1st post - let’s keep it brief.

I’m a long time lurker in what currently we call the manosphere. Starting ‘08, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing how this male space has evolved, starting with good old book of Pook up until the many iterations and changes to what rooshvforum has grown into.

To be honest I think the desire to finally actually register and contribute, rather than passively benefit from the great knowledge shared over the years, is due to the changes we are seeing in game in 2018 and how it’s difficult to separate being a red-pill aware man from the cultural environment around us. For all intents and purposes great game nowadays needs to be culturally aware, and cultural awareness doesn’t mean a lot if you are not impacting the environment around you. ‘Game’ itself is also becoming harder to define, with many folks struggling to build the personal lives they want, while others are doing the best they can to adapt to the new environment in which they need to raise their children - all while we describe the actions of both as ‘game’.

As such I think it’s important to both participate in the male space intellectually (i.e. contribute to these discussions) and practically (meet like-minded man and create local communities). This is the start of me doing a little bit of both.

Hey guys. 27 y/o from NYC. I've been around the community for years now, and I'm looking to get more involved.

Also, why can I not make posts to the newbie board or the main board?

[EmpireState]

I still don't have permission to make new threads on any board. Anyone know how I can get that permission?

Hey everyone,

I got out of a 2 year relationship, she cheated on me. Decided to learn game to get back at it and I came across roosh.

That being said I don't have a problem with approaching, but my texting game and ability to create comfort are lacking.

Why does it take me 30 minutes to post again and why can't I start threads. I was banned the last time I was here because of 50 post rules but now whats wrong. I said I was sorry.

Hey All!

Hey Players!

I've been in the pickup community for almost 9 years and I used to go out consistently (4+ days a week). Over the past 2 years or so, business has gotten in the way of that. Now that I have that under control and have more free time on my hands, I'm here to improve my skills and try to rebalance the scales between game, business, fitness, and other goals I have set for myself. I used to be intermediate but I'm looking to knock the rust off and am gung-ho about pursuing my pickup goals and connecting with some awesome peeps along the way. I'm looking to learn as much as possible from all of you and am completely open to criticism whether it be online or in person. See ya around!

Hey all,

I'm a 25 year old that's new to the game. I'm based in Manhattan and looking for nearby guys to sarge and learn from. Let me know if anyone's interested.

I'm a 20 y/o virgin and I was wondering what I should be doing to get pussy.

[B-Minus]

Hello forum members, whaaats happening. I just recently found the red pill and swallowed it, though it is still being digested. 20 year game newbie, thus a virgin. Mostly here to learn game after realizing that as a man, in order to feel happy in life and satisfy base urges I need to be able to seduce women, thus being an incel is not an option.

I'm enjoying Game in both formats. I've also been listening to the KingMaker archive.

On the cast, Roosh often asks callers what their rating is. How is this evaluated?

I just came across this thread, i have been posting for about a week and a half, and have already learned a lot.

Look forward to learning more on "The Game"

I was typing this up in the 'old dudes' thread but it ended up being more of a monologue about myself, so pasting here instead

I just turned 50 in August. I've taken good care of myself, for the most part - maybe a little too much wine some days - but overall doing well. Just one 81mg ASA per day, no other meds. Dated a 34yo Fijian hottie back in June, for a couple weeks (she turned out to be especially crazy, so dropped her quick), and recently had a very attractive Siberian lady visit for ten days (48yo, curvy and very traditional). I'm told all the time that I look like I'm in my mid to late 30s.

I think that once I turned 40, I really started taking my own advice seriously re: having a balance in life. I went back to school to pursue my advanced degree in my field (I'm a psych RN). I continued to learn to cook different cuisines from around the world. I've been pushing harder in the gym because I want to hold onto the muscle that I have. I travel several times a year, often completely on my own, to recharge and unwind. I'm an artist, as well, and have been getting back into painting and playing my bass guitar. I got out of an unhappy marriage and am on my own now, with good relationships with my daughters.

I've made tons of mistakes and have regrets, as well. Most of the dumb decisions I've made have revolved, in some way or another, around women, as in emotional spending versus taking care of myself and my future first. I'm starting over again financially, thanks to the divorce - yes, same old story - but feeling like with some hard work, and a bit of luck next year, I'll be on track to retire around age 60. My former life in USMC helped me tremendously wrt maintaining resolve and discipline.

I really wish these forums had been around for me to read and respond to way back when, 25 years ago. I needed a good knock on the head back then, because I was the kid that was always putting the pussy up on the pedestal. Now, at best, I look at these girls so desperate for attention, or having zip for self-esteem despite looking like a million bucks, and I'm just sad for them. They're helpless against the hamster wheels. Social media has created a monstrosity of a culture. In some ways they are like fish in a barrel.

Good to meet you all here. I'm glad I found this place. Cheers - Todd in NorCal

Hello everyone! I'm from Latvia, I'm under 30, and I just started to learn pickup game. Recently finished local training but still have some questions. That's actually why I'm here. Would be happy to discuss game related questions with you, guys. Hopefully administator will approve my account so I can make topics here. Admin?

Hi everyone!

After reading Rollo Tomassi's "The Rational Male", I wanted to know more about the red pill community. I started to watch loads of Youtube videos about gender dynamics and eventually got a suggestion for Roosh's videos.

I see now that I've been blue pilled all my life, with some exceptional periods in which I didn't care about women's feelings and got more than I expected (emotionally and sexually).

My goal here is to beat my blue pill conditioning to a pulp and try to become a better man.

Cheers

Hello everyone! I’m a 29 yr old Paki dude. Born and raised in Queens NYC. New to the forum but not new to game.

Question: how can I start my own thread? Not letting me do that in the ‘Game’ section. Got my something on my mind I wanted to get folks’ opinion on.

[Peppers]

Hey. I've been reading the forum for a few years and I appreciate this place a lot. I don't know anywhere else with this kind of honest advice. Thank you.

At this point in my journey I'd love to meet some of you and make real friendships.

I'm from Finland, but that place never felt right. I feel much more connected to England where I went to school as a kid. I finally ditched Finland for good some seven years ago and won't be going back. I'm happy I left.

I lived in Vietnam for a year or so, travelled all around Asia and Europe and settled in Russia for a while. Right now I'm in Ukraine. I speak Russian quite well and love both Russia and Ukraine, even with all their challenges.

I'm 38. Girls think I'm 25—30 depending on the country. Had a few girlfriends in Russia from 20 years old and up. I'm not looking for lots of girls and I tend to go without a girl unless I can get one that I'm VERY attracted to. I guess my learning has been slow because of that, but I also think that, in some way, my ideal girls sense it and appreciate it.

I was completely delibitated for a long while by approach anxiety, a history of being bullied and ostracised, and by a bad relationship with an emotionally blocked woman back in Finland. A bit of coaching from Andy Yosha got me back on track, and while I've had plenty of a struggles in the past years, I love meeting girls, making them smile and making them feel appreciated.

The biggest challenge for me has always been finding a girl that I like. I wouldn't say I have "high" standards as such: some very plain girls look like angels to me, girls who would never be a model or a beauty contest winner. But I do have to look for them, sometimes for months. Russia and Ukraine seem to have them most often out of all the places I've been, although I keep wanting something a bit different, like an Ukrainian girl who's just a bit darker and softer and with more delicate features. Mix a slavic girl with just a hint of Vietnamese or Latin and that could be it, although I also like those ethereal northern Russian girls.

I'm ready for my dream girl to show up, I'd love to take her and make her my wife. I don't mind dating and having fun with other girls in the process, but all the choices I make now are to create opportunities to meet that one girl. Wouldn't mind having kids in the next five years. Teach them to walk silently in the woods, play music with them, cook them great food, earn enough money to let my beautiful wife run in the meadows in a summer dress.

^^My story similar to Peppers' s above. Except I'm from Canada, moved to Brazil 3 years ago after a bitter divorce and that's when I discovered the red pill and game. Been enjoying Brazil ever since but for personal reasons I will have to go back to Canada soon, plus Brazil is fucked up at the moment and I don't think Bolsonaro can save the country from bankruptcy and soaring criminality. Time will tell but I'm out. Obviously I like latinas but I've had success with Black girls in the past, too. Ill write a datasheet on Belo Horizonte if Rooshers are interested, used to be my favorite city by far in Brazil
