How to Look Like Billy Walsh and Get Laid Like Vinny Chase
A few weeks ago, I ran across the following post during a Google search: http://www.dcbachelor.com/2005/top-9-dating-tips-for-women.
Intrigued, I contacted the site’s author, Roosh Valizadeh, who was kind enough to send over a copy of his book Bang for review…

Simply put, Bang is Roosh Valizedah’s 140-page manifesto on getting laid.
Roosh, formerly known as “DC Bachelor,” runs a personal blog dedicated to his tales and travels (with an emphasis on sex and women, of course) at www.RooshV.com. The 28 year-old former microbiologist spent most of his life frustrated with his lack of success with women until one fateful spring day in 2001–when he discovered the innocuously-titled Tony’s Lay Guide after clicking through a random link on a message board.
Now six years and countless encounters later, Roosh has written his own instruction manual on rounding-the-bases with the opposite sex. Now, the question you’re probably pondering is: Does this guy know what he’s talking about?
I believe so. Bang is a dense but informative read, full of advice even the most weathered Casanovas and “pick-up artists” can appreciate. The book wastes no time in breaking things down bit-by-bit from the approach to the date to the bedroom. For those of you who are more familiar with the whole “pick-up community,” Bang strikes a good balance between the structured, sequential “Mystery Method” and the more free-flowing “Charisma Arts.”
If there’s one chapter that stands out more than others, it’s the one titled “Late Game,” which breaks down the step-by-step (or article of clothing-by-article of clothing) journey from the end of the date to the end of the orgasm. The chapter titled “Internal Game” is another highlight, as it discusses the most powerful sexual magnet of all–the human mind. The odds-and-ends Appendix also serves up a great variety of tidbits, from approaching girls in cars to dealing with girls who suck (in a bad way) in the sack. I do wish that more specifics on body language and its importance were presented in the book–a minor complaint, all in all.
Bang will probably serve most useful to those who are already experiencing some success with women, or who are at least taking steps (and seeing improvements) in their dating life. If you’re 23 years old and have never been on a date in your life, then you’re probably better off reading Neil Strauss’ The Game and David DeAngelo’s Double Your Dating first to eliminate skeptical or limiting beliefs and obtain a better understanding of why women do the sometimes crazy things that they do.
Like all other decent pick-up books, Bang is simply one man’s method: nothing less, nothing more. It’s just one more tool in your ever-growing repertoire. So keep an open mind, incorporate what helps, and disregard what doesn’t. There’s always more than one way to skin a cat–or get laid, for that matter.
