Daryush Valizadeh (born June 14, 1979), now known as Roosh Vörek or simply Roosh, is a American writer and pickup artist who specializes in seducing women around the world and writing about his techniques. He has published fourteen books offering advice to men on how to better themselves and make sexual conquests. Readers and observers differ widely in their response to Roosh and his race-objective writing. Critics label him an attention-seeker while fans regard him as a guru on sex matters and seduction. News reports in countries which have been settings for his books have been generally very critical. Background Roosh graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in microbiology.
