[Special Update: Christian McQueen has personally verified that many of the complaints leveled against him are true. Click here, or scroll to the very bottom, for more.]
Christian McQueen is a washed up actor (his biggest role being an uncredited bartender in The Break-Up) turned dating coach. While I have nothing against men who help other men improve their success with women, McQueen is involved in some shady and downright illegal activities.
I have received numerous complaints from his clients, which you’ll be seeing in a moment, in which he robbed them, insulted them, blackmailed them, and endangered their safety and reputation. If you decide to associate with McQueen, there’s a good chance that your finances and well-being are at stake.
After being in contact with numerous sources, many of which solicited me for help, here are a list of questionable and illegal activities reportedly carried out by Christian McQueen:
1. Christian McQueen Is A Plagiarist
Like acting, McQueen didn’t have the chops to become a writer. Fortunately, with a little help from his old friend Google, McQueen was able to steal content from other websites and pass it off as his own.
If you would like to see an example of this, compare these two posts between Christian McQueen and PUA Forum. As you’ll notice, McQueen copied the list word-for-word on his own site. Additionally, I’ve received several other documents that indicate plagiarism took place. While none of these are quite as direct, they do seem to have been stolen. For example, compare this post on developing a winner’s mindset to the one “written” by McQueen.
2. Christian McQueen Will Literally Rob You
(Link To Full Discussion Of McQueen’s Illegal Activities)
While I unfortunately don’t have any text discussions of it (though you can read over 110 comments on the issue here), I have been told that McQueen actually robs his clients. Both by overcharging them and literally shaking them down in the club.
One of my sources even informed me that McQueen overcharged him for a trip to Vegas and then him in up a nightclub, demanding more money for “extra expenses.” Additionally, this same source told me that McQueen acted very strangely throughout the night (allegedly high on cocaine) and seemed untrustworthy.
There’s nothing wrong with going to Vegas or hiring a dating coach to take you around town. However, being ripped-off by a drug addict who assaults you for more money is not something that many men would willingly sign up for.
Lastly, whenever people attempt to criticize McQueen and his illicit business practices, he tries to blackmail them. He’s threatened legal action and even promised to release the names of his clients, potentially ruining their careers and personal lives.
3. Christian McQueen Does Not Pay His Affiliates
A group of men signed up for an affiliate program offered by McQueen. They were promised a commission on every copy of his book, The Alpha Playboy, that they sold. Eager to make some extra cash (and support a guy they looked up to) they wrote a review and published it on their website.
Numerous copies of the book were sold. Yet McQueen never paid them. Eventually the men took the review down and, disheartened from their negative experience, quit blogging.
Aside from just being a generally sh*tty thing to do, withholding money you owe someone who affiliate marketed for you is actually a breach of contract and illegal. If you, or anyone you know, is owed money by McQueen, you can take legal action and press charges.
4. Christian McQueen Is A Liar
Lastly, I want to address a topic that I know someone will bring up in the comment section. And that’s whether or not McQueen actually gets laid a lot and lives out a playboy lifestyle.
According to my sources, you can see an image from a conversation above, the answer is no. You are being sold fluff. Pictures with paid models and tall tales. Additionally, McQueen’s lavish lifestyle, which you can often see him bragging about on Twitter, apparently consists of a line of credit.
The nice folks at MasterCard, and the bank, are willing to throw McQueen their table scraps every month (as long as he begs politely) so that he can try to impress you with his “big baller” lifestyle. If you have $10 in your pocket and no debt, there’s a good chance that you’re far richer McQueen will ever be.
2018 Update
I wrote this article years ago when Christian McQueen (real name Benjamin Riley Schmitt) was living in his cheap Van Nuys studio apartment and ripping guys off with a “Vegas Hangover Experience” package (something which got him blackballed by all the big names around here like Mike Cernovich, Roosh V, and Chris from Good Looking Loser).
Since then, he was mostly forgotten, until last year.
A reader emailed me to let me know that McQueen / Schmitt was posting death threats and claims of having stolen my social security number.
This has lead to an open FBI inquiry into the matter.
Additionally, it seems that McQueen still continues treating his paying customers like trash. When actual clients ask him questions online, he responds like this:
Additionally, he threatens to “f*ck their future employment” of customers who email him “time waster” questions (here’s a link to the Tweet and screen cap below).
Here’s my question to you. Do you really want to buy a product from Christian McQueen (who admits in his own Tweets) that he’ll try stealing your identity to use against you. Or who calls you (a paying customer) names because you asked him about a product sale?
There are many wonderful products and courses out there, why do business with someone who behaves in an unstable and dangerous manner?
Final Word
I didn’t want to have to post this article, however McQueen has personally ripped-off and harmed several people who I know in real life. This is not a “hater” post and I normally have no interest in another man’s actions. Since I’ve received multiple reports of McQueen conning men and ripping his customers off, I felt obligated to act. As the old saying goes:
If you see fraud, and don’t shout ‘fraud’, you are a fraud.
For those of you who still want to personally associate with a thief and a fraud, that’s your decision.
To end this article on a positive note, I want to leave you with the nicest comment that anyone who has personally met McQueen was willing to share with me. This was literally the only remark anyone made that did not involve McQueen’s scams, thefts, and illegal activities:
P.S. I’ve been contacted by multiple sources, a few of which are big name bloggers you probably know, who have all said the same things about Christian McQueen. They’ve all remarked that he is untrustworthy and not someone who they would ever associate with. While it has never been officially been released to the public, there’s actually a manosphere blackout on McQueen’s name. This is why the majority of bloggers do not link to his content or mention him directly.
Special Report: McQueen Confirms That This Post’s Content Is Indeed True
After republishing what I’ve been told about Christian McQueen threatening to sue anybody who criticizes him, McQueen himself (real name Benjamin Riley Schmitt) decided to personally verify this statement as 100% correct. You can see his written confirmation below:
Thanks for weighing in and endorsing this post, Christian!
