A RooshV Website Update: Oh My How Things Have Changed!

roosh-v-website-reviewBelow 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.

Like, You Know

like you knowI am, like, sitting in the café, you know, next to two girls, who use “Like” and “You Know” every other word.

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

And, like, I just don’t understand it.  You know.

It’s like employers don’t understand brevity.

Sex and The Three Different Types of Women

women-sexual-preferencesI recently had a Skype chat with my friend Lynne about sex and the 3 categories of women.

Lynne is French, resides in London, and she runs a Sex in the City type of blog about being single in the city of London.   She mentioned to me that she had not had sex in awhile.  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.  She joked that she should rename her blog No Sex in The City.

So, I said:  “I wonder what category you fall into?”
