Mike F. says,         [Roosh] has effectively bundled all his techniques, routines, and theories about getting laid into a 140 page textbook simply called Bang.         In Bang, Roosh first lays out the proper mindset needed to approach girls. Packed with personal anecdotes and biological reasonings for why women and men act the way they do, he lays out an encouraging case for any young male who has not been as successful as he wishes to. [Roosh] then spends the next four chapters going over "Early Game," "Middle Game," "Late Game," and then "End Game." Every contingency is accounted for, from being "cockblocked," to dealing with girls who put up a seemingly impenetrable wall of resistance.         [Roosh] attacks the female psyche like a scientist, using the scientific method to try hundreds of possible moves on his way to developing his plan for success for even the most acne-clad Dungeons and Dragons fans out there. He has clearly spent his entire adult life honing his "game," and the reader is the beneficiary with this excellent book. He uses metaphors and relatable analogies to make all his points crystal clear, outlining what should be the obvious, but for many helpless guys passes as new material. His frank talk about sex is refreshing and well-needed in a society in which openness about any sort of sexual activity or desires is censored from the public discourse.         The book is also funny at times, with my particular favorite moment being his analogy that if a girl resists one of your moves in the bedroom, act like your character just died in a video game and simply hit the "restart" button. [Roosh] clearly knows his target audience (16-35 year old males, mostly), and this analogy is both humorous and helpful.         My only criticism is with the relative brevity of the book (110 pages plus appendix), and the comically precise advice he gives on women (one example is to call women between 8 and 9 pm). Parts read like he is describing how to conduct a scientific experiment. The book would have been better served if he gave more room for improvisation and discretion of the male "player." But for any guy who is single and not having as much luck as he feels he should, it is a must read. It is a book I wish I had read years ago, and one in which I would include in my summer reading list if I was a high school administrator (luckily for society, I will probably not hold the power to choose summer reading lists.)         Any book that can help level the sexual playing field between men and women is a welcome addition to any self-respecting bachelor's library. The take home message is that getting "lucky" is not about luck at all. With the right approach, the right attitude, and a few well-timed moves, any guy can take control of his own nightlife and be freed from constant anxiety and depression about unrequited loves.

The Boston Bachelor says,         Roosh, formerly known as “DC Bachelor,” runs a personal blog dedicated to his tales and travels (with an emphasis on sex and women, of course) at www.RooshV.com. The 28 year-old former microbiologist spent most of his life frustrated with his lack of success with women until one fateful spring day in 2001–when he discovered the innocuously-titled Tony’s Lay Guide after clicking through a random link on a message board.         Now six years and countless encounters later, Roosh has written his own instruction manual on rounding-the-bases with the opposite sex. Now, the question you’re probably pondering is: Does this guy know what he’s talking about?         I believe so. Bang is a dense but informative read, full of advice even the most weathered Casanovas and “pick-up artists” can appreciate. The book wastes no time in breaking things down bit-by-bit from the approach to the date to the bedroom. For those of you who are more familiar with the whole “pick-up community,” Bang strikes a good balance between the structured, sequential “Mystery Method” and the more free-flowing “Charisma Arts.”         If there’s one chapter that stands out more than others, it’s the one titled “Late Game,” which breaks down the step-by-step (or article of clothing-by-article of clothing) journey from the end of the date to the end of the orgasm. The chapter titled “Internal Game” is another highlight, as it discusses the most powerful sexual magnet of all–the human mind. The odds-and-ends Appendix also serves up a great variety of tidbits, from approaching girls in cars to dealing with girls who suck (in a bad way) in the sack. I do wish that more specifics on body language and its importance were presented in the book–a minor complaint, all in all.

Jon S. says,         ROOSH, can i just first and foremost say, I started reading your book and it is fucking AMAZING. Seriously it's as helpful as it is HILARIOUS. It's so good that I have been reading it to all my friends and family as they come into the room. On a sidenote i tore all the ligaments in my ankle this past monday playing lacrosse so i will not see you in starbucks for a while. But anyways, so now that i have been sitting a lot and getting visitors i take every chance i get to read random portions of the book to anyone and everyone lol         I carry it around everywhere in my handcap-backpack when i go out and its still in it's original bag i value it so much. I've been jumping around the book because i cannot control my excited little self as i read the book, my eyes cannot help but wonder to other pages. i was thinking to myself, "shit, i am going to read this book slowly and savor this work of art masterpiece so it will last longer. I am going to be disappointed when i stop reading" but then i came to your blog and realized its just as good. All i have to say is youve got me hooked on ur writing and you better keep this website or my life will be dull and uncolorful once again       Thanks for the survival guide roosh.
