## Description

Review: Transformational, exactly what men need right now - 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.
Review: The Definitive Guide to Women in the sexual market place - Before the sexual revolution, society and religion regulated the interactions between men and women so men could afford to be ignorant of female nature. The 60s brought sexual liberation, legalised abortion, the welfare state and universally available contraception followed by no-fault divorce and heavily female-centric custody laws. This gave women control over children birth combined with the legal hammer of child support and the safety net of the welfare state and heavily tipped the scales in their favour. Men, who had up to now been playing by the old rules, have been left confused and hurt by behaviours the seemingly irrational and often cruel choices of women that started after this power shift. The Rational Male is the first and seminal book that helps the male reader to make sense of this new dating landscape. Since its publication, there has been an explosion of 'Red Pill' authors and books on the same topic but nowhere is the information laid out more clearly or logically than in the Rational Male. The book explains female nature through the lens of the female sexual strategy of always looking to trade up (hypergamy.) When this is viewed not just as a desire, but as an imperative, we are shown how many confusing female behaviours become not only explainable, but predictable. Men have been guilty of taking a 'male-centric' approach and treating relationship problems with logic, communicating logically and expecting women to be logically consistent with their statements. For example, when a woman says that if a man does more housework she will be more willing in the bedroom, men can be fooled into thinking this is a logical trade and be puzzled by why she is still not in the mood after he has done the dishes. By using the framework in the Rational Male and observing rather than listening, men can begin to understand women and to adjust their behaviours to get what he wants from the relationship. The Rational Male is (literally) a life saving book and essential reading for any man, single, dating or married. This was the information your father never told you and the information he never had to learn. Buy this book and buy a copy for your closest male friend too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid advice - Although I disagree with applying some concepts
*by T***T on 8 February 2019*

As a man who has recently entered back into the sexual market place after a five-year hiatus, the rational male has been one of the foundation books of forearming me before stepping back into the arena. I tried the MGTOW thing after getting burned severely in my last relationship and turns out it wasn’t for me. Primarily because I both enjoy spending time with women and the potential growth that can be gained in relationships. Therefore, gaining red pill awareness to better place myself into a position that makes it less likely to get heavily burned again seems to be the best option available. It won’t guarantee it, but it stacks the odds more in my favor. And this book gives plenty of solid advice to better arm oneself at the outset. The key parts, for me personally, to take away from the book are: - to place yourself as the number one focus of your life and invest in yourself first and foremost - to only allow women as a compliment to your life, never the center of it - spend your time and energy on achieving your life objectives, and if entering a relationship maintain that same focus and drive permanently. And never allowing her to stop or change you in any way. - that soulmates are a myth, and instead, there are many ones out there, and if one relationship doesn’t work out then to just move on asap without ever looking back. - that it’s normal to catch ONEitis for one girl, and by understanding the psychology behind why this occurs makes it easier to deal with and move on from if a relationship doesn’t work out. As with everything in life, you must always take the good points and leave the bad (or the points you don’t agree with.) And in this case, although I completely agree with the psychology behind plate theory - which is knowing within oneself that you have plenty of other options if one girl doesn’t work out - having sex with multiple girls concurrently is something that doesn’t appeal to me. With that said, however, all the other advice in the book has equipped me with psychological tools I never had previously which has placed me in a stronger position now in regards to women, than before I read it. Also, The 9 Iron Rules of Tomassi included at the end of the book justify buying it alone. I refer back to these every few months or so which help keep me grounded, especially rule number one regarding frame. Thank you for your work, Rollo - it is much appreciated.
