Sometimes called the "Godfather of the Red Pill", Rollo Tomassi has been a permanent fixture in the 'Manosphere' for 20 years.

He is the author of the internationally best selling book series, The Rational Male. Published in 2013, the series' first book, The Rational Male, has become the 'Bible of the Red Pill', positively impacting and saving men's lives worldwide.
Since 2011 Rollo has been the essayist/blogger/owner of The Rational Male blog. He is the host of his own YouTube channel, The Rational Male and a rotating host/panelist of Rule Zero, a weekly men's issues show.

Rollo lives with his wife of 25 years in Reno, Nevada, along with two (or more) greyhounds.

"The Rational Male - Preventive Medicine" is the second volume in The Rational Male series by Rollo Tomassi. The series is centered around understanding and conveying the messages of "The Red Pill"/"Manosophere" movements/philosophies.
If you dont know much about these movements/philosophies then I suggest you Google them first and start with the authors first book. This is a gross oversimplification but in essence their a self help movement trying to understand and navigate intergender reltionships/interactions and empower men in a world society that is largely focused on the opposite (disempowering men and empowering woman). "Taking The Red Pill" is basically becoming aware of the true nature of reality (in this case involving the relationships between the two genders) & changing ones behavior to better survive (and hopefully thrive) in said reality.
The authors first book was more of a "why" book. This book on the other hand is meant to be a "how"/"heal book". In particular it hones in on the various stages woman & men go through and what their thinking and looking for at the moment in their life (in regard to romance). Very useful to know when considering a potential partner. Futhermore the author goes into self help advice in general to help men (and possible woman) maximize their potential while limiting potential life altering mistakes that many men/woman (especially those who are unaware of the red pill) make. Lastly the author includes a much needed glossary of the terms used in the movements/philosophies so that's a plus.
Overall I feel the author delivered on his purpose. My only complaint is that this book is not really "beginner" friendly. So again check out volume one and do a bit of Googling if your new to the movements/philosophies.
The book is best read in conjuction with other books. I would start with "The Game" & "Rules of The Game" (especially this one!) by Neil Strauss. Also check out "No More Mr Nice Guy", "Modern Romance" & "The Selfish Gene". These books all fit into the theme of self improvement and understanding and navigating interpersonal relationships.
Good book and a potentially life changing one. 5/5.
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."
