The Rational Male

After reading The Unplugged Alpha by Richard Cooper, Cooper’s book led me to The Rational Male. This book really made me aware of the feminine imperative that has blinded men for years. I was definitely a plugged-in Beta for sure, but I am definitely unplugged now due to the readings of this book, and the other videos I have watched on YouTube in the recent months. Rollo is right, you can’t go back!I’ll make this short. Men, if you are in your 20s or teens, for the love of God do yourself a favor and read this. It’s going to save you a lifetime of scratching your head, making wrong decisions with females, and how to navigate the sexual marketplace. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I wish I had this book when I was 25 years old when it released. Yet, I am still grateful to read this in my 30s, and know the value for the future.I plan to read the “players handbook” and “Preventive medicine”next. I think a lot of men need to be red pilled to fight the feminine imperative and bring the power back into the man’s realm or frame for the individual. Read this book and unplug gentlemen. I can definitely say I have experienced being in these situations in my life and it all makes sense now!Thank you Rollo J. Tomassi!

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.

Read without prejudice. Use it as one of the “how to” manuals that most guys would had wished they had back in the early adult years.

A "must read" for every single man

I recommend this book to every man with one large caution -- this book overlooks leagues. In my experience there are definitely leagues based on physical appearance, and changes in personality are not likely to move a man out of his league, unless he is on the borderline. Conversely, changes in appearance can move a man out of his league, without any changes in his personality. If you take a hot looking guy and make him look unattractive, he will not be able to get a date with a hot looking girl even though his personality remains unchanged. Take a "10" guy and have him pick up "10" girls in a club -- no problem. Then change him into a "7" guy in appearance, and have him try to pick up "10" girls in a different club. Women who are "10s" don't even see men who are "7s". The "10" guy will learn what it's like to be the invisible man.If a man is a "7" in physical appearance, it is very unlikely that he will do more than get into the "friend zone" with an "8" woman. Most women are physically attracted to a man's physical appearance, not his personality, because sex is physical. If a man's physical appearance does not excite a woman, he is not getting out of the friend zone. But if his physical appearance does excite her, she will drag him out of the friend zone and into her bed, even if he wants to remain in the friend zone for awhile.I once asked a single friend of mine, who is very good looking, how he approached women. He said he didn't approach women, they approached him. He just lets the women decide which of them is going to get him for the evening, it's easier that way. He goes with which ever attractive woman approaches him first. According to him, the most attractive women are usually the most aggressive. No personality needed.As I read the book, I wondered why there was no mention of getting eye-contact from a woman before approaching her. Then it dawned on me, invisible men never get eye-contact. I initially thought that many men in the PUA community may have never gotten eye-contact from any woman, because these men are in the lower levels of physical attractiveness. But then I realized that was unlikely. They would probably get eye-contact from a woman who was a "3", if they were a "3". But these men are going after "10"s, so they are invisible to the women they're pursuing. Eye-contact depends on physical appearance only, not personality.In my opinion women are more influenced by appearance then are men. Why would women be hypercritical of their own appearance, but not hypercritical of men's appearance? Women can dissect a man's appearance more finely than a brain surgeon. Some studies have shown that women's standards are so high that they rate 80% of men as below average in appearance.A man's appearance is so important to women, that they will put up with a jerk if he's hot. Because of this, some men think that women would rather sleep with jerks than with nice guys. But women don't want to sleep with jerks. They simply want to sleep with hot guys. Women will sleep with a jerk if he's hot, and women will sleep with a nice guy if he's hot. Women prefer hot nice guys, but they will put up with jerk behavior from a guy if he's hot, just like men will put up with jerk behavior from a girl if she's hot. It's a case of physical appearance trumping personality.There is one personality trait that does turn women on -- self-confidence. There are self-confident jerks and there are self-confident nice guys. Don't mistake jerk behavior for self-confident behavior. Men who are self-confident with women are self-confident because they've had success with women in the past. And they've had success with women in the past, because women found them physically attractive. It's a case of physical appearance creating self-confidence.It should be a relief to men to learn that they are being friend zoned on physical appearance alone, not their personalities. When women tell friend zoned men that they think they are great guys, women are telling the truth. But women don't want to sleep with great guys, they want to sleep with hot guys. That is something over which guys have no control, and something over which women have no control. A woman can't control who she thinks is hot and who she thinks is not. Physical attraction does not think -- it's a purely physical reaction.My advice would be to make yourself into the most physically attractive man you can be through diet, exercise, hair styling, clothing and even plastic surgery. Then use the techniques in this book to successfully sleep with the women in whichever league your physical appearance lands you. Trying to date above your league is a waste of time and effort, because there are wonderful women in every league, and you could be enjoying your life with the wonderful women in your league, rather than wasting your time being friend zoned by women above your league.
