Warning Signs

If I see these around a girl then I mentally prepare to be disappointed in some way…

Flip flops – “I don’t need to put effort into my appearance.”

Hybrid automobile – “I can pollute the environment with a clear conscious.”

Eat, Pray, Love – “I will read what every other girl my age reads.”

Dog – “I can only get unconditional love from an animal.”

Condoms in nightstand – “I don’t keep track of how many guys I fucked.”

iPod – “I need to be constantly distracted.”

Carryout styrofoam container – “Why cook when you can just go out and buy?”

Vitamin water or vitamins – “I will undo smoking, tanning and drinking with magic water and pills.”

Ikea furniture – “I like overpaying for something that my friends have.”

Keffiyeh scarf – “I need my individuality to be defined by others.”

Blackberry – “My career is everything I have.”

Pearl necklace – “My wedding will cost $50,000.”

Cable television – “I am a passive receptacle of corporate marketing.”

Last American girl I dated had eight of these warning signs. Last Brazilian girl? Zero.

Some of these things seem pretty harmless. iPods and flip flops are too commonplace to have much meaning, IKEA furniture can be reasonably priced and not indicative of anything, who doesn’t have cable or satellite TV, the pearl necklace might be a family heirloom, and so on. A girl would have to have a lot of these together, like the girl who had eight of them, for you to draw any meaningful conclusions.

On the other hand, the hybrid car might by itself be a bad sign.

But…what if the keffiyah is authentic and was given to her by a Palestinian man she met while she interviewed his wife for the book she is writing? What if the styrofoam container is regularly recycled and she’s bringing a favorite food to a sick friend? What if Eat, Pray, Love was a gift from a friend who doesn’t read so much, she read half of it, considers it trash and is waiting for it to sell on her Used Books Ebay account? What if the pearl necklace is the only thing she has left of her mother?

Lately I’ve been seeing girls matching the color of the flip flops to the shirt they’re wearing. I’m not angry anymore. It just makes me feel sad.

Umm…

1) most Brazilian women have SEVERAL pairs of flip flops
2) condoms on the night stand is being SAFE not slutty.
3) Ditto what the first guy said

Peter – I don’t have cable TV or satellite television. Why? Because I have a life that doesn’t involve sitting in front of the TV, passively accepting what the various television channels want to feed me. I get virtually all my news from multiple sites on the Internet, with at least one international news site thrown in the mix (typically BBC).

As for entertainment, Netflix is a great deal, as all of the shows are commercial-free. True, I have to wait six months for something to come out on video, but that’s a small price to pay to avoid commercials and not having to wait another week for the next episode to air. Netflix also offers quite a few shows and movies on demand (commercial free), so I don’t have to wait for a DVD in the mail.

In the end, I can find far more things to spend $65/month on instead of cable/satellite TV. That amount of money buys a monthly gym membership, Netflix subscription, Internet connection (DSL) and XM radio.

@ Anonymous 6 -

It’s good for you that you manage fine without cable/satellite. Most people do have it, however, and for that reason you really can’t make any assumptions about their personalities.

I would say the “average” American Girl has eight of these.

“Average” foreign girls would have maybe 4 and under depending on where they lived.

Peter — I guess that’s the whole point. Your original comment seemed to indicate that cable/satellite tv was so ubiquitous that a person would be abnormal (and perhaps a lesser human being) if s/he didn’t have it.

As for women, I agree that cable/satellite tv is a useless measure. However, if a woman has the following series on DVD: Sex and the City, 90210, Queer Eye, Friends, Jane Austen movies, etc…, there may be something about which you ought to be concerned.

I think it is a much better idea to bang a woman raw dog–she clearly isn’t slutty if she is letting that happen.

I wonder how many girls prepare to be disappointed when they see the following:

2) Lives in father’s basement at age 29

3) Has no real job, just writes a blog about banging chicks

I love your blog and have been reading it for a while now. But you’ve grown increasingly full of shit and this post is a prime example.

Flip flops – It is never appropriate for a female to dress casually? Or to go to the beach/pool?

Hybrid automobile – A bike isn’t always the optimal mode of transportation, you know.

Eat, Pray, Love – Most girls are to lazy to read anything. Its crap but it beats People.

Dog – Owning a pet is a sign of weakness. Living in your dad’s basement is a sign of strength.

Condoms in nightstand – “The guy I’m fucking might bang as many other girls as Roosh does.”

iPod – “I listen to music.”

Carryout styrofoam container – “I am single and live alone.”

Vitamin water or vitamins – “I believe medical research.”

Ikea furniture – “I need cheap furniture.”

Keffiyeh scarf – Fuck these.

Blackberry – I have a job.

Pearl necklace – I’m on my period.

Cable television – “I live in America.”

1) most Brazilian women have SEVERAL pairs of flip flops

Having flip-flops when living by a beach or loafing around the house is one thing. But do Brazilian women wear them when working at a professional office job? Or out in a nice nightclub? Flip-flops in the Northeast has become women’s “good” clothes to wear with their best outfit.

Dog – “I can only get unconditional love from an animal.”

HA! How f’ing true. I made my wife get rid of her dog soon into our relationship. The first time she brought it over to my apartment it shit on my bed. As we walked out the door from the couple that took it, I gave the thing one last middle finger to let it know who won.

I have several pairs of good flip flops (havaianas btw), I love them.
It doesn’t means that I have to wear it all the time. I like the felling of hills on my feet.
I have dog, and cat and some repteils.
And I am sure the only unconditional love that I have it’s from my mom.
The freacking blackberry it’s sucks, actually cells in general.

i’m dating a brazilian and she has 3 – Ipod, Cable, and blackberry, but i’ve never seen her use her Ipod and her she lives w/her parents so they technically are the ones w/cable. and she’s student, so she basically uses the blackberry for personal emails.

That hybrid criterion seems misguided, unless you’re confining yourself to dating women who don’t own cars at all. Is that rare in the D.C. area?

I don’t know Lemmonex. I think Roosh is correct on the condoms in the nightstand.

It’s not an all or nothing situation. I think the issue is WHERE does a woman keep her condoms.

A single woman who keeps her cache next to the bed is someone who regularly brings guys home for one nighters. She doesn’t care what they think of her.

A more discriminating woman would insist on a man wearing a condom and no doubt owns condoms. However, she doesn’t keep them where they will be seen since any guy she brings home has already proven himself to be of value and not just a one night stand.

Plus since she’s not going out 2-3 times a week to get plastered and banged by complete strangers, she doesn’t need to keep condoms within arms reach of the bed.

I do disagree with Roosh on the dog though. Having been the victim of a stalker, my 70 lb dog makes it easier for me to sleep at night… Besides, a dog can NEVER replace a good man.

I have to sign off on VK’s comment ’cause that’s the one I look out for too.

On the serious tip though, these “warning signs” look like a list from a man that wants a serious relationship, not a pump and dump. You think game is all you need to land and keep a quality Brazilian?

Whoa, Ikea furniture is the cheapest stuff we have around where I live! It’s half the price of real furniture.

Also, you’re scared of blackberries? That’s pretty beta. They’re standard stuff in most offices that I’ve seen for any women not secretaries or other servants, but, like, in real jobs, even if they’re junior level stuff.

This could be among the most hypocritical posts ever. This blog is about how to screw women based on the idea that they are predictable and respond to a defined set of actions in a consistent manner. Yet, you say you are always disappointed by women who behave in predictable manners (e.g. have common trappings of modern-day society).

So your entire raison d’etre is a farce: you are disappointed by the exact women who you are able to get in bed with “gaming.”

Shocking conclusion: maybe being an asshole isn’t the best way to get quality women.

The police use sets of criteria, based on the type of crime committed, to profile the perpetrator may be like based on statistical data. I think that applying this idea, based on experience in the field like Roosh has, can help a man (or women) not waste time when confronted with a large sea of potential mates.

All of you criticizing the idea, are you telling me that you don’t judge people at all? Really!? Of course there are pros and cons to this approach, but it’s hardly void of value.

Once upon a time this little site was built by a bro named Roosh (He had a great idea and good intentions). A place to exchange ideas and experiences where “game” and other worldly topics were concerned.
As of late, the blogging community just turned a great site into a “Haters” forum for bro’s to talk shit and slam everybody. Mind you, its pretty easy to talk trash over a blog. Most of you wouldn’t say shit if the forum was in person. Suggest re-focusing … and bringing back a more constructive dialogue … and we can all .
get back to whats important (adventure, new experiences, hot women, travel etc).
Last thing, every Roosh post is not to be taken as completely literal. It’s just a conversation starter. A jumping off point for ideas and discussion. Chill out a little and ease up on the point-by-point criticism (The posts are not meant to be absolute law). Its just some humor mixed with observation.
