing new in the pua space with numerous other gurus doing something similar – take for example Michael Sartain who organises photo bombing events for his clients , Tom Torero who did fake kisses closes and Rsd Max who hired broke Ukrainian women to be in his vlogging videos to make himself look like much more of a player than he actually was .
Ice White hit back attacking John’s YouTube viewerships and calling it allegedly fake. Ice white proceeded to slander John posting a huge array of evidence on his game global blog and YouTube then he spammed the links over reddit feminist reddit forums and pua discussion groups referring to John Anthony’s previous court cases and dodgy YouTube viewership stats in an attempt to damage his image.
John hit back with a lawsuit threat and Ice pussied out and retracted the blog- John made two exposes videos on Ice one which was removed due a privacy complaint the other has stayed up in certain locations on YouTube (despite Ice claiming both had been taken down they still can be viewed outside of the UK) – the YouTube videos pointed to Alex Ice White’s apparent plagiarism of RSDMax’s text game book – with allegedly similar lines being used in Alex Ice White’s the message game , John then attacked Alex Ice white’s poor dress and 0 daygame lays pretty much humiliating the guy and also caused his wife “greta from the gremlins” and referred to the fact that Alex Ice white hadn’t had sex with attractive women – Ice white continues to attack John to this day in numerous videos referring to him as a troll and a hamster- John continues to also mock Ice White’s 0 daygame lays and lack of experience to this day even in his lifestreams.
In fairness Alex Ice White has made a decent comeback though – he reached 15k subs on the game global channel despite being targeted by mainstream media – which in todays era of PUA tomfoolery is a pretty decent achievement as most men’s dating channels either face some inherit issues of shadow banning and diminished revenues see- 21 Convention, Johnny Berba , John Anthony, Tom Torero’s YouTube channels all examples of channels that faced restrictions on YouTube either on the diminishment of monetary ad revenue or out and out deletion of certain pua related content. He also organised the live stream debate of Ross Jefferies and Mystery – the stream reached 55k views as far as I am aware that was the largest viewed live “pua” stream of 2024 men’s dating content far surpassing even 21 convention videos and Rollo Tomassi streams (in 2024 only mind you) Had these streams been made 10 years ago he’d probably be sitting on larger viewership.
Ice white also has been in conflict with James Tusk- calling out James for charging for a wingman group – despite Ice White’s 0 daygame lays he still seemingly finds grounds to attack other daygamers which I found odd as why bother when you yourself are so inexperienced? James Tusk seemingly ignored this trolling .
Verdict – Considering Game Global got unfairly hung out to dry for the media it could be seen as failure in terms of the negative media attention . I mean even the small groups and communities can’t catch a break no doubt those involved will have their careers affected long after they leave “the game” I don’t know what they were thinking having so many groups with the media circus that surrounds PUA both Game Global and Tom Torero should’ve been more discreet . Nevertheless their content continues to get views and their subscribers have climbed since -surpassing 15k at the time of this blog – despite the media resentment they have recovered somewhat. They also (as mentioned before) managed to have one of the debates of 2024 between Mysery and Ross Jeffries. I hope their YouTube monetary success overrides their unfair humiliation they refused in the British media – with the majority of pickup channels like Alex from playing with fire, 21 convention and John Anthony’s having their videos demonetised

James Tusk :
English though born and raised originally in Hong Kong and was mentored by Tom Torero James Tusk was an example of a good looking guy who was humble enough to take the plunge into doing daygame think of him as the polar opposite of Yad . Admired for his honesty and hard work as well as his adventurous attitude doing daygame in a variety of nations from Serbia to Venezuela- Mexico to Brazil . James Tusk was mentioned in addition to Nick Krauser as one of the best coaches to learn daygame from in Rollo Tomassi’s The Rational Male- The Player’s Handbook book – James Tusk has similarly praised Rollo and called The Rational Male one of the most essential book for beginner day gamers to read.
Often times criticised as being a passport bro he’s humble enough to release infields of getting blow outs in difficult dating environments in London showing that even the best looking need to deal with blow ups. James Tusk also made it in the media: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8025267/Have-daygamed-Dating-trend-sees-men-stop-hit-women-street-broad-daylight.html albeit not as aggressive of a media ridicule that Alex ice white , Tom Torrero of Roosh v but still a bit unfair imo.
His coaching has – at times been the subject of scrutiny – with one infield of him telling a 19 year old autistic student called Andre wearing a reebok backpack to approach a Belgian model – the Autistic student then asks in a serious tonne to the woman “is Belgium in Europe” in all honesty someone with that lack of life experience , knowledge and retardations should probably be doing other things first instead of game- from this infield which is now deleted his seeming inability as a coach to differentiate between obviously severely autistic clients is just a shame really and an example of a coach not really reading the weaknesses of their students. For someone so long in the game he should probably know better.
Tusk has had his conflicts too both with Alex Ice White and John Anthony – with Alex Ice White accusing Tusk of overcharging clients for wingmen groups- Tusk didn’t respond to this despite “0 daygame lay” Alex Ice White publicly attacking him twice a brave act for someone with 0 daygame lays but whatever — John Anthony then critiqued Tusk’s infield even though both of them seem to have a similar ratio of blow outs, James Tusk then challenged Anthony to a daygame competition on his YouTube comments which John Anthony didn’t respond to .
Tusk also had some quite bizarre stories one in which he was daygaming in Thailand and bought back a girl to his crib who turned out to have a cock – such a story would definitely traumatise me if it happened- and really does a guy as good looking as Tusk really need gutter ball Thai trannies or impoverished Venezuelans the whole predicament seemed pretty strange to me . For someone with decent status and looks to go to Venezuela , Mexico ,Thailand seems a bit overkill but each to his own- maybe Latin America is the best opportunity for his clients to get laid which is fair enough – I know The Natural Lifestyles spent a long time in Eastern Europe and Tom Torero and Krauser spent long periods gaming in Eastern Europe I m sure there respective
Verdict : Despite being good looking and an obvious ladies man its clear he does lack some degree of common sense when it comes to coaching clients- I still see him as a successful pickup artist with no ego but not so much a good coach in my eyes at least (for those who care and most probably don’t give a shit ).

Andrew the Private Man:
Dating Blogger Andrew the Private man rose to prominence blogging around 2010 he was the first dating coach of the 21 convention to actually die in fact I recall he died the same year of his speech from eye cancer. Still his speech was well received and his blog is still up today. I personally enjoyed it though disagreed that online was the best way to meet women – I have to say for it’s easily daygame for me personally.
Verdict: A strong personality and well received speech – Andrew will be missed. Although he didn’t really offer much advice in terms of daygame he still had some good early “red pill” insights.
Anthony Dream Johnson:
Anthony Dream Johnson has had an undoubted massive impact on the manosphere- if you’re part of the PUA space then most likely you’ve most likely watched a 21 convention speech at some point in time. Originally started in 2009 as the “under 21 convention” whilst Anthony was studying business at university – he made the local student newspaper as the only one of his business course to actually start a business- since then he’s had over 500k subs for the 21 convention and hosted it in numerous countries from Australia, Sweden , Germany, UK, USA and Poland (and others I’ve probably forgotten ) 21 convention speeches were always used as the bread and butter to inspire day gamers I winged with – most notably James Marshall, Liam Mcrae, Dj Fuji , Tom Torero and Nick Krauser but there were others too.
For men’s seduction I see nothing having a bigger impact than that of the 21 convention speeches- the speeches alone which set careers and companies alight- most notably James Marshall’s whose The Natural Lifestyles company flourished after his opening keynote address speech in Australia went viral as well as his speech in London. Richard La Ruina was the first person to amass over 500k views which also contributed to a lot of his coaching success in the 2010s . This set the precedent for the company hitting 7 figures- one of the watchers of the speeches – Alex Leon then was inspired to work for James from watching his 21 convention contributions alone. He now since been made James Marshall’s main executive coach of the natural lifestyles.
Johnson has received some criticism of speakers most notably for having John Anthony as a speaker who’s speech remains the highest YouTube “Disliked” speech of the 21 convention to date . The speech drew criticism from viewers claiming that John Anthony’s spreads lies regading his lay count and that counting trans gender lays as part of his “lay count” was disingenuous once Johnson found out about this he released videos mocking John Anthony for his tranny lays John Anthony then issued Johnson with legal threats which Johnson ignored. John Anthony then mocked Johnson for marrying a prostitute and stated that the 21 convention had more speakers than attendees.
Johnson has had feuds with a lot of the past speakers most notably AJA Cortes, Arthur Kwon Lee, Jeff Younger , Adam Lyons, Rollo Tomassi , Richard Cooper and of course John Anthony .With all these conflicts its unknown whether the convention will return next year but with all the disputes in the manosphere its hard to see if it will ever be like the “good old days” of 2010-2017 .
Anthony is married now with a daughter – so unlike most pua coaches he has a family now and is progressing in life- he suffered great setbacks including the death of his father and losing a best friend at aged 21 due to bone cancer- his resilience is definitely admirable and if it wasn’t for him Im sure a good percentage of the speakers at the conventions wouldn’t have sustained their careers for so long. He a still active today even recently collaborating with my favourite dating coach James Marshall.
Verdict: Huge influence , millions of views for top men’s content what’s not to like? He might not be everyone’s cup of tea but he definitely brought the community together and created immense value for all men’s dating self development enthusiasts. You can’t think of anyone in the dating space that has given so much stage time to so many dating coaches. Without him you wonder how many of these coaches would’ve faired on their own. I don’t think the likes of James Marshall, Dj Fuji, Richard Cooper et.al would have the following without Johnson’s help. Even despite marrying and divorcing a prostitute Johnson has shown extreme resilience to come back from this and marry again. Perhaps critics could argue that he was wrong to post so many political viewpoints on his youtube channel and maybe he didn’t do proper enough due diligence on some speakers like John Anthony. But overall there are definitely more pluses than minuses with him .
