Want to know a cool pizza place in Cebu? It’s time to check out the Wine Shop located near the Golden Peak Hotel and the Kia Dealership. My Japanese friend recommended this really nice pizza restaurant located in Cebu. It is a restaurant during the day, but turns into a bar at night. We arrived at the restaurant around 9PM. We went into the non-smoking area and there was latin music playing. There were about 5 tables in the non-smoking area we were in. The place had a really good ambiance to it.

The owner of the restaurant, who is from Spain, greeted us when we sat down. He looked a bit older I’d say in his late 40’s early 50’s. He mentioned that the area we were sitting in was hot and pointed to the air conditioner. A couple minutes later one of the staff in the restaurant went to turn on the AC. In terms of atmosphere, this place gave off a good vibe. Maybe it’s because the owner is from Spain and knows how to set up a good restaurant. The staff was very attentive to us during the time I was there.

I was actually starving. I’m getting over a cold and I know I probably shouldn’t have eaten pizza, but I just had that appetite. I had the choice of four different styles of pizza and I chose the Toledo. The main reason I chose it was because it was a Spanish style pizza. It came with onions, cut asparagus, manchega and mozzarella cheese. The price for this dish was 320 pesos. “I’m willing to pay a little extra if it’s good” I thought to myself.

While we were waiting on the food, we listened to a cover band singing tunes. The place was really lively and the people there were dancing and having fun. I ordered canned pineapple juice (65 pesos) and nearly finished it by the time my food arrived. The pizza took around 20 minutes to arrive, but was well worth the wait. It was hot like it had just come out of the oven. The ingredients were fresh and the cheese was gooey, drippy, and stringy.  The crust had a slight burnt to it so it was bit crunchy. But with all the other ingredients it tasted very delicious. I think the sauce and the cheese gave the pizza its great taste. This is definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in the Philippines. I finished the entire pizza by myself! Also, my Japanese friend paid for my meal. Not a bad day since I had two meals paid for by friends!

The menu also features tapas and paella. The paella costs 495 for two people and has to be ordered one-day advance. I wonder why does it have to be ordered one day in advance? Maybe it has something to do with the ingredients or something. Anyways, I would recommend checking out this place for some really good pizza in Cebu. If you are not into live music, I would recommend coming to the restaurant in the afternoon.

The restaurant’s name is Café George and it is located near Ayala Mall. There is also a 12% Vat included in the meal which surprised me because the service wasn’t all that good considering how many people were working there. I counted about six workers and there were only about four or five customers. I asked my Filipino friend “Why do the restaurants here overstaff?” She told me because “the managers like to have extra staff for peak times.” I also imagine it’s due to the cheap labor as well so it’s easy to hire more workers. The disadvantage is that many sit around talking to one another and not doing their work.

The wealth in the Philippines is mainly distributed through only elite families. This coffee shop is owned by the Luda family, which also happens to own an oil factory in Cebu. The daughter manages the restaurant.

The café was mostly colored white with chandeliers on the walls and had an open space with plenty of seating. There is also outdoor seating available. My friend told me that the café is mostly used for meetings. There was no music playing the background. I felt like there was something missing and I think that was due to the music. I was coming down with a cold so I ordered the steam milk and carrot soup. As my main dish, I ordered a ranch chicken sandwich, which was superb.

My steamed milk arrived first to the table. It was hot/fresh and delicious. Next, the green carrot soup arrived? My Filipino friend told the worker “he ordered the carrot soup.” They came back later with an orange looking soup and I was like “ok that’s my carrot soup.” It also tasted delicious and had a creamy texture. I even dipped my bread that came with the soup in it.

Before my chicken sandwich arrived, I asked my friend “Why do many of the churches in Cebu have Chinese characters?” She explained that the Chinese community put money in the churches so the Chinese characters were added for their donations to the church. Apparently, there are many Chinese-Filipinos living in Cebu. Even the owner of SM Mall, is Chinese.

My food arrived shortly thereafter. The portion size was good for the Philippines. I went to this café the other day and I ordered a beef and rice dish. Well, guess what? The beef came out in a tiny portion size with lots of rice. I was like really? When I left the restaurant, they charged me an electricity bill of 45 pesos per hour. I charged my laptop and that resulted in me getting an electricity fee. It was absolutely hilarious!!

Overall, the ranch chicken sandwich tasted delicious. The ingredients were fresh: toasted bread, ranch sauce, cucumbers, lettuce, and tomato. All of the ingredients combined to make this one tasty sandwich. The chicken was tasty and featured a flavorful seasoning that went along well with the rest of the ingredients. It also came with a creamy potato salad. The only thing was that the potato skins were still on the potatoes and I would have preferred to have the potato skins cut. I was just happy that when I finished eating it I wasn’t hungry.

I would like to recommend checking out this restaurant. They also offer: soups, salads, sausage, pork, beef, fish, chicken, and pasta dishes.

Hours of Operation: Sunday-Thursday: 10:30AM-10:00PM
Friday-Saturday:10:30AM-11:00PM

Do something fun. If you haven’t set up the date yet, think of something she will enjoy. Think about what you two talked about the first time you met and if you remember her saying that she enjoys something, whether it be having drinks, art, exercise, history, going to the beach, movies, cooking, exotic foods, or anything else try to set something similar up for the first date and she will automatically have a good time! The first date should be fun and light-hearted so do something you will both enjoy and things will go well.

The most important thing to understand on a first date is that she already likes you and she will most likely continue to like you. That means the “pick up” is over so if you used any “techniques” to pick her up then you don’t need them anymore! Picking up and dating are two totally different “games”. For example, having social status is great for picking up because it communicates to her that a lot of people like you which is great information for her when deciding whether to date you or not. On the other hand, having social status can also kill you during “dating” because it’s important to make her feel special which won’t happen if you seem to be preoccupied with other relationships.

The first way to prepare for a first date is to take care of the basics like hygiene, style, and being comfortable. Make sure your teeth are clean and you have fresh breath, make sure your body smells nice by wearing deodorant and cologne, wear clothing that fits you properly, and relax during the date. Again, she already likes you so don’t mess it up by missing one of the basics. If you have all these things handled than that will communicate to her that you’re a guy who takes care of himself and has his life together, which is absolutely necessary if you might be taking on the burden of taking care of someone else also.

Before you leave your place, visualize how the date is going to happen in a positive way. Imagine seeing her again and both of you smiling, imagine her loving the way you look and enjoying or laughing at everything you say, imagine how things are going to happen at the place you take her, and finally imagine how the date is going to end, whether it be a smile and a hug, a kiss, or sex. Whichever the outcome, make sure you are prepared.

Be completely honest 100% of the time. She already likes you so there’s no reason to try to make yourself sound cooler than you really are. She’s probably going to ask you questions about your major, your hobbies, and other things to find out more information about you and it’s very important that you are honest about it. A woman needs a man who she can trust so you need to be that man if you want the relationship to continue. If you think she looks pretty, tell her. If you think the date went really well and you want to hang out later in the week, tell her and make a suggestion.

Make decisions and be a leader. You are a man and if you have your life together and take what you want then you should be making all the first moves. If you want to go to the bar and have a drink, tell her. If you want to go somewhere after for dessert, tell her. If you want to go back to your place to show her something really cool, tell her. If you are really enjoying each others’ company and you think she is comfortable enough to kiss you, kiss her. If you end the date at a really comfortable location like one of your bedrooms and things are getting sexual, do what you have to do.

Understand that all women are individuals and treat them accordingly. Whatever happened in your past with women, either positive, negative, or both you shouldn’t let that affect a new opportunity with a new woman. Also understand that different women have different levels of comfort. Some get comfortable very early and some need more time. If you are a man who might be taking care of her in the future it is important that you are aware of her comfort levels and keep her happy.

Be a good listener. She already likes you so there is no reason to impress her by telling her more about yourself unless she asks. When the personality of a woman unfolds it is truly a beautiful thing and you will learn to appreciate the range of emotions and feelings she will be willing to share with you.

Finally, what happens between you two should stay between you two. Social reputation is something that a lot of young women have to deal with and you should respect that about her. Humans like to show different parts of their personalities around different people. For example you might be a student, an employee, a family person, an acquaintance, a friend, and a lover and it is important to most people that they show different sides of their personalities to different people.

For example, if I am dating a really amazing woman I might kiss her as soon as she walks in the door. If one of my guy friends comes over to watch a football game I’m not going to kiss him when he walks in the door.

Would you ever go to a doctor without a medical degree? No! So why would you ever take relationship advice from someone without great experiences? If you decide to share the details of your dating life than make sure to only listen to advice from people who are currently happy with his or her dating life.

Dating is all about being happy together with a person and having the opportunity to express yourself as a romantic person so you shouldn’t let anyone else get in the way of your being happy and if you keep the relationship details between the two of you then nothing can hold you back from being happy.

We all know opening is just the beginning this video covers it… However, it’s still an important part of game that you need to know. I prefer to go indirect, but it depends on the situation. Savoy makes some interesting comments about different types of openers: functional-which he teaches, harder to transition, lowest risk/lowest reward, direct- high risk (AIA- decision made right away), indirect, opinion- AIA made later

These are just a few more will be covered later. Want to learn more openers? Check out the Love Systems Routines Manual.

**AIA- Am I Attracted decision made by the target

Two weeks ago, I had the party and I made the reservations in advance and managed things much better. Reserved the restaurant and a room at the bar we went too. Next thing, after the bar I should have planned what we were going to do next since some people split up…

Overall, it was a good time. So, next time you throw a social circle event plan it in advance. Trust me!

Pissed Off Asian

Hey guys. Bolo here. As some of you may know, I’m an Asian guy. Some of our non-Asian readers may be asking, “So what?” Well I’m tell you…being an Asian guy in the dating world can be tough. All around us we see Asian girls with all types of guys…white, black, brown…but we don’t see Asian men with other races. Why is this? I use to blame the media, family upbringings, Asian tradition…But blame is useless and took the power out of my hands. So I began my PUA journey…3 years later and my life has changed. Nowadays, it’s easy for me to go out and get girls.

Then I came across Asian Dating Super Stars….This is the resource I wish I had starting out. It’s a dating product designed especially for Asian men. My man Ryker Koh has brought together the best Asian PUAs together to share their secrets. This is something I wish I had when I first started getting into Pick Up. I caught up with Ryker…

Ryker Koh Interview

1. Tell Us A Little About Yourself And How You Got Into Pickup

Hey my fellow Asian readers, my name is Ryker and I entered pickup and seduction by complete and total accident. I first decided to aggressively improve this area of my life after I witnessed the phenomenal success of one Asian friend of mine.

This Asian dude was just a ordinary, confident yet somewhat quiet guy, but when it came to talking to women, he was a freaking beast with women. This guy was absolutely sick.

He was one of those guys who was born with pin-point precise natural ability to just enter a conversation with just about any girl he met and get her attracted in minutes. And he wasn’t even doing any magic tricks, any NLP patterns, any direct-game. Heck, this was back in 2000 before the community was famous.

All this guy did was talk about plain, simple stuff like hobbies and her life, and his life and fashion and entertainment, just about pretty normal stuff. But man, did these girls stick to him like bees to a honey.

And all the time, I stood there wondering, man, these topics he talks about are plain as peas and even sometimes about as interesting as watching grass grow but how the heck was he getting all these crazy results.

So I cornered the guy and decided to ask him and the thing was this dude had no idea what he was doing right, so everytime I started asking him for advice, he would squint and look really confused and feed me pretty feeble advice like “Just be natural, just be cool” which thinking back now, was precisely what he was doing. But because I was so way off the mark in my own skills, I still wound up getting no success.

And it was until I began aggressively studying and practicing “live” in the field, crashing and burning multiple times before I actually got good. But every since I was young, I have been blessed with a pretty thick skin, so even though I was humiliated and left embarrassed more than a few times, I licked my emotional wounds and soldiered on.

Now, all the time, I had another group of Asian friends who were also studying pickup and these guys really bought just about every course on the market. And these guys were really studious, they flooded their brains with pickup theory and could recite routines backwards in their sleep.

But their dating lives were still disappointing. No love, no girls and they still led pretty sad and lonely lives.

So one day, I asked them – “Yo guys, you have been studying this stuff for close to 2 years now, why do you still go home to a dark, empty house and sleep in your bed alone every night?”

And then, slowly, they began revealing a lot of limiting beliefs they had about being Asian, the whole Asian culture, Asian parents, Asian upbringing and as they did so, I winced and felt their pain because I too am Asian, and I had to overcome these same issues too.

And I thought to myself – hey, it’s time for the Asian man to stop feeling sorry and pathetic for himself. It’s time to get some respect, hence I created Asian Dating Superstars.

2. Why do you think Asian men have such a hard time dating and can’t get white girls? And why do Asian girls always seem to go with white guys?

This is a freaking awesome question.

Now let me break this down.

Why do Asian men have such a hard time dating?

Here’s the 3 biggest reasons.

Firstly, they spend too much time worrying and fearing that girls will mock them and dislike them straight away because they are Asian. No kidding, before they walk up, they feel the girls are already against them.

Now, most guys I know have 2 reactions to this. The first group decideds to resign himself to this sad fate and they slink away into the darkness, too afraid to approach. The second react in anger and outrage, and they approach over-aggressively, like they have a point to prove, and therefore scare the poor girl off.

Both positions assume an immediate “under-dog” mindset – that being Asian is some limitation to overcome.

Now most Asian guys feel this way because the media has been a total asshole and has flooded movies with a ton of negative Asian male stereotypes. Asians in movies are either the loser who is teased and mocked at by guys and girls alike, or the kungfu master who spends the whole show kicking ass and mouthing heavily-accented Chinese.

uhh...yeah...

Both of which are not the most attractive of male characters.

And prolonged watching of this Hollywood garbage means that most Asian guys have slowly assimilated this poisonous identity. Add to that the very lack of positive Asian male stereotypes and you have a growing generation of Asian men who think that being nerdy and geeky is the meaning of being Asian, which is a bunch of horsecrap.

Now the whole Asian upbringing by our parents and the whole Asian culture as an entity is such that we value obedience, harmony and respect, more than being vocal, over-expressive and opinionated.

Most Asian guys reading this know that when you are young and you decide to get too cocky, your boldness is not praised but immediately punished with a slap across the face.

After a while, you learn that the best way to live is to be quiet, be obedient and not say too much. We play it safe, we don’t over-step the boundaries, and we work hard – which is all and good, but it is absolutely destructive when you bring that attitude to meeting women.

The common complaint white girls and even just girls have in general about Asian guys are they are just too quiet, too stoic, too non-expressive. They sit in the corner, have barely nothing to say, just stare at the girl and after a while, the girl is either creeped out or she just plain overlooks you and thinks you are transparent.

Heck, sometimes she might even forget your name, and that you even existed. And that sucks.

Finally, as a culture, Asian guys are born thinking and analyzing a lot more. Just look at the number of computer scientists, engineers and mathematicians we produce as a culture, we are born analytical and we can break things down quickly.

Asian men vs. White men

Now, while that’s good for getting through college, that sucks for talking to girls because most Asian guys spend the whole time, plotting their next move like playing Chinese Chess. They try to over-think the interaction, second-guess the girl when they should be paying attention to her.

The end result is the conversation gets awkward, or the girl just feels she is ignored and that you are not paying attention to her and she walks off in an angry puff, leaving you there standing all alone with your drink in your hand.

Now why do Asian girls go with white guys? It’s not a race issue, I am not going to over-generalize here because I know there are Asian girls who are only into white guys but most Asian girls as a whole have no specific preference.

They are just into confident guys who make them feel good. And since Asian guys are not doing as good a job as white guys, Asian girls naturally pick the next best alternative.

As a culture, Asian guys should stop hating on white guys for “stealing” Asian women, neither should we be hating for Asian women for being “traitors” and “sleeping with the enemy”. It’s precisely that kind of thinking that leads to Asian guys struggling and failing with women.

3. What are some things Asian men can do to improve their dating lives?

Great question again. Here’s what I suggest Asian guys do.

Firstly, the only and best way to break a a stereotype in your head is to find a strong role-model, so dominant and so completely different that just watching or listening to him completely and permanently smashes all limiting beliefs you ever had.

When you feel such a role model, so strong, so capable, so full of confidence and ability and you hear his stories, his thoughts and listen to him talk, you will immediately realize that all you once believed was false, and that being Asian is not a handicap, and that Asians can get good with women.

In my product Asian Dating Superstars, I don’t just provide you with one role model – I provide you with 12!

No kidding, 12 Asian guys who have had to rise from deeper ashes than most probably all the Asian readers reading this right now.

Some of them had to endure more shame, teasing, mocking, racist Asian comments than you can ever imagine, but each of them rose above these to become successful.

So when you listen to their stories and their thoughts, you begin to think – hey these guys are Asian, they understand how I feel but they too manage to succeed, maybe I can do this after all!

And you bet they understand how you feel, because they have the same, (if not deeper) emotional scars to prove it – and having walked the path you have walked, they can fix your issues faster than anyone else can.

The next important thing is to understand that reality can definitely be shifted and changed, but ONLY if you know how.

A lot of Asian guys have gone through their entire lives so far with no success with girls, and they automatically assume it’s lights out and game over for them. They assume they are destined to die single, and that no girl will even take a fancy to them.

WRONG!

Look, the 12 Asian dating coaches on my product each started in about the same bad shape as most Asian guys. Rejected left and right, girls avoiding them or toying with them before breaking their hearts, they have all been there.

But look where they are now, the same guys who used to laugh at them are now their students. You can be just as successful if you know how.

What I have done with Asian Dating Superstars is gotten them to reveal their own personal journey and transformation, and the very best of their personal learnings – and along the way, shatter every single one of the common limiting beliefs most Asian guys have that prevents them from succeeding.

Quite a few Asian guys carry a ton of emotional baggage when it comes to meeting and attracting women and you bet the women can sense it. They can smell if you have low-esteem, if you are afraid, if you don’t think much of yourself.

The key is after listening to the Asian Dating Superstar series, you will learn to drop a lot of this emotional baggage you’ve been carrying for so long, and begin to feel better about being an Asian male, regardless of what your past history is.

It’s like that strange moment of total clarity when you realize that yes, I can actually do this and you feel absolute self-confidence.

And one final piece of advice is this. You have to take risks.

Quit being too safe, too obedient, there are times when there is an opportunity you want right in front of you, and you have to squash everything else and go and grab it.

Screw being obedient all the time, sometimes when fear pops up, you gotta kick it in the balls and just charge forward to get what you want. You gotta be bigger than your fear.

Go do it, and don’t think. Who cares what they think? Please yourself first, and if you really want to do something, go ahead and do it, without fear or need of approval.

In Asian Dating Superstars, I get the 12 Asian coaches to reveal how they used highly-effective techniques to re-wire their previously negative and harmful thinking, and enable them to achieve great confidence with women.

With this, you will learn how to get in touch with your natural masculine self and build unstoppable confidence. The fears and insecurities you had previously will melt away and you will find that your hands stop shaking, your teeth stop chattering and you stop shivering or stammering when you talk to girls.

You will be more expressive, more fluid and more natural.

I have not seen any other program out there this specific for the Asian population. I am Asian and I have been in the dumps before, girls rejecting me like I was invisible and transparent so I know exactly how Asian guys feel.

I am going to go one step further and say this – if you want to stop being rejected by women, stop feeling insecure about being Asian, stop leaving parties and social events feeling shitty and disappointed with your lack of confidence, you will find the solution right here.

Do it for yourself. You deserve it this time.

It’s time for Asian men to stop feeling sorry for themselves and to dust themselves up and get the respect we have always deserved, both as an individual and as a culture.

And I feel the journey begins here.

Lovedrop does a great video on home makeovers:

Your home doesn’t need to mirror this home. In fact some people might find it a little eerie with his taste in lighting schemes and such. But his underlying principles are very important.

Here are some important things that help slide down panties:

Welcoming Rug

When your girl is inclined to remove her shoes herself, it says a lot about your house. It shows how inviting your house is and also comfort is established. Just as Lovedrop stresses how this is a big step; it is definitely a stepping stone for panties to come flying off.

An Inviting Bed

Where do most people fuck? Have a bed so inviting that upon entering your room your girl will pounce on it like a lion on an antelope.  Immediately some barriers are broken and she will feel a lot more comfort. Making you bed look fluffy will do the trick!

Abundance is Key

Have spare towels in the bathroom. Have spare toilet papers in the bathroom. Have spares of anything the girl will use. Believe it or not, they will search your bathroom as if it is programmed in their heads. They can rest assure when abundance is present.

Keep Your Room Neat

Once again, nobody likes a slob. A dirty room will turn anyone off. Keeping your room and house neat will give the impression that you’ve got your shit together.

Source of Music

Isn’t music awesome? You can definitely set the mood of the atmosphere with music. Maybe it can muffle out the sounds your girl will be screaming when shit is going down.

Interested in being the next top pick-up artist?

Being a pick-up artist, isn’t only about picking up women. It’s about building a lifestyle around you where you will be happy and achieve the goals you desire. When I first joined the community in 2004, I thought that being a pick-up artist was just about picking up women. Sure, we do have a goal in mind and that is picking up women, but there are many other factors involved. Like, what type of pick up artist you will be?

Now, in 2009 I have a better idea of who I am as a pick-up artist to give new people an idea about this community and what we do. So, you want to pick up girls? Well, my first advice would be to find a reputable company that offers bootcamps. I waited until later to do this, but I wish I would have done it earlier. First, it offers you a good support system. Second, bootcamps offer you a program that will not only make you a better pick-up artist, but change your life. There are good companies offering bootcamps in the States.

Besides taking a bootcamp, what other factors can you improve on? I liked to take my weaker areas and improve on them. I was always good at nightgame, but I wanted to improve on my daygame. Daygame is where you go to meet girls during the day. This can be done at coffee shops, bookstores, and the street. Daygame is fun because most guys don’t approach women during the day. And the cool thing is, you can have success from approaching a girl during the day. I recommend approaching in high traffic areas. For example, coffee shops that get lots of traffic.

I mentioned nightgame previously. This is where I started my journey in pick-up. Nightgame is easier for most guys because they can have alcohol to approach. This is something that they can’t do during the day. When I go out, I try to limit my alcohol intake. This is because drinking too much can make your sarges sloppy. Then, the next day you will be thinking did I really do that? The good thing is if you limit your alcohol intake you can do better.

There is also social circle an advanced form of game, but one of the better ways to have women in your life. Social circle is great because once you have it the work is done for you for the most part. Going out to a club or a bar with tons of people including good looking girl can trigger attraction switches in other girls around the venue. Not only that, but you always have your social circle to rely on. A good tip for social circle is to just start going out and meeting people. Be cool and social and invite them out with you. There’s a lot more ground to cover, but if your seriously looking at becoming a pick-up artist or have thought of it you have come to the right place.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

Pick Up Artist are generally viewed in a negative light. One PUA who courts this controversy is Roosh, who expresses his strong opinions on his blog. Roosh is a PUA who gained popularity after writing about the D.C. dating scene. Now he has moved on to South America to continue his adventures. We got to chat with Roosh.

Basic Questions
1) How did you get into pickup?

I was reading a business forum in 2001 when someone randomly posted a link to Tony’s Layguide. As I was not getting laid, I studied the guide for a couple months then tried out some of the techniques. They worked and I just kept going.

2) What is your dating philosophy?

No matter what stage of the game you are at right now or how ugly you are there is a girl out there that will fuck you and the only way to find her is to keep approaching until you succeed. The mere act of approaching is the most important thing a guy can do.

3) How did you get good at dating to become an authority on it?

I’m sure there are tons of guys who are better than me, but my skill comes in explaining it in a clear way that other guys can understand and apply it to their own lives. Everyone knows a natural who bangs tons of women but who has retarded advice like “Be yourself” or “Smile.” He can never be an authority because he has no clue what works and what doesn’t. On the other hand I feel like I  know what will help the average guy.

4)What do you think guys greatest mistake with women is?

They’re too needy. You can see it in their eyes when they’re talking to a girl—it’s like everything collapses in the background and the sole reason for his existence is to give this new girl his undivided attention. This goes hand-in-hand with confidence issues because a guy who thinks he doesn’t deserve a hot girl will wet his pants if he just finds himself in a conversation with one. He sinks her claws in her and of course it turns her off. I think a lot of guys can be served well by adopting an aloof and indifferent mindset.

5) In your experience, what is the best place to find a quality girlfriend?

It depends on the guy and what he wants. If quality to me is a Latin girl who loves to dance then I’d hit the salsa clubs. If I want a girl-next-door bookworm then the coffee shop. If I want a vapid, hot girl then I’d go to the club. A guy needs to find out what he wants and then figure out the place that has it. There is no magic place that has a neverending supply of quality.

6) What are some ways to enlarge your social circle?

Be cool. Do you think a cool guy has to think about ways to expand his social circle? No because other people are trying to hang out with him, calling him on Saturday afternoon trying to figure out his plans. The better question is how can you be an interesting person to both guys and girls so that they want to hang out with you.

7) What was your life like when you weren’t good with women? What is it like now?

I played computer games (Warcraft, Starcraft) and poker with other guys who also sucked with women. It was a vicious cycle: hanging out with guys who were just as bad as I was, our skill never improving. I still believed that one day I’d get lucky and meet a hot girl who would find my lack of confidence, self-esteem, and conversational ability endearing. I also believed that being friends with a girl first was the best way to have sex with her. It never worked. Whereas then it was a huge deal to have an interaction with a pretty girl, it’s less significant now. I work on many girls at the same time and always have options. If one girl is acting flakey then it’s no big deal because there are others I can get with.

8 ) What is one of your favorite techniques/tactics?

Breaking up with her. In the course of our first conversation there is going to be something that highlights one of our differences (e.g. she likes dogs and I like cats). Then I tell her that while we had some good times, I can’t continue the relationship and it’s best if we go our separate ways (while holding her hand or touching her in some way). I’m in Colombia now and I made sure to translate this little routine into Spanish.

9) Do you use props? If so, what gets the most reactions?

I don’t use props, but I think my beard and mop-like haircut is a prop in itself.

10) What is your biggest sticking point?

Sometimes there is a girl I want to talk to but I tap into my experience and determine that, based on my previous approaches in this type of situation, the interaction will not go well and I should just save my energy by not doing anything. In effect I feel like I can predict the future, but of course no one can and I probably cost myself quite a bit by pretending I know how things would turn out. I make things harder on myself by overthinking.

11) What pick up artist has inspired you the most? What did you learn from them?

I would say David D’Angelo. His “cocky and funny” concept was very easy to understand and implement, and did the most to help me understand how attraction works. I’ve toned down the cocky quite a bit and found that humor alone is just as potent assuming you are confident. If not then you will come across as silly or goofy.

12) Describe the moment when your realized you need to work on this part of your life.

It was my last year in college and I asked a girl out to the movies, but she said she was busy. Two weeks later I saw her on campus holding hands with another guy and I realized that I had to make some changes if I wanted to get the girls I wanted.

13) What advice do you give to newbies starting out?

Hit the gym. It’s the most reliable way to improve a guy’s confidence, and he’s going to need every bit he can when it’s time to walk up to girls.

14) In your experience, what is the biggest issue for guys getting attraction from women?

Just being normal. Lot of guys are studying all these lines and routines and it comes across as weird and sometimes creepy. If you observe naturals, they’re having a normal conversation with just a few jokes or cocky bits thrown in, but not everything they’re saying is game. Being a normal, confident guy who can have a laugh is usually all you need to get laid with cute girls.

15) What are you goals for the community? Your life?

When it comes to the community I think guys need to be careful about who they idolize. Because no one guy is going to have the answers (including myself), they should pick and choose the advice that fits their personality or lifestyle best. I understand this is a big business now but guys should be skeptical of everyone. I’m at the stage of my life where I have a lot of experiences that I can share, and that I know helps others. I like passing wisdom I’ve learned.

Specialized Questions

1) Why did you choose to come to South America?

It came down to money and language. The two other parts of the world that I was interested in was Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, but I really loved how in South American I only needed to know two languages to get by. Plus I like women with darker, tanned features and curvy bodies, which South America has.

2) What’s the difference between sarging in North America and South America?

The logistics are about five times easier in N. America. Girls have their own apartments. They like to drink (a lot). They don’t have to be home by a certain hour. They don’t hang out in huge groups. They aren’t strict Catholics. And most importantly, they speak the same language as you do. I think a lot of guys have the view that getting laid while traveling is easier, but that’s only the case if you have a lot of trouble getting laid in your own country. If you think you’re going to visit a new city every few days and get laid in each one, you will be sorely disapointed. You’re going to need your own cell phone, you’re going to need time to find places that have the girls, and you’re going to need your own place (or at least know where there is a love motel). Otherwise you’ll be counting on luck quite a bit.

I’m still surprised that being a gringo hurts more than it helps. The quality girls that you want are not looking for some one night fling with a guy she can barely communicate with. She wants that connection too. If you don’t want to dip into the dregs with the poor girls, you’ll have to work quite hard for quality. That includes studying the local language and building roots in one city for an extended period of time.

3) What country do you like best and why? What about women-wise?

My favorite country is Brazil. The country itself doesn’t is an oddball in S. America because it’s so much more colorful and exciting than all the other countries (and dangerous too, unfortunately). It’s a happy place to be in, and while it’s the most expensive country in S. America I think it’s worth it. The women are extremely sensual. They know how to dress and walk, and most importantly of all, please a man. Once you go Brazilian, you don’t go back. And yes, they like gringos.

4) Can you relate a success story about one of your clients?

When I was in the States I was teaching a day game workshop every weekend. I had two students at a time and one of my students was attending a small college. He had practically no approach experience. I ran the lecture and then we went out to various venues like the coffee shop, clothing store, and eventually the street. Now the street is the hardest place to pick up a girl, but there he picked up a very cute girl using the material I taught him. I hear from him every few weeks and he tells me how much progress he’s making. I want to take all the credit, but of course I know that a lot of guys simply need a nudge in the right direction. He’s doing things now that I didn’t teach him and that’s because his early successes keeps pushing him to approach and continue. In only one year I know he’s going to be very good.

5) Why did you choose the name Roosh?

Roosh is my nickname that I’ve had since high school. I probably should have thought harder about using it online because girls google “roosh” often and my blog is the first result. It gets me into trouble all the time.

6) What are your fundamental teachings?

Approach indirectly in large numbers to aquire the experience needed to know how to talk to a girl and make her laugh. Learn the little tricks that take the interaction from one stage to the next. Don’t worry about quality until you get a solid grasp of how the game works.

7) How do you differ from other dating coaches?

I think I’m less of a sell out. I put out a quality book at a low price and genuinely want to help guys. Even my workshop was so cheap that a bunch of my students said I should charge more. Others have helped me when I was coming up and I want to return the favor. I’d do it for free if I had a trust fund or lottery winnings.

8 ) Your known as a misogynist / sexist pig in the community. How do you respond to that?

I think it’s disingenuous to say you love women but want to have sex with a lot of them. It’s a fact that the less you value women, the more you see them as worthless whores, the more of them you will have sex with. I’ve simply adopted the right mindset for my goals. Guys who think women are flawless princesses will not get many bangs out of the game.

9) You’re a well-known blogger (enough to get a parody site). What can you tell us about blogging and your blog?

I’ve had a blog in one form of another since college but things really took off when I focused on the Washington DC area and blogged almost exclusively about girls and nightlife. Gradually the audience grew to where I was making enough money from advertising and book sales to quit my job. I don’t make nearly as much as when I worked, but it’s enough to live in a third-world country such as Colombia or Argentina. My current blog is going on its fifth year, and while it doesn’t bring me as much joy as it used to (at times it feels like a job), I still have a lot of things that I want to share. I may blog less in the future but I don’t think I’ll stop it completely.

10) Tell me about your products.

Right now I only have my book Bang. I wrote it when I felt confident enough about the level of my game that my knowledge would be worth paying for. It has five chapters: Internal Game, Early Game, Middle Game, Late Game, and End Game, and describes step-by-step what you need to do to from the appraoch to sealing the deal. I even talk about the order you should remove a girl’s clothes in bed, something that I haven’t seen other guys do.

11) What are your plans for the future?

I’m working on a memoir now about my previous trip to South America which I hope to be done with by fall of 2009. After that I start work on a day game book, and I have other ideas for books in the future. I think book writing is what I will be focusing my time on for the next couple years, until I get into straight-up pimping.
