The HR department is gonna have a field day with this one...

Rhumba: The art of seduction. Roomba: The art of the suction.

Plot twist: the man at the start was supposed to give a Ted talk but she seduced him off the stage

Positive non sexual seduction is just... charisma

Honestly, this girl is very gorgeous so I’m lead to believe people just hit on her all the time and she just thought “damn I must be good at flirting or something” and that’s her entire career origin lmao

This ted talk kinda gives off "I just visited a country for a week and now I am an expert in their culture" vibes

she really wrote "we need to start teaching seduction at a young age" and just did not see a problem

"I'm a dancer.." *proceeds to move as if she was a granny having a stroke*

She keeps saying "seduction" when what she means is manipulation, not to mention the fact that this whole thing is so dangerous. We shouldn't be telling people that "No means maybe" and "Women find persistence sexy" when this is straight-up encouraging sexual harassment or worse. Women don't find being badgered by men "sexy," it's annoying and scary, and what she's saying is the exact kind of shit that makes men feel entitled to reciprocation

That poor guy who helped her with the dance at the beginning. He looks so uncomfortable haha

“In Cuba, there is no advertising.” Scott’s advertising degree begins violently vibrating on the wall

She is like that girl who had one semester abroad and now pronounces “Barcelona” as “Bar-TH-elona”

She’s the type of person who reads Lolita and thinks it’s a romantic book about forbidden love

ted’s just letting anyone talk nowadays huh

alternate title: woman who looks like a younger version of my middle school principal thinks she knows everything ever about cuba and talks about how attractive sexual harassment/assault is for way too many minutes

Her real Ted Talk should be "How to talk for long periods of time without actually saying anything" because I have no idea what I was supposed to learn from that

Honestly I understand the value of TEDX talks, allowing for a more varied range of views, but if there’s some kind of review process this should not have passed it. Not only is she acting as a fraudulent expert on a culture she clearly has only a tourist understanding of, but she’s painting that culture as one of sexual harassment and one that specializes children and claiming this is something to strive for in our own lives. This was so disturbing. At least HOTAPE was funny.

As a latin american, the way she talks about Cuba as some distant land where everyone seduces everyone just... hurts

When I went to Cuba, there were no grinding pool kids and tons of advertising everywhere. There were overly flirtatious folks that always hit up tourists, though. They’re called jinetero/as. Basically, unofficial tour guides. The word “jinetero” translates to jockey (like horse jockey) while there meaning prostitute, but at the same tome doesn’t literally mean it in this sense. Well, it can, but doesn’t have to. They’ll come talk, flirt, offer to show you a good place for dinner or a nice club. They are genuine and can be a great way to see parts of Cuba you normally wouldn’t. However, they do it knowing you will pay them, buy food for them, and they will also be paid a percentage for bringing you to an establishment. I think this lady keeps going to Cuba thinking guys are trying to pecker her and she isn’t realizing she’s just an easy mark.

I feel like she assumes that she is super amazing at the art of seduction when she's just conventionally attractive enough that men are willing to overlook her being kind of a weirdo.

FR as a brazilian who is used to see our culture being fetishized , i was so unconfortable with this woman generalizing and exagerating aspects of cuban culture and talking about it like some animal planet shit

The amount of times this woman used the term “seduction” to describe children and their behavior made me SO uncomfortable.

Love the fact that she’s hypersexualizing Cubans and speaking of her trips to that country as if she were observing animals way to dehumanize an entire country, chica❤️

She never said how seduction is useful in day to day life. Which was the point of her thesis.

As a Latin American woman, these are the people that make my culture a fad, make my appearance a Halloween costume- not to mention a costume that is often found in the “Sexy” section, Perceptions like this strip me of dignity and the ability to have an identity separate from being a sexual fantasy. Cuba is full of people with stories and an entire range of personality like any other place in the world. To say an entire people is able to be observed like in a zoo, means you are not at all aware of the enormity and nuance in cultures that are not your own. It pains me to see this kind of thing have a platform.

She never says how it is a useful skill.

"Men keep seducing them even if said no multiple times" I don't think she even knows what seduction means in the first place. If they say no, you didn't seduce anyone, that's just harassing people.

“Cuba has been like a seduction laboratory for me.” Yeah... That’s called sex tourism lmao

Love how she said seduction isn’t always sexual but only described it being used in sexual contexts

I love that she’s basically implying that communism makes little kids grind on each other

Jaden’s hat is a perfect example of seduction in day to day life

This woman has extreme "went backpacking on summer break and tells everyone in her sorority she's an expert on world cultures now" snergy

Scott and Jaden's wholesomeness and Midwest charm is the only thing that makes this talk worth watching

Ted Talks: Here's how this fundamental part of our universe works Tedx Talks: Here's how to pick up a man

that lady came out there and just instantly started BREEDING with that man

She's acting like seduction only became associated with sexuality in the last few decades but it's been that way since about the 15th century where the Latin term "Seducere" was used to describe a person being lead to abandon their duty / position (usually with the promise of gratification for doing so), and the word "Seductress" has been around since the 1800s as a term for (usually) a woman being sexual towards (usually) a man in an attempt to sleep with them, it's not a new concept, she's preaching total crap

"I started my talk with a seductive dance because I want you to first feel the seduction to get you kind of gut level..." Eh, , all I felt was embarrassment as she rubs against a man who stands there stiffly and mostly seems to be wondering "I don't want to be here! Get off me!"

i can get behind the message of body empowerment and that being sexy isn’t a bad thing, but i feel like at a certain point this ted talk turns into a pick up artist thing instead

Encouraging dudes to pull the whole "yeah I mean she said 'no' but I could tell based on my gut intuition that her 'no' actually meant a 'maybe' or 'yes', because i'm such an experienced ladies man." and harassing women who deny your advances until you pressure them into saying yes seems so reckless and dangerous

Her seduction theory should come with a disclaimer: May end up in jail. Fired from your job. Registered offender list.

i feel like she owes a major apology to the cuban people as a whole

Her: "we need to start teaching seduction at a young age" Me: "Let me introduce you to some finer points of the law"

Something about “you need to practice seduction to be more successful in your life” feels really counter productive to what women have been working toward the last several decades. Yes, I got here for my sexiness, not my competence or skill. 🙄

I wouldn't mind this being an ongoing series forever. This is so entertaining. It's like actually watching these with friends and talking shit (criticizing) about it.

Scott: "thank god I'm not single. I'd be scared to go outside!" Me, who's single: yep this checks out

"The word seduction has been sexualized so many times" you can't just say "this word actually doesn't mean what everyone agrees it means" and act like that's a super deep insight.

Is... is she stereotyping/generalizing Cuban people? I’m genuinely asking cuz her saying that Cubans are like that makes me uncomfortable

She gives the vibe of someone who goes to a different country for spring break and comes back with an accent for months

She was so uncomfortable to watch, but Jaden doing the little nose touch was so adorable I just tuned her out and was like "this was so pure and good."

"I did get a Ted Talk, didn't I?" Is very telling, that even she knows she shouldn't be up there.

“Hello strugglers, welcome to bed 😘”

The fact that she tries to use Cuban culture to justify her position reminds me of the guys who defend lolicon by insisting it's just a Japanese culture thing

Jaden: " Ice cream. can I seduce you into buying me ice cream?" Scott: " I think that is an attainable goal." literally my bf and I. lmfao. you guys crack me up! 😂

Take a step back and imagine this TED talk with a guy as the presenter instead. It sounds absolutely creepy.

I don't think disregarding someone saying no and violating their boundaries is acceptable behavior in any culture?? It's not ok or cute to be like, well maybe no means maybe? Are you kidding?? Just because it may be prevalent in certain countries doesn't mean it's healthy!! And this woman really means persuasion/manipulation when she says "seduction"! Total nonsense tbh

Scott: “Thank go I’m not single, I wouldn’t dare go outside!” Me: “finally an accurate representation of my life single and inside”

So who's gonna tell her that beauty standards and ideal body types have existed for thousands of years before television and print advertising were even a thing?

Ok, wow, that line “she sounds like a Sith Lord” caught me off-guard because I was JUST thinking of the line “Vader was SEDUCED by the Dark Side of the Force” lol

you guys are single-handedly ruining my trust in ted talk videos and i love it

I'm normally not the hugest fan of people bringing their significant other on their channel, but Jaden is HILARIOUS

This really begs the question... who is Ted and why does he let these people talk on his behalf???

As a born and raised Cuban, I have no idea what this weirdos talking abt💀

The fact that some men will watch this TED talk of an attractive women claiming that women secretly find sexual harassment sexy is honestly terrifying to me. I don't know one woman who has ever said anything along these lines... yet most of my friends carry pepper spray and tasers in their bags disguised as lipsticks, etc. so you do the math.

"I did get a ted talk didn't I?" Literally anyone can put on a ted talk on just about anything. Sorry Lady who took a Disney cruise to Cuba and now wants to act like a cultural expert, you're not special.

I like Jaden's husband. he should start his own channel.

5:46 "Seduction is the same, it comes down to your DNA." *HOLD UP* Just a moment ago she said anyone can be seductive, yet now she says it comes down to your DNA? This woman just bamboozled herself!

the male equivalent of this ted talk is easily found in any "how to be an alpha male" & "how to be a pick up artist" tutorial on tiktok or youtube or whatever. same concept, male pov.

"they will seduce a woman over and over ... Even after she's said no a couple of times" Oh look, my nightmare.

I feel comfy in Scotts bed. I feel like I am welcome in his home.

Beans.

Hey scott, I'm just letting you know you're my favorite KZfaqr. You're so down to earth and your videos are never boring. You seem like such a good sport like a golden retriever. Keep it up my man

i love how scott can say whatever cause he’s just self aware that he’s not sure what he’s talking about

She didn't really teach me anything about mastering seduction 😂😂😂 I feel like she said a lot and nothing at the same time

"No means *YES* " No that means you don't respect boundaries Edit: ewww not her sexualizing children

The kind of "he kept persisting even after she said no multiple times" thing is so romanticised. When I was a teen I idealised that a little but as an adult who has experienced that.... It is extremely uncomfortable at the least, and can have very bad consequences when taken to extremes. It's weird, it isn't only young girls who are socialised to accept this, but guys are told that this is ok, even romantic (it shows your're willing to "fight" for your love!) and then get confused when women aren't ok with it. At least this is my limited experience. It is a confusing world.

I’m so lost trying to interpret what she’s saying 😂

It is great for people to be confident and not afraid to get shot down, but persisting after you are told "no" outright is never cool. Not being a creep should be so simple, just back off if someone says "no thanks." The idea that "sometimes no actually means maybe ;)" just makes things muddy and harder for everyone.

As an assault survivor this Tedx talk makes me feel disgusted...

I was born and raised in Cuba and I can tell you for sure she is exaggerating!!!! It is true that we Cubans are a little bit more “socially warm” to say it in a way that Americans but we’re not wild animals grinding with each other all day 🙂

Getting reported to ER for sexual assault speed run: any percent lol

I feel like this lady just thinks she's good at seduction and was like "I should make a tedX talk about this"

She both endorsed cat calling and sexual harassment on greater levels lmao

Man, I love it when Part 2 is just an extra 30 seconds to the video that they could have just uploaded to the original

I am so uncomfortable with not only how she thinks it's okay to turn a no into yes but with how she sexualizes Cubans and their culture. And the whole grinding pool involving children omg ew ew ewwwww.

It took me three of these videos to realize the teddy is the microphone.

This lady is straight up using stereotypes to get her point across.

All that this has taught me is that it's ridiculously easy to get on Ted Talks.

I'm 27, also grew up with the BS grading scale in school. Except I did get B's instead of A's, would get stressed TF out about it and then graduated and realized that in reality going to high-school was completely BS and did nothing to prepare me for the real world lol

I almost can’t even handle the cringe. Only reason I’m half way through is cause you two are funny.

This video feels like a sleepover where we go around showing each other videos and it's Scott's turn

This may be a little controversial, but I think I'd rather have people respect me than sexualize me 🤠🤪

This is just absolutely confusing. It’s like she’s never heard of stalking or rejection killers or the metoo movement. Smh

Lady: "in Cuba I've discovered something I've found nowhere else in the world" Me, who knows Brazil exists: How about that 🤔

I liked how she listed Israel as one of the seductive places. I live in Israel and as much as the world loves our women I cannot think of a single seductive thing about our country

I really like this guy's videos. He does such a good job with audio production and has a good quality microphone. Too many KZfaqrs are hard to hear on my shitty phone speaker and I have to play the video on max volume

dawg you’re so funny. love the videos

I love how the Spider-Bear is just vibin’ in the bed.

I love Scott Cramer becoming the number one KZfaqr for the niche market of seductive Ted Talks.

You guys always look so comfy.

The two of you are so adorable. 🖤 I love when you guys create content together.
