A RooshV Website Update: Oh My How Things Have Changed!
Below is a review of Roosh V and his website I did back in 2008. Looking back now in 2020, a lot has happened in the life of Roosh.
As you will probably be able to tell in my review from 2008 below, I really enjoyed reading his thoughts and ideas. He was crude but sincere, deep yet surfacy, troubling but titillating. Above all, Roosh was entertaining and filterless, which you see far too infrequently now-a-days.

They are, like, surprised, you know, that they are unable to, like, get the job that they want…you know.

She speculated that, at this point in her life, she was dormant. Her femininity was there and ready to be activated but, currently, she had no libido.
