Bang: More Lays in 60 Days (book)
Bang: More Lays in 60 Days is a controversial dating and self-improvement book written by Daryush Valizadeh, also known as Roosh V. Published in 2007, the book aims to provide advice for heterosexual men on meeting, attracting, and seducing women. While it has gained a following among some men who praise its practical advice, the book has also been widely criticized for its misogynistic content and promotion of harmful gender stereotypes.
Daryush Valizadeh, an American of Iranian and Armenian descent, began his career as a writer by documenting his experiences and thoughts on dating and relationships in his blog. Drawing from his own experiences, he wrote Bang: More Lays in 60 Days as a guide for men to improve their success with women. Roosh V has since written several other books on similar themes and has become a prominent figure within the pickup artist (PUA) community.
