The Rational Male

This book was enthusiastically recommended to me by my cousin. I loved it and I’ll certainly be buying Tomasi’s two subsequent books.I have been riveted by reading The Rational Male and it made me feel immensely validated as a man. I wish this were available for me to read when I was 18, but better late than never. Nonetheless, it could have made a real positive difference with the sequence of events in my adult life between dating, fornicating, marriage and divorce.This book is a collection of blog posts from Rollo’s website under the same name. Some are shorter than others, but most of them are a pleasure to read because of Rollo’s unique way of expressing himself. These essays convey valuable insight pertaining to a myriad of topics like feminism, masculinity, sex, and dating women to name a few.Please read the negative reviews to understand that there’s a common beta(AFC) theme present in so many of them. The negative reviews are hilariously and sadly relevant to this book. It’s humorously convenient how the offense taken by many of the low review AFCs are indeed men who can’t stomach the enlightening perspectives that Rollo is waking men up to.It’s fascinating to see how many of those same negative reviews dismiss this book as merely misogynistic which it is definitely not. To say such a thing is to be a pie in the face of truth. These men demonstrate the unrelenting feminine schema that has infected them(us). The more these AFCs doth protest, the more they substantiate the remarkable reality of these things. This is the whole point of reading the book! To wake up from your feminine imposed slumber! It’s to inform yourself of these uncomfortable truths! Ideally, I think that men and women are not meant to be, nor should they be pitted against one another, but instead should exist to compliment one another in a state of beautiful harmony.So, read the negative reviews to see how AFC men paradoxically whine and simultaneously love those oppressive feminine chains! Why would I want to live in a paradox of contradictory messages? Knowing that I'm "not crazy" is like throwing a ton of burden off of my shoulders. Why wouldn't I want to alleviate such stress?This book was WELL worth the money spent on it. This is an excellent value for the expenditure versus the time reading it.You must have a truly open mind for these essays though. No wonder the "red pill" is oft referred to as a Matrix metaphor, because short of amnesia, brain damage or Alzheimers, you can't go back to not knowing once you learn something, and these are heavy ideas to digest. If you’re not comfortable with introspection and being honest about society, this book probably isn’t for you. However, if you want to grow to be a better man, then you may have just stumbled upon something truly great for you.Don’t read it if you don’t want to change.Just one simple gripe, there are many editing issues and typos in this book. Considering the value of the content, I think a revision should include a substantial list of corrections.

It is a clean, explicite, methodical, thorough, objective and pragmatic look at human behavior in the context of intersexual dynamics.Every man should read this book and it should be made a mandatory read for every adolescent boy as they are getting ready to "go out" into the world of adults.

This book develops a system of thought for understanding the ancient struggle and uneasy alliance between men and women and how it brings us to the present day. The ideas in this book are rooted in evolution psychology, a keen observation of social norms and behaviors, and the collective experience of the author and many other men connecting the dots to understand women. Rollo takes these starting points and develops deeper insights into what is essentially an evolutionary arms race between men and women, fought on a social, cultural, political, biological and sexual level. The sexual economics of reproduction (eggs are expensive and sperm is cheap) dictates that women have an upper hand in this race, and men need a leg up in the Game if we are to perform and survive. There is always another layer of this onion to peel back and Rollo does so with intense clarity. On top of this Rollo goes into great detail on the common rationalizations men use to justify their lack of success with women, and how the common man's approach to women may seem logical but is in fact completely misguided. He also details women's approach to sexual selection and how our entire social structure as a society is meant to facilitate the female strategy at the expense of men. He then asks men to change the way they think about these problems, as well as how they think about themselves, to increase their chances of success and happiness in a sociosexual system that is at odds with them. Rollo goes out of his way to recognize that the ideas he presents may be offensive to some readers, but I for one had no problem with them and they in fact confirmed and clarified my own experiences with women, but condensed it all down to a coherent whole. Other reviewers have commented on Rollo's writing style, which is a bit heavy on the $10 words, and I did find myself wanting to correct his grammar at times. However I refused to allow that to distract me from the gravity of his ideas and conclusions. Besides, as I continued reading I acquired a taste for his writing style, there is an art to it which I think some simply don't appreciate. While I'm not quite ready to classify the ideas Rollo puts forward as a validated scientific theory on gender dynamics, I find it to be a damn compelling hypothesis with a lot of predictive and explanatory power. I suspect that current and future observations of female behavior in our society will only further cement the conclusions of this book. On a personal level, this book has heightened my awareness of the social dynamics that are designed to limit my potential in my interactions with women, and why those dynamics came into existence in the first place. 5 stars does no justice to this book, it is absolutely life changing.

It is an insightful text. It challenges preconceived notions that are prevalent in our culture, but for the purpose of better communication and better function. People will become uncomfortable having those ideas challenged, but they will have the opportunity to learn from the experience.

El libro llegó en excelentes condiciones 👌, al autor: Rollo Tomassi ya lo conocía a través de su canal en Youtube: The Rational Male, conozco su contenido y los temas que se exponen en este canal, pero adquiri el libro a manera de complemento para llenar esos espacios donde se requiere el conocimiento, no tengo inconvenientes en leer el material en ingles, pero a lo mejor para otros si lo será, por lo cual si considero necesario que existiera una versión para la población de habla hispana. Pero en general es un libro que todo hombre necesita leer. 👌

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.

Should be handed to every male teen
