The Roosh Program

May 9, 2012 Game Roosh

I want to share a game program for those of who are starting

from scratch, regardless of age. It’s not meant to turn you into a Casanova, but it will quickly
take your game above the mainstream average. It’s also useful for beta males who just got

a dumped. Every step in the program is essential and must be followed if you want it to be
effective. Here we go…

d 1. Start a workout routine. Working out will surely improve your appearance, but there are
f two other reasons that are more important: (1) to increase your testosterone levels, and (2) to
increase your confidence. Both are absolutely vital for successful pickup. If there’s a gym near
s you, I recommend Starting Strength, which I’ve personally seen strong results from. If you can’t
afford a gym, buy Convict Conditioning, a bodyweight and calisthenic program. Within only one
month you will see noticeable gains.

2. Get your hands on a game resource. As you know I’ve written two game books, Bang
and Day Bang, but there are other options as well. Mystery Method is one of the more
important books in the field and, if you don’t want to pay anything at all, you can go with the
free Layguide, a resource I started with. Be sure to take notes on whichever resource you select.
I don’t advise using The Game as a resource because it’s more of a memoir, with only a cursory
glance at specific game techniques.

3. Do 100 approaches. You need to get a feel for game, its structure, tempo, and how cold
conversations work. This is going to be a rough period for you because chances are you won’t
get laid from your first 100, but realize that all players have gone through this stage. I
recommend 10-20 approaches a week in either day or night settings. Don’t mix the two because
their game is very different and doing both will confuse you. If you already go out at night, for
example, then do your first 100 at night. You must also understand that 100 means 100. It
doesn’t mean 30, it doesn’t mean 60. There is no shortcut to this step. If you don’t do the 100
approaches, you’re not doing the program.

4. Watch one episode of Seinfeld a day. Seinfeld is an American comedy program that will
teach you two things: (1) how to spit humor that girls like, and (2) how to have long,
meandering conversations (i.e. how to ramble). What’s great about the show is that it offers
quintessential American humor that will be well-received anywhere in the country, and even in
foreign countries as well. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve successfully used word-for-word
bits from the show in my pickups. The best time to watch an episode is right before heading out
to approach. You can find used DVDs of the show for only a few bucks.

5. Limit masturbation to only one day a week. You’re not going to be too motivated to
the challenging task of approaching girls if you’re not horny. Therefore you must greatly curtail
your masturbation habits to only one day a week, preferably an off day like Sunday. You want
your weighted balls to push you to approach since there is no option of release through your
overused hand.

6. Write down notes and observations in a dedicated player notebook. Learning

game bombards your brain with so much information and data that it’s necessary to write notes
from your field experiences. Record lines that worked and lines that didn’t. Jot down specific
venues you did well at. Write your conclusions from episodes of success or failure. I also want
you to keep track of your daily approach count to know when you’ve gotten to 100. Your player
notebook will eventually be a personal bible that reminds you of all the lessons you’ve learned.

7. Read one new book every two weeks. My old recommendation was to read only one
book per month, but I no longer consider that to be enough. Reading is important because it
sends a waterfall of words through your brain that want to come out during conversation. The
biggest problem beginners have is maintaining interesting chats, a gap that book reading and
Seinfeld viewing help narrow. If you’re looking for book ideas, I’ve reviewed over one-hundred.
Many will give you excellent fodder for conversation.

a 8. After your 100 approaches, take two weeks off to reflect. Spend days in the coffee
shop with your player notebook to take further notes and review the things you have learned.

d Instead of blindly continuing, I want you to break down your 100 and then come up with a plan
for your next 100. Where are you failing? What are your sticking points? What is the feedback

f that girls have been giving you? What are some changes you can make to improve your results?
Re-consult your game resource if you have to. Ask questions on the forum if you don’t know
s how to solve a problem, but don’t ask a thing until you’ve done your first 100.

9. Repeat steps 3 through 8 while still working out. Stick to the initial venue you started
with (if you did your first 100 at night, stick to night for the next 100). This allows you to build
real competency. Don’t try to switch just because it’s difficult, because both are difficult in their
own way.

Most newbies will not get laid in their first cycle of 100 (maybe not even a date), but a few
number closes should hopefully occur. In the second cycle you should start to see dates or
intimacy if you did step number 8 correctly and identified your weaknesses. Some others who
start off with low social ability will take even longer, maybe four or five cycles. It doesn’t matter
how many cycles it takes as long as you focus on your goal and refuse to stop until you get what
you want. If you find yourself wanting to quit like a little pussy, watch one of the following
YouTube clips and then go out and give me at least five approaches…

Powerful beyond measure

I am a champion
How bad do you want it?
Inch by inch
Pain is temporary

There’s a man inside you that is being held back, dying to be released from the pitiful sexless
existence he’s trapped in. I know this to be true because your ancestors were real men who
survived a much harsher world than the one you are being coddled in. Now go put in the work
to release him.
