I got some of his books. They are good and have valuable advice. He is smart, but honest? I don't know. He's probably not an easy to get along with guy though, and he has no spiritual side, which means he is probably shallow and materialistic.drronnie wrote: I think I should read more Roosh's stuff. I think he makes it quite clear that if you are socially awkward and average to sub average looking you would have a hard time connecting with a girl regardless in what country you are living in.
I am in Thailand and actually there are plenty of fish here and I am not the ugliest guy and I am fluent in Thai. But my social awkwardness prevents me from connecting.
"Socially awkward" is subjective and relative and dependent on context. I am considered socially awkward in California because I don't act fake and "cool". I don't fit the high school environment because I'm not into cliques and snobbishness, so I'm socially awkward there too. I am awkward with American girls too, because I don't vibe with airheads or fake girls who are out of touch with reality.
I am also socially awkward in Taiwan because I have no way of connecting to Taiwanese people. They don't talk to me and don't talk to strangers, they just ignore me because to them, a stranger is a stranger and is to be ignored, same attitude as in America. In a sense, the average young Taiwanese is far more socially awkward than me because they are afraid to talk to strangers but I am not. I've worked many sales/marketing jobs and have talked to literally THOUSANDS of strangers and am very comfortable with it. I've also talked to many strangers in the 14 countries I've been in too. I have 100 times more confidence than the average Taiwanese person, who is painfully shy and doesn't know how to talk to strangers or connect with others outside their small social clique. I'm a very open person, and some don't like that, especially those who are not. So I am not socially awkward, they are. They refuse to talk to me, not me them.
However, in Russia and China I can connect with women easily and talk for long times without awkwardness. It is more natural and smooth to connect with women there. They are very genuine and down to earth and we are on the same wavelength. When you are on the same wavelength, it's easier to talk and connect of course. Also when you can be yourself, you become more outgoing and extroverted. So in Russia and China I am a lot more extroverted than in the US or Taiwan, where I cannot even be myself or talk to strangers because it's abnormal to do so. Even in the Philippines, I can talk to simple minded uneducated Filipinas for as long as I want, smoothly and comfortably.
My close friend Rock is also considered socially awkward with American girls, especially white American girls. He cannot connect with them at all. He cannot vibe with their universe. But with Asian girls in Asia, he can talk for hours smoothly and keep a conversation going forever if he wanted to. I've seen it firsthand. So you see, it all depends on context.
