(1,159 posts)I have traveled a lot, and the general rule I find is that higher the average local wage (Australia, Germany, France, Denmark, etc.), the cooler the American expats tend to be, and the lower the average local wage (Thailand, Vietnam, Hungary, Poland, etc.), the assholier the American expats tend to be. The guy discussed in this video is a frighteningly accurate composite of the type of American expats I consistently ran into in places like Thailand and Hungary. I feel like I need a shower just thinking about those assholes.

(1,798 posts)Forney as best I can tell is for real. He appears to the uninitiated to be doing "a bit", as the kids say, and that might be theoretically plausible, but this asshole puts so much effort into it, and for so long now, that it's pretty certain he's serious about his MRA/PUA lifestyle. Of course, one look at the guy is all one needs to see the pathetic self-parody.
By the way, Return of Kings was shuttered in 2018. RooshV "hit the wall" and found that he couldn't pick up desperate Eastern European women anymore. Roosh returned to the US after an extended adolescence in Europe that continued well into his 40s. Matt Forney is just plagiarizing the Roosh strategy, which in itself is a lame simulacrum of a million other MRA/PUAs. They have been at this since the days of Adobe PageMill and shitty GeoCities blogs.
Roosh more recently has descended into religious psychosis, joining ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia), otherwise known as "Radtrad Orthodoxy". He now devotes his various sites to attacking Da Jooz and "degeneracy" (a redundant term for Da Jooz).
