Haters are masturbators.

When's the last time you saw a successful guy hating? When's the last time you saw a player complaining about racism? When's the last time a successful guy got angry at 'misrepresentation of his culture'?

Successful guys don't hate. They just laugh at the petty little haters.

Ya he won't get the kind of girls who are at the top of Russian society but he's doing way better than he would in the US and who cares he's hitting up 4-5 points higher than he is so what does it matter? I love that video when she keeps telling him she's with him because he's black. Fucking smart ass keeps asking her "but I'm a nice guy too right" and she looks at him like "what the fuck does that matter" and tells him "yes you're a nice guy but your also black" ha ha ha that is some funny shit but its true he found his niche and he has fantasies of hitting up the upper crust of Russian chicks but knows he won't get there with his current position of teaching as a freelancer for that you need major status and money in Russia. But it shows how connected he is that he could even meet real Russian models and someday when he is geographically more stable he might even be able to hit one up or 10-15 of her friends its a numbers game for him to hit up that 5% of Russian girls who will sleep with a black guy.

I think you are making assumptions based on nothing. Upper crust gals crave good dick as much as any other girl.
I have many friends who visited Russia on business and a few who lived there for years, they weren't just banging the so called 5%.
It's funny alot of you guys sound like hurt little boys bashing this kid.

Brother my assumptions are based on living IN Russia for a year and actually watching Philochko's videos which are HIGHLY entertaining if you can get over the hip hop stuff he talks about percentages for BLACK guys in Russia that was FROM him. I admire this guy extremely and sympathize with him a lot he wants to start his own business over there so he doesn't have to fuck with managers but can't find staff ya great the risks he took to go over there should be rewarded and they are with groupies but that isn't something that guys here can take to improve themselves. He has a video called "why do you care who I'm fucking" where he complains about guys like the ones here who assume he is fucking every girl he takes a photo with. It ends up hurting his business and his game. If he takes on a more activist approach over there I'm afraid he'll run into more trouble. Some of it is really specific like the black guy getting his ass kicked would've gotten his ass kicked anywhere but they wanted to do it more in Russia. I don't see why African countries don't boycott Russia at least stop sending students there
The attitude is just to sell his product the "N" word and hip hop slang is his product the guy is an actor and came out on an episode of GOSSIP GIRL so his background is wide. I discovered his videos here and his business is interesting since it takes an old English school concept and turns it into entertainment. He always downplays his game because he doesn't speak Russian and doesn't talk about it so I can only assume he isn't trying to learn just taking his business to a different level.
Russian girls, the hottest ones USUALLY only hook up with Russians, as much as they complain I've noticed it through out the world Finland, Sweden, Mexico, Russia something about exoticism that to super hot and super successful women don't find appealing.

I agree the guy should be commended.

I've lived about 3 years total in Russia, over multiple stints. I've had a variety of black friends in that time, including some Africans I hung out with regularly while living in a tier 2/3 city for six months.

In terms of night game a whole lot of them ran into the problem that they were the center of attention at clubs, and girls loved dancing with them and sometimes even made out with them, but they couldn't get the bang because the girls did not want their reputations tarnished by banging a black dude.

This guy seems to have found a great approach to filter out the girls, so that by the time he meets them he knows they are much more likely DTF, although even then I bet his notch count isn't nearly as high as some are thinking (he himself even said this).

One black dude I know is totally fucked in Russia. He is half-African half-Russian, one of the infamous "olympic babies" who was born after a black olympian banged his mom at the 1980 Moscow olympics and then peaced out. He is 100% "Russian" in terms of his language and culture, he doesn't even speak English, but Russians will never consider him Russian. He's been jumped and beaten up multiple times, told to "go home," etc. Once was put into a coma. Shit sucks, but that's the reality.

That said there is a subset of chicks who are into the exotic flavor. There are several clubs in Moscow that cater to those (e.g. "staraya gavana").

That is sad...quite a few black guys actually immigrated to USSR during cold war due to communist ideology. Some from the USA. I remember watching a documentary on one of them who became a pianist.

Very similar to the discrimination against Central Asians there.

I don't believe there is a correlation between how hot/successful a women is and the level of exotic appeal for her. Women like what they like. I do believe there are social barriers(like jealous male cock blocking) to those same women ACTING on that attraction. But that's another issue all together.

You're right it could just be country/culture specific game but in my limited experience these girls were unreachable and I blamed it on that.

Man, that is crazy. Do these people even realize that Pushkin was part black? And he's one of the greatest cultural figures in Russian history.

Post: #108

That's really interesting. ^ I looked him up. He doesn't look very black given that it was his great grandfather who was brought from Africa.

However, even more interesting is the status of his great grandfather there in Russia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Gannibal brought over as a slave and rose to nobility.

And more on topic, Phil's game is just as good as any other game. Why bust your ass on cold approaches when you can build up some micro fame game in a niche that likes you?

No diss to Phil at all. I'd do what he's doing any day over cold-approaching in Moscow nightclubs. Why not have pre-selected girls on VK lined up and waiting for you on arrival? More power to him. That said, I get the feeling that he wouldn't be killing it over there without his niche. I'm sure I recall him saying on one of his videos that he doesn't approach girls he doesn't know. On the whole Russia sounds like a rather shitty place for black men in general, but he created a situation where he can get laid, get paid and be protected. That's smart.

Haha yeah Old Havana that's a fun spot for non white people, though there is a face control guy that sometimes gives brown people shit at the door if they don't come with girls. Lots of Turks there, the ratios can get pretty bad. Latino clubs overall were my bread and butter when I lived in Moscow. In retrospect I would have rather stuck to social circle game and international oriented events - that's where I met most of the girls I did well with. Getting wasted on weekends with an unreceptive crowd was a complete waste of time.

What a weird thing to say. Seems to be a lot of haters on Phil here, and I don't understand why to be honest. He's a bit of an attention whore in my opinion, but that's my only real criticism.

Post: #112

Nemencine just brought this to my attention and my initial thoughts are:

1. He was playing with fire.
2. He is incorrectly teaching/spreading stereotypes about Black American men and culture. Pigeonholed holed himself into a corner, etc.
3. He was not lowkey and discreet enough.
4. He forgot or does not know how to adapt or survive outside of America. In the East in particular at that.

The Black guy in the videos has finally gotten what was coming to him. Before I read the last post where Roosh provided a video update about his legal troubles and possible deportation. I hate to say it but a guy like him was asking for it because he did not have enough tact, to understand his situation correctly. Some guys call it peacocking when guys dress flamboyantly, but any kind of attention whoring like that can cost you in the wrong location. I could easily have done what he did in China like he did Russia, but I knew better because that kind of attention is frowned upon in the East from a culture perspective, and would have cost me big in the end. Getting deported, means basically you will not have a chance to ever come back. All those years and time learning their language is GONE and WASTED! Unlike me, he doesn't have a Russian wife/family to protect him that either. I been learning Mandarin since 2005 since my first college level course. If I got banned from China that loss would be heavy for me. Not the end of the world, but still man..that would suck!

Unlike Roosh, he was unrefined and unsophisticated in his approach to appeal to Russians. Roosh I'm sure has made mistakes too, but one thing I noticed about him is that he makes serious adjustments on the fly and has grown VERY shrewd in the way he carries himself nowadays. Nowadays it can be harder to follow what he is doing on a day to day basis, but he is more popular than ever before. THAT is how to make adjustments. He could still catch a case, but his risk is alot less I would say.

Forget what we personally think about Condi Rice, at least she managed to appeal to them without showcasing any kind of wretched American style stuff, except the politics stuff. Being fluent in a language is actually useless without the deep cultural understanding to go along with it. While he seemed to understand their culture , it looked like it was only on a modest street level. Just because he is a well spoken Black American will not mean that he is intelligent enough to understand the cultural and historical realities around him.

That whole when in Rome, do as the Romans do, would be a great application in this case. That might have gotten him the respect that the other Russia located RVF members were lightly touching on when they brought up that he is possibly embellishing his story about his personal protection. Wanna know how powerful "friends" are when you get into trouble in a different country as an American? Do something to break the law first. Like Roosh said, you gotta be completely clean if you are going to show your face like that. Those same "friends" will completely forget who the fuck you are. Especially in an Authoritarian/Communist/Facist/Police-State type of country. My Chinese friends, buddies, etc. don't have enough guanxi (connections) for me to bust my visa and fix it for me. My Chinese wife and inlaws can though. Just saying....

The stuff about the black stereotypes and his hip hop image is something I would like to discuss in that thread with others to see what they think to. In my dating guide I am working on addressing this very same kind of thing. When you got any non-American people saying shit like Whats up my nigga, and all this nigga that, nigga this stuff, he is subconsciously pulling down himself and other black people worldwide. I do not buy that junk about that is just how Russian people call black people. In China they have a word to describe black people, "hei ren" (black people). Hei means black color, ren means person. You mean to tell me that in Russian language, black person is phonetically pronounced nigger? I don't buy it. If Chinese use that word around me, and I personally never had that experience, I would either correct them or leave them alone. When you enable that kind of stuff, you are making things worse. Teaching any kind of American Slang is bad enough to Easterners.

Them knowing that does not help them talk to everyday black people and everyday Americans. Standard English is more than enough for them. We do not need the rest of the world with our bad habits. They know nigger is an insult. They use that to embolden their own self esteem against any and all threats he presents against their tribal values as an outsider. The fact that he lets them makes them feel comfortable doing that around him is a false sense of security because while they "like him", they do not respect him in any way. Would a Russian in America like having a nickname of Lenin, Stalin, or Boris just because we think it is funny? Highly unlikely and if they did, no one would actually respect him for allowing it.

Black men should drop alot of this hiphop stuff when in certain countries. For one, hiphop as a culture is dead anyway (circa 2004 at the latest). Two, it makes you look like a clown and an entertainer. Everyone laughs at the disco guy stuck in the 70's. Someone not to be taken serious at all. Do any UK men with any class or self-respect dress like chavs? Running around in small places in China, locals would ask me if I was a doctor, a scientist, or something like that, because they said I looked like I was a very "highly educated" person. These are people that had never ever seen a black person before. Maybe not even a foreigner ever before. Turning the hip hop stuff into an identity hurt him in ways he may never understand, unless someone broke it down for him. It's one thing to do that to get initial attention in a nightclub for a mere bang. It's another to banner-run with it in the form of a career. He said he wanted to get Russians to break the ice and relax around him. Ok, well after that, show substance. Carrying yourself as a man with dignity is far more important first than you own individual cultural identity. All that coonery of neck turning, ghetto ebonics slang, and other forms of American wretchedness, is subconsciously effeminate and does nothing to represent yourself and the best of your country (black or white).

I understand what he was trying to do, but it was a busted strategy from the get go. I personally enjoy teaching Chinese people I meet who somehow think Obama is the best black man to ever live in America, that guys like Frederick McKinley Jones invented refrigerated trucking or Charles R. Drew invented open heart surgery. They are so amazed and impressed with that far more than my knowledge of American Basketball or anything else "black dominated".

Not so sure about that.

Nemencine told me about this too:

Quote:The blackguy in question got on the radar of some of white nationalist group in russia...and america. http://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=171743 . He further inflamed the issue by doing a homemade porn with a russian chick(sasha in his videos)( NSFW http://www.xxxaporn.com/39829/White_coll..._cock.html), and then upload it on the internet. It went viral... further exposing himself to danger.

In fact, a quick google of his name and sasha you will see the stormfront and wn groups on the top page.

That is NOT success. He should just come home before he ends up in a barrel filled with concrete, in the bottom of a river. Any black man, no scratch that, ANY man looking to travel in the East would be wise not to follow this guy's footsteps. Learn the languages like he did, but learn the culture and try not to peacock the way he did. That's a recipe for disaster. This guy has really jumped the shark. He is a fool in my book at this point.

Travelkai - Maybe there is a better way to conduct himself, I agree. I do think that the hip hop culture allows the black American (and in fact the black person) to have a reputation that precedes themselves in other countries who don't have any other access to black culture.

It's an image of the Westernised black person and may allow one to have a foothold in environments that may be otherwise viewed as hostile. If rocking a durag, chains and speaking hip and repping Brooklyn gets Philocko in the door, so be it.

I believe Japan like black guys due to hip hop and Jamaican dancehall music. If one knows this, why play it down when travelling to Japan. Why not use a carpet that has already been laid down for you via media?

How far he chooses to go with the hip hop train afterwards is the question. If he tries to bring the attention whoring mentality to Russia which may be more of a conservative society, he may want to test the waters with his big toe before jumping in butt naked.

But I disagree that hip hop should be abandoned. Sometimes, you find that people don't care about the new humble self that you put forward. You may want to lead with some in your face swag to warm the cockles up and then usher in your true intelligent humble self once their attention has been grabbed.

Personal example of leading with the brash and following through with the humble:

I was in dorms once and I went to one of my British friends room. He was rooming with some Danish cat. The Danish cat was rather snobbish and gave me a look of disdain when I came in that late afternoon. It was warm and I think I had just come off from a hearty debate with some international Nigerian students. Hence, I was flushed and my vocal tones were a tad loud (an essential when debating with bonafide Naijas).
The Dane seemed annoyed at my presence but after a while of hearing me converse and running through an array of topics with the British friend, his body language changed and he eventually warmed up and started cracking his own jokes.

If I had come in humble, the Dane may have just sentenced me from appearance alone (which many people and cultures do - it's simply easier than risking time to figure a person out from scratch).

By forcing an engagement with an in your face approach and then sealing with the humble, I got a win.

When I say "abandon" I mean abandon all this urban stuff as a crutch. One dimensional game sucks in general anywhere. Hiphop game sometimes gets you nothing but nigger lover types that want big dick or that swag. That is okay for just getting mere lays, like I said before. This was much more than just being about the women for this guy. This dude embodied this stuff and banner ran with this stuff, regurgitating the vile aspects of the same issues that actually KILLED hiphop culture and itself. Regardless on our individual views of the casual use of the word "nigga" among one another, it is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest to believe that the word was ever a good thing for black america or hiphop. When younger whites here wanted to assimilate into black american culture in an effort to blend cultural identity by using that word, that got awkward, ugly, and ended up being an epic failure for multiple reasons. Where are Fred Durst and Kid Rock now? What are they doing now? Did their movement go anywhere? No.

This guy is repeating that recent history all over again. Not only do younger whites in the US have now almost no desire to want to use the N word anymore, some have now started resenting black guys that are their peer/age-group using all kinds of low blow swipes like (You guys are hypocrites, You guys are too sensitive, you guys are just too PC, Why the double standards?, Blacks don't want to fit in with the rest of America, You must agree with Jesse Jackson on everything huh?, etc.) Young black men here pulled back on those same white buddies and now whenever a Trayvon-like incident occurs everyone starts taking swipes at each other on Twitter, youtube vids, and even social places like bars. The local TV news and CNN LOVES this shit. They race-bait EVERYTHING. They pull Jesse Jackson in on everything to blow it all up more than what it was before.

It's a nasty cycle. No black guy has any good reason to export a widespread use of that word out of America masquerading it as hiphop. Let that shit die in this cesspool here. We should use a containment strategy on that word.

Back to game, I personally think hiphop game is very one-dimensional. Easy is just easy. Doesn't mean that is the best you got. Guys should never limit themselves like that. I switch shit up all the time. Sometimes I look like a redneck with my polarized sunglasses, baseball cap, and cargo shorts, like I am going fishing and pull from Asian girls. I wore my Japanese racing gear stuff and Japanese girls seemed to dig it. Next year I will wear my Texan stuff like some wranglers and cowboy boots, a hat, and a nice button up and see what kind of attention I get in China like that. A black cowboy experiment with my humor skills should be interesting. My wife thinks it's silly but I bet I could pull plenty qq numbers doing that. (my wife won't trip, she knows it for you guys). Game is not limited to just the popular precanned setups everyone else uses. Mix stuff up. Outfits and swag just get attention. I notice how that Dane was more enamored with your mouthpiece instead. Jokes and good conversation is always more important than pushing a stereotype or a prop.

Humble guy persona, is just a technique really. You can run asshole game in a nanosecond regardless of how you are dressed or started out. If the gals you are chasing are rough in nature, why would you come at them with nice guy game? But then again, you can always start off that way, shock and stun them with crass humor, then reel them back in with romance shit. Maybe I am sounding corny with this but like Bruce Lee would say, be like water.

I respect this guys hustle, not saying I am a fan but heck in America he is a nobody. He has found a niche in Russia, by him using the N-word is not going to change much.
Even in this thread there has been a lot of hate towards him, someone even called him a clown.

The media does a great job of painting black men in a negative light, most people don't see us as individuals but as a collective. Christ look at the two biggest movies of last year, Twelve years as a Slave and The Butler. I guess Hollywood couldn't think of anything better to make, I could think of a few positive stories I would like told but we all know that will not happen.
Look at Hip-Hop which has pretty much been buried, this is the image that is broadcasted to people across the world. The music has no message, only talking about pure materialistic crap.
I met a black guy in Croatia, who makes a good living touring those EE countries teaching breakdancing.

TravellingKai - you make great points but this dude doesn't effect your world. I also wear different looks to mess with people, I wouldnt be caught dead in that hip hop stuff.

Even in this thread there has been a lot of hate towards him, someone even called him a clown.

He definitely affects everyone's world I think. He is already getting death threats from WN and skinheads in Russia. Wasn't he already approached by them on the street in one of those links above? I forgot already. Anyway, it's his life and funeral. Live fast die young right, American style right? I'm not offended by him or anything like that, I just hope others lurking and other RVF members understand why the things he is doing has disadvantages. On the surface it looks somewhat harmless on a casual glance, but there are some deeper problems below that. Just my 2 cents, sorry if it came off like a rant.

I wouldn't call it a rant. Your first post in this thread nailed in my view. Phil and his supporters have basically failed to acknowledge that Russian society has a different set of values and that what he is doing is not welcome by most of the population.

There is some racism in Russia, but most of what he experiences has nothing to do with it. Making political statements in a foreign country is not wise, especially in Russia. It wouldn't hurt him to cut out the clowning/peacocking (or whatever it's called) either.

No beef with dude heading to Russia to enjoy his life.

I do take issue with the borderline coonish tactics that he employs in the vids...can't cosign that bullshit (I get he's trying to gain an audience).

Sort of reminds me of a scene from "A Soldier's Story":

^ I guess that was what I trying to say in my ramble, he does Coon a bit which can be annoying. No more cooning than say a Mayweather or a PDiddy, yeah we get it you have money.

As for this dude, well he has rushed backed to Russia. The WN and Skinheads haven't gotten him yet, christ how many women are there in Russia. They are worried about a "kid" like him, the girls in the video aren't anything to write home about. Mind you that "model" that came to meet in Ekaterinburg would make me rush back there.
