Do you realise that Roosh is a businessman?
Do you realise that in order for him to sell his books about going abroad he needs to convince you that WHERE YOU ARE SUCKS.
If you didn't, well now you know...
I'm glad you brought this up; I was actually meaning to mention it but it totally slipped my mind.
I haven't bought any of Roosh's books, and don't plan to. There's no need. I have no plans to travel to half of those places, especially not to be a sex tourist.
I get results already. Although I'm not this big pimp, living some rockstar life, I do okay. But I'll tell you, **it takes effort**
You see, in this country, dating/banging a "cute" girl is a BIG DEAL.
Why?
Because she can do herself up to be an 8.5+
You'll be at a cocktail party with her, and onlookers, friends, and family, will say to each other "How the fuck did THAT happen?!"
If you're not the best looking guy out there, some of the particularly shitty ones might even venture the dickish: "She's way out of his league!"
In my pre-game days, I had a friend tell me this smoking hot girl was on her way to another part of the bar and just stopped dead in her tracks and stared at me. Basically that she eye-fucked me then and there.
I asked for more info on it and he said, "Dude, I was as shocked as you were." I asked him what he meant by that. He just kind of had this laughing expression on his face, like, "Come on man, I thought you knew." Needless to say, that guy isn't my friend anymore.
But I'm digressing.
I don't want it to come across AT ALL that I'm saying you CAN'T HAVE success with women in the US. Of course you can. It's perfectly possible, even likely.
But given all of the above, do I give Roosh the time of day, that he *may* be onto something here, and that things with girls could be better with meeting/attracting women in other countries?
You bet!
You see, it's really starting to come together, and I really think I'm understanding why this guy is so hated, particularly by the guys who've had no-not much success with women, and those who've had *some* success:
- People hate finding out that they've been duped.
- They hate the idea that they've been putting in way too much effort to get the results they've gotten, like a sucker, essentially.
- People will fight tooth-and-nail against the idea that they've been banging their head against the wall, when they just could have changed 1-2 things (the environment may be one, may not be) and could have had such better luck.
Chris Rock put it best (paraphrased):
"There ain't a white person in THIS ROOM that would trade places with me. AND I'M RICH! Someone in here, there's a white, one-legged busboy, saying 'Naw man, I ain't switchin'. I'm gonna ride this white thing out, and see where it takes me.' That's how good it is to be white."
You've got the same animal here.
I changed my environment. I was in a shitty city. It was renowned throughout the region as having "one of the worst dating markets / not the place for singles / better to move here with a family you've already started, etc."
Sure people warned: "The grass is never greener!" "Geographical cures don't work! You'll have the same problems anywhere!"
I'm now in a major metro area in the US and am having a great time.
One of the last girls I dated back in that shitty town was *barely* a 7, I mean BARELY.
I met her, guess where, during a workday, in the office kitchen! (didn't work directly with, never saw her). I started chatting her up and one thing led to another, (yeah, so much for zmbcm1's claim that no girls ever get approached during the day.
We dated for a while, and in the end I did lose out to an orbiter. This girl had OVER A DOZEN! And for a SEVEN!
In a last-ditch attempt to keep her interest, because it was slipping, I sent her flowers on valentines day, and found out later that I was ONE OF THREE GUYS WHO SENT HER FLOWERS.
Like I said. Girls have options. Even the Sevens.
And to address that straw-man, "everybody has options / the McDonalds fatties, etc. etc." argument, um, no...
These were guys who were playing it to the hilt.
One orbiter owned a 2,000 square ft., 3 bedroom house, and a garage with EIGHT race cars, at 26 years old.
There were lawyers.
There were financial managers and marketing directors of fortune 500 companies.
There were some pretty big dudes mixed in there too. And there were certainly lots of "ladies' men", which I guess feeds into the stereotype that "men are pigs, they just want to sleep around!" "Well, if you only consider these top-dog (on a superficial level) guys who have plenty of options, that's what you're gonna be getting, because they have the options to be womanizers." ( < I say)
If a 7, who's almost 30, and fading-fast looks has over a dozen orbiters and 3 guys buying her flowers on valentines day, you've got to figure that something is very, very wrong here.
I changed my environment, and haven't seen any shit like that since.
Just sayin'
