Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2007

Bang is a pickup textbook intended for men who weren't born with the natural ability to sleep with a lot of women. It contains simple but powerful techniques, moves, and lines that offer a direct line to casual sex. 

Bang includes...

• Best answers to a girl's common questions that heighten the tension and build attraction
• A technique to get her phone number without asking for it
• Detailed text messaging strategy that shows you word-for-word how to get dates in the shortest amount of time possible (no need to make voice calls)
• The one text messaging mistake 95% of guys make that kill the interaction
• A simple trick for the first date that will make her feel like she has known you longer than she actually has

Bang goes into explicit detail on how to escalate to intimacy...

• "Four key moves" to the kiss that are so natural and easy to pull off that the girl won't even recognize them as moves
• A comprehensive dating strategy so you bang her no later than the third date
• The 5 magic words to say when you want to get inside her place
• How to make a smooth transition to the bedroom 
• 7 detailed steps to taking off her clothes

There is also an appendix that covers unique situations you may face...

• How to approach girls in coffee shops, the gym, and foreign countries
• How to prevent a girl from seeing you as too young or too old
• A bonus "cheat sheet" that contains six of the most crucial points you need to remember when it's time to pickup girls

Dozens of additional topics are logically organized into five chapters...

• Internal Game. How to build your confidence and adopt the correct beliefs that maximize your notch count
• Early Game. How to meet women, have good conversations, build attraction, and get either numbers, kisses, or one-night stands
• Middle Game. How to set up a date along with what to do and say while out on them
• Late Game. How to seal the deal and plan for future dates
• End Game. How to take your results to the next level

The lessons taught in this no-nonsense, no-fluff textbook aim to help men reach their sex potential based on their existing look and status. 

(This is the second edition of Bang, released in summer 2010.)

5.0 out of 5 stars The unappreciated, overlooked, Giant April 10, 2011

By Samseau

Format:Paperback

Allow me to convince you that Bang is superior to other seduction books; a contender among the greats.

If you've read some other seduction literature, such as from Lovesystems, Real Social Dynamics, Tony's Lay Guide, Carlos Xuma, Mehow, Paul Janka, or (insert any PUA here), then you've probably noticed that all of these books suffer from one of two flaws:

1. The book focuses on the game plan of how to have sex with her, but leaves out the specifics of how to become such a man to have sex with her. Or, if they do talk about how to become such a man, it usually involves gimmick appeals to money, fame, or fashion in order to "display higher value". (*cough*lovesystems/mystery method/Janka*cough*)

2. The book focuses on how to become the kind of guy who lands lots of women, but does not focus on how one should go about structuring their life and time to form the game plan to bed women. (*cough*realsocialdynamics/xuma*cough*)

If you haven't read the aforementioned books, know that Bang avoids these two extremes for ordinary men of modest means. Roosh depicts the kind of journey necessary to develop a happy sex life while also detailing the subtle intricacies of an individual seduction. By painting a complete picture of a chatty man who confidently pursues his targets, Bang has more utility than virtually any other book on scoring girls so one can read, read, and reread while still finding more ways to improve.

Although the ideas presented within Bang take from the Mystery Method, Roosh goes beyond the foundational text with a minimalist approach to the lifestyle component of game and presents the barest sufficiencies of turning on a woman and sexing her. Extraneous material, such as fashion, complex routines, advanced textgame, social proof, preselection, etc. are either omitted, mentioned in passing, or given summary in the appendix. The focus is on the essentials of game, while the rest is pared away so the reader can see clearly what is superfluous.

Detractors of Bang might claim that this book is only for American culture, or is too focused on night game. But American culture has infested the entire world; meaning Bang will be relevant at least for the next decade in a large variety of countries. Night game has been prominent since the 1920's in all developed countries and has spread across the globe; it doesn't look to change anytime soon. Moreover, the switch from night to day game is not such a huge transition that the principles learned in bars no longer apply: game is game.

I suppose that after reading this book one might feel dissatisfied, because it makes sex and women look so bland and simple. It may be painful to realize how little is needed to attract women. Some men might even claim Bang presents falsehoods of things that could never happen for any other man except Roosh, but such men are unable to recognize the beauty of Roosh's playstyle and how easily it may conform to any player's life regardless of their situation or station. There is truth in this tome. It would not be a surprise if fifty years from now, along with Roissy's blog, Bang still has some applicability for men looking to score.

There is also the added bonus that Bang is a pleasurable read, unencumbered with nerdy PUA jargon and in the style of how books were written for the last two millennia before the rise and proliferation of the internet's "info ebook". It is organized well enough that the reader can easily find old passages for further edification, all the while laced with Roosh's ironic humor that is his style of game.

I could describe the successes I've had following this sleeper gem, but your time would be better spent by paying a meager price and reading a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Should Buy This Book August 3, 2011

By KOBA

Format:Paperback

I learned about Roosh from various Internet blogs that I read. Every single one of them spoke highly of "Bang" and especially of Roosh on a personal level. After I learned my friend had a copy of the first edition I borrowed it from him and read the book in a couple of days. I was so impressed that immediately went to Roosh's site and ordered the second edition as an ebook.

Here are my thoughts after reading the book twice thus far. First, I've listened to or read a lot of the "PUA" material out there because I'm always looking to better myself as a man and to understand more about personal relationships. I find a lot of the information in this genre is generally reworked `self-help' stuff and rehashed Mystery Method tips; but Roosh's `Bang' is completely different. He goes into detail about the mindset necessary to be successful with the opposite sex but focuses mainly on practical, real world advice that you can implement into your life immediately. His thoughts on cold approaching have been invaluable to me and I would easily pay twice or three times what he charges for the book for the second chapter alone.

I usually don't take the time to review products or books but I have read "Bang" several times and can personally attest to the immense worth of this book. Roosh's insights have made a positive impact on me as a person and helped my life to become more enjoyable. Thanks Roosh!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best "Game" Book I've Ever Read April 14, 2012

By Steve T

Format:Paperback

I really like this book. I've read "The Game," I've read the Mystery stuff, and all that. It always seemed too nerdy for me. This book gets down to business and tells you straight up how to pick up chicks. And I like it. I think my "game" has improved since reading this, if for nothing else than the fact that I now don't really worry about how to stand/look/act when I go out. I either go for it, or do nothing. And what I've realized is that girls approach ME when I'm not thinking about all that crap I just described in the last sentence. And I think that's a lot of what this dude Roosh V is trying to get across. Even if you're not getting action regularly, if you stop caring so much, you'll seem like a cool guy and girls will want to talk to you.

Anyway, that's my two cents, and I'm no expert. But I did really like this book, and I'd recommend it to any guy in his 20s. Not "any guy in his 20s who is interested in learning more..." or anything like that. No. ANY GUY in his 20s.
