"Water takes the shape of the container it fills." This is the metaphor Roosh has chosen to illustrate how women adapt to the cultures they live in. He is so captivated by this "water for women" metaphor that he repeats it over and over. And over. (Be warned: Roosh's habit of repeating inane metaphors is likely to trigger a migraine in sensitive readers.)
Roosh, as he frequently reminds his readers, is "a man of science" (that is, he has a B.S. from the University of Maryland with a biology major), so he certainly must know as much about the properties of H20 as he does about women.
"I believed the properties of water were in part tied to its location, that water from the East could mimic by only a small degree water from the West, but never be just like it. I was less experienced when I had this belief, for now I know better. Water that has been boiled into steam still has the molecular properties of water, and once the atoms cool down, it will readily take up its more familiar form."
Doesn't that sound like something Sheldon might say on "The Big Bang Theory?" I mean, if Sheldon were a really angry and delusional misogynist?
Anyway, Roosh moves on to prove his theory in singular Rooshian fashion by explaining how, after years of lauding Poland, he was dismayed to find the girls of Warsaw to be as wickedly self-involved as the girls of Toronto (and they are the worst, as you may recall). Fortunately, a short train ride away from the capital took him back to the land of the sweetest, most feminine, and reliable women an armchair sex tourist could dream of. Away from the corrupting influence of the big city, Polish women retain their more pleasing genetic qualities.
Cuz the "container" (i.e., the city) "shapes" "the water."

Got it? Good.
This theory has been challenged in Romania, however.
Even in Cluj, which Roosh describes as a second-tier city, "No girl in Cluj asked me to buy her a drink, but two girls yelled at me. One because I didn’t move from her “spot” in the bar and another for a trivial reason that I forgot as soon as her neck cocked back and forth while yelling at me like she was a black American girl. What caused them to get so angry at me when no girl in Bucharest or Iasi have [sic] even given me a sneer?"

I'm not sure, Roosh. Maybe because in a small city club, you stuck out more as an outsider and an interloper? Maybe because you wandered into a dyke bar by mistake? Maybe because you believe believe "yelling" is something "black American girls" do? There are so many possible reasons for a woman to yell at you, I can hardly begin to speculate.
Roosh finally concludes that the girls in Cluj enjoy such "a surplus of men from all over Europe" that they have been allowed to get away with being rude to strange men. Because in Roosh's mind, all women should defer to their social betters (= men, especially Roosh). Can't they recognize a returned king when they see one?
Then Roosh muses, "Would a girl display a single negative trait if it prevented her from finding a good man or living a comfortable life?" (The short answer to that is: Yes! Yes, she would!)
"Water takes the shape of the container it fills."
So you have (already) told us.
"I appeared on four separate Romanian TV channels, soaking in local fame, trying to get easy lays. I was recognized more times in the ensuing two months than I ever have in Washington DC. When a girl stared at me, I wasn’t sure why she was looking, but I hoped it was because she knew of me, and it would help get into her pants as in the fashion of American celebrity culture. Very early on I get a big surprise—girls who knew of me and my writing played some of the hardest, most lethal game I’ve seen in my life. One girl stood me up. Another was testing me to the point of frustration, as kind as I was to her. Another tried to put words in my mouth, serving up challenges when I wasn’t doing the same. And then I would meet a girl who did not know me, often in the same venue, and she would be the nicest girl in the world, not unlike my first experience in Poland. I have no doubt that the girls who acted bitchy to me would be sweet to the next guy that came along afterwards, suggesting there was a sort of switch that women could flick depending on the circumstance they found themselves in and the man they were meeting."
I hate to say I told you so, but didn't I warn you that Romanian "celebrity" was going to be a double edged sword? There you are on television, announcing to your hosts your intent to "game" the local women, and you're surprised that the women who recognize you decide to turn the table? Why does it surprise you that women dislike being conned, manipulated, or "played" as much as men do?
For ten years, Roosh has done everything he can do to Be A Somebody. In the process, he has tossed away his education, his family, his cultural heritage, and his professional prospects. He has squandered peak years, when he could have been building a meaningful career and emotionally intimate relationships, in order to bask in the admiration of adolescent boys (of various ages). It has got to burn.
As for that peculiar "switch" women have, that mystifying ability to go from "nice" to one fellow to "bitchy" to the next? Hmm... Is it possible they just don't like you, and the more they know about you (via all those TV appearances), the less they like you?
"Water takes the shape of the container it fills."
Yeah, yeah, enough with the water / container.
Roosh is bitter now, now that he realizes "Every woman on this planet, regardless of her education or background, [harbors an inner] bitch, a cunt, a slut, a golddigger, a flake, a cheater, a backstabber, a narcissist, and an attention whore that is dying to get out and that, if certain conditions arise and she is placed in a certain container at a certain temperature, will thrust her worst upon you, and this, I’m afraid, is the true nature of women." Furthermore, even the most angelic woman is hiding inner excrement; she is a dormant volcano waiting to unleash harm.
The solution Roosh offers to his fellow misogynists: Society needs to start putting constraints, limitations, and shackles on women's unbridled freedom of behaviors and choices by force, through application of law or shaming.
Wait a minute! Where have I heard all this before?
I give you Daryush "Roosh" Valizadeh: The PUA most likely to join the Taliban.
"Water takes the shape of the container it fills."
"Water takes the shape of the container it fills."
"Water takes the shape of the container it fills."
"Water takes the shape of the container it fills."
(No matter how often you repeat that, it still sounds lame.)
