About the author

Sometimes called the "Godfather of the Red Pill", Rollo Tomassi has been a permanent fixture in the 'Manosphere' for 20 years. With a focus on evolutionary psychology and objectivism, Rollo brings a pragmatic, nuts & bolts, approach to intersexual dynamics, men and women's innate natures and their effects on today's society.
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 is a frequent guest on the Fresh & Fit Podcast as well as the Rich Dad Podcast with Robert Kiyosaki.
Rollo lives with his wife of 25 years in Reno, Nevada, along with two (or more) greyhounds.

Beware: Positive Life Changing Read For Men

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have been riveted by reading The Rational Male and it made me feel immensely validated as a man. I wish this were available for me to read when I was 18, but better late than never. Nonetheless, it could have made a real positive difference with the sequence of events in my adult life between dating, fornicating, marriage and divorce.
This book is a collection of blog posts from Rollo’s website under the same name. Some are shorter than others, but most of them are a pleasure to read because of Rollo’s unique way of expressing himself. These essays convey valuable insight pertaining to a myriad of topics like feminism, masculinity, sex, and dating women to name a few.
Please read the negative reviews to understand that there’s a common beta(AFC) theme present in so many of them. The negative reviews are hilariously and sadly relevant to this book. It’s humorously convenient how the offense taken by many of the low review AFCs are indeed men who can’t stomach the enlightening perspectives that Rollo is waking men up to.
It’s fascinating to see how many of those same negative reviews dismiss this book as merely misogynistic which it is definitely not. To say such a thing is to be a pie in the face of truth. These men demonstrate the unrelenting feminine schema that has infected them(us). The more these AFCs doth protest, the more they substantiate the remarkable reality of these things. This is the whole point of reading the book! To wake up from your feminine imposed slumber! It’s to inform yourself of these uncomfortable truths! Ideally, I think that men and women are not meant to be, nor should they be pitted against one another, but instead should exist to compliment one another in a state of beautiful harmony.
So, read the negative reviews to see how AFC men paradoxically whine and simultaneously love those oppressive feminine chains! Why would I want to live in a paradox of contradictory messages? Knowing that I'm "not crazy" is like throwing a ton of burden off of my shoulders. Why wouldn't I want to alleviate such stress?
This book was WELL worth the money spent on it. This is an excellent value for the expenditure versus the time reading it.
You must have a truly open mind for these essays though. No wonder the "red pill" is oft referred to as a Matrix metaphor, because short of amnesia, brain damage or Alzheimers, you can't go back to not knowing once you learn something, and these are heavy ideas to digest. If you’re not comfortable with introspection and being honest about society, this book probably isn’t for you. However, if you want to grow to be a better man, then you may have just stumbled upon something truly great for you.
Don’t read it if you don’t want to change.
Just one simple gripe, there are many editing issues and typos in this book. Considering the value of the content, I think a revision should include a substantial list of corrections.

Every man should read this book and it should be made a mandatory read for every adolescent boy as they are getting ready to "go out" into the world of adults.

In order to not fail in your relationship you must know the rules of intersexual dynamics in order to manipulate them so to become a desireable man to your wife; this will also have the effect of increasing your status as a pawn in the game of society.
This book will teach you the basics of intersexual dynamics, which in turn is one great pillar of the good life.
