While most things said by Roosh on the show were correct and simply put, real world observations, he came across as extremely defensive in both body language and speech. For all talks of "frame" in the manosphere, Roosh presented himself as a man who was withdrawn, defensive, and quite frankly autistic. His speech was hesitant and slurred at times and he couldn't make eye contact with Dr. Oz nor members of the audience most of the time; he had mannerisms similar to those of Sheldon Cooper.
I'm sure that nerves played a role especially because the audience wasn't on his side and the show's format spotlighted him as a villain and a bully.
I'm glad that the manosphere is finally getting its voice out there to counter feminism but Roosh could have done a better job considering his previous experiences with the media.
I couldn't find an alternative source for the video clips (archive.today didn't work nor were there videos on youtube), so here's a link to Dr. Oz's website.
Edit: I copied all the video clips to Streamable for the people who can't see the content. The only thing limiting about the site is that a clip can't be longer than 60 seconds.

As a public service, will someone post this on youku.com or else upload it as a torrent in Kickass? I am not a PUA or MRA or M-O-U-S-E or whatever, but I have been a public speaking instructor, varsity debater, and a lawyer at the provincial court level. . I agree with some, but not all, of what Roosh says. However, I would really like to see how he was raked over the coals on this one before I can offer any practical advice.

lmao @ Dr. Oz placating the buttertrolls with "I like women of any size"
elrayem 9y ago
It was such an obvious opening -- I like women of any size too -- but tell me Mr. Oz, I've seen pictures of your beautiful, slim wife Lisa. Back when you were single would you say you ever slept with a woman over 200 lbs, 180 lbs, 150 lbs..... Put him on the damn spot.
VasiliyZaitzev 9y ago
No joke. His audience is made up of self-righteous fatties. When Roosh asked him, point blank, all things being equal, would you rather sleep with a woman who is 120 or 300, Oz could not dissemble fast enough. Have to keep the porker audience coming back for more (to say nothing of the chunky wife).
foldpak111 9y ago
He avoided that question. Hell, you don't even need to ask him that question. The lizard part of his brain told him 120#, but he won't tell you that.

ComradeCynic 9y ago
I will defend the guy a little bit... if you have never been in a situation where literally everyone in the room is primed to hate your guts, then you don't understand how this can mess with you. It is a really primal reaction.
My view was that Roosh felt they were trying to bait him into an emotional reaction, like an angry outburst, and that is why he seems introverted in this clip, because he was choosing his words very carefully.
PlebDestroyer 9y ago
Oz is alpha as fuck. Or at least a really good debater. There's got to be a term for that little argument, "roosh, we're all messed up", that he threw out in part 4 clip 1 that got everyone cheering. Appeal to emotion?
That slimey motherfucker chewed roosh up, and he should admit it, lol.
Edit: Jesus christ, I got a new nickname for Dr Oz. let's call him the frame thief.
Each time roosh makes a valid point and seems to own frame, Oz will come back with something to appeal to the audiences emotions. Clip 2 pt 2: Roosh, "I'm just asking these questions to find out why you're so screwed up".
Take notes gentlemen. Just not on his health advice.
foldpak111 9y ago
He's sociopathic. I do like how he avoided answering Roosh's points, which were, by the way, 100% correct, by comebacks that are delusional, but are feel good, further getting the crowd on his side. Brilliant.

LUClEN 9y ago
He was ill prepared. Oz claimed to have 50 papers supporting the notion that fat shaming does not work, but there have not been nearly that many studies. The one with the largest sample was based on survey data and due to the subjectivity of it is not the best example. If he was smart he would have asked Oz to break down the studies and point out exactly how they support the conclusion, then he could have pointed out that correlation is not causation and that there have been no double blind sort of experiments.
There are other factors that also correlate, like having an obese parent, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender (regional iirc), TV habits, job/career, education, and more. Yet no one is saying not going to college makes you fatter.
He should have called his bluff. If he knew the data he could have argued his point better.
IcyTy 9y ago
The clips on Dr. Oz's site (which OP thankfully copied, good job OP) do not represent the entire segment.

"If someone doesn't have the self control to exercise, to watch how they eat.. if they are big on the outside then that is a sign that there are probably some problems on the inside."
Truer words never spoken. I used to be really overweight (near 300 pounds) and lost 80 pounds (I'm really tall so I didn't need to go over that) because I was sick of myself. Yes, I was fat shamed, but that motivated me to do it. It was like a giant middle finger pointing to everyone that talked shit about me, and it felt good.
With that said, I think he is also a bit wrong, because terrible personalities can be on a lot of fit people. But the part that he said, I agree about.
Moldy_Gecko 9y ago
Are the links you gave the whole interview? If so, it was short. Honestly, I just think he didn't interject his view enough. He could have put an argument VERY easily against any of it. I wouldn't say he didn't do his homework as some have... I think, for some reason, it was intentional.
As a side note, this is the first time I've seen him and he doesn't really look like he lifts. I wasn't expecting a musclehead, but I was expecting broader shoulders or something. This isn't to negate him, maybe he's really fucking ripped, I justed expected different.

German here with an "out-of-country" perspective:
TV personality DrOz is a highly controversial figure himself (src: John Olivers´s show on CC)
the "interview" was a classic hatchet-job with a totally orchestrated setting: the hero, the villain, the victims (ask a studio crowd of 200 fugly people if they want to side with a fat-shamer...great attempt at TV -journalism) - in Germany they would have had the courtesy of inviting/casting a few pro-fatshamer into their audience
what does the TV Channel do ? Sell commercials for shitty food. Who is an arch-villain for companies peddling shitty food ? People like Roosh. BTW I thought he looked controlled and engaged - it´s no small feat to keep your shit together in front of cameras
I think it´s important to go out there and push the message - until it gets outlawed as hate-speech ( next presidency)
spartan1337 9y ago
My observations are that he wasn't well prepared, as someone said he didn't do his homework, and he's not as smart on the fly, responding in real time is not the same as being behind his computer with all the time in the world to carefully think what to say. Definitely a missed opportunity.

I don't see the point in fat shaming. If they want to be unhealthy then let them. The only issue I have is when SJWs want men to be attracted to over weight women. Be over weight, I wont say a word or care, but don't tell me what is or isn't attractive.

This. There is always an indirect effect on something. It is truly unfortunate that society is so politically correct that others (read: healthy, in this case) have to essentially subsidize behavior/decisions that are so blantantly and obviously wrong.
Aerobus 9y ago
It's sad to see society as so BP. Everything Roosh said I agreed with.
If you are fat, it is an indicator of your lifestyle.
Skinny women are more attractive.
The obesity epidemic is increasing.
Plus size women are not attractive.
Beauty does not come from the inside.
Honestly these fat feminist women are deluded. Hot women are going to succeed, while they fail, and men who hit the gym are going to succeed, while fat slobs will fail.
I'm not sure why you felt he came across as autistic. The only point where he acted visibly upset/disturbed was toward the end. He seemed to remain calm up until then.
frys180 9y ago
You're forgetting the other things he said. Like "fat women's fat being reflective of how they are on the inside." Or the fact that he shames fat women in the first place.
The problem with obesity is the same problem people have with gun laws. If you take everyones' gun away, the criminals that don't care about the law will always have a gun advantage. But if you give everyone a gun, innocent people will die from gun abuse by otherwise "regular" people.
The solution isn't shaming nor is it telling fat women that they're beautiful and healthy to make them feel better. It's a cultural change that's needed. We have to separate the notion of beauty and health as being psychology congruent with each other. When you're obese/overweight, you are by default not healthy. Even if you're asymptomatic. Fat people put unnecessary stress on their bodies and exponentially increase their chances of developing malignancies in their lifetime. We need to make people feel bad about being fat just like how we feel bad when someone has cancer. Until then, we'll just be going around in circles and nothing will change.
nomorelulu 9y ago

Men cannot win against this kind of shit, as long as they are divided. Women will always side with other women, men will not, unless there is some leader that pushes them along which is stronger than everyone else.

MorpheusGodOfDreams 9y ago
There was only 1 thing that the wizard said that I agree with: that fat shaming tends to have negative consequences (for women). Roosh's defense against this was to awkwardly ask for the papers, rather than agree and amplify.
What Roosh should have done is tell the truth: that personal change requires both a dissatisfaction with one's current state AND hope for the future. This is Roosh's biggest asset in his writings, that he puts the reader in a state of dissatisfaction while simultaneously giving them the hope required for change.
The wizard does the opposite in order to maintain his business model: he actually reduces the dissatisfaction that his audience has by telling them that they are beautiful, and he offers no hope for a better future. This allows the fat women who watch his show to keep returning for the feels, and buying some of his bullshit products every once in a while to feel productive.
But the fat shaming on ROK is not targeted to women at all. It is targeted at men, so that we know that we don't have to put up with this shit, and that we are not alone in thinking that excess fat is disgusting. We understand that women convert more food intake to fat than muscle (for the ovulation benchmark), that women tend to gain more weight after childbirth, and that genetics plays a large factor. But the push back against the unhealthy fat acceptance movement is a tough pill to swallow for women.
In short, the hens love to hear the wizard crow "fat is beautiful," but all we hear is "quack quack."
NeoreactionSafe 9y ago
Funny how you always get the plus size strong masculine African woman that is the best at presenting the Fat Acceptance message.

A big fat angry African woman... but she's beautiful on the inside? (laugh)
CHARM is what defines beauty on the inside not your ability to project anger.
The words don't match the images... the angry fat African woman is UGLY on the inside AND the outside.
Fat tends to mean a woman is ugly / ugly. ( inside / outside )
icecow 9y ago
Ironically, Dr. Oz and the audience took every jab they could at shaming Roosh. Dr. Oz not only wouldn't let Roosh speak, Oz used exaggerated forceful hand gestures from stopping Roosh speak with it was his turn.
I'd think the viewership would see Roosh as winning because the counter arguments were so bad and emotional in a bad way. Fat chance.
flexiblehold 9y ago
Roosh should study rhetoric more. Perhaps hire Frank Luntz as a consultant -- I believe Frank was behind re-labeling/-branding the "estate tax" as the "death tax." You can't win an argument when you accept another person's loaded terms, enter their arena, and submit yourself to their scrutiny and examination.
Where Roosh lost frame was accepting the term "fat shaming" as the descriptor of his position. He should call it "obesity awareness" instead, and from that platform discuss the problems to society-at-large that obesity causes, including the discontent individuals will necessarily suffer from the loss of their sex appeal. He also neglected to use a slam-dunk argument that would have set Dr. Oz back...
Roosh: "Dr. Oz, you say some men, maybe even millions of them, find fat women attractive, right?"
Oz: "Yes, everyone has their journey, and they are beautiful for who they are."
Roosh: "But that doesn't make them healthy though, right?"
Oz: "Well, we're talking about beauty, not health."
Roosh: "But as a physician you should be just as concerned with obesity as I am; some men find smokers attractive, but that doesn't mean we as a society should say 'smokers are beautiful.' That's irresponsible."
mbooter 9y ago
It was pretty malicious of the show to say there was something wrong with roosh's brain. How are you supposed to react when someone say's your arguments are invalid because your brain is messed up. You can't appeal to logic to these people, your only option would be to laugh at their face. Which on TV would come across as you being autistic.
widec 9y ago
I've noticed this about some of the personalities in the manosphere. In their writing, they send out a powerful message with some insightful observations that clearly took a lot of introspection to reach. But these great writers aren't always as strong in their vocal conversations. They lose frame and can't quite get their point across. It really shows how different these two forms of communication are.
I remember watching part of a purple pill podcast which featured GLO, and he didn't come off as a strong figure to me. I believe he was debating about how the amount of sex partners a woman had impacted their lives. His responses were mostly personal attacks, and he couldn't get his point across well at all. I can't remember how to find the podcast, but I figure one of you may be able to dig it up from my vague description.
AmusedMaster 9y ago
Agreed, it's one thing to kick ass from behind the keyboard and quite another to do it in the face of your enemy. The thing is, a trashy talk-show interview kind of format is REALLY not the kind of platform to discuss the kind of nuanced views found in the manosphere. You get 30 seconds to try and make your point, thereafter it's outrage avalanche and you're fucked.
Not to come across as a Rollo fanboy, but from the few audio interviews he has done he really comes across about as well spoken and thoughtful as you would expect from his writing.
If you want to play in the mainstream media arena, you better get your point across really fucking quick and stay on message. I seem to recall Bill Nye talking about this concept at one stage. You just have to stay on message, no matter how they want to divert attention away from your point.

Ties5o 9y ago
I will say this. I respect anyone who goes out and puts themselves out there and publicly backs up what they say. The world has far too many people who just tear others down on the internet, but do little productive themselves. Roosh is an author, traveler, created a popular blog, and is followed by thousands of people- which I respect. It also takes balls to go on a TV show to defend ones beliefs that he knew were controversial.
However, at the same time, I think this elucidates the issue that it is far to easy on the internet to create an echo chamber. I actually agreed more, in substance, with Dr. Oz than I did Roosh (although personally I like Roosh far more than Dr. Oz). I think its perfectly fine to point out that fat people are unhealthy and less attractive, but it should never get to the level of the quotes Roosh put out there. He constantly crosses the line of reasonable- and does so with shaming Western women often- and if a community does not self reflect (which the Red Pill does very well- I am less sure about ROK), these types of echo's can get to the point where any half-skilled TV host will easily rip you apart.
Many left wing movements- SJW's, etc- also have the same issue where they live on online echo chambers and produce some profoundly ignorant content.
I didn't think Roosh did that poorly on the show, but he put himself in a position that made him defend some defenseless quotes. If the ROK (or Rooshes followers) are able to self reflect and understand how their message may be interpreted by people with different life experiences than themselves, I think this could have been avoided.
At the end of the day, The Red Pill is still without a charismatic, public leader. (although I am not sure if the community needs or wants one).

Modern__Day__Pricus 9y ago
Roosh to me did just fine.
It didn't matter what he said and how logical his presentation was. He was going to get his head chopped off.
Dr. Oz is saying these things because he is on TV in front of a audience of WOMEN, while his BOSS from behind the scenes watches.
He can't really have a honest debate with Dr. Oz. He was dead from the moment the camera went on.
He held his composure. Watching this made me pissed off and I knew I would have given them the "crazy" that they were seeking like Roll talked about in his Tweets.
Why do we HAVE to listen to just ONE opinion? Why is wrong with a alternative? alternatives are the reason why have different movies, songs, TV shows, different views on race, men, women etc.
Had we just stayed chained to one thought who knows where we would be right now.
Dr. Oz was on his PC fuckery and, I can't be mad at him. He has to play his game too it is what it is.
Roosh was dead from the start. The best he could do was play it cool and stick to his guns.

Roosh got Rekt by the landwhale train and the chief-butt-muncher Oz.
juliusstreicher 9y ago
One extremely important thing to remember: In the context that Roosh was in, he went in thinking that he would be in a fight. Then, he was greased by the show's producers into thinking that it was going to be a sympathetic interview. In that kind of situation, Roosh had to change gears, while being forced to rethink his strategy, since (per the producers) he was going to be with a sympathetic audience, awaiting the wisdom flowing from his lips-which means that he would have to internally admit that he had made a terrible mistake in expecting a hostile audience. So, with him castigating himself for not taking the correct mental tools with him, and, having mentally discarded his plan of battle, he went in, already humbled and ready to connect with the audience. So, he went in front of the audience expecting friendship and a group willing to learn. Instead, he got killer whales and snarling hyenas. Anybody would be thrown off.
For a good example of this, watch Brotherhood of the Bell, with Glenn Ford. Somewhere after midway through, the protagonist went onto a show like this, and the host gave him a real neckrub to get him to go onto the show. When he got on, everybody, including the host, was yelling at him and calling him a psycho. Youtube it.

I have to give Roosh serious props for putting his face out there and confronting Dr. Oz and the audience the way that he did.
I doubt any of us could have fared better on that interview. I know I couldn't have.
Holding frame against a room of 200 people while being on national TV being demonized requires serious practice. I'm sure over time he will get much better at this.

Dr. Oz has recently been getting a lot of heat from doctors wanting him to resign (9 out of 10) from his show and he has even gotten shit from the government. It really is easy to see that this was a desperate move on his part to make himself look like the good guy.
Also, check a recent video on how John Oliver destroys Dr. Oz to see how fast he is falling.

AmusedMaster 9y ago
Lurker here. I just finished watching Roosh's response video regarding the Dr. Oz ambush. I've never been a real fan of the dude (I much prefer Rollo's "thinking man's red pill" approach), but I do so very much enjoy his fat-shaming shenanigans.
A few thoughts on his response:
I accept that, after his preliminary conversations with the producers, he genuinely thought the show would at least give him a fair shake. This still strikes me as naive, however. Roosh is unashamedly controversial at the best of times and surely he must have at least considered the very likely prospect of getting fucked like this.
The fact that he didn't have the foresight to anticipate this leads me to believe that he really REALLY deep down believes everything he says to the point that he probably has no concept of how alien his views are to the majority of people out there.
This show was about fat-shaming, but the same applies to Red Pill: feminized society/MSM is nowhere near ready for this shit and our proponents will get buttfucked on TV.
Two words nagged at me during this response video: irony and hamstering. This is a manosphere titan nagging about how he got ambushed (he should have known better) and talking about how his feels and shit. Look, I'm all for fat-shaming, but it's a pretty difficult position to defend without looking autistic and he really should have been better prepared.
He admits that he could work on his public speaking and I agree. However, if you're gonna go into battle and wave the flag on national TV, you had better be prepared, stick to your talking points no matter fucking what and hold frame like a motherfucker in the face of the fatties and Dr Fuckhead.
Both TRP and fat-shaming, controversial as they are, are positions that CAN be rationally and calmly defended, but you can't go in half cocked.
In the circumstances, I find it rather ironic that he's now hamstering on about how he felt (trying to find his "safe space"?! come the fuck on), whereas ultimately this is something he does to those oversensitive cows all the time. As RP I might be able to contextualise his response, but to anyone else this just makes him look even worse.
[deleted] 9y ago
I agree with your post but I think you are foolish to think he didn't have the foresight to expect this. It is very, very obvious and insulting to Roosh's intelligence. I think he absolutely did but just couldn't maintain frame and would rather paint the picture as someone who got caught off guard than someone who collapsed.
That being said he could have done so much worse. If you go over to his forum there are some interesting analysis of his performance and how stacked it was. I certainly would have done worse.
elrayem 9y ago
If he had any authenticity, he would have went down the line and fat shamed each of those porkers sitting on their high chairs....made them cry right on the spot.
iagovar 9y ago
I'm really tired of this bullshit in TRP. I really can't understand why many people thought that be a man means to behave like a kid. Mens sana in corpore sano, not lift and be a dickhead. OMG.
He couldn't hold the frame, make eye contact, and he dindn't take the initiative, so that's his fault. That was not an easy situation, but the solution is not going like a kid insulting people, that would be much worse.
Why I keep reading this things on TRP, come on that's childish.
elrayem 9y ago
I'm gonna agree with you in broad terms but in this specific instance the women are there to shame the fat shamer. This is a combat situation they chose to step into and those women would have collapsed under fire.
Take the first one and tell her any what any dr would Predict: (with greater than 50% confidence) she will be diabetic by 50, shooting insulin by 55, blind, one legged, or wheel chair bound by 60 and collecting disability and free health care. She should be more than shamed. She should be panicked over her own mortality. She should be scared skinny if she had an ounce of Logic in looking at her real situation. She would sit here condemning the one man brave enough to tell her the truth. While a dr sits there and lies to her??? She should be thanking him. Try to tell me it's hormones... Why is it gastric bypass always works?? We eat too damn much. If it takes surgery so be it but she should be frantically looking for any means possible to save her life not sitting there smugly self assured in her current mentality...which dr oz so regularly and profitably made comfy for her.
Turn to the next one and ask her which foot she prefers to keep in her diabetic wheel chair bound old age. Obesity diseases are ugly. Make them picture the results. Paint a clear picture.
Tell it like it is straight up, with a cold hard take down. Throw in some easy bait for dr oz...Talking tough is Roosh's claim to fame. This wasn't meeting a woman on the street And assailing her... This was a philosophical debate and those women were standing in logic quicksand. Instead he played nice and looked like an ass.
iagovar 9y ago
There was no philosophical debate at all, come on...
I'm surprised with you guys. That's not an enviroment for having a logical debate, so what's the point? You perfectly know that most people is emotionally driven, and he would not be able to make any point with that.
elrayem 9y ago
Of course there was a philosophical point. Does fat shaming work?
The irony is dr oz waived a stack of studies saying it (social shaming) doesn't work...then used the rest of the segment to shame Roosh...a tacit admission that shaming does work.
iagovar 9y ago
? What a strange way of thinking. There was no philosophical nothing because there was no debate. You are just saying it. Rooh had no opportunity to debate because the program was scripted. They were admitting nothing, they just wanted to shame Roosh because he represent a threat for their political views. IDK, it's cristal clear for me. And since that was not for changing his behavior, just for shaming him in front of their audience they were admitting nothing.
That's a debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wfNl2L0Gf8

Debating these clowns is a tactical mistake.
An argument on television is a public sympathy contest, and you have as little chance against a woman in a public sympathy contest as she has against you in unarmed combat.
And even if you win, there's no upside. We're not saving society, here. We have accepted the harsh truth that we cannot do that. It has to save itself.
Feminists, SJWs, entitled landwhales, limpwristed feminist enablers, leftoid pansies, white-guilt profiteers... all of these people thrive on public attention, because manipulating the media gestalt is what they do. They have practiced the art of "making you look like a big meanie" for a long time, and while you may occasionally tempt them to go too far, that's not going to change the mind of much of anyone who didn't already despise whiny human parasites.

JP_Whoregan 9y ago
Yep. The whole damn thing was a little painful to watch. And not because Roosh looked blindsided, but because every time Roosh made a valid point about the dangers of obesity, the fucking medical doctor sitting across from him was calling him a bully! I mean, all four of the whales that Oz called in to lecture Roosh weren't just fat; they were clinically obese. Like heart attack at 40 obese.
The whole damn thing was just mystifying.

If i remember correctly, Oz claimed that he found not a single person who agrees with roosh and then asks his audience. This wouldn't be argumentum ad populum, since the question wasn't if rooshs claim (about fat shaming) is wrong, it was about if there are people that agree with roosh. Oz's sample was in no way representative, so his question to the audience was worthless, but i wouldn't call it argumentum ad populum.

If you believe this is a fair sample size of 200 people you never should have been licensed to be a doctor, becuase you're a fucking retard
averageredditor123 9y ago
Logic doesn't win arguments, no matter how right you are. Dr. Oz has years of professional experience speaking on TV and pandering to an audience. He also has political correctness on his side. You can't win.
TorontoIntactivist 9y ago
You can. You just have to give him a bloody nose. Dr Oz is not a bully at heart. He's a kind heart-surgeon in pastels. He has been bullied and manipulated himself by media and showbiz into becoming some kind of side-show freak. Hit back and make it count.
thebalrog_ofmorgoth 9y ago
this is true. just ask socrates and how much he hated the sophists. if you wanna beat Oz, you gotta take a look at Aristotle. He wrote the book and knocking shit like that down
rpscrote 9y ago
im not arguing for long rhetorical logic. Im arguing for easily digestible sound bites talking over Dr. Douche. See my other post.
Logic CAN win arguments in the popular sphere if the logic can be condensed into one short sentence. If it takes more, it wont work, and most logical arguments take more than 1 sentence.
"Why didn't you marry a fat woman if they're so beautiful?" logical but concise enough to have impact. He'd still be booed and demonized but it might give pause to a few people
foldpak111 9y ago
The best part is that it doesn't change reality. If you're a fat mother, it's irresponsible as a parent because it can lead to death. Then they get their kids fat by feeding them cheetos and McDonald's, which is child abuse. I remember a quote by the great former prime minister of Singapore "I'd rather be correct than politically correct."
These fat women are victims of yes men, which will lead to their deaths. I will continue to fat shame, it shows lack of self control and caving to pressure easily. I'm taking the route of oil rig drilling, you think I'm not stressed? You don't hide from your stress, you confront it. Anyone that comforts themselves with junk food instead of gym, diet, and meditation is not good enough to be a part of my life, as I have personal boundaries.
So I leave Dr. Oz and his merry gang of strong and independent, plus sized hambeasts with this: you can ignore reality, but you can not ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

I dont really care one way or the other since I'm not really into advocating for redpill or the manosphere but keep in mind, anyone who has ever been in front of the camera can tell you that it is a thing unto itself.
Talk show hosts are the professional body builders of the TV world. They spend thousands of hours in front of the camera, some guy who hasnt spent anywhere near that amount of time is going to be utterly out classed and at the mercy of the pros around him. A guy could be the most confident dude in the universe but fold in front of the camera. Its just a different environment.

The only mistake I can point out on his side is the fact that he sat there for too long. If I were in his position, I would have just said that was not the kind of "interview" I had signed up for, wished their fat yet beautiful asses the best of luck, stood up and left.

Everyone there is so shocked, surprised and in disbelief at the claim that the majority of men don't like fat chicks. Oz can spout all the feel-good crap he wants, and those women can temporarily feel the glow of being together against that huge jerk they had as a guest, but the reality of their lives will, as always be undeniable. No man of halfway decent SMV will ever touch them. I'm sure some schlub will, but they'll never enjoy the same kind of man that more attractive women can get.
Go ahead and look however you want, ladies. That's not the point. The point is that you give up your right to complain about the lack or quality of male attention when you're taking up an extra half seat on an airplane.

I'm in China and youtube and the Dr. Oz vid won't load properly so I haven't seen the footage. The impression I got from what I have read is that he was walking a fine line between trying to make his points, getting interrupted, and if he became assertive there would never be an end to the accusations of how angry, aggressive, hateful and violent he is.

I dont totally agree with roosh when he says people who are fat are ugly on the inside. It is true definitely to a degree, but I have met people who are a joy to speak with that are overweight. I think it has to do more with ones self-esteem then the actual weight. Of course, generally speaking I'm sure people that are obese are harder to be around then healthy individuals.

i dont know why this is getting so much attention
he was literally paid money to get on the show. that could be his only reason. did he gain extra members from doing Dr Oz? fuck no
was anyone ever going to change their mind on 'fat is beautiful'? no.
It's the same script as oprah's other bitchboy, dr phil. Bring someone 'evil' on, have them typify the thing this particular episode is about, and cash in on the fat woman audience who feels they got justice at the hands of dr phil/dr oz
they did the same shit with the bumfights guy, the same thing with 'dick masterton'. was anyone going to watch and say "wow i thought bumfights was dumb, but now i think its actually good"? no
so they had him act it up and used quotes to get a response from the audience like "rather die than sleep with a woman over 150lbs"
the crazy thing is it's getting attention(meaning money for video clicks) outside the sjw mom audience like here

RPB1 9y ago
This isn't surprising to me after seeing how Julien bitched out. It doesn't take a lot of balls to pontificate on the web.
It's easy to hold frame on your self-produced website geared toward like-minded men. Unfortunately for Julien and now Roosh, their frame is weak when put in front of the American viewer.
While there are many men on the manosphere who are naturally RP but needed to fill in some cracks, we'd be remiss to forget that a lot of these "top RP thinkers" were socially awkward pussies in the day.
They're lovers, not fighters.
As for Roosh's excuses on why he couldn't maintain frame? Don't care for it; he knew what he was getting into. Uncomfortable situations are par for the course for the unplugged man.
Learn from his failure, have real conviction, and hold your fucking frame.

I actually think he handled it very well. I mean, he kept his frame, he never yelled, he was always in control, he was rational.
I had only read some of his posts but never actually saw any videos and when I saw that interview and his way of expressing he didn't dissapoint. That's how I think debates should be carried, in a constructive and serious way.
Of course, he knew what he was getting into but he handled it well.

I don't agree with fat shaming though. What I do agree with though is that we shouldnt be peddling that being overweight is as sexy as being slim and happy. That you should accept your weight and just keep doing bad habits. I agree with the women on that show in the sense of having self acceptance and being able to be confident regardless of your weight, yet at the same time doing something to reduce your weight and increase your life expectancy.
AmusedMaster 9y ago
With the caveat that there's a thin line between bravery and stupidity, I do think it took some serious balls on Roosh's part to take on the fatties and the white knight head-on in this particular format. He didn't shape as well as he, or we, would have liked him to, but that's a lesson learned.
We cannot place Roosh, or anyone else in this community, above criticism, however. Our principles are what makes this community worthwhile, we don't need sacred cows or martyrs. Even the best of us will fuck up and we need to call it as we see it. The alternative is that we lapse into groupthink and end up like the feminist movement.

You can't really compare them though. Dick in a way is hiding behind this extreme caricature facade of a misogynist, and there is a lot of predictability and comfort in that. I believe the shades also help him hide himself.
Roosh on the other hand is trying to appear more like a sane civilized man who wants people to understand his unpopular opinion.

Exactly. Also a 5 minute appearance vs. a full interview, followed by a Q&A segement isn't apples to apples.

That's his tactical error. To think these people respect the sane and civilized is a joke, for they are not sane nor civilized themselves. Amused mastery and mockery to keep them in line, laced with pearls of wisdom when they've calmed down and willing to listen for about 20 seconds would've been the correct route to go. Then when they think you're too sane and civilized and start giving you shit, you start making fun of them again. The media wants entertainment, this is fucking day time talk show nonsense for hamsters, not a fucking discovery channel documentary.

Agreed. He tried to come across as too respectable to an audience or host that wasn't going to be cordial to him no matter what he did.

I'll probably get downvoted to shit for this but Owen is by far, in my opinion, the master of what real seduction is. I've been following him for a long, long time and while he does have a salesman persona, a lot of his stuff is no bullshit and very philosophical.
My favorite thing about him is that he has the balls to disagree with many tenets I see here on TRP and isn't afraid to call people out about their ridiculous beliefs. I'll probably be called a blue piller or beta for saying this, but there's a lot of stuff I see upvoted on here that is straight up misogynist. Following that, I've seen many Owen videos in which he just shits on certain TRP beliefs that are upvoted here.
He's not afraid to speak his mind, and that's why he's the king. He can be an egalitarian while still being a piss happy womanizer that doesn't give a shit. He's mastered inner game so well that flirting with women is child's play. No one really has come close to him.
md619 9y ago
Name one and show me where he says it
fashionfag 9y ago
Sure. Would you agree that a large majority of TRP can slut shame girls and get extremely turned off (if not hate it) when girls have a significant sexual history? I personally see it all the time on TRP. Owen is straight out against this. I think he says something along the lines that it doesn't matter what the girl has done in the past, all that matters is that she's thinking of you in the present.
He explains it at the end of this video [here] (https://youtu.be/HGEO6ig8WsM?t=18m29s) and then restarts and makes an entirely new video about it [here] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaRjwsOKEyQ).
And I understand the whole why it's not a double standard argument because men need to be alpha to get laid and women just need to be there to get laid. Owen explains its bullshit, and if you're really alpha, then you just shouldn't give a fuck. He argues that if you do care about that shit, it's really just an hidden insecurity that you can't get over. You don't have to agree with him, I actually disagreed with him for quite some time about the issue. But I started to change my mind about it a little while ago. Hope that answers your question.
md619 9y ago
This your misunderstanding of TRP.
Ask any seasoned player on this forum if slut shaming a girl you're dating or trying to hook up with is a smart move and they would tell you no. Especially not if it's a ONS. A girl who feels like she's being attacked for being a slut is a girl that doesn't put out. The whole point of slut shaming is to get a girl to close her legs. So why would you do that to a girl you're fucking / trying to fuck?
But here on the internet, we can be more honest about what is happening. Owen is basically saying that the "madonna/whore" complex is stupid because you can't have it both ways, just like women can't typically find beta and alpha traits in a man. I don't think anyone would disagree with him that if you're living in modern society, if you want to date an attractive / social girl then she's probably fucked around a bunch. This is TRP 101.
TRP slut shames because many guys were betas who were being shamed for not wanting to be a with a post-wall women who was clearly just looking to lock down a provider and not a lover. Men were expected to believe that they were getting her "best" (lol) and that her past is NO indication of future behavior. Check out Michael's Story on the sidebar.
In general, TRP also recognizes the reality of how unhinging hypergamy has affected society. Much like Owen, we're content in just gaming the system to our benefit, but still we acknowledge these effects like declining birth rates, higher concentration of sex towards men at the top, increasing the social safety net, etc. This has nothing to do with insecurity as it does understanding today's political reality so that YOU can make the optimal sexual strategy.
There will always be some guys on here that will long for the "old" days where women weren't promiscuous. But that's not a fault of TRP, that's there fault for not being able to adapt to modern society.
fashionfag 9y ago
Then we probably just disagree about what we think TRP is here on reddit, rather than what it actually is.
In my experience, there are many guys here on /r/TRP that actually believe a girl is not worth their time because of their past sexual history, and that they're also huge sluts because of it. They simultaneously want the girl to have very little sexual history, but also to have great sex, be cool around friends, and be all-around smart. Your assertion that:
is inherently wrong imo. IMO, it would be easy to say that a majority of this people on this site want the exact thing that Owen mocks in the 2nd video. I see it upvoted all the time here. And I think it would be stupid to overlook it as an anomaly.
Regardless, Owen would argue that the fact you think it's okay to be honest and slut shame girls (whether it be on a forum or somewhere else) is a form insecurity, and vice-versa when girls try to shame guys.
This doesn't make it right. It's a zero-sum game. There's no excuses with this. That "oh women used to shame me when I was beta so it's okay" argument doesn't work. Using that argument means you're still affected by being shamed. If you're really alpha, then you just shouldn't give a shit. Owen is explains that over and over.
[deleted] 9y ago
Owen is a self-hating clown that can maintain the high-energy car salesman routine for just long enough to make a youtube video. Philosophical? lol, the guy quotes Ekhart Tolle, a pseudo-philosophical, white-noise babbling, unmitigated fraud. I recognized every trait he's accused of having by neil strauss before I even realized that owen = tyler durden = that tyler durden.
fashionfag 9y ago
Good argument. I especially like the fact that Owen could run circles around you in terms of game and seduction. Who are you trying to impress?
I mean you obviously haven't seen anything by him past his youtube videos but okay. There's a reason why the youtube videos are free, while still providing a wealth of information.
Again, great argument. Completely overlooking the fact that Owen majored in philosophy, and his tenets definitely reach farther than Tolle, though he does look up to him. Also calling a man a "psedo-philosophical fraud" completely ignoring the fact that he did his post graduate at Cambridge and has achieved more in the past 20 years than you can dream of achieving in your entire life. Honestly bro, your cry for attention in this post just screams insecurity.
So you're admitting to pre-judging a guy based on a book you read in which Strauss has conceded he exaggerated Owen's traits because it's, you know, a book. And every book needs an antagonist.
Maybe think before you post next time.
foldpak111 9y ago
What I'd like to know is what Neil said about Owen. I can't find the info anywhere and I refuse to buy the book.
fashionfag 9y ago
You can prob find the book in pdf format or just torrent it somewhere. Basically when Strauss was first starting out with Mystery, Owen or "Tyler" (which he was known as in the book) was also just starting out in the PUA game. It's been awhile since I read the book, but Neil, iirc, explains how Tyler is just this annoying prick that non stop asks Mystery questions about game and how to game girls. How he would constantly pick apart his brain on women. Eventually Tyler does something to backstab Mystery and leaves.
The entire thing seemed exaggerated though (which Neil later admits), and seemed to be written in a way in which Tyler was painted as the antagonist for the reader's enjoyment. People who've read the book know the real antagonist was Mystery's ego.
When I first was getting into game (The Game was my introduction), I came upon Owen's videos and fully expected him to be the huge prick depicted in the book. He wasn't, and was actually pretty hilarious.
[deleted] 9y ago
lol speaking of great argument... Your argument is that because Owen can allegedly run circles around some random guy you met on the internet that this means he's the illest. Are you suggesting that Owen aside, I'm the greatest pua in the world or are you just retarded?
Incorrect
So what. My sister majored in Russian Literature. That doesn't make her Dostoyevsky.
lol u wot m8. Idiotic wording aside, Tolle is a say-nothing, babbling troll.
I'll leave alone the fact that again, you consider me the standard of excellence. He's a fraud. He doesn't publish in philosophy journals. He sells empty nonsense to laytards.
You seem very interested in talking about me. It's getting a bit strange.
No. I literally said the opposite. You don't seem to be able to read.
People like Ekhart Tolle, Owen, and, well...all self-help gurus are selling a product. They must appeal to customers to be successful. Who are the target customers for self-help? Losers. Losers just like you.

Nope you completely missed my point. I was pointing at the irony of someone calling a person a "self-hating clown", when he can obviously learn a thing or two from him. If you know Tyler is better at game than you, then why are you calling him a clown? There's obviously some insecurity there. I don't like Roosh that much, but I can gladly admit he knows a shit ton more about women than I do, and I definitely can learn from him. I'm not going to criticize him like I don't.
I mean if it was incorrect then you would have commented on the 12+ hour tours that he does, rather than singling out his youtube videos. Anyone can lie on the internet.
I pointed this is out because you seem to think Owen strictly follows Tolle. You're straight up wrong. He quotes many philosophers. And it isn't a crime to have someone to look up to, especially Tolle.
Man, I think I just confirmed you're a 16 year old kid,
Again, great argument. People called Socrates, Plato, Spinoza all idiots too. That's not to compare Tolle to the legends, but just to put your opinion in perspective.
Man you are really trying to convince yourself aren't you. You sound like those people over at PUA-hate.
You read the book first, then judged Tyler and examined how what all of Strauss said was right. So basically you already had the prenotions of what Tyler would be like and your brain said it was true. Maybe you're too stupid to make up your opinion of the guy.
Man you seriously sound like a guy that came straight out of the PUA-hate forum. If you hate seduction then why are you in TRP? Literally everyone in this business is a self-help guru trying to sell you a product, because it's their profession. I don't buy anything from Owen, Tolle, or others like Mark Manson, Cajun, etc. All of their shit can be easily found online. But that doesn't mean I can't respect them.
[deleted] 9y ago
that's not irony
is this where i am supposed to get defensive? square peg -> round hole
Real philosophers think Tolle is a fraud peddling nonsense to losers for personal financial gain. They think this because he is.
There are only two reasons to look up to Tolle. The first is, well, you're a mouth-breathing retard. The second is because you wanted to model his snake oil business.
Illustrating your own illiteracy. I'll break it down, barney style for you. I read the book, thought oh wow this guy is a cunt. Then I followed owen for a few years and thought oh wow this guy is a cunt. It wasn't for a few years that I noticed people also called him tyler durden and I was like, oi, is this that same cunt from the book? I didn't realize it was the same person until long after I had formed an opinion. Lrn2read.
I don't hate seduction and don't even disagree with most of what Owen says. I'm just real about the fact that his entire livelihood is based on convincing losers that he's better at picking up women than he is. I'm real about the fact that he is very insecure and constantly overcompensates. I'm real about the fact that his "field videos" are staged commercials for his product. But I'm also real about the fact that for an awkward, balding, ginger midget he probably does way better with women than he "should".
fashionfag 9y ago
Man, I can't argue with you anymore if you actually think this is true. You're past any reasonable argument and your opinion obviously won't change. What's even more laughable is the fact that you actually think TRP isn't a place where losers come to try to learn about picking up women and become a better person, the same thing you shame Tyler for. The fact that you call him insecure and that he overcompensates, while ignoring the fact that EVERY HUMAN IN THE WORLD is insecure about something, regardless of how well they hide it. And the fact that you call his field videos staged despite not providing any fucking evidence for your claim (I'll gladly shut the fuck up if you can provide any evidence and I'll concede that you're absolutely right, Tyler sucks). But the most important thing you've spewed in your bullshit nonsense is this:
You're basically admitting that you're jealous of a guy like Owen is better than a majority of people at game. Owen is the epitome of a guy who shouldn't get women. A short, balding, insecure, ginger. And you fucking hate him for that. You fucking hate him because he gets women and you don't. And you couldn't make it any more obvious than in that sentence.
foldpak111 9y ago
I get that a lot. I'm a 5'5" manlet yet I pull women like I'm Casanova the second. You should see how mad other guys get. I remember that night I pulled that 5'11" vogue model. Guys like OP can talk shit, he can laugh with his buddies, he can cry in the corner like a little troll, he can make a Facebook post about it. I'm out here every night doing this shit. Who gives me permission? Me. I'm not a permission boy. Oh and I'm a 10 year BJJ practitioner that can deadlift 575#. Rustled Jimmie even harder knowing a 5'5" midget can manhandle OP. I love it when people label you as same level/below them, then come to find out that you are actually above them... the hamsters are epic. I get the popcorn out and shit
[deleted] 9y ago
Your dime store psychology was cringe-worthy, albeit comical at first, but now it's just tiring. To someone like me, Owen is kind of a tool that rehashes a lot of real PUA shit and mixes it with self-marketing, self-help-appeal nonsense. Owen is an inspirational cult-hero to losers that can't get laid. Your reaction to my questioning his divine status speaks volumes.
fashionfag 9y ago
I don't think he's divine. I just think, as someone who actually saw him run game at an NYC club, by far the best inner game guy in the community. Dude can run circles around the club and have every girl following him. That's not "staged" as you like to call it (btw still waiting on that evidence).
Owen doesn't rehash real PUA shit. Owen is the guy that created certain tenets of real PUA game theory that we see today. He's one of the first people that broke off from the shitty seduction techniques you see in Strauss's The Game, and began focusing on inner game and improving the person him/herself.
You don't have to like him. But I think you'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you decided to watch him with an open mind rather than call him a tool.
Rollo-Tomassi 9y ago
OK, not for nothing but I’m kind of put off by Roosh trying to sell this interview as an ‘ambush’. He’s not dumb, he’s written more about how the media perceives the manosphere than most MRAs (who just disown it when convenient). He knows damn well he’s a firebrand and is called the internet’s most notorious misogynist which he relishes. I honestly have no problem with any of that. He’s been part of the backbone of the manosphere for a decade.
But I have to pause when he tries to sell this “massacre” as something he didn’t see coming when he called out Dr. Oz over 2 years ago:
http://www.returnofkings.com/7074/dr-oz-is-a-pussy
He needed to sell this as a “surprise” because it makes his involvement in what had to have been a lucrative gig more plausible to the people he knew would criticize him for it – namely the manosphere.
What’s troubling is that he didn’t need to sell it like that. I’d have far more respect for him if he’d just owned up to knowing what he was getting into. He should’ve hired a media coach, but for what he had to know what was going to happen he didn’t drop things too badly.
He knows about Julian Blanc, he knows how the media spun the Eliot Rodger incident. Hell, this is the guy who gave Tucker Max a rash of shit when he went public and changed his song.
I still have a great deal of respect for Roosh, he's been a manosphere staple for a decade, but he didn't need to sell it like that.
IcyTy 9y ago
Him having some awareness would not negate it being an ambushed. It seems more like you think an ambush shouldn't matter because Roosh should be prepped. But it's one thing to be prepped in theory, and another thing to go through the experience. It's easy to get charmed by people prepping him on the show and being nice to him to give him a false sense of things.
He might've been prepared for the worst and then let down his guard thinking "oh wait, they're being nice, issue based, this isn't as bad as I thought"
2 years is enough to forget about what he wrote about Oz before, plus he might be open to thinking he changed, that he might prioritize health over feelz
CQC3 9y ago
I can understand how one might be a bit put off when the mood suddenly switches up like he says in his blog post--that the crew was being completely respectful and fair to him and then suddenly within a moment turned into vicious hiveminded demons ready to flay him alive.
It just seems a bit unlikely that everybody would be in on it it in such a way that they play their parts accordingly, like some Shutter Island shit.
As for his frame on the show...it seems to me that while I wouldn't say he failed by any means, he perhaps became too invested in discussing the intellectual merits of his argument with a crowd composed mostly of people who have everything to lose by the realization of his ideology. Not only that, but he's in a one on one situation with Dr. Oz who quite frankly is going to control the entire conversation because it's his show.
Because its Oz's show, the audience and Roosh himself had already stepped into his frame, that's just the nature of talk shows. If the host wants to be a controlling dick that just wants to call you names and WK the whole time, what are you going to do? There's no reasoning with farm animals.
That is a much different environment than the Ukrainian talk show where the host was controlling the conversation, sure, but there was other people and other views to give perspective to Roosh's and dissipate the heated focus on him. That was more or less a fair free for all.
Overall, I'm not really sure how he didn't realize what he was in for, a TV talk show in the fattest fucking country in the world.
[deleted] 9y ago
Count me as put off as well. For all his preachings of red pill principles, DYEL bro? Being skinny is just as bad as being obese. He needs to hit the gym. And stop playing with your goddamn beard like a nervous twitch! His principles are good, too bad he doesn't follow them.
Cyralea 9y ago
Roosh honestly fucked up by not doing his homework. He showed up to the exam hoping that he'd get by on the few days he showed up to class.
He says he saw clips of Oz's show that painted him as being reasonable, but like you say he has to know how much he's hated. He needs to be ready to counter the hate with tempered responses. At the very least some well-prepared soundbytes would have done him a lot of favours.
I respect Roosh for having the balls to get up there and take on the shitshow directly, but I do wish he'd do the greater manosphere a favour and be more presentable.
RedPillDad 9y ago
I give him credit for entering the scorpion's pit and keeping reasonable frame as they repeatedly flogged him. He had no chance to come out ahead. Even the fatties had preset speeches.
After watching that fiasco, I took in an episode of "My 600 Pound Life." Gave me instant motivation to head to the gym.
So where do fatties draw the line on fat acceptance? Are these porkers supposed to be beautiful? Is the one on the left off the hook because she's "only" 280?
JP_Whoregan 9y ago
I agree completely with every assertion Rollo. What mystifies me though, as train wreck as this interview admittedly was, was how Dr. Oz would barely give even an inch that, yes, maybe the "fat acceptance" movement is maybe just a little bit full of shit. You'd think a medical doctor would have taken even 20 or 30 seconds, even with his anti-Roosh agenda (which I get because Oz's primary audience is fat old married women and he has to pander), to maybe plug the benefits of fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
Instead, what he did was line up a panel of four clinically fucking obese (not just "fat", "chubby", or "overweight") women to wag their fat fingers and deliver fat acceptance lectures. None of those women were "marginally overweight"; they were fucking ham-beasts who are heart disease risks at age 40 and beetus type 2 risks earlier than that.
So the message Dr. Oz, the medical doctor, essentially delivered to this audience was, "being clinically obese is just fine in the opinion of this medical doctor, as long as evil fat shamers like Roosh exist. You should be more comfortable with the idea of your obesity than you are with the idea that other people make fun of you. Be comfy in your body, accept your fatness."
And the danger it does to these women is immense, because if a person is "comfortable" and "accepting" of their obesity, then they really have no motivation to really change, right? If fitness is OK, and obesity is OK, what motivation is there to transition from obesity to fitness?
Dr. Oz, IMHO, is betraying the Hippocratic Oath when he betrays clinical science in favor of currying ratings and favor of his primarily obese female audience, and it's disgusting. He's the real "monster", not Roosh. Roosh had the right message, but poor delivery, and yes I agree he did TRP community no favors by doing it, but he definitely wasn't the biggest failure on that soundstage.
The medical doctor minimizing the health problems of obesity was the biggest failure.
juanqunt 9y ago
Other physicians hate Dr. Oz: https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/physicians-want-dr-oz-gone-columbia-medical-faculty-232438146.html
Dr. Oz is a prime example of a Dark Triad sophist. He's a natural psychopath with life long experiences in lying and manipulation. I am a bit disappointed in Roosh, but honestly there aren't a lot of people in the world who could have done much better. Dr. Oz applies just about every single one of the 48 Laws of Power.
_eskimo_brothers_ 9y ago
Couldn't agree more. When he was publicly humiliated in front of congress because he wouldn't answer point blank questions I felt justice was just starting to be served. He can then go right back to his show and state what he wants, and only allow medical advice to help with his agenda, be it selling products, endorsing products, or "Muh-muh-mircale Cures! cue blinding lights Today at 3PM!" He should be held accountable for everything he says, as juanqunt mentioned, over 1000 physicians want him gone.
I wonder if he eats his healthy victims or just the unhealthy ones? Too much Hannibal lately for me? Maybe.
In regards to Roosh, I feel he could have easily disected Dr. Oz's rebuttals, with saying simple logic, he could use pervious Dr. Oz episodes as a reference.
"You're going to tell me obese women, perhaps in your own audience should feel perfectly happy with dieing before they are 50?"
"Last week on your show, you stated the dangers of this, yet you're telling me that because I'm being honest that overweight women are unattractive, you're going to be their protector from me, when you're the one signing their death certificate?"
"We want the same thing, healthy, active, and more beautiful women."
This is getting to the point of armchair debating, but still, I did expect more from Roosh, but even if he had said these things, you know the producers could have made it like he never said any of it anyways.
PartyTrickster 9y ago
Thank you. I'm not frustrated with how Roosh did as much as I am with how he didn't own up to it.
Seriously, for a sub that preaches accountability and other masculine traits, it's a bit pathetic to see all these BP defenders saying "oh but he never had a chance". Makes a few things on here seem downright hypocritical if we don't hold one of our own to the same standard we hold those who disagree with us.
newls 9y ago
I'm not that surprised about it. He has copied top comments on this sub onto his Twitter feed without attributing them multiple times.

Exactly. Zero confidence, stuttering, terrible presentation.
He knows he's in enemy territory, he should have increased his strength rather than trying to choose his words carefully.
foldpak111 9y ago
Julien did the same thing, and I'm willing to bet all of us would, at best, present ourselves in the same manner. It's like a firefight, you never know how you're going to react once it happens, no matter how much training you get.
ChadThundercockII 9y ago
Rollo, What about his interview in the Ukrainian TV show ? he was cool and actually got people onto his frame.
[deleted] 9y ago
Roosh has never been a good speaker. He's a good writer but his speaking skills are really lacking. He also lacks frame and confidence when he speaks. He really should hit the gym, up his T and bulk up. I've become skeptical about his success stories with hot bitches after watching his Youtube clips. The guy has had no charisma and zero presence up until recently.
Roosh had the lingual upper hand in the Ukraine. He didn't have to worry about his English being analyzed by anyone. Plus there's a big difference between some obscure Ukrainian TV show and Dr Oz. It's just like going to bed with a 6 and a 9. The 9 will probably cause some performance anxiety. Despite yourself, you feel the pressure to do a good job because you're being scrutinized and there's a lot on the line (a 9 wet hole).
Dr Oz schooled Roosh in every way possible. Oz was the alpha, Roosh was the shy, autistic, stammering, incoherent beta.
He couldn't even refuse Oz's "materials" at the end. At first he showed resistance but then he finally caved and took them from the charlatan.
I'll repeat: zero charisma, zero amused mastery, zero confidence, zero eye contact.
I have no idea how this guy is a PUA.
Rollo-Tomassi 9y ago
Yes, he did. Different topic, different demo, different country. He deserves respect for that, which makes his Dr. Oz "massacre" reasoning all the more suspicious.
For fuck's sake he knew the topic would be fat shaming prior to accepting the gig. Who better than Roosh would know what to expect from addressing that with the American MSM?
ChadThundercockII 9y ago
I actually believe his hamstering when he said he was back stabbed by Oz and his producer. Maybe Roosh got comfortable and forgot that he was walking into the lion's den.
jwquiroz 9y ago
I think he just underestimated Dr. Oz's team and overestimated his media handling skills. He was put off balance at the beginning by the audience and never fully recovered. Now he knows better.
ChadThundercockII 9y ago
You see, the moment he was about to enter the studio, he heard Oz say that he was a monster and a troll from the shadowy corners of the web. He mind must have shut down for a while.
Soarinc 9y ago

UrbanDatingTech 9y ago
Nothing was accomplished with that interview. If human private thought ever becomes hack-able, Roosh can leave his privacy controls off, and see the concept of extinction in action. As far as Oz, guess he isn't knowledgable re: empirical data showing ignoring is more powerful than attending.
zpatriarchy 9y ago
you should read his side of what happened
PartyTrickster 9y ago
Sorry to be so blunt, but I don't believe it - he knew the heat would be on in that studio, and he wasn't prepared to hold frame in the smallest degree. Yeah, stage fright can really break a man's frame - that's fine, and I won't hold it against Roosh. But as a man, he should own up to the weakness he showed instead of blaming it on "backstabbing female producers".
If you lose the fight, you don't blame it on the other party. You get the fuck up and figure out how to win the next one.
xdrunkagainx 9y ago
Roosh wasn't back stabbed, that would imply they were friends first. Sorry Roosh but you got suckered into a trap.
lovethebottoms 9y ago
I watched a bit of that video as I was leaving and I heard something like "... I couldn't do more given the situation I was put in by Dr.Oz". That's already lame , blaming his performance on other factors. He put himself in that situation. When you have the balls to shame fatties or anything that goes against feminism , you better back it up or you get "murdered on national television" , as he said.
He should have expected that , there is no excuse. Imagine if he did well and fucking held frame in front of those people - we would be sharing videos of that and I guarantee he wouldn't need to come up with "his side of what happened" - an excuse.

Roosh is a loser when the pressure is on. He's a decent writer, but I've never been a big fan, especially the crap that he lets spew out of clickbait-spam RoK. But he's got $$$ for all of his tryhard work on the internet so you've got to give him credit for that financial success.

bakbakgoesherthroat 9y ago
I did, but the problem is that the average American didn't. Like it or not, whenever Roosh or anyone else from the manosphere goes to these shows, they are viewed as representatives of our community. Now I feel that the manosphere is crucial to children and adults alike because it cuts through the bullshit perpetuated by feminism & mainstream society and urges us to look at things critically and improve ourselves.
I agree with Roosh's message but not with how he presented himself and therefore, our community.
[deleted] 9y ago
OP, your point is valid, but I see it a different way.
It's true that Roosh lacked foresight. He basically admitted it in his blog post. He should have known when he went in that it was gonna be a shitshow.
It's also true that his attitude could have been more appealing, but dude, put yourself in his shoes. It would have been almost a herculean feat of cheerfulness to remain upbeat when people were casually referring to you as a monster. The guy is not superhuman, he can't help but accurately assess the situation as hostile and react to that hostility.
All things told, I thought Roosh did pretty well. He does not claim to represent the manosphere as a whole, so I think your criticisms about "Roosh making the manosphere look bad" are misinformed. He is just one guy, with a well-honed writing voice. Any fashion decisions he made are entirely his.
OP, I think you are making an understandable mistake. The mistake you're making is assuming that Roosh represents your opinions on mainstream TV.
Bro, even if you and Roosh agree on most things, it doesn't mean you have to assume that he is the spokesperson for all people with your views. I agree with him on many things, but if he showed up on TV and did something dumb I wouldn't be pissed because I know he does not speak for me. Only I speak for me.
rpscrote 9y ago
he was cowed by their statements. I would've been red in the face pissed the fuck off. Fallacies, bully pulpitting, loaded questions out the ass. I would have talked over that miserable fuck and cross examined the fucker. Roosh didnt come prepared. He could have come knowing Dr. Oz has a slim wife.
Here's an amazingly easy cross examination he should have had prepared. Roosh: "Im only attracted to women under 150 lbs" Dr. Oz. "all women are beautiful you monster" Roosh: "How much does your wife weigh?" Dr. Oz. "that's not rele--" Roosh: "answer the question" Dr. Oz "i'm not the one being quest--" Roosh: "she's slim, not fat, obviously takes care of her body and does all the things I say. Can't be more than 150 lbs. And you chose her. If fat women are so beautiful why dont you have a fat wife?" Dr. Oz. " emotional appealing defensive bullshit" roosh: "so you're a hypocrit"
Put that fucking faggot on the defensive and hammer him until you get him to admit to something stupid. Make him qualify to you. Dominate the gotcha-journalism, slimy, snake oil salesman, worthless piece of shit.

As a comparison, here's a video of Roosh on a Urkranian talk show.

Much calmer and smoother then the Dr. Oz interview, which indicates that whatever happened behind the scenes really shattered his frame.
Espada18 9y ago
I'm glad you posted this; the vibe is completely different, look at all the miserable fat, old hags in the video posted by OP. I'm sure he didn't expect that but even if he did, it'd take some real charisma and balls to pull all those miserable people with negative energy, into your frame. If you closely listen to what he says, it makes absolute sense, but he was severely disrupted by everyone else's negative energy that it seems like he is blabbering nonsense.
Facinating stuff.
[deleted] 9y ago
However, the show seems to be saying that he is a fraud, that the pictures of the women he posted had not actually met him (although, they only came up with two, the others were presumed to be the same). The guy he stayed with claims that he was unsuccessful with girls in the clubs when this guy accompanied him. He is calmer, and I did not watch right to the end to see if he redeemed himself, only to just after Alexey was introduced. Very attractive women, though, if a bit slutty.
Galatre 9y ago
Behind the scenes or just his life in general. Of the prominent RP bloggers, he has become my least favorite and from what I've been reading a lot of guys feel the same.

What made him your least fav?
beerthroway 9y ago
Ukrainian girls are pretty. They also actually dress nice to go into tv also.
On a serious note, that's a stark difference. He had a lot of amused mastery on the Ukrainian show and he seemed like he was getting frustrated or maybe even a bit nervous of saying the wrong thing on Oz.
I wonder if there was some kind of "bullying" going on backstage to break down his mental state before the show.
loin_fruit 9y ago
If you read his site at all, he posted saying that before going out on the show, they called him a monster and we're bullying him.
IllimitableMan 9y ago
Do you know what I do when people try to bully me? I intimidate them or make fun of them. The first one wasn't an option in that situation, so the latter would have sufficed.
[deleted] 9y ago
No that is incorrect, before going on the show everyone treated him incredibly nicely. They were supportive and friendly. Then, right as he goes on the show, Dickter Oz announces him as a monster and a bully. The booing begins, they cherry pick clips, and jump on him.
At this point he says he made the decision to rather than push his point much like Dick did on Dr Phil and come off to the fatties as a monster, that he would not give them the satisfaction of being the monster they want for views and ratings. So he did not push his agenda the entire time but rather stayed calm and did not resort to insults like Dick.
Dick's way was far more entertaining and is probably what I would do in such a situation, but Roosh did not want to give them the satisfaction of that, from what I can tell.
foldpak111 9y ago

Not sure if this was Roosh's intention, but in some ways, coming off as a weak nerd might've been better for our cause. Normal people see this and go, "Wow... these fat whores are getting worked up over a man like THIS?" See also: That really, painfully unfunny MRA skit on SNL that Lena Dunham did.
[deleted] 9y ago
Roosh is too good looking to come off as a weak nerd in this instance lol.
IVIaskerade 9y ago
Not at all. If he'd come off as calm and collected despite the bullshit obviously being thrown his way he could have come out of the interview looking like a king. Instead, he gave them the ammunition they needed to make him look weak, and playing that up wouldn't help our cause at all.

Doctor_Mayhem 9y ago
With the right spin, anything can be a win.
IVIaskerade 9y ago
I disagree. There is such a thing as bad publicity (cf. rape accusations), and frankly the manosphere doesn't want Roosh being a beta bitch. He's a bit of an asshole, but he's our asshole.
bsutansalt 9y ago
He posted a youtube video talking about it. They buttered him up before filming then ambushed him on set once they began filming. It was all very deliberate.
IVIaskerade 9y ago
Even so, it's not hard to stand firm in the face of attacks against you, to keep calm and simply refuse to rise to the bait, especially once you know that that's the aim of the show.
Like Karen Straughan did in the TYT interview when faced with Cenk's idiocy, Roosh should have held frame. He's there on the set with them, so he can easily maintain good eye contact and comfortable body language. Refusing to engage with their emotional bullshit and sticking solely to the hard facts that cannot be disputed means that it would be hard to fight against him without looking delusional.
Even if he was caught by surprise, he should have held frame and not shown it. Even if his mind is racing as fast as it possibly can, he should have remained impassive and unfailingly polite.
RPthrowaway123 9y ago
I think even the strongest people can be beset by the sort of shit that gets pulled in media outlets these days. Did they embarrass the hell out of him? Yes, but when you are all buttered up behind the scenes and then suddenly shoved out onto a bright stage to have people scream at you, even Roosh can lose his frame.
[deleted] 9y ago
He needs to take a public speaking class.
georgedonnelly 9y ago
Roosh handled it really well, I think. I'm impressed. He looks reasonable and intelligent and maintained frame. He was calm, despite Oz's underhanded insults and the fact that he barely got a chance to say anything at all.
Maybe he didn't look at Oz because Oz is such a disgusting white knight who lacks any integrity or sense of fair play or equal time. I don't like to look at people I don't respect either.

I never claimed he did, but that is often the case with the condition which is why I saw it relevant, particularly when assessing the value of an individual.
Your logic sounds like something that could be used to make anything sound okay.
[fat people, prostitutes, pedophiles, murderers, etc] may not have a rewarding life in everyone else's eyes but usually they feel like they have a rewarding life... that can be applied to most anything. Does not really change their value to society though.

There's only one thing I want to know from Roosh. "What did you learn from this? What's the strategy for next time?"
The simple fact of the matter is that in that room, Oz came across as dominant.
[deleted] 9y ago
In that room after being filtered by the editing room... On more than one occasion I could tell they added voice over to the scenes, particularly when panning on Roosh and having Oz talking, I know he wasn't actually talking.
hatertauts 9y ago
True. This could be defended against by controlling body language, but only to a certain extent.
a) Roosh was lulled into complacency expecting dialogue not rhetorical assault
b) The audience was primed to view Roosh with negativity
c) Roosh was victim to numerous emotionally based ad hominem attacks which interrupted any logical persuasion which might have otherwise occurred
d) The audience would not have wanted to believe Roosh. Pearls before swine
e) Oz utilized his credentials. Oz repeatedly said things in the vein of "I want to diagnose you" which being a doctor he supposedly has the credibility to do (in reality he is not a psychiatrist and has neither the credentials nor the basis of evidence to do so).
f) Any good points Roosh may have had would have been edited out
g) Roosh's body language would have been edited to show him in the most unflattering light
h) I understand that Roosh is likely feeling very victimized (as he should) but I don't think that providing multiple accounts of how victimized he is (the video, the blog post) will serve any purpose beyond making him seem petulant. At this point it's likely best that this dies.
As Red Pill knowledge grows, this sort of thing will happen more and more.
Hypotheses on how to defend against this:
a) Know what to expect going in, understand the past behavior of interviewer and then defend accordingly. TV is feminine in its mores and presentation, so watch the actions not the words.
b) I don't know how to guard against this. Someone with more knowledge and experience will have to pipe in. My hypothesis would be that you would have to have some way of going on the offensive immediately to win over the audience and possibly even the host.
c) Call him on the Ad Hominem? Call out the circle-jerk? Again there may be a more effective route to take, but I don't know it. The noobiness (mine) is strong here.
d) shrug
e) Poke holes in Oz's credibility at the outset. The Columbia board thing and the fact that Oz is not a psychiatrist go against Oz I'm certain there's more. While the statement of discrediting will certainly get edited out, Oz's discomfort and perturbation may come though regardless.
f) The only thing here is to give them less to work with
g) It's pretty tough to edit out the Host's discomfort if you create it from the get go. If you establish dominance from the outset then, it's much easier to keep it. However, Roosh entered at a severe psychological disadvantage. I doubt he or any other leader in the community will make the same mistake again.
This is the best I've got, someone with more experience can probably pull out a lot more from this.
EDIT: a couple words and readability

Sure, but I doubt that the show would agree to that. Hell, journalists don't agree to that unless some bit of information is likely to get someone fired, financially ruined, persecuted or dead.
juanqunt 9y ago
The problem is that Dr. Oz is very very Red Pill in the worst Dark Triad ways. He is a master TV performer and con-artist, and he has the home field advantage, so of course he's gonna win.
Law 38: Think as you do, but behave like others
Law 27: Play on others' needs to believe to create a cult following
Law 12: Use selective honesty to disarm your opponents
Law 32: Play to people's fantasies
Roosh had the balls to go on stage and probably did as well as any of us could have done in that situation. He was simply outmatched by Dr. Oz, who's an absolute expert at public speaking and sophist debate.
JP_Whoregan 9y ago
I honestly don't know what the fuck he was thinking. As the timeless saying goes, "No good can come of this."
But on a side note, am I the only one that finds it casually ironic that Dr. Oz spends so much damn time teaching fat women how to get thin, while at the same time telling them they should be proud of being fat?
elrayem 9y ago
Casually Ironic?
If it wasn't such a hugely profitable business case, one might even think it was coincidental.

Public shame Roosh for fat-shaming, where's the logic
[deleted] 9y ago
Yeah, I wouldn't have gone through with it.
Though it was expertly done, and cynically timed. Oz definitely needed some good publicity this week. Some of the SJWs I knew before I got rid of FB probably moved very quickly from hating on Oz for his intellectual dishonesty re: GMOs and supplements, right to wanting to polish his pole for standing up to Roosh, demon that he is.

He could live a live of luxury without the bullshit, though. He's good at what he does. Too bad he decided to shred his credibility and reputation. Granted, he built up enough of a following that he's likely to weather any storm; thankfully, for him, critical thinking individuals are a minority.
juanqunt 9y ago
Exactly. Oz is a natural machiavellian and psychopath.

Look at clip one - part four, around 1/4 of the way through the clip the camera pans to the audience. Look at the two older women on the back row on the right. She's smiling because she knows he's speaking a lot of unpopular truth's.

Although it was obviously heavily edited, he should know better and be better at handling aggression. Never was a huge fan of him but this kind of confirms my apprehension.
_eskimo_brothers_ 9y ago
I noticed that from the preview posted earlier. I thought there is no way he's not actually keeping eye contact, so I didn't think anything of it. I assumed they simply are editing it so it looks like he never looks at Dr. Oz.

"I am gluten free, fat free, sugar free"
Okay lady, you got ONE of those right.
foldpak111 9y ago
I remember that part and immediately saying to myself "and yet you sneak carbohydrates when no ones looking then act like it never happened.' it's physically impossible to be at her size if you're gluten free, fat free, and sugar free. You need the calories to maintain that size. By the way, a nutritionist would never put you on a fat free diet, that's extremely dangerous to your health.
_eskimo_brothers_ 9y ago
It's like... you do know Diet Soda is still Soda right?
-CONTRABAND- 9y ago
Diet soda isn't really that bad.
The acidity can be bad for your teeth, and sweeteners might disagree with some people, but diet soda has no calories, so that wouldn't be the cause of her fatness
Get your facts straight. Don't make me defend a fatty again.
_eskimo_brothers_ 9y ago
Love your last line, but I'm going to have to disagree, respectfully.
A huge portion of "Soda" drinkers switched to diet, yet they don't lose weight. They still will be at a severe disadvantage to someone who doesn't drink soda. It absolutely can cause and continue any weight gain.
Some of it you can't even see, like skinny people who eat and drink shit, their visceral fat around their organs is at dangerous levels. Plus the fact that when their metabolism does slow down, they are going to be so unhealthy at that point they will have to work very hard to get healthy.
Information:
-CONTRABAND- 9y ago
This first link is correlation, not causation.
The second link is the same link just reworded.
The third link is a duplicate of the second link.
The fourth link is the same as the first three, just in an annoying click list.
This is not mounting evidence, it's one correlation rewritten 3 times and duplicated once.
It is just as easy to say that people who drink diet soda are more likely to have habits that result in weight gain.
I've lost 60lbs this last year from Keto, diet soda has not slowed me down a bit.
Get this shit out of here, that wasn't even evidence. You trying to pull a fast one on me?
_eskimo_brothers_ 9y ago
I made a mistake re-posting the same link.
This is all the same study, because I did simply pull from three sources to make sure they all were saying the same thing. This is really only citing one main study. Non-soda, even non-diet soda drinkers will be better of health wise, and it does correlate to weight gain and waist circumference - especially so as it states in older people.
Over the age of 65: They determined that daily and occasional diet soda drinkers gained nearly three times as much belly fat as non-drinkers, after they ruled out other factors such as age, exercise and smoking.
I drink 1-2 cups of coffee every day with sugar and creamer, I know that adds calories, the diet-soda doesn't need calories to affect your insulin levels and can cause other health issues.
Clearly, your keto diet and I assume active lifestyle are the main reason for a large loss of weight. Congratulations on losing a large amount. But as you get older continuing to drink diet soda will increase your waist size most likely. If your activity level becomes that of most Americans for example, there will be stomach fat gain. Diet soda hasn't slowed you down, but you'd probably see better results without it, or at least feel better without it. Does that mean you're going to change? No, of course not, you're going to do what you want. There are plenty of reasons to not drink alcohol, but that doesn't mean someone is going to stop that completely either unless they really decide to.

Dr. Oz is a joke, so I don't think it's that big of a deal. Reading his side of the story makes it even clearer that the entire thing was a sham.
robertpaulsontitties 9y ago
Yes but creating a false sense of security followed by a sucker punch are exactly the kind of head games that you should expect from your enemies. When your enemy is being nice to you is precisely when the hairs on the back of your neck should be standing at attention.
RPthrowaway123 9y ago
Yes definitely. I just meant that Dr. Oz is a moron, with little to no credibility other than what fatties and old women give him. This was particularly low though - Roosh had to know what he would be walking into.
[deleted] 9y ago
Roosh should have said that people change when they are given a reason to change, not when they are given a reason to remain the same to Dr. Oz 's statement of making people feel special in order to lose weight
ConfidenceMatters 9y ago
You don't need to be a great public speaker to demolish the pretty lies.
In fact, you don't have to be a great public speaker or even a great debater to demolish Dr. Oz.
Dude printed out 50 pages that "proved" fat-shaming doesn't work.
I would have 1000 pages proving
1) obesity isn't healthy
2) obesity is sign of mental illnesses
3) mental illness leads to promiscuity/sluthood
4) sluts make terrible wives and mothers
5) children that live in homes/marriages where the mothers are terrible grow up with a higher chance to, simply put, fail at life and negatively affect their peers, and thus, society as a whole.
I'd also have studies show that Men respond more logically to the world they live in, and thus need to be approached logically, whereas women are the more emotionally-tuned sex, therefore need to be approached emotionally (that's why we are hardwired to shame, and why shame stings, and why it can help you correct habits).
I'd also have links/cites that prove fat-acceptance and slut-acceptance and careerism (all promoted by feminism) hurt women WAY more than they help, and is correlated with low libido and DEPRESSION among women.
What's insane is that ROK has articles with a plethora of links proving all of this shit, and Roosh didn't use any of the resources he had at his fingertips.
Everything Dr. Oz said was erroneous and it could have been demolished. Everything those women said could have been demolished as well.
It's just insane how many are simply not prepared. Hell, even on here people don't know what it is to cite/back up what they say with concrete evidence.
a1004 9y ago
A guy approach a girl for the first time and write an article in Seddit explaining the weird interaction: everyone says he is great and has a lot of courage.
Roosh goes to one place where he will be shunned and publicly flogged - and he knows. And he does not have the biggest balls in the world, he is weird because does not hold eye contact.

coffee_and_lumber 9y ago
There's very very little chance this one man would ever be able to cut through the massive emotional wall those women were putting up. He made them feel bad about themselves simply by appearing on the show. They were ready for this guy going in. Why on earth would they listen to any rational thing he had to say after that? That said, he didn't do himself any favors with his weak frame and cadence. I certainly don't think I would do better in that environment. But I'd also not have chosen to engage on that particular battlefield.
Roosh was right though. It's entirely possible to shame a fat man into looking at himself and changing. I bet we have quite a few of those with us on this sub. A woman has a much different (read: infuriatingly tedious and inefficient) process. When compared to a man, they are horrible at fixing things, especially themselves.
What's a better situation for society? One where we encourage people to be healthy and thin, or one where we just accept everyone's poor choices? It's not like it's normal or natural through human history to have this many heavy people. Our cheap, heavily marketed, industrialized food is a big contributor. Which means it boils down to choices, discipline and will rather than genetics or environment.
Even these overweight women on this show...if they saw a high value man with a schlubby fat woman and then saw that same man with a solid HB9, in which instance would they rate him more attractive? (assuming you could get them to admit their true opinion.)
foldpak111 9y ago
I was shamed for being skinny fat and even got bullied for being small. Best thing that ever happened to me. I look at all the guys that picked on me, and if they tried me now... oh man, bad day for them.

He wasn't there to change anybody's minds. He was there to get shit on. He made some money and got some practice dealing with some extreme situations.
If you thought that they would let him talk, or even look like he was holding frame, you are delusional. The whole situation was engineered to do exactly what it did, there was no wiggle room for him.
foldpak111 9y ago
He's gonna get a lot more views for that. Kind of the way RP's recruiters are it's haters, Dr. Oz is gonna make him lots of money.
PartyTrickster 9y ago
Yes, but he did fuck up. He didn't even hold eye contact. I'm not saying he should be castigated for this, but let's not pretend that he didn't have a shot at coming out on top.
SplashArtist 9y ago
Its because he was emotionally uncomfortable. He was uncertain of himself and didn't have core confidence. He doesn't have my respect to be honest.
prodigyx 9y ago
I have a feeling that since they controlled the whole thing from start to finish everything and anything he could have possibly done to make himself look good was edited out. I know we all wanted to see him kick ass, but I think it was an unrealistic expectation.
PartyTrickster 9y ago
Here are some things Roosh should've done that would've survived false editing.
Above all, for the love of God, at least eye contact. At least a modicum of confidence. I don't hold it against Roosh that he didn't do these things (again, nerves are a bitch), but it's ridiculous to say there's nothing he could've done.
newls 9y ago
I have some experience in being interviewed by the media. Him not doing 2. or 3. was a rookie error. If you're being interviewed you should actually hope to get an aggressive interrogation, because that puts the audience on your side.
You can derail any lines of questioning by attacking single words in their sentences, like '"frequently"? What do you mean "frequently"?' Or you can go on the attack yourself to turn the pressure onto the interviewer, like 'you've clearly never read this report, have you?'
prodigyx 9y ago
Yeah after watching the clips again, I have to agree with you. I would downvote my previous statements because it is just some BP hamstering. Despite the fact that he was set up to fail, he knew exactly what he was getting into, and making excuses for him missing the absolute basics is really just my way of coping with seeing someone I have respect for fail to practice what he preaches.
foldpak111 9y ago
A trick that I've always used to help me with stressful situations was meditation, cold approach, and a cold shower. Maybe it's just me, but I find job interviews high stress, and doing those three things certainly helped.

It's because he fucking is, his fucking stilted staccato cadence and mediocre writing aren't enough to offset his first-to-market status on the 'manosphere' or whatever you want to call it. His star will continue to fall.
apachemd 9y ago
Roosh did not do very well. If it was just me and Dr. Oz, I personally would have crushed him. But, being in front of lights, 200 fat women in the audience, on TV, etc -- that admittedly may have negatively affected my performance. Dr. Oz is easily beatable on this, and Roosh has the know-how to have done it, but I think he just joked this time. It happens to all of us sometimes.
