Forgive me for missing out on this post. I have to say thank you making it. Your sentiments is similar to the mine.

It was one of sad misstep that Roosh made in spiritual journey. Game was original for picking up chicks evolved into men dealing with their inner game and handling their issues. This is something that Roosh last game book address. Its not about methods to pick up girls but making a better version of yourself. The misguidance given to him made him go to the extreme to eliminate the game section from the forums and his books. Sad thing is the game section had hints of game changing again. Most of the PUA were starting note the difficult to have relationship as the number of notches made them incapable of pair bonding compare to girls with many partners.  If Roosh allow the Game section to continue, we might as well see the game refined again for men to understand the dangerous of pick up and focus on finding better partner.

As Hearsite said, the game is dangerous tool for the inexperience. Its fire that can lights one&#039;s world, but burn it down in the careful. If Roosh didn&#039;t go into the extremes, he be able guide men to use the Game in a more positive fashion tailored to Christian worldview.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am also skeptical of Roosh&#039;s motives for a couple of reasons :

i) Being over 40 now, and needlessly doing things that made him infamous (and not in the way that chicks dig), means he can&#039;t sustain the PUA life anymore, even in EE.
ii) He definitely can&#039;t earn a living in almost any way anymore.  Fully deplatformed, and certainly not capable of returning to Molecular Biology, he is done.   Working in construction or on an oil rig are his options, at this point.  
iii) Hence, becoming a priest or monk at some obscure Christian monastery is his strategy for room and board for the rest of his life.

					<description><![CDATA[Roosh swinging to extremes make me suspicious of anything he says.

His utter renunciation of Game (which he defines narrowly) strikes me as haphazard.  Anyone who does a 180-degree shift is likely to do so again in the future.

Plus, what is unfortunate is that Roosh&#039;s sudden discovery of Christianity was just as Dalrock shut shop.  Dalrock, as a much more mature Christian who was also in favor of Game (i.e. the broader definition of Game) might have been a good source for Roosh.  Dalrock was the best in terms of proving there is no incompatibility between the red pill and Christianity.  His archives are still up (for now), fortunately.  

Roosh&#039;s recent weirdness also seems to conveniently forget everything he used to know, such as a) women are hypergamous, b) almost no attractive women are virgins, and c) divorce court is rigged against men, no matter how &#039;Christian&#039; you are.  

I also suspect that he was never actually good at Game beyond one-night-stands.  For someone now extolling monogamous relationships with godly women, he doesn&#039;t seem to be able to secure one himself.

 Robert is giving advice for secular people  and may not understand that this blog is mostly Believers 

Still he has some point. Sacrifice without a corresponding benefit is narcissistic and self destructive.  Jesus gave Himself to save mankind .Odin game himself to himself to save his people and help mankind also. Both were worthy. 

Now Christian men must marry and be fruitful and even when they cannot have children  should adopt within the community.  Unfortunately and  this is why Orthodox divorce rates are high, the secular wold even where its not anti Christian, doesn&#039;t support it. 

THis makes it tougher but at least you aren&#039;t being thrown to  Lions , yet anyway ;) 

The Christian MGTOW is reserved for Monks, Clergy in some denominations and on rare occasion those who build for the community, someone 
 like  da Vinci 

As I see it Sacrificing for a relationship when your partner is an endless back hole of damage not gained from accident within marriage is wrong since presumably someone capable of doing their Christian duty could be in a relationship with you.

					<description><![CDATA[Just wait, Neo, until you discover they&#039;re the same pill ...

But we know what you&#039;re really addicted to, Neo.

Choice.

[reveals a giant room with fifty million bottles full of pills of various shades of blue, red, and other colours]

Oh, you don&#039;t care to partake today?

You could not possibly try every choice in your lifetime, but yet, here this is, always waiting for you.

Choice is the means by which you fool your mind into believing you have  more agency than you have.

So go ahead, Neo: we&#039;ll be back here tomorrow, and then you may choose again.]]></description>

On some level, you do have to compromise, but it doesn&#039;t have to be the absolute core of the activities or thoughts that preoccupy your life with.

Well yes, but that&#039;s kind of the problem with Roosh. He&#039;s pointed out recently that game is for broken women. But that is a classic example of selection bias if I ever saw one.

I&#039;m very much of the view that men and women attract partners who reflect their own flaws. I have seen this for myself firsthand in my own relationships, such as they are. Roosh was broken to his very core by his family experiences and sought out women who reflected his own problems. That helps explain why he was so successful, but it also explains why he was never really happy. He self-selected for women that were genuinely not good.

If he swings for the other extreme and finds a woman who is a religious nut, and trust me you can spot them from a mile away, he will be equally unhappy.

I agree. Roosh shows the classic signs of addiction to extremism. He&#039;s a good and decent guy, but his screeds of late have been very heavy-handed and reflect a probably overly literal interpretation of Scriptures.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[By Game, I think that Roosh believes that there is always a front, even if you are not doing the clown. There is not really a true self since personality and beliefs change over time, but Roosh is probably bothered by the fact that he has to give up certain personal principles in order to sleep with a woman and so he is swinging for the extreme. On some level, you do have to compromise, but it doesn&#039;t have to be the absolute core of the activities or thoughts that preoccupy your life with. 

Roosh used to get laid, even if it meant procrastinating on productive work or sleeping with a woman that he did not really like. In my opinion he needed to find the &#039;right&#039; crowd of women to be happy. Meaning, those who don&#039;t play texting games or view their instagram profile every 10 minutes. If he swings for the other extreme and finds a woman who is a religious nut, and trust me you can spot them from a mile away, he will be equally unhappy. ]]></description>
