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”.

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.
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."
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’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.
