I was Googling around last night to see if I could find anything that somebody had written about the lecture yet, and I found and read this article by Roosh.

So was it hard to find decent women when you guys went out?

Thanks for coming to DC Roosh - it was really nice to meet you even briefly in real life. I had a friend's birthday in Baltimore to go to that night and couldn't stay after the lecture.

While I was only there for the lecture, I will say that it was outstanding and worth every penny to see. Roosh has constructed a more general philosophy in which to accurately describe the fundamentals of game. Like others, I don't want to give away too much lest I hurt Roosh's sales if he decides to sell a video of the lecture. I will say that I will buy the video if he does release it.

As for drinking, I have to admit that despite stereotypes of Germans & Brits, I am not that surprised. While Berliners & Londoners are no slouches when it comes to lifting their elbows, DC is such a high stress place that having a few beers for lunch on a Saturday is often tempting.

Before I recently started having decaf coffee with coconut oil, I would have probably been one of the guys drinking in the lecture.

I'm the dude that drove up from NC, finally slept it off and made it back home.

I'm really glad I came to the gathering, the group we had there was full of quality fellows. If you are still on the fence about going, you wont regret it. It's amazing to be around so many folks that not only understand what we're going through, but are actively trying to help one another adapt. Doing approaches alongside you all was fun as hell, just seeing all the different styles of game at work.

This lecture had a massive return on time and money invested. +1 would attend again. Others here have described it accurately and frankly I'm more optimistic than ever as a man in the midst of toxic feminism and cultural degradation. Despite the gloom and doom of some, the opponents who may outnumber us simply can't and won't out-think us.

Roosh, thank you for distilling tactical game and strategic cultural survival for us. You didn't get into the later part as much during the lecture but in the hours since I've thought about questions you raised regarding the future for yourself and all men. There are several coping strategies society might embrace, and the pendulum will swing back, hopefully much sooner than you think.

I was in a liquor store downtown the Friday before the event and this girl walks in demanding to know where the Canadian beer is. The cashier says she thinks there's some in the back, to which the snarky girl replies, "Well, I work for the Canadian Embassy so..."

I'll bet $40 she was from Ontario & $20 she was from in or around Toronto.

So a slightly late recap after my initial 530am summary.

It was a most excellent 2 days in DC. I had never been to the city before, but am glad I made the trip.

Had never met any forum guys so I was certainly excited for that. It really is crazy how cathartic it is to be able to speak your mind and feel normal for once.

It's funny that at a time when it is so normal and empowering for gays to parade around I have personally felt the most emboldened to "come out" in the open with my opposing beliefs. This weekend has only heightened my courage, and made me very optimistic, though there is a lot of work to be done.

Coming in a day early and going out the night before was a great idea. It was a smaller group of about 8 of us trolling through DC's darkest corners. I was one of the youngest guys there but it was very good talking to a lot of the older guys, learning from them, and feeding off their enthusiasm. The great differences in age did little to interfere with our march to the jaws of infinity. Did not feel weird at all. 8/10 would hang out with again.

The actual event was very well done and organized. The location was excellent and the talk was very clear, to the point, and also funny. There were a lot of people there, and I don't think there were any trolls/SJWs. Most were not from the forum, but there was still a strong forum core. There were a lot of diverse and interesting perspectives from a lot of the guys. By the end of the Q/A session a few of the questions got repetitive, but that is my only beef.

We did get invaded by a group of 5-6 girls right after the event who were slightly too old and post wall but dolled up to the hilt to send off their diplomat girl-friend to Iraq. Great career move love. The oldest looking 2 were accosting the guys from Little Rock outside. I was standing contrapposto smoking a cigarette and the cuter friend on the side chatted me up believing that I wasn't a part of "the woman hating mouth-breather" group. She said that "I should join the group too, so that I could learn how to get girls, but she didn't think I needed any help with that". Too easy, but I know you're hiding crow's feet under those shades.

The rooftop bar where we went to next had a great view, and an upscale vibe, which only meant that the bachelor party girls that were there just wanted to get railed by interesting rich guys. This was great because Tokyo Joe and I were rocking our jackets, hiding the fact that we actually live in basements.

Shout out to Seth Rose for just sitting chill-ly on the side and suddenly conjuring girls to chat up out of nowhere.

Gmac and Tokyo Joe were a high energy wing man combination. A lot to learn from those guys. Tokyo Joe has convinced me to take up the vacant male giggolo position in his posse and move to Japan. See you there shortly mate.

It was great to meet Roosh. He's just a very chill dude. Just felt like one of the guys, and was very affable and welcoming. Got to meet some of his old DC mates as well.

Met a lot of great guys, some of whose names I am forgetting. Feel free to PM me however.

I certainly recommend that you guys attend one of the remaining events. I personally wish I could go to the Montreal one and chat up the sweet French-Canadian girls there. If DC was such fun, I'm sure that will be even better.

Cheers,

SS

I noticed a nanpa book in all Japanese--who translated for Roosh?

Post: #186

Protip: if you can figure out how to type in Japanese, Google 'nanpa spot ______' (filling in your desired city) to find good pickup spots in Japan or even elsewhere. So for Tokyo you'd type: ナンパスポット東京.

There is a collection jar. Prices are lower than Amazon.

A Japanese publishing company bought the rights and translated it.

Turns out the company was given a mandate by the government to raise the birth rate.

Post: #189

Haha, nice. I see "Bang" translates as 抱けるナンパ師. "You can embrace Nanpa Mastery."

Also learned the word for "Alpha" アルファ (Arufa).

出会いからベッドにいたるアルファ男心得
"From meeting to bed, comes the knowledgeable alpha man."

I am trying to make it to Montreal. I like Roosh ideas as he uses reason to defend his ideas as opposed to the leftists who regurgitate the discourse they have been taught. I am coming up with my own neo-masculinity theories.

PS: I have realized that the event will take place near McQuill U, there will probably be a lot of hardcore leftists and feminists nearby. We should be careful.

Damn, I think it is great that there is an official Japanese translation of "Bang" coming out.

Roosh, this is a big, big achievement. Or at least that's how I see it.

I think you need to get some serious props for this. Why?

Because of all foreign markets, the Japanese market is one of the toughest for foreign products, books, and items to penetrate.

They're on their own little program, in their own little world.

Maybe this is part of some super-subtle government initiative to try to get young Japanese men interested in sex again.

Doing your part to raise the birthrate, man.

Well done! I just put out a tweet about this. I think this deserves recognition.

Here's the link in Amazon Japan. Damn, Rooshulus, you should have told us about this earlier! Congrats again:

I'm still undecided if I find that encouraging or discouraging. Roosh has already mentioned the women acting like celebrity models. If top guys who have honed their style and spent YEARS perfecting and distilling their game to snipe pussy find it difficult, what chance is there for the guy who is only slightly above average after self improvement?

I've been meaning to reply to this for some time, but have gotten side-tracked.

First of all, welcome to the Roosh V Forum. I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that you're part of the RooshV or Return of Kings audience, and this thread explains the uniqueness of the Roosh V Forum.

Secondly, you're free to Frame what you witnessed as discouraging, but I'd urge you to Frame it as encouraging.

(1) I know I wasn't there, but I imagine the camera guy shrugging off each rejection as if it was no big deal. This is because, to him, they weren't a big deal at all. He views himself as you also view him: an amazing man who is only rejected by foolish women.

(2) You can now realize that all of the harsh anti-Game, anti-self-improvement criticisms were falsified by his actions.

He didn't self-improve in order to get women to like him.

He didn't get into shape because he was lacking in self-confidence.

He doesn't use each date and each notch as an empty addition to his secretly inferior self-esteem.

He doesn't put women on such a high pedestal that he loses his happiness, his money, his freedom, and his Frame by chasing women.

Instead, he does know that every joyous experience he shares (whether from hitting on women or becoming better every day) is primarily experienced by him. And so every woman he approaches is being "invited to a party" - (hint: he is the party).

And best of all, when your soon-to-be-ex-friends hit you with those same criticisms as you self-improve, you'll pay those idiots no mind.

(3) Most importantly, if you spend enough time on the Roosh Forum, you will become that man. And when you do, you'll realize that VincentVinturi wasn't joking around in this thread. He has worked hard enough and long enough to literally believe that he is the prize.

(4) If you still don't agree, this wondeful post by The Lizard of Oz should convince you.

Sorry for the late reply, and welcome to the RVF. Please maintain the face-to-face connections you made that day.

I hope Japanese men, even middle-aged men, read BANG in their language. just watch this on CNN and you know what Japan is going through: "Why so many Japanese stay chaste".

New York event is looking to be pretty big. Have some extra time to hang out afterward because I may not be able to chat with everyone by the official 7pm cutoff.

NYC RVF crew gonna represent this weekend.

I'm in for Saturday, though probably can't stay out late after the event. Possibly can join for lunch. Get in Friday night, we'll see how jet lagged I am.

The closer the days come off my still archaic paper calendar to it becoming Saturday the 18th, the more it hurts me that I'm missing the lecture in my own city. I have this overwhelming feeling it will be the best one of the series, with endless shenanigans and fun carrying through not only the lecture but the night.

While I voluntarily missed the other lectures to continue my travels, I'm forced to miss the NYC one for as ironic a reason as one could likely find. A friend's wedding, in Los Angeles, to the most liberal SJW girl I know.

Truly wish I could be there. On the bright side you guys are in good hands with Clint for the night's events in case you need guidance. Enjoy undoubtedly the best city in the US...and arguably the world.

I've been a bit busy this week since getting back home, but I had a great time at the DC event and it was well worth flying in from Atlanta for.

The lecture wasn't like all of those lame ass lectures you've had to sit through for school or some professional development thing but the content was very engaging and humorous in many spots. Nothing terribly earth shattering here that Roosh have never talked in about in one form or another on RoK or his own blog, though.

For me, the rubber hit the road during the intermission and after the lecture when I got the chance to talk with the other attendees. I chatted with a few younger guys in their 20s and some guys my age (early 30s). Many of us were from different backgrounds, although I did find a forum member that I went to college with there, MDWanderer1. Everyone was united by the desire to live a better life, become better men, and stick the hottest pieces of pussy we can get our hands on.

As Slim Shady mentioned, a crew of about 15-20 of us went up to the rooftop of a downtown hotel for drinks. I talked with a few more guys and even had a chance to open a couple of sets during the couple of hours that we were there. Roosh even came over and lent a hand on a couple of black chicks that me and another attendee had been talking to for about 20 minutes. I saw him run some of his "clown game," which was very helpful, because our conversation had gone stale at that point. Around 11p, we all went out to a strip of bars on U St. in DC and everything out there was packed, as usual. The last spot I went to with everyone was a Latin rooftop bar, which seemed to have the worst ratio by far, when our crew got there around 1a. Roosh was still out approaching and trying to make sure all of his crew were well fed. He even opened a couple of French girls and passed them off to me after asking if they were into "big black guys." The convo with those girls lasted about 5 minutes. Eventually, I lost everyone around last call and went to grab a slice of pizza before heading back to my hotel.

All in all, a great experience. It felt like being out with all of my buddies before they all got tied down with marriage, kids, and all that other shit that tends to make people boring. Roosh, thanks for putting so much thought and work into everything you do. I give the whole experience 4 thumbs up.

Can anyone suggest which Roosh book I should read first?
