Building on the core works of The Rational Male® – Preventive Medicine presents a poignant outline of the phases of maturity and the most commonly predictable experiences men can expect from women as they progress through various stages of life.

Rational and pragmatic, the book explores the intergender and social dynamics of each stage of women's maturity and provides a practical understanding for men in dealing with women in those phases.

Preventive Medicine also provides revealing outlines of feminine social primacy, Hypergamy, the 'Hierarchies of Love' and the importance of understanding the conventional nature of complementary masculinity in a world designed to keep men ignorant of it.

The Rational Male® – Preventive Medicine seeks to help men who "wish they knew then what they know now."

The book is the first in of series complements to The Rational Male®, the 20-year core writing of author/blogger Rollo Tomassi from The Rational Male Blog. Rollo Tomassi is one of the leading voices in the globally growing, male-focused online consortium known as the “Manosphere”.

Exhaustive

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2022

Goes into greater detail about certain times in your life you've experienced with certain women. Whether or not it was a relationship, marriage, encounter or just a desire that wasn't reciprocated.

This book makes "connecting the dots" as Rollo says, much easier. pay attention to the order in which he recommends these books to be read. Bec noause you likely will be referring back to other things and cross referencing.

Be sure to use that highlighter and reread! Certain things in this book will seem like second nature, while others will have you jaw dropped in amazement that you didn't see it that way before.

Life 201: Advanced Concepts

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2018

After Reading the first book of The Rational Male series, I couldn't wait for a day to start this second one. If the first book is the milk, this second book is the meat.

Preventive Medicine was more like Preventive Chemotherapy. As someone who is averse to drugs of any kind, I found a good chunk of this pill incredibly hard to swallow. The chapters on Hypergamy are particularly gag inducing.

I'm being metaphorical, because to put it bluntly: Hypergamy as Rollo describes in such awful, disappointing detail is, unfortunately, quite accurate. What I found especially jarring is not the fact that all women are capable of it. It wasn't even the fact that hypergamy can drive a woman to sacrifice everyone and everything, even her own happiness, self-worth, and sanity, to achieve its ideals. It wasn't even the fact that hypergamy is the ever present feminine instinct perfected by eons of biochemical programming, intended for the sole purpose of bringing together the best pairs of human beings to procreate the next generation and propagate healthy members of the species with the highest biological and cultural survivability possible. Oh no. It wasn't even the realization that hypergamy leaves more casualties than it rewards because men, over the years, have lost their edge in a relatively quiet, peaceful, technologically advanced environment.

The biggest jarring aspect of hypergamy is that in today's safe, peaceful, enabling society, hypergamy tends to reward only the most ruthless, amoral, cunning, and devious of men.

Women today aren't hiding their sexual nature: to be associated with the best men. That is the game. There really is no incentive for a woman to settle with a good man who doesn't raise her body temperature or significantly elevate her social status. That is the game. And the house will guarantee that without the best biological, financial, and psychological cards in your hand, you will lose. Every time. And the best cards are looks, wealth, and game.

Lofty ideals like truth, honour, love, kindness, courage, integrity are only valuable among men, and sought after by women only after a man satisfy her primary instinctive desire: A man fit for breeding.

Do not be deceived by those who would insist that women can truly value a man for any stretch of time for more than his biological utility. The relationship between male and female has always been first and foremost, sexual. And it is hard for a good man to get laid.

Of course, the author doesn't tell you what to do with all this. You have to figure that for yourself.

Hate the game and shun womankind. But you can be sure that they will not shun you when society finds some use for you. A laughingstock. A scapegoat. A martyr. An unwilling facilitator of its ideals...

Ignore the game and forget you ever knew what it meant to be informed. Return to going through the motions. Trust the system. It has your best interests at heart. So you've been told...

There's a third option. Read the Rational Male: Preventive Medicine. Let it's content break your heart and take away your imagined security.

"For no man may find his way home, unless he admits he is truly lost, and must confront the horrors of the night."

How to Be a Man in All Stages of Life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

Back when I was a teenager living with my parents, there was an old paperback from the 70's called Passages gathering dust on one of the bookshelves. I browsed through it once or twice, and while I couldn't really relate to most of the stuff, I did think it was neat how it laid out a road map for how men and women change in their personalities and goals as they age. Well now, Rollo Tomassi has taken this one step further, and written the definitive life-stage guide for a masculine man living in a feminized 21st century world.

Let me be clear: this book is BETTER than the original Rational Male. The first one was a great book in its own right and maybe had more important fundamental concepts but it had no clear organizational structure and read more like a series of loosely related blog posts. This one knows where it is going.

The book focuses on the life stages of women and how they go from being crazy for hawt guys but somewhat unaware of their power in their teen years to the party years of the 20's to the panic that sets in around 30 to the epiphany where they rationalize that they finally realize how much they appreciate the comfort and provider aspects of men. Although the focus is on women, men are included indirectly since many of their decisions are based of optimization of intimate encounters with said women. The later chapters do, in fact, go into greater detail about how men should respond to all of this in their outlook and important decisions.

I interact with girls/women of all ages from teen through college coed through bitter 30's-40's as a result of a variety of social hobbies and Tomassi's descriptions seem pretty accurate. No matter what your stage in life, you can benefit by knowing women's "angle" and not falling into their frame and thereby making decisions that will continue to haunt you down the road.

To sum this book up, it made me recall an experience from a couple years back. I was in my hometown for Christmas and paid a visit to an old high school friend at his law firm. He married a tall stunning blonde southern belle right out of college, has a high-paying attorney job, is in the process of building a big new house in the right neighborhood, and has two bright young sons. Meanwhile, I was invisible to desirable women through college and all my 20's. I have an ok job but not particularly lucrative or prestigious, and I fill a lot of my time with reading, team sports, and other hobbies to fill the lack of a family life. Strangely enough, though, there was a slight tinge of regret in my friend's voice as he told me that he envied my freedom. At the time, I thought he was just being nice so as to not draw attention to our relative social status, but after reading this book, I realize he was probably serious. It's not that he doesn't love his family and success but it is all he has ever known. The wife will continue to make demands on his time and energy and even in a best case scenario, she will never be as sexy or amorous as she was at 22. Meanwhile, while some aspects of my life have, frankly, sucked so far (especially when it comes to women) they are likely to improve a great deal, and I now have this book to thank in part for that.

I love it! I had to buy another one, since mine was lost.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2022

I have the Kindle version. And just read this one. I don’t remember if I had a physical copy of “The Rational Male- Preventive Medicine”, or that it was lost. So I’m getting another one and it arrives in three days.

I’m currently in the middle of reading the 3rd book of the “The Rational male” series. And I’m half way done.

This second volume, explains further on women, and how it affects women in the dating world and how actual alpha men treat low value and high value women.

So if you want to know the truth on women, the truth that society hide from you, you should get this book, and grow your masculinity and the knowledge it has for you.

The Rational Male, Positive Masculinity and Preventative Medicine are the most comprehensive, intelligent and accurate assessment I've ever read of intergender relationships. As a lawyer I refer these books and the blog to my family clients and criminal clients, particularly the men who have been wrongly accused, lost their homes, access to their children and had their reputations destroyed. This work has saved many of them from giving up and killing themselves. The author is exceptionally intelligent, genuine and his work is profound.

I got this after first readinf the first after a break up. I read this one after reading the first one rational male. I found this compared to that book super easy to read and understand. The set out of the book is more digestible in that the text is that lil bit bigger to read and things seem to be spaced out more. It would be good if it came with an a3 version of the chart he discusses but we can do that ourselves so it works out. As for the content it was much easier to take in this is because the main unplugging happens during the first book so this just adds further explanations to that. Also its like someone told Rollo he was being a bit cryptic about what he was saying and I found his sentences to make more sence and I found I got his meaning on the first read as opposed to having to read over and over to get what he means. There comes a point where after say the first third I was able to fly through it. I don't find this one to be as profound as the first one. Its less about do xyz and more about here is what a woman is like at this age an that age to raise awarenes as to how you can best deal with em. After this and the first I defo feel like I understand women an their actions and the world around me in light of this new red mill mindset. I have started in the third one and this one does have a section of do this and don't do that which will really help cos up to that point ya kind of left to ya own devices of how to interpret what he is saying and apply to your own life. For the cost of the book defo get it. This isn't a book about pick up per se but it will affect your actions with women as it will influence your mindsets.

The whole trilogy are great,eye opening books.To be honest they can be a bit hard going in places,they are not the most easy to read,lots of theories and "big words" abound Ha but you can certainly get a sense of how women rule the roost and I do recommend them.The thing with books like this,is they make you think..which is not a bad thing.if you are sick of cowering down to the missus-buy this,and reclaim your self esteem!

Bold and insightful cutting to the very heart of contemporary gender dynamics

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I would urge any man, boy, mother, sister, girlfriend or wife. In fact, any human living within the western world to read this book, you wouldn't go wrong to look at Tomassi's other work. Coming across this and other work in the same vein is the very tonic that confirms your suspicions that there is something "not quite right" with how the dominant view of relationships between male and females play out.
