Ladies, if you want to better understand how (some) guys think, this video is worth a watch. While many men may not approach the art of the pick up as methodically as this one (who makes a living thinking about and teaching other men how to approach women) it’s a good lesson in why those accidental meetings and magic moments may not be quite as accidental as you might believe. Plus, it’s pretty funny.
Enjoy!

P.s. while this blogger can indeed be crude and rude and makes no bones about it, I don’t believe him to be the villain he’s been painted to be. In fact, by reading his blog I think women could learn a lot about what not to do if you don’t want to get picked up in a bar and then pumped and dumped. In a weird way, he and other pick up artists are doing everyone a favor by pointing out how easy it can be to pick up and bang women because let’s face it, it has become too easy. Don’t be easy. That’s the solution.
Let those who have ears hear.
Redpillgirlnotes,
You’ve discovered Roosh! He is charming and , sometimes, he has great insight.
Fuzzie, I have read Roosh for some time, actually. While crude at times you are right that he also can have great insight. I think of it as self defense reading!
Redpillgirlnotes,
I don’t know how to advise you re:defense. These guys are charming.
Elsewhere, you wanted to know how to make money blogging. I think Roosh does it by selling books. Captain Capitalism has books, ads on his page, and commissioned sales. I don’t think that they are living large from the proceeds.
1. I’ve never touched or tapped a woman I don’t know, by way of introduction, in my life. That’s what toddlers do. It’s also invasive.
2. Standing directly behind a woman: threatening. Not a great seduction move, scaring women.
There’s a mysterious way to meet women. They show interest and give you a second glance. Then you say hello. I know: complicated.
Maybe this stuff works in jammed clubs with perfume-counter clerks under the age of 25.
Re: self defense, knowing how these guys think and how they operate is enlightening. I don’t hang out in clubs really so it would likely help gals who do the club scene more. Back in college I would go out to the clubs with my then roommate, a 5’10’ willowy Brazilian. She would always fall for the dumbest pick up lines! She needed to read this stuff!
Agreed BV, I have a feeling he’s targeting gals 25 and under with these moves. In fact he pretty much says on many occasions they are his target market. I did think the little figurine birds and the commentary was pretty funny tho.
BV I kinda get the impression you are a natural, and also way more suave. I kind of imagine you sitting there, all blase and above it, and the ladies coming to hit on YOU, the mysterious and intriguing sovereign man! But yes agreed, there really doesn’t need to be a “shtick” and in fact too much of that and it sends red “player” flags flying.
But of course as you have pointed out to me before, I am not getting it much of the time when I get hit on, so I am not sure I can really speak to how all this works! I tend to assume they are all players!
No, I am not a natural. We don’t need to go into it, but I was not a healthy guy when I left home at 17. I didn’t look at people directly until I was 25.
However, as a more socialized person, it’s pretty easy to tell who is interested in talking. So if I want to talk to someone, instead of reading the paper, I talk to her. The whole PUA thing is a waste of time unless you’re like I was at 17. Then I did need to learn that people preferred eye contact during conversation, and the like. Now, I just talk to women if I feel like it. Sometimes stuff happens. What a concept!
Good advice BV, it really is as easy as that!
Yes, he is thoroughly charming and insightful:

Ruby,
I went there and read Dave Futrelle’s post. To put it bluntly, he is one odd duck.
Here is someone else’s assessment of David Futrelle.
http://judgybitch.com/2014/06/18/is-david-futrelle-covering-for-violent-feminists/
We are not talking about Futrelle, though, but about Roosh. To call a sociopath of his caliber charming and insightful is, at best, breathtakingly misguided.
Same goes for the rabid JB, BTW, but discussing her would also be a distraction.
In short, the self-admitted sociopathic rapist can only be considered charming and insightful by people who either do not know what these words mean, or are themselves psychologically unwell (and/or may be unfamiliar with the person they are talking about).
But yes, it happens, and, sadly, too often. Charles Manson is getting married, after all, to a young beautiful woman who also sees him as charming and insightful of sorts. Ted Bundy had women throwing themselves at him even after his conviction. His charms and insights were truly inspiring, no doubt. Etc., you get my drift. In addition to female worshipers, these individuals have had many male ones too, so it’s not just the “bad boy” appeal to women that increases their popularity.
If you are going to point out that Roosh may have said something that made sense somewhere, then sure — even a broken clock is right twice a day. Manson and Bundy and all popular sociopaths everywhere manage to sound reasonable and almost human on occasion — it is part of that “charm” that makes all the easy marks fall in line with their vile plans.
But overall if it quacks and walks like a sociopath, it ain’t an adorable duckling, and one should remember that.
Ruby,
Comparing Roosh to Charles Manson or Ted Bundy is a little over the top, even for a rabid feminist.
Is Roosh not killing anybody? – check
Is Roosh giving women what they are asking for? – check
Does Roosh provide useful insight into the modern messed up situation? – check
On the other side of the ledger,
Is Roosh fornicating? – check
Ruby, you need to lighten up on the LSD.
What women hate to admit is that Roosh is right. How many young women living alone are going sit at home on the weekends? That’s 104 opportunities for men to approach her in a social setting. So 3 guys to be successful is only a 3% rate if she’s not in a LTR. That doesn’t include work and and the other 5 nights.
So without severe restrictions on access to her lock, those are a lot of keys attempting to open it. The more guys she allows in the more comfortable she is with that lifestyle so Roosh is right in that respect…
To clarify I am not saying women should fall for pua game, but that by reading about it and watching videos like this they can learn how that world works so they can *avoid* being charmed. That’s the insight.
Fuzzie, on further reflection I find it ironic that Ruby apparently missed the point of this post, which is Roosh can only do what he does if the girls do what they do. Not going home with guys you meet at a bar is what this post advises. The Roosh V’s of the world are not going to change who they are and what they do. I may not think it’s right, but I do think it’s his right to live his life. And it’s a woman’s right to choose to give a Roosh-like fella a pass rather than to go home with him and then cry “victim” when he won’t wife/ltr her up. The only thing a gal can control is herself. That’s how she can protect herself. Say no. Don’t be gullible. It’s just that easy. I bet even Roosh would tell them that.
