WATCH: 10 Reasons Why Washington DC Sucks

Before I completely forget about my time in the DC area , I decided to capture my criticisms about it in a video for posterity. A lot of men left comments that their city is strikingly similar to DC, suggesting a monoculture that is being spread throughout the Western world.

  1. I’m a retired airline captain. I flew domestic for years. I can confirm that Roosh is true in his evaluation. DC is not a place for hetro-norm men with good taste in women.The more I read here the more I like Roosh. Keep up the good work.

    1. I usually benefit around $6k-$8k /a month with an internet task. For everybody eager to work basic online task for 2h-5h daily from your living room and get good checks while doing it… This is ideal for you… http://2.gp/G8zm

  2. Absolutely, one of the worst cities in the country; no doubt about it. Unreal traffic, total sycophant culture, mostly unattractive women, way too costly.. Just don’t do it unless you absolutely need to be there for work, and, even then, only do it if they are paying you a fuckton of money to live there.
    If you must live in a city, choose those that have strong foreign influence (read: lots of hot women). Miami, San Diego, LA. Vegas if you’re a gambling nut I suppose, although I’d rather live in a dumpster than anywhere in Vegas. 😉

    1. “Strong Foreign Influence” + “Miami/SD” = inundated with illegals.
      I couldn’t see moving to California nowadays, no matter the location. Taxation/restriction is obscene, government is actively against you and the electric grid and water supply are degrading, rapidly resembling those of the 3rd World.

    2. The “drivers” in DC are horrible, bordering on psychotic.

      1. I don’t think you’d ever be pulled to dc, b I t that come nt about Ohio is really telling in that the sickness will spread

      2. Sitting at a traffic light. Sitting, waiting. It’s red, still red, still red, oh look it just turned greHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!!!
        Like those impatient fucks didn’t want any chance that you waited even half a second to put your foot on the pedal.

  3. Sounds like DC has become the east coast version of SF, grannies and trannies. What a shit show.
    That pretty much sums up top 10 american cities. NY and LA have their own distinct personalities, but otherwise its fairly safe to generalize.
    Maybe only places in america its still good to be single male would be the smaller or mid-size college towns that are dominated by the presence of a big state university.

  4. Nerds from the Midwest?!? Ill have you know they start feeding us Midwest boys Kratom before we are weened from the tit.

    1. It’s true… the mass of young men here are fucking weird as hell. It’s like beta/gamma central. Kratom can’t even save these poor souls.

      1. Oh get off it. Central Ohio has a huge biker community (motorcycles), a huge amount of gun owners, tons of hunters and things that I don’t see in your blue state paradises.

        1. I’m by no means sticking up for blue states. Concrete jungles are the downfall of men, largely due to the leftism utopia ideologies that big cities tend to attract. The problem with leftism is that it aims to take away the natural selection processes that make men strong (ie. welfare programs, affirmative action, etc).
          I did stay a night in columbus, oh. (Dunno if that’s considered central) I got the feeling a lot of the guys I saw where former high school football quarterbacks who never left home, and still think that it gets women wet. Still had a wonderful time though.

        2. One night does not a valid impression make. Especially in a hotel.
          I’d post videos of my stomping grounds if it wouldn’t get me immediately doxxed.

        3. It’s a certain type from the rust belt DC attracts. Plus, the “central Ohioans” who move to DC are just clevelanders who went to Ohio state. When I meet rust belters when I travel I’m always struck by how pleasant they are.

      2. I figured it has to do with all the brain power brought into DC. You’ve got huge campuses for the NIH, USDA, FDA and many other scientific and medical organizations, many pharma research headquarters. I mean, it’s just scientists out the ass, and if they aren’t scientists then they are lawyers or medical doctors. All of whom are on average physically ugly. And the tens of thousands of scientists on average or really anti-social and weird.

        1. Grew up in Bethesda where every former nerd goes to raise their perfect kids in DC. Everyone in my grade was hideous, all of their parents were high powered lawyers, gov workers, worked for NIH. They didn’t hand out honor roll awards in High School because everyone was on it, and if you weren’t everyone would talk shit about you. Most girls were decently skinny though, health and sports competitiveness was shamed into everyone so that at least was effective.
          But it’s special snowflake land in DC and its surrounding suburbs. Everyone is a poop brown haired, j crew cardigan sporting, cankled 6 who thinks that they are a 9. But they were made that way with helicopter parents telling them they were perfect and fighting their teachers to change a C to an A when they screwed up. So many assholes in my grade would hammer it into everyone else’s heads about how smart and special they were. They all ended up going to Maryland and not even on scholarship.

    2. There does seem to be something off about Midwesterners who end up in DC and it extends to their appearance.
      Ex: Paul Ryan, John Kasich, “Rinse Pubus”

      1. There’s something wrong with anybody who ends up in DC.

    3. I love how the video showed Columbus, OH when he was talking about nerds from the Midwest. I live there and I gotta agree. Central Ohioans are too soft, liberal, nice, beta, etc.

      1. Fags and ghetto rats. Is Columbus still known as “the San Francisco of the mid-west?” I heard it was due to the OSU medical research doing alot of work for AIDS. Most of the real people live outside of the the 270 ring. The last time I was downtown at night it was empty and the old High Street dive bars off campus were torn down and replaced with a shopping mall. The only thing worse than Columbus is Cleveland.

        1. There are too many gay people inside of 270, no question. High street bar scene was destroyed by the former female President of OSU who basically was Carrie Nation of the 21st century. She didn’t last long, but her damage was huge.
          Columbus is not anywhere near as bad as Cleveland, nor even Cincinnati or Toledo (which both suck, hard).

        2. Born and raised Buckeye, but I hate those places as well and still have family in all of them. Toledo (little Detroit) has been in free fall since the 90’s and when you roll down I-75 you can see how delapidated that hole as become.

        3. Columbus has less begros for sure but overall is decent.
          Cleveland has character, Lake Erie, culture and lots of good looking women but lots of negros E Cleveland and cold long winters.
          Cincy is 50% black and decent, but has its own issues, crime, traffic, insular but cost of living is decent, but another riot lions overhead.
          Grew up in Dayton, now an official craphole with negros and loss of manufacturing.
          The movie Roadhouse was based in a bouncer in Dayton who I knew. He was gunned down ambush style by biker trash with no arrest but everyone knows who did it. South Dayton and North are nice enough bubbles though
          Lexington is vastly under rated imo

      2. I feel a strong urge to kick your ass.
        There’s nothing wrong with being nice, btw. “Provider game” still works here with a lot of women, so while there are betas, they’re still getting laid (even with attractive women), unlike those “hard, alpha” places where “alphas” have to dress like circus clowns and dance like trained monkeys in order to get a HB 5 to give up some pussy for the evening.

        1. Im more referring to the fact that people in Columbus are very much the naive Midwestern types, despite the fact that it’s a big city. Im not saying nice is bad, but the there is such thing as “too nice” and Columbus has it. Other cities it’s size do not.
          Also, fun fact- Cbus is syphilis capital of US right now. Not sure if that’s due to gay population or what.

        2. Yeah, all these people, smiling, being pleasant, girls being genuine and receptive to decent acting men, all that shit bro, way too nice. They have it much better in meaner places, assuming one is into dressing like a fool and acting like a trained clown monkey in order to score a mediocre looking chick.
          I live here. It’s not “too nice”, it’s simply decency like used to exist in most of the rest of the nation. The problem isn’t on our end.

        3. “Yeah, all these people, smiling, being pleasant, girls being genuine and
          receptive to decent acting men, all that shit bro, way too nice. They
          have it much better in meaner places, assuming one is into dressing like
          a fool and acting like a trained clown monkey in order to score a
          mediocre looking chick.”
          Again, really not what I’m talking about. I’m not saying I wish the SMP were more ruthless like in NY or DC, or that the women were less feminine.
          “I live here. It’s not “too nice”, it’s simply decency like used to
          exist in most of the rest of the nation. The problem isn’t on our end.”
          I guess we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree. Your experience with Cbus is apparently unlike my experience with Cbus. 1950’s Mayberry it is not. Cbus has long been a super-gay, progressive city.
          FYI I am talking strictly about Columbus- not Worthington, not Lewis Center, not New Albany, etc. I’m sure a lot of those places have more of those fine folk you are referring to. But down in Short North, Sohud, Campus, Old Town East, *shudder* Franklinton, etc., Cbus seems to me a city like any other in terms of degeneracy.

        4. It’s not “super gay”. It does have too many gay people though, no question.
          Outside 270 it’s uber red state. And inside 270 we all kind of point and laugh at the silliness. It’s not a bad place to be.

        5. Outside 270 outerbelt, Delware or Union county mostly. Madison is ok, but you have to get into Galloway proper to be comfortable.

        6. I saw the most beautiful thing in Little Rock Arkansas. I was at a bar and all the most smoking hot women at the bar were with extremely average red neck boys. Some short, some tall, most chubby, most kinda ugly duckling, dressed in ill fitting jeans with button up checkered shirts that probably came from walmart. There were a couple of bad boys in the bar and they had some bad girls on them, dressed like sluts and tatted up but the fact of the matter was those bad girls were about 5s or 4s if you didn’t have any beer googles on and you got past looking at their tats and their asses hanging out the bottom of their shorts.
          The girls with the nice beta looking guys on the other hand were all fit, feminine and classy looking. And they gave their men their full attention.
          That was my only stint in Little Rock, so I don’t know if that is the norm but it actually gave me hope for Arkansas. I can tell you, it was so nice to see I didn’t even hit on any of those hot galsat all. I just wanted to have respect for the nice relationships that appeared before me.

    4. You can always tell when a city type whose never actually been to flyover country, makes silly judgements about flyover country. Anybody who ends up in DC for a career is fucked up to begin with, regardless of his place of origin.

      1. While I normally agree, it’s practically an inside joke in DC that 75%
        of all white people under 45 are from the “strict Rust Belt” (Buffalo-Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Detroit-Flint).
        The Capitals used to have a rule where they wouldn’t sell tickets to any credit card with a Pittsburgh Zip Code
        so they could actually have home games against the Penguins,
        and when they made the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit it was a Detroit home game.
        DC seems to attract a certain type from those areas, especially white women who explain
        much of DC’s dating culture. They tend to be very frumpy and delusionally entitled.

  5. Point #10 with the ramming of gay culture down everyone’s throat is happening everywhere. The only difference is the openness about it.
    The other point about DC work culture reminded me of this scene.

  6. I made the mistake of going from San Diego to D.C. All of the above is real and true. One point I’d like to add is that women here exercise their hypergamy with finesse.
    Among the first questions you’ll get when courting a potential lay is “so what do you do”… I’ve played with responses to this question, and depending on my response, I either elicited a wide eyed “wow, that’s really cool!!!1111” or a “I’m gonna go use the powder room”.
    Everyone out here is looking for number 1. Since most women don’t have the mental or intellectual fortitude to get to number 1 themselves, they’ll latch onto a successful man to get there (a la Hillary)
    I’m now trying to make my way back to SD… Fuck this place.

    1. I doubt that it’s a lack of mental or intellectual fortitude that kept Hillary from getting to #1 herself, it’s her lack of self-awareness, and her off-the-charts hubris.
      She’s spent decades with Bill Clinton, a fellow sociopath who has the one piece missing from Hillary’s puzzle: the ability to fake sincerity/humanity. How she spent so long with him and never deigned to pick up even a modicum of his skill is puzzling.

    2. That question is so vapid and empty.
      What do you do?
      I’m a senior alchemical engineer.
      Associate partner in a phrenology clinic
      Shepherd

    3. I was only in undergrad in DC, but I remember hearing, “So what law school do you go to?” from a number of girls. It was a classic young person in DC opener, and for a short while, I thought that’s what all girls everywhere did — ask you where you went to law school.
      Soon I realized it was only in DC. I didn’t stay after graduation for very long.

    4. Every major city seems to have some variation of that opening line identifier thing (though “what do you do” is almost universally generic, at least in the U.S. apparently.)
      I just find it boring because usually a) I don’t want to talk about work and/or b) the person will likely follow that cliche with another cliche, since he/she probably knows little about your particular job. Problem is, if you don’t answer, or answer vaguely (my current favorite: “Oh, this and that, you know”) the other person usually doesn’t know where to take the conversation.
      In L.A. the big opener is still, as ever, “Have you worked on anything I might have seen lately?”

  7. I spent five amazing years in DC …
    …but they were my college years. From age 18 to age 22, it’s where I hit maturity. Great memories frozen in time … and I haven’t been back since.
    Your mileage may vary.

  8. Roosh, the monoculture that you speak of is something like I like to refer to as the New World Faggot Death Cult.
    There is only to despise and mock the modern death cultist. How could you not mock such a living, breathing satire of themselves?
    It is all just so fucking hilarious.

  9. I’ve been to DC a few times. My oldest brother and his wife work there. I can concur that the city outside of the national mall area is a shithole. The people are some of the boring, non descript, inhabitants I’ve ever seen. The black and gray wave of same suited men walking down the street to their soul sucking job.

  10. Roosh always talks about how atrocious the women of DC are and I can’t believe he hasn’t brought up the infamous Washingtonienne to support his point. Also, the city was majority Black until 2011 and is still about 50% Black. I wonder if attractive White women do the math subconsciously and conclude that DC is too dangerous because of the demographics. Kind of like how White people who are totally cucked on the issue of race will make sure to send their kids to White schools because they know on a visceral level, despite what they consciously think about race, that it is a bad idea to send their White kids to a school with lots of Blacks or Hispanics.

  11. On the DC metro, a few years back the Washington Times delved into why it sucked and the results were truly appalling. Nepotism, no controls and Affirmative Action.
    …Tricky Dick, who kicked off Affirmative Action, once said that San Francisco was so “faggy” that he couldn’t evens hake hands with anyone from San Francisco. I wonder what he’d make of Roosh’s comment that DC is now gayer than San Fran.

    1. Yes affirmative action. All those black men are taking all the jobs.
      (Sarcastic eye roll)
      Tricky Dick also started the DEA and the War.on Drugs with the explicit goal of terrorizing antiwar activists and Blacks.

      1. The blacks who work the DC metro aren’t taking the jobs, they’re being given jobs for which they are unqualified and at which they have no accountability.
        The linked article explains that the level of black employment at the Metro is highly improbable, as well as explaining the corrupt & improper business practices that are routine at the Metro.
        It could also serve as an example for why an enterprise needs clear leadership. The power over the Metro is split between Maryland, DC, Virginia, the feds and Congress. Everyone knows it is screwed up, but no one can do anything about it.

  12. Lots of snobbish women in their 20s and 30s are acting arrogant over their “analyst” positions in some kind of government agency, think tank, foundation or other rubbish non-profit organization. Save for in government agencies, those women will most likely get push away from their garbage analyst jobs to make room for younger and hotter candidates.

  13. Ah, a disgruntled suburbinite who has no idea how to enjoy the city. This city has a crazy amount of people in their 20’s-30’s. It’s a young city, not an old city. Beauty itself is subjective, but the only obese people I see here (and I actually live IN the city) are tourists. Everyone I know is part of a running club, training for a triathlon, going to cross fit or hitting up a yoga class. Most (youngish) people are pretty active and fit.
    And yes it’s expensive, but there are TONS of free things to do. Of course, that would require expanding your mind beyond the club for entertainment.
    I do agree about the violence in certain areas, but I think that’s something most large cities are dealing with.
    Basically, this is a video from a man who’s pissed that he can’t get laid.

    1. I’ve been to DC. You’re living in a little white-person bubble, clearly. Most of the city sucks, outside of the centers of power/mall. The murder rate in DC is breathtaking, and outside of a few other deep blue hellholes (Chicago, Miami, New Jersey) no other city is even coming close to the abject horror of DC.

      1. I actually don’t disagree with that. It is indeed true that if you are white, educated and white collar, you will have a very difference experience in this city than if you are not. The city is going through massive gentrification and it’s definitely causing issues. But not being a DC native (and not working in politics), I was quite surprised when I moved here how the city actually to offer. I was coming in with the stereotypes – murder capital, hill rats, etc. As most stereotypes go, there is some underlying truth, but there really is a lot to enjoy and the city does attract very interesting, smart and ideological people…but of course you have to actually care about holding a conversation with someone and not just banging them. Though if you ARE just looking for a bang, I suggest Adams Morgan on aSaturday night – drunk sorority girl central. At any rate, while the video was probably (maybe?) meant to be funny, I just found it sad and bitter. Aside from the bit about Metro. That was definitely spot on.

  14. Have lived in the DC metro area for 25 years. Next year, I’m gone and will never return. I’m getting as far away from this cesspool of the politically correct as I can get. Only stayed because of a really good job. Had it not been for that, would’ve left gone long ago. For the first time in 25 years, I’m really looking forward to something – leaving this region of deeply entrenched psychopathy.

  15. And taxes in DC are very high. What do you get for these high taxes? Roads that are full of potholes because they don’t get maintained, even in the more expensive areas of town, lots of crime, and a terrible public school system. At least if you’re in nearby Montgomery, Fairfax, or Arlington County can somewhat manage their money. The DC government is extremely corrupt.

  16. A half-mile of ivory towers and glorious marble statues populated by rich white men and Jews, surrounded by a moat of filth, decay, and crime. I think it represents the US quite well.

  17. JERSEY FRICKIN’ CITY now has the third highest rents in the country. Whadda dump, especially the farther you get away from the waterfront

    1. I bet good money that its everyone running away from NYC to Jersey that causing the rising prices.

  18. LOL Roosh the Indian woman you showed has not just hit the wall. She perforated it 20 times over. It’s more intellectually honest to show a young, somewhat average Indian girl. The Asian was young but a different kind of below average ugly.

  19. Always great content Roosh! Please create more videos where you are talking. Also check out St. John’s Wort the herb. It helps with depression. Not saying you are depressed but deep thinkers often struggle with mood.

  20. If you come to DC as a believer, it will turn you into an atheist.
    And if you come as an atheist, it will turn you into a believer.

  21. Ever since leaving DC I’ve always said I’d only move back if I were being paid $500,000 a year or more. That’s how much you’d need to even begin to get on top of the rat race in that city if you have a family. Add to it, ugly women (and ugly humans in general), the worst traffic I’ve ever lost my mind over, unreal bureacracy and law (in Maryland license plates are directional. I know because I put the front on the back and vice versa), the fact I couldn’t have my guns or conceal and carry, dealing with state dignitary motorcades blocking your way from time to time, never having a place to stop and piss when in the city (probably common to all big cities) and just the biggest cultural mish-mash of every ethnicity you could think of.
    There was one funny as fuck part though. We have an English Shepherd and I shit you not, almost all black people we met thought it was a young German Shepherd and were scared shitless of it. “Is that a police dog?” “Keep that thing away from me!” Oh fuck, the more this happened the more I took that dog out. “No, don’t worry honey, i’ll walk the dog. No, I don’t mind picking up her poop anymore!” Here I am waving at everyone going down the street just figuring out which members of that wonderful society had bad encounters with the police in their past.

  22. You want beautiful white women, check out Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins, CO and Madison WI and the twin cities MN. Skinny white women seem to love coming to those cities.

  23. I was born in DC, and raised in MD, and still live in the liberal black utopia of PG County. In my experience the biggest arseholes in the area are from somewhere else. It’s the nations capitol and we get what the other states/countries send us which usually are the biggest, “bestest”, most feeling entitled folks the country/world can produce. That’s not saying the DC is not another example of liberal policy failure which it is, but when talking about the area’s citizens remember that many are not from here.

  24. You also forgot how in the summer is feels like you are in a sauna 24/7. Hottest, wettest place on Earth.
