Ok people:

Either the guy is accurate in his advice or he is not. If he is NOT accurate, then he’s just another guy writing stuff and nothing to get worked up over.

If he IS accurate, then instead of hating him, learn from what he’s writing. I’ve been an avid reader and commenter on the blog. It’s very interesting stuff, mainly because I’m coming from an evo-psych selfish gene perspective.

When he starts commenting about Americans in general or non-pick up issues I tune out a little because he gives other countries a pass on their flaws. But overall he has some solid concepts on how to pick up girls.

Dad deserves having this guy leech off him for raising the kid to be half a man in the first place.

Yeah Roosh, you are a small man indeed.

Wow.

I’m not convinced. I’ve done a good deal of poking around on his site since this post went up, and I did a fair amount after the last City Desk post on him. He’s genuinely repellent.

I don’t want a debate on his ideas. It makes no difference if a few clowns on this site see that as me being “filled with hate.”

After reading much of his writing, I’m done with it. He is a small man.

Roosh’s blog is a great read, and he has a lot of interesting observations and ideas. They may not all be fruitful, and they may strike some as silly, but he has made a good and meaningful contribution to not only the blogosphere but also to the lives of a lot of open-minded men and women. Is he always right? No. Is he interesting? Usually. It would be better to debate his ideas on his blog, though, rather than personally attacking him on this site; so far, he has a good record of allowing people to post criticisms of him on his blog.

you people really are filled with hate? jealous that someone is happy not conforming to the tired 9-5 existence… i dont necessarily agree with everything roosh writes on the site.. but you´d have to be completely thick headed not admit there are some serious pearls of wisdom throw out there.

Interesting comments from all here.

I have just heard of Roosh, but have my own experiences with one of those gurus. For a while I used to read a weekly email about how to deal with women, pick- up etc.

I didn’t go to my nearest club and try some cheesy lines, but took some of the advice and applied it in my own way when I met women (such as at a party), and the way they responded was stunning. From a loser several years ago that couldn’t get a girl to look twice, I now can’t remember the last time I decided I wanted a girl and didn’t at least kiss her.

Maybe some of the commenters don’t have trouble handling themselves around women; maybe they have bought into these ideas once and felt let down – who knows. But by just taking a few kernels of advice and not being “every other guy” I now don’t have to be rejected like I constantly was or settle for second best. That’s really important for me, and a lot of other people as well. I think Roosh can give that to some people, even if he can have rather grandiose ideas about himself.

Someone needs to “out” Roissy in DC as well. Name, photo, and all. That guy has it coming.

Here’s the scoop on this fool –
He grew up in Montgomery Co. Went to school at UMD. Never had too many friends in high school. Didn’t get a lot of girls. Awkward. Spent years reading and running “Seduction” bulletin boards. Determined to become an Alpha Male. Plays the usual “pick up artist” game and tries to reduce the behaviour of women down to their uncontrollable genetic desires. Boring, Sydney. Boring. Spends a lot of time working on his game. Reading stupid seduction techniques on the internet and making up his own equally idiotic techniques. Thinks that he is being clever, unique,or iconoclastic. He’s really just a chump that lives in his dad’s basement and has sex with drunk girls. Intersperses his bullshit alpha male stupidity and lame pick up advice with moronic and childish musings on life and the rat race. His bullshit musings on life remind me of the scene in Revenge of the Nerds II, when Ogre gets stranded on the Island with the Nerds and they get stoned. The nerds are all waxing poetic about the cosmos and Ogre says “what if C-A-T really spelled Dog?” If Ogre had a blog it would be similar to RooshV’s. Although Ogre is kind of likable in the end. Not so sure about Mr. V.

You guys need to stop hating on Roosh’s blog without even reading it. I have been reading his material back when he had his first forum (pre-blog) and it’s always been great. A lot of funny stuff as well as truly insightful points about culture. A lot of his stuff may be controversial, but he’s doing that to get you all talking and in return he gets all this publicity. He is not one of those “Pick Up Artist” douchebags like Mystery on VH1. I dont agree with a lot of his views but I also agree with many of them. He’s really self-aware and a good read!

Is that Jim “The Hammer” Schapiro?!

You guys need to stop hating on the fact that he not only gets laid more than you, but he also gets by without working and travels the world for months at a time. The bottom line is that he’s probably happier than you, and you’re coming off as bitter.

Actually no, he’s not better than most of D.C.’s bloggers. In fact, he’s not better than any of them. Have you read his writing? It’s not good. He appears to be quite dumb.
