Strong independent men
What should we call ourselves?
Good thread. I've wondered this for some time: "how do we differentiate ourselves from MRAs and PUAs, which we often--and strongly--contrast with?"
I want to think about this one.

Jr, we aren't just men... we are men who excel. We are excellent men. Just in virtue of living the truth we are superior to men who do not.
I have an idea that we can steal from the Ancient Greeks. They used a term called "arete", which meant having virtue in a subject, or being excellent. The Greeks did not buy into equality. Neither should we.
In The Peloponnesian War, Thucydides often talks about the Great Men of his day. The man he had the most respect for, Pericles, he described in one sentence:
"Pericles, the first citizen of Athens."
I love that line. It says everything you need to know about Pericles. Who was he? He was first place. The best. The guy at the top.
I feel the same way about this forum. This is a forum of the First Men. The first men of the internet. The pioneers to accept the red pill and change our lives accordingly. Leaders showing the way for millions of disaffected men, throughout the world.
So, if we need to use a shorthand to describe ourselves, why don't we describe things as they are?
"We're the first."

The category of stuff the forum and other associated blogs discuss could be billed in the more general "Men's Interest" category. Its really what we are- high level men's interest.
Gets is away from the steady corrosion of the manosphere title, while possibly being able to take on Ask Men and all those weak men's interest sites.
Not sure what we'd call ourselves, but I lean towards others that have proposed "Men"

Some options:
1. BUMVs which stands for Nietzsche's famous quote 'Brave, unconcerned, mocking, violent – thus wisdom wants us: she is a woman, and loves only a warrior'.
2. GPs which stands for Global Players.

The Reds or Red men
First off, this obviously alludes to the red pill with rejecting the BS we hear from feminsts and to seek the truth for interacting with women and all the encompasses it.
But the name also allows us to bring in the revolutionary aspects from the soviets and our beloved red pill oasis full of my favorite type of women, Russia. The Soviets were against the West and all that it stood for. It was a revolution that changed Russian society and fought back against the privileged to give power to the people. The Marxist ideal was a man who was generalist, a rejection of the capitalist notion of specialization. A man could hunt in the morning, make his own axe and cut his own wood. He owned his labour and was a free man. In addition, the Soviets fought the good fight against the West and many Russians still consider Soviet Russia the proudest time of Russia, (which is maybe why they keep electing ex-KGB guys among other reasons).
Further, almost everything of note has an R in this part of the internet.
Lastly, this name allows us to maker some badass banners. Roosh can modify the Chi Gevera image to have a big ass bread. Or we can have a panty instead of a sickle.

ROFLMAO! And when Roosh passes away we can have his corpse mummified and placed in a public plaza so all we can pay respect to him.

I like 'man about town:' socially active, sophisticated man who frequents fashionable nightclubs, theaters, restaurants, etc.; playboy; boulevardier
It has the advantage of already existing. Renaissance man is also good.
Patriarch
Phallusees (compare with Jesus and the Farisees), Phallustines (philistines).
Bon vivants.
Kamakis!
Perhaps we should find a word outside the English language - more to choose from, more novel, and bolsters our worldly credentials. If you've got anything foreign like kamaki, chime in.

Kamaki is pretty much right on ![[Image: thumb.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/new/thumb.gif)
Kamaki (in English, a fishing lure), is the special name of the Greek men who spend time
in tourist heavy places courting women. Kamaki are less active today than a decade ago,
but the fact is there are still men who are looking to have sex with as many foreign
women as possible.

Roosh is Spanky, G is Alfalfa, Tuth is Buckwheat...
How about just International Players? That's what we are here essentially isn't it? Maybe add the word lifestyle/location independent in there somewhere.
Look at our usernames: Playa w/a passport, international swagger, int'l playboy, etc.
I think the name should have a more positive connotation. Although i like to read about anti-feminism/men's rights, i perceive those guys as a lot more bitter. Other sites extol women abroad and how much better than they are than american women (usually int'l marriage sites).
This site is about getting laid, period, with an emphasis on international women.

How about we call ourselves masculinists just to piss off feminists?

Arete refers to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life and should be discussed more on this forum. We're already talking about it in so many words, now is a good time to talk about it more specifically.
My contribution to this thread would be the Alpha Men's Society, or Arete Men's Society. Both of these encompass the diverse lifestyles within this community while capturing the essence of who we strive to be as men. I like Alpha Men's Society better because people won't have to look it up in the dictionary to understand what we mean.
I think is hard to blanket the forum with one catch all.
There seems to be guys who are much more about the local grind and the logistics around travel and banging. Think the Indiana Jones of the dating world. Exotic country, locals who want to kill you, leaping over pitfalls, cockblocks, and shit tests to get the golden bang. Roosh, Neil Skywalker, etc. I would call them privateers, raiders, nomads, conquistadors
The there are the guys who want to get things done, movers and shakers, wheelers and dealers. Entrepreneurs but outside of the "9-5" grind. See El mechanico. I would call them hustlers, mercurials, scorpios, dynamos
Then there are the romanticists who appeal to an idealism about being men. See Gmanifesto. That would require words like G, Cavalier, Gent, Don.
