BANG POLAND GETS FIVE STARS
by rivelino
i could write ten pages on roosh, and not just because he is such an important figure in the manosphere, but also because i identify with him a lot, and also because he is someone that i haven't entirely figured out.
okay, i don't identify with him that much, but some. he is another "ethnic american" who grew up as a minority, and who was a smart, hard working, nice guy who got fed up with the system -- both the corporate system, and the feminist system -- and decided to ditch the USA and explore other parts of the world.
i have soaked up a lot of game advice in two years, read tons of blogs, and i have see other writers come and go, grow up and evolve, disappear entirely (johnny milfquest, where are you?), but roosh -- in my mind, roosh every day becomes more roosh.
as far as i can tell, roosh is obsessed with two things:
1. getting laid
2. becoming an excellent writer
obsession #1 has taken him a bunch of different countries, discovering new cultures, analyzing them, synthesizing them, and ultimately understanding them through their women. his writings on argentina, brazil, colombia, denmark, poland -- and hopefully, soon, paris -- make these cultures come alive in a way they don't anywhere else.
here's a quick example.
read this wikipedia entry on denmark:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark
wait, don't. it's boring as fuck.
but now read this, roosh's take on denmark and jante law:

see what i mean?
obsession #2, well let's just say this motherfucker reads a lot of books, almost always book with an anti establishment, subversive angle, and he is becoming a real expert in the social sciences -- and a damn good writer.
combine roosh's tremendous output from obsessions #1 and #2, and who benefits? all of us.
at the same time, lately -- and seemingly all at once -- three PUAs i admire -- yohami, the rawness, and krauser -- have all turned to deeper, more "philosophical" aspects of inner game, like finding true happiness by overcoming ego. tyler durden took a similar path with the blueprint. kind of makes sense. after fucking 50 girls (like krauser) or 200 girls (like yohami), i guess after a while, most of us start searching for something more.
but not roosh!
at least, not publicly. and that makes him either less fascinating, or more fascinating, i can't decide. he is still obsessed with getting more and more pussy. he is a fuck machine. a hairy, horny fuck machine :-)
will he ever fall in love, the way krauser did? will he go searching for an idyllic paradise, the way tyler durden did by moving to hawaii? will he stop going out searching for pussy, and stop writing about game, and instead start psychoanalyzing himself, like ricky raw and yohami are doing?
who knows.
in the end, roosh may not be as important to the community as roissy -- no one ever could be -- but roosh deserves tons of credit for being a pioneer in applying game concepts to other cultures. also, his books, blog, and forum are all so professional -- he is a pioneer in making game a viable business. to use bill simmons's rating system, i definitely feel roosh belongs on the mount rushmore of game.
anyway, enough rambling, let's talk about bang poland.
simply put, i think the book is brilliant, for all the reasons stated above, as well as for the very specific and useful details about this random EE country which i all of a sudden find very interesting. probably the best summary i could write is what i wrote to roosh himself a few days ago, while i was still halfway through the book:
"roosh, the robbery of all robberies is a HOT story. i am 58 pages in and i can't stop reading. this book is excellent. your writing and storytelling has gotten really fucking good. congratulations man. looking forward to finishing this book and reviewing it on the forum -- and also looking forward to getting my ass to poland!"
can you hear the enthusiasm and excitement? that's the enthusiasm of a man who is looking forward to visiting poland next month -- even if it *is* in the middle of the summer.
thanks roosh.
keep up the great work.
