Roosh's Brazil Compendium: Pickup Tips, City Guides, And Stories Paperback – January 2, 2011

You'll notice that self absorbed narcisistic feminists have infected this page with one star reviews - most likely without having read the book. The people who write these reviews hate men and have a political agenda and their reviews are not real. Many of them are trying to promote fascism where free speech is punished. I think many of them have low IQs because they seem to lack the ability to differentiate between various states of thought and are unable to understand or trace social movements and how they develop.I personally spoke to one of these women and she didn't even know who Gloria Steinem was - yet she was babbling away about one of Roosh's meetings that "was being held as a rally to promote rape." Huh? We're talking about a very under educated and manipulated group of women here. Be careful and check facts before being taken by their propaganda.That being said, the book is a fairly well written account of the differences between the women in Brazil and other places. Yes folks, various cultures are different when it comes to gender and ignoring that it is exists won't make it go away.It's probably a good book to read for any guy who is looking to date Brazilian women or go to Brazil with the expectation of dating them. Of course it would be wise to get other opinions as this is just one viewpoint, albeit an honest one. There are always exceptions and one should use balanced judgement when making assumptions about race or gender.

You will not discover much ground breaking information. I bought the book and read it in one day. In book he compare Brazilian women to American women. He compares Brazilian men approach to women to his own style. He discusses cities he has traveled to and compares his experiences. It is not a very well rounded comparison. He basically touches on each cities types of social settings( restaurants ,night clubs and whether or not there are beaches). He discusses whether women in each city are approachable or not. He then discusses his experience in Rio and gives pointers based on his experiences at night clubs and other social settings. He also tries give an idea of his experience with local based social classes. The part of the book he tells stories. One about living in a dorm with in Brazil. Another about having his drinks almost being stolen by a drunk Brazilian women. The third about renting q dune buggy and getting it stuck on a hill. The last one is about an actress whom he met on his last day in Brazil. How he had this great connection with her even though he could not understand her because she was learning English and only spoke Portuguese. He finally ends the book by filling the last pages with comments of people that follow his blog. It a book if you want to get a bit of incite about places to go in Brazilian cities for food, drinks, clubbing etc.. This is not a seduction book as the title suggests.

Not worth it.

Let me first say that I've only read snippets of this book. But that was enough. I'll share a particularly vile one, from which I've censored a vulgarity. "If you are a guy and you look at a Brazilian girl, your mind jumps to sexual thoughts much faster than usual. Since it is not because she is more attractive, I think it’s a combination of body type and body language. Having a larger than average [bottom] helps. Argentine girls are beautiful dolls you want to show off on your arm, but Brazilian girls you want to get to the bedroom as soon as possible."Why is this book available on Amazon? Why? At best, it seems to be a field guide to how to have a one-night stand; at worst, a manual on how to commit rape. This and all other materials by Roosh V should be removed from Amazon. Ladies, you deserve a real man, not a sexual predator who is male. Roosh V's material is monstrous and this book is dangerous.

Let's start with Fortaleza. I was there in July, time of the winter holidays in Sao Paolo and Rio. The people in Fortaleza were Beautiful People from the big city. They were gorgeous, many blonde, both guys and girls. It was a wonder to observe, a chance to dance, but absolutely nothing more. Beach was nice but kind of common, public. None of the beautiful people visible during the day. Moral of the story: time and circumstance have a lot to do with what you see.I spent time in Juazeiro do Norte, in the cerrado. Cowboy country. They had wonderful country dances. Local dance is the forro (Fo-Ho) which involves booty shaking on a scale unimaginable even in the US. (NB 2013: Miley Cyrus is catching up.) Well worth watching. As a married guy at the time and the leader of a Habitat group I was not in a position to try anything out. Would have been cautious in any case. You don't want to mess with drunken cowboys in a foreign country.Brazilians dance spontaneously. Dance has to be your entree. They had elections while I was in Juazeiro. Sound truck s everywhere. And, after blaring their message in the neighborhood, one of them parked in the center and put on dance music. People started to dance. This gringo found a woman of a certain age, ie, too old to be interesting but much younger than me, who was a hell of a good dancer. Found the same to be true in another cowboy town, Maraba, on an anthropology trip to spend time with an Indian tribe a couple of years later. When they found we were from America, a couple of the girls got very, very friendly. Once again, decorum required that I only observe, but what I observed was that it was there for the taking.Take this as three data points, only one of which overlaps Roosh' travels, and which for fully understandable reasons doesn't fully coincide.

I discovered this book shortly after returning from a trip to Brazil to celebrate Carnaval in Rio. With my experiences fresh on the brain, I was eager to read about someone else's experiences. I immediately dove into this little book and finished it in one sitting. As far as advice on Rio, Carnaval, and the women of Brazil, I thought Roosh's observations were right on the money. Any man traveling down to Rio would be a fool to not pay the minimal price of this guide to arm himself with a lot of useful information on what to do and where to go for having a great time in Brazil.

What a letdown of a book. There are plenty of free blogs available on the net which are richer and more colourful than this slapdash personal diary of a wannabe casanova. No game whatsoever! Although I agree with some of his non PC insights on my own culture, one cannot really call this a source of useful game tactics as advertised. Nit recommended.
