Okay guys it's past 2am here so I have to log off. I can answer straggler questions in the next couple of days.

I expected some haters to show up but the questions were great. Thanks!

ExpatChronicles · 2013-02-04T23:05:56+00:00

Are you fully supported by your book sales and web income? In other words, do you do anything for money aside from writing?

fokm · 2013-02-04T23:45:20+00:00

Tits, Ass, or Face -- pick two.

Danny1467 · 2013-02-05T09:37:40+00:00

When you read a book do you read it slowly and take notes or just focus on getting through it quickly and your brain storing the important information?

AndroidKim · 2013-02-05T16:06:31+00:00

How is your relationship with your parents?

WolfInClothing · 2013-02-05T17:01:22+00:00

Your most recent post about the beginning of the end suggests you're about to change your life in some significant way. Do you have any plans for how you'll approach the next stage of your life?

redpillschool · 2013-02-04T23:02:41+00:00

Welcome Roosh! I'm humbled by your presence!

My few big questions:

In the USA, would you consider the advice in your book "Bang" to still be relevant? I use the advice in Day Bang daily with great results- I've mostly given up on night game.
You have a pretty negative view on social websites like facebook and the use of iphones. I agree with you, the validation it provides women is overwhelming. But the cat's out of the bag with social media. My question is this- since we can't undo what iphones have brought us, the attitude that preached for men doesn't seem to work as well.. the abundance mentality seems to have less effect when you end up next-ing through every girl you meet trying to keep your foot down and not put up with bullshit, and they don't care about your strike because they don't really need validation from you in the first place. What do you suggest would be a good way to counteract these forces, socially as a group, that isn't just spam more women?

Hey Roosh, huge fan of your lifestyle posts and such on your personal blog and return of kings. This is more of a personal question, but I'm curious how you deal with the concept of men who hit on your sister or other family you are close with? Do you treat it cold without emotion understanding that you would do that to someone elses sister/family member? Or are you trusting of how you and your sister were raised that you don't have to worry about what happened?

I too have a sister I'm close with and while she has only had one long term boyfriend, with her entering University I'm scrambling towards how I feel with other dudes hitting on her and how to treat that and what my attitude is towards her in that situation. I come from a traditional arab family, so I've kind of embodied the protective role over her.

ExpatChronicles · 2013-02-04T23:46:37+00:00

Do you ever want kids / family?

shadow77 · 2013-02-04T23:49:49+00:00

What's the best way to handle spinning plates (dating multiple girls) in regards to Valentine's Day? Nevermind gifts or whatever, but what's the best way to maneuver through that minefield with minimal damage?

fokm · 2013-02-05T00:27:26+00:00

You've traveled around and forged your own path in life. Why do you feel so many people don't do the same? What is it about you that makes ou different? Why do so many fear change when you embrace it, and even force yourself out of your comfort zone?

krausbert · 2013-02-05T00:03:59+00:00

What actions did you take to build the drive and self-discipline necessary to attain your goals and get you where you are today?

Also how did you combat negative emotions and the feeling of wanting to quit midway?

CoupeDeVillain · 2013-02-04T23:04:14+00:00

1) Did Travel Improve your US game?
2) Would you ever franchise Roosh's Bang Guides?

3) Are you afraid that if you stop writing new guides, your old guides will stop selling?

4) Poland v. Croatia

5) Now that you've conquered the mating game, and figured out how to be location independent, is there anything left?

ospurt · 2013-02-04T23:31:36+00:00

Being divorced, over 40 and back in the SMP, it just seems like I have to have a different frame than those learning game in their 20s and 30s. How do you combat "that old guy" look and at least keep some decent SMV women in play?

Bascon · 2013-02-04T23:25:03+00:00

What is your lifetime notch count?

rooshv · 2013-02-05T01:35:41+00:00

Since discovering this subreddit and all the articles (still going through them...lots to read. Just finished manipulated man), I've felt lost on where to go from here. I understand the self improvement and passion focus, something I've excelled at. But I run into the thought of "why would I even engage myself with women outside of a sexual context?"

Is this a period where I'll scramble and learn to find/create myself, or is there an article to read/way to move forward that's common amongst new red-pill men?

Appreciate it!

Walderschmidt · 2013-02-04T23:01:53+00:00

Where do you think you will take your game next, now that chasing notches and flags doesn't give you the same satisfaction as it once did.

Will you master conquering a woman's mind, a la deep conversion as mentioned by Krauser and Xsplat?

rooshv · 2013-02-04T22:58:10+00:00

How do you determine who writes what for Return of Kings? Would you accept some submissions from members of this subreddit?
Could you see yourself taking this movement mainstream? IE, get on Fox's red eye or something as a start and move into media appearances?
Male SMV: Do you view it as something most will see peak in their thirties, or is the male peak a charitable interpretation of a confluence of factors most won't meet?
Game and society: Is "red pill" helping men gain back their masculinity giving "betas" a greater stake in it all, or just making the best of a bad situation and unleashing alpha male forces we once had bottled up unto society.

RealityIncorporated · 2013-02-04T23:05:15+00:00

Your most recent blog post alluded to moving your energy into a different direction. Can you expand more on what new projects you're thinking of starting?

fokm · 2013-02-04T23:41:19+00:00

Do you ever regret quitting your corporate job all those years ago?
Re: Your last post, The Beginning Of The End...do you have any clue what you'll be doing next?
Has your over the past decade life made you happy? Do you think you're happier than the average American male your age?
Are there any cultures/countries that I could visit that value men in a way that the Anglosphere doesn't, just so I could find out what that's like?

Blue_Nightmare · 2013-02-04T23:45:08+00:00

How was your game when learning Spanish/Portuguese? I am living in Spain, and while quite fluent, my success is dramatically higher when engaging in English.

rooshv · 2013-02-04T23:07:26+00:00

Do you have any experience in or advice on multigirl encounters (FFM, FFFM, etc)? Specifically, have you ever tried dating a bisexual girl and arranging regular threesomes with additional girls? I'm in this position now, but have a difficult time finding anything in the manosphere worth reading on this approach.

ospurt · 2013-02-04T23:08:16+00:00

How would you approach "game" in smaller urban areas of the United States (like under 200k population)?

jookato · 2013-02-04T23:38:16+00:00

Do you like women, or (still?) hate them? I think I'm leaning towards hate myself, for now at least. But I feel like I need to have some positive feelings towards whoever I'm having sex with to enjoy it, and that might be kind of difficult if I don't like women.

So, I'm wondering.. Did you go through a phase like this, and how did you move on?

redpenicillin · 2013-02-05T00:08:04+00:00

I don't have any really important questions, but here goes.

I noticed you've spent a lot of time in Europe (particularly Eastern Europe) and Latin America. Have you considered traveling to East or Southeast Asia? Are there other destinations you still want to visit?
In the vein of the previous questions, since you travel a lot and don't have many good things to say about living in America, have you thought about living abroad permanently? Would you ever return and settle back in the US?
Would you ever consider getting involved in microbiology again?
What is the absolute worst city you've ever visited, in terms of the quality of women, outside of the US?
Do you see any of your favored countries in Eastern Europe or Latin America under threat from the influence of modern American feminism and misandry? Or are they pretty safe for now?

Thanks for taking the time to do this AMA! I've been following your blogs for a while now, and they've been a real eye opener for me.

telnet_reddit_80 · 2013-02-04T23:49:05+00:00

When I read some game materials, including yours, it all seems... charmless. Roissy's or Krauser's writing feels more alive, not to mention the latter's field videos. They joke, stumble, show a little vulnerability, open with a compliment, etc.

Yeah, you praise rambling but still — is your style really that cold? Or is it a matter of sanitizing/distilling it for the sake of being concise and to-the-point in your guides?

j200000 · 2013-02-05T00:45:15+00:00

What is your flag count?

Bascon · 2013-02-05T01:12:47+00:00

I would really like to see you do a huge generalization-filled comparison of both latin america and eastern europe. which one do you like more and how does your ethnicity play into it? I've heard you say blonde dudes kill it more in brazil, does that make you prefer EE?

rooshv · 2013-02-04T23:37:40+00:00

Possibly a beta question, but I think it warrants a response. You may have posted about it and I may not have gotten through that post with the reading I am doing, however, when do you settle down if ever? Is that even a possibility? There has to be some sort of end game.

fokm · 2013-02-04T23:53:07+00:00

Do you ever see yourself becoming a citizen of another country (and thus losing your US citizenship status)?
Are your taxes complicated or rather, is it hard for you to manage your business while you're abroad?
Do you vote in any US elections?

Thanks so much Roosh.

shadow77 · 2013-02-05T00:04:31+00:00

What country has the best wmoen in the sense that they are super attractive and down to have sex pretty easily (i.e. not conservative). Looking for the intersection between looks and ease of getting into bed here.

niceguy_gone_cad · 2013-02-04T23:52:52+00:00

Hi Roosh!

1) In which country that you've visited do girls throw the meanest shit test?

2) Your preferred response to them? Ignore, agree and amplify or reframe?

rooshv · 2013-02-05T05:35:39+00:00

Any plans about visiting Russia?

zionController · 2013-02-07T01:17:11+00:00

Roosh, I'm getting tired of living in Canada. I am applying for a passport to go to the Czech Republic or possibly Poland. I'd be leaving a high paying government job, but money here doesn't mean much to me when all it gets is the hypergamous women that are jumping of the carousel of scum bag cock. I'm pretty serious about going, but I don't know what to do when I get there. Where would you get a job if you're just starting out? How do you build up?

j200000 · 2013-02-05T00:30:15+00:00

Hello Mr Rooshv

Have you ever thought of travelling to holiday hotspot destination of a certain nationality?

Say if you wanted to fuck a Russian would you consider going to south east asia. Hot women tend to be easier to fuck whilst they are on holidays.

Cheers

themoor · 2013-02-05T00:53:24+00:00

Roosh, I'm late to the game tonight (hit some bars on a Monday, looking for chicks, you know the drill).

And sorry if this is already asked, I don't have time to look through the posts to see; I want to get this in.

I read your post today on your site. Sounds like you are down in the dumps and/or just got all you can out of committing to laying the babes regularly and/or just going through the regular ups and downs involved.

Question: Do you see this as maybe another "plateau" or do you think that committing to being single and chasing tail eventually eats its young and brings one to an impasse?

That said, even if you do give up the chase, I see you as a guy who likes meeting challenges, so not only is this one but I'm sure you'll put another one in front of you soon. Best of luck

Where are you now? Poland? Ukraine? Russia? will you visit russia seeing as you spent so much time learning that language?
Will you visit Czech republic or Hungary? they are both EE countries with light skinned girls.
isn't it semi game-denialist to travel all around the world to find better pussy spots?

captshady · 2013-02-04T23:48:07+00:00

I found your blog 4 years ago, the exact day my divorce of final. Had I only known then!

I understand you have monetary interests in coaching on game, but it sure seems like you sincerely want others to be aware of it. Am I off base here?

Your blog is only 2-3 links away real serious shit.

Wise-Cracker · 2013-02-04T23:13:03+00:00

What is your view on MRA/MGTOW? Is the fragmentation of the Manosphere into these different camps beneficial?

What Manosphere blogs, if any, do you read?

Has your success with women made life more or less enjoyable? Does the knowledge of how humans, and specifically women, are deterministically responsive to certain stimuli and are easily manipulable, like any other animal, cause you to lose motivation in your personal life?

realtalkdude · 2013-02-05T05:02:04+00:00

What do you think about RISUG or the male pill? Apparently die-hard feminists hate it, because it will eliminate the power women have held for the last 50 years to determine the reproduction of the human race. If effective, cheap, long-lasting with no side effect birth control is available for men, do you think feminism will recede, as a failed experiment in social engineering?

I thought it was better for 3h vs 3 dates. Are you suggesting Ukrainian women are better because they're more difficult?

Guavaberry27 · 2013-02-05T02:23:38+00:00

Would you consider revisiting South America and Visiting Central America? You seem to have left with a bitter taste of Venezuela.

Also, this might have been asked before, but have you considered travelling through the US? Your view of American women seems to be very skewed because of DC, perhaps some time in the south might help you reconsider.

Sup Roosh, long time reader (i have daybang and most of the travel guides sitting on my kindle), i managed to find out a lot about the manosphere and positively affect huge parts of my lifestyle as part of finding your work so cheers.

questions:

1) re:beginning of the end. do you feel that you're going to largely quit the game (lays/notches/flags etc) now? what's next instore for Uncle roosh?

2)Kind of a philosophical question. You wrote some excellent articles concerning your early hypercondria and fear of death, that through some introspection (i think you mentioned some buddhist books) you learned to accept and deal with.

what would you say to all those early red pill men out there in really shitty situations (close ones too them are dying because of cancer or whatever, they've lost their house their car, etc) about the first steps to coping with the sheer amount of shit that comes their way, once they take that red pill?

This is a real stumbling block for people, being weaned off the support network mechanism of a shitty system and learning to be self reliant, taking the red pill and fend for themselves, without friends family etc, what would you first say to them?

3)Imagine years have passed, you're old. You meet a 18year old boy waiting at the bus stop. you get talking to him, and he's clearly a frustrated young man. he has all the blue pill issues that occur today in most western societies.

If you could give him one sweet short piece of advice to turn his life around what would that be? (A warren buffet type question)

thanks

masterofboobies · 2013-02-04T23:08:44+00:00

Do you think that Mothers have really dropped the ball when it comes to raising a strong, modern man? I think that they coddle them and develop inappropriate relationships with their sons that negatively affects how Alpha they will become later in life. I think that you are Middle Eastern is it like that with your culture or is it just an American thing? Also, when your Mother used to parade around in front of you in her underwear, did you catch a glimpse of her pubes? I bet it looked like she shoved a comically over-sized Afro wig down the front of her panties.

LikeAd6 · 2013-02-05T00:20:03+00:00

Do you think it is acceptable for a man to raise a child on his own without the involvement of a mother figure so that he is free not to commit to one woman? I have read about the importance of the father role in raising children properly, but is the mother role worth the male having sex with one partner for life?
