The Rational Male

Read at your own risk. Outside of, perhaps, religious texts, there isn't a book more life-changing than this for men. Have you ever wondered why women claim to like "nice guys," but reject you for being one, and then date a jerk? Do you wonder why those girls in high school friend-zoned you or, despite witnessing millions of acts of 'friend-zoning,' women, universally, believe it doesn't exist? Then, complain about "players?" (men who essentially friend zone them?) Have you pondered how so many women say, "I can't find a good guy," while you and 100, lonely "good guys" follow her around? How about why women treat you completely different when you're playing in your indie-rock band than they do at your day job? Or, why women say one thing and mean another? Or, why the women you want ignore you, and the ones' you don't obsess over you? Or, why some men who approach women are well-recieved, while others are "creeps," "sexual harrassers," or worse? Does it seem like you live on a different planet and speak a different language than women? Do you feel like you constantly do everything you can to please your girlfriend/wife, listen to her requests and she still seems cold, distant and refuses intimacy? Have you been left zeroed-out or baffled as to how your ex-girlfriend/wife moved on so quickly after your break up? Do women seem capable of heartless acts? Do you ever wonder why women seem so naive to male experience? Does it seem like the world is completely stacked against men but yet you constantly hear about male entitlement, patriarchal oppression, how awful men are.. meanwhile, you and all your friends love women and just want girlfriends? Despite all of the craziness, do you adore women and want them in your life? Do you want to understand women and improve yourself to be the best man you can be so that you will have more control over your future relationships with women? This book is a lot of different things. It's full of a kick-you-in-the butt, cold, hard truths about intersexual dynamics and how relationships between men and women can be understood far better through the lens of biology, genetics and evolutionary psychology. Why do so many men, universally, fear the rejection of one woman in a World with 4 billion of them? Could it be because evolutionarily-speaking your hindbrain still functions as it did in the hunter-gatherer past, when the rejection of one woman could mean social outcasting from your tribe? If it's not, why is this a universal experience for men across the globe? Why do billions of men who never communicated, prior the internet, share the exact same experiences with women? Did the women all meet up and decide to "friend zone" guys and date jerks, or is there a common biological reason for this? The reality is, while all women are "different," in an intrinsic sense, they all share biological attraction cues, much like all men like physical characteristics, you may be naive to. Learn them. This book will teach you: The first step to understanding and doing better with women (and all areas in your life) is understanding the reality of how women are, act, think, feel and why. It is tossing out the false narrrative and belief that men and women are exactly the same biologically that is constantly pushed today. It is understanding that "equal" does not mean "the same." The downsides: If you google this book or the 'red pill' you will find lies being propogated to make it out to be sexist, mysognistic or part of some 'mens rights activist' club. All of these claims are false and you will find out, in the book, why they exist and are prevelant, in order to suppress the information inside. Women don't actually want men to know their secrets, that's why they told you to be a "nice guy." However, this book is not sexist or anti-woman at all. In reality, it is about understanding women, loving and putting yourself first so you can be the man women actually want to be with. It is not a "cheat sheet," "pick up guide," "road map," "self help" book or "dating coach manifesto." You will have to take the information inside and choose your own path. Most importantly, once you read this book, you will never be able to go back to the disolusioned person you were prior. Even if you try, you will notice the truths inside this book everywhere you go, especially in the actions of women in your life. You may also experience a period of time where you feel like you're the only person on Earth who witnessed an alien landing and you want to tell everyone about it only to find no one believes you even though you have proof and photos. The truth will become so clear to you that the people around you may seem like robots, plugged into the matrix, unable to hear you. This can be frustrating. Especially when you just want to help fellow men avoid the pitfalls of relationships that are now completely obvious to you. However, hopefully, you'll eventually let that go and use the information to better your own life, help those who will listen, and build on your own success with intersexual dynamics, with or without them. Lastly, the author, Rollo, was originally (and still is) a blogger. This book is a collection of essays and, thus, doesn't follow a very linear structure. There is some lingo and acronyms, used in the online community, you may need to brush up on, like "AFC" = Average frustrated chump. I think a future re-release of this book with a term-glossary would do wonders in helping turn more people onto the information. Don't be afraid. Change your life, gentleman.

This book blew my mind because these were mindblowing concepts about women. I honestly never heard of these concepts and was in denial. Then I researched several forums and also talked to men and women outside and confirmed that this was true. Keep in mind that Rollo is writing these concepts from a over a decade of debate, critical inquiry, and refinement. He has refined and molded all the rebuttals and disagreements and drew out conclusions from his observation. He is drawing from thousands of men's experiences with women all across the world. I was disgusted by the concept of the female hypergamy at first. I couldn't believe that female nature is like this. I grew up in a feminine environment where I was taught that boys and girls were equal and that we think the same. Men and women think very differently I realized. These concepts in the book opened my eyes and I couldn't believe it. This suprisingly made me more compassionate towards women in real life and did not make me hate them. This allowed me to see the power that men actually hold and it is a waste of time simping for women. It's better to focus on your purpose as a man and become the right person for the right woman. Simping for woman is a waste of time because they have 2 or 3 options ready even if they give you a chance. This book motivated me to be a better man and to focus on growth and development as opposed to wasting my time chasing after women. I found that my interactions with women have vastly improved in real life. I don't find myself wasting time simping over women. This ironically causes women to give respect to me more which is fascinating. It seems like women give respect to men that are more aligned with their purpose and understand the flaws of female nature. It's kind of a miracle and it's making my day to day life more enjoyable. Beware that some women and beta men will vehemently deny the concepts in this book...but deep down inside they know that it is true. Must read book for all men.

I first came across Rollo's work though Elliott Hulse, and if Hulse recommends a book, it's got to be a great book, and this is more than a bloody great book, this is a transformational and groundbreaking piece of work. I was well informed on game before I read this book, however, I wasn't aware of intersocial dynamics to this extent, this information is such a gem that you need to go through it multiple times to realize how valuable it is. As a 19-year-old I feel it's an absolute pleasure to have stumbled across such information so early on, it opened my eyes to a wide range of hard truths that I see occur regularly around me that represents perfectly well what Rollo describes in the book. Once you read this book and have a look around, you realize how deprived we really are of positive masculinity as described in the book, and how 90% of men are still in the matrix, conforming to feminine idealizations and pedestalizing women to an unbelievable degree. The most disturbing fact of all is that they are totally oblivious of their blue pill conditioning, and this is exactly why it is the norm now and women are loving it while men are figuring out mindlessly how to get their ex back. I lost count to how many friends I have suggested this book, and it's fantastic to see friends becoming aware of such invaluable information, it's a chain reaction. If there's any single book you must read as a man, it has to be this book, and while you're at it just grab the other two volumes as well. PS. Many of your questions and curiosities associated with women and their nature will be answered after reading this book.

Although not a beta male I got to know about the red pill community and rollo tommasi through Reddit.the book is a masterpiece insight of the intersexual dynamics between men and women. Teach you how to man up and think rationally. Here are the key points I learnt from the book. 1. Women are the compliments to a man life never the focus of it. 2. Don't blame women and girls that is their nature. 3.Purposeoverpussy. 4. Your independence and time are the costliest things on the planet. There could be many valuable and life-changing points I can elaborate but no just wanna say grab this one now without giving a second thought that is all.

I cannot recommend "The Rational Male" series of books highly enough to Men, particularly young Men. In a time of crisis a close friend gave me this book and it explained in excruciating detail the story of my life as a "Blue Pilled" male. Following the painful ending of my most recent relationship, and with a string of prior failed relationships. The Rational Male finally explained to me in language I could understand, how, and why this had been the case up to that point. Understanding female nature and the lies told to me by our culture properly has completely changed my life. "The rational Male" series, and the "Red Pill Awareness" I have gained from it has taught me to not hate women for what they can never be to me, but rather appreciate them for what they are. Some of that is not flattering to my old Blue Pill ideals. It is very much obscured in the culture and in the ever present media. Read the book and understand what you as a man should be to a woman, instead of the lie sold to you since childhood. Your life and your relationships with women will be far better for it. Thank you Rollo Tomassi.

The Rational Male is an insightful and a must read book about the intersexual dynamics in a deeper sense. Particularly in today's confusing genders roles, it's a eye opening study about inter and intra genders prospects.

Ho letto più volte “The Rational Male” e lo considero un ottimo libro formativo e un pilastro della Red Pill. Credo che sia importante prendere certi concetti con le pinze e non farsi trascinare in fanatismi e ossessioni varie ed eventuali. Alcuni concetti sono molto interessanti e utili per il vivere quotidiano e le relazioni sociali e sentimentali, altri sono un po’ estremi e lasciano il tempo che trovano. Consiglio di leggerlo a cuor leggero, prendere i concetti che interessano e non fissarsi su ogni parola come se fosse un dogma.
