SlutCon

SlutCon is a three-day retreat in Berkeley where men pay between $3,300 and $18,000 to practice seduction with paid “flirt girls.” Participants wear wristbands that signal they are open to approach, and organizers instruct flirt girls to offer gentle corrections or exit loudly if interactions become uncomfortable. The event is hosted by Lightcone Infrastructure, a group linked to the rationalist subculture that emphasizes Bayesian reasoning and cognitive bias avoidance.
