5.0 out of 5 starsWhy do my eyes hurt? Because you've never used them before.
By Constantine on November 15, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
About 4 years ago I watched a TV ad. Ad was about a fat boy (male in his 30) crying in his bed calling for his mother, because he was sick. At the same time his wife was standing beside, looking pity and giving him an advertised pill. I sat there with only one thought: " what the hell." That night I watched only ads. I was shocked with what I found. Almost every ad had the same concept of crying, weak or somehow passive man and woman in dominant role. I couldn’t fully comprehend the stuff I was seeing at that time. And so it began.
I wanted to understand. I wanted to know why. I wanted to know if I'm the only one or am I just going crazy. I've been in serious relationships, in playful, I had ONS, but when I tried to understand and rationalize my behavior and behavior of other people around me, I failed to make the correct order out of it.

This book in particular, was one of the first semi-serious evaluations I read about this topic. It helped me to structure my thoughts and understand my own actions, as well as people around me. For me it was like reading in the native language I knew when I was a kid, but then lost overtime, and when I started reading again, the language came back to me, and I could fully understand and enjoy the full power and passion of it, even more comparing to when I was a kid.

However, there is a downside. The downside comes not from the book itself, but rather from us and our own ego. Unintentionally we were set up that way that when you read the book, and you have your own “aha” moment, people tend to go from one extreme to another. They feel burned, they feel like they were lied to their whole life, and so their first reaction is anger, its irritation, its generalization of facts and actions of other people.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA very valuable book for all modern men (and women)
By Maya on October 4, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book and will certainly re-read it.

All men have to navigate the sexual marketplace and relationships with women throughout their lives, and most men instinctively want a more sophisticated understanding of how that market really works. At least I always have. Unfortunately the modern media is so terrified of offending women and losing the marketing cashflow associated with them, it's become aggressively anti-male to the detriment of the average guy. Most men spend their entire lives perceiving the gender power dynamics around them almost as white noise, with no real ability to tune into what's actually happening in their interactions. Many men perceive their own gender and even themselves to be unworthy of the respect, dignity and options our society is so desperate to guarantee for the average woman, without really understanding why they feel this way.

The Rational Male is an easy to digest set of essays that essentially tune men into the real dynamics of the sexual marketplace, and the cultural/political forces surrounding it. It's easy to see when reading it that the author's primary intent is to educate the average guy about his potential, options, leverage and best strategies when interacting with women. It's particularly valuable because it does an excellent job of explaining women's sexual and relationship strategies, and some of the most common social conventions used to leverage guys into acting against their own best interest in their relationships without them even realizing it.

If you read and appreciated books like Men on Strike by Dr Helen Smith or The Myth of Male Power by Warren Farrell, you will probably enjoy this book as well, because although they cover different subjects they frequently touch on similar themes.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars"Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is.. you have to see it for yourself." - Morpheus
By B. Young on August 11, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
That line of dialogue taken from one of the greatest movies ever is a perfect description of the journey this book takes you on. I knew nothing of Red Pill Philosophy, Pick-Up Artistry or the Manosphere before reading this book. A philosophy that was man-centric, even in theory, probably would have made me recoil in disgust 2 years ago. So it was my ignorance to what I was getting into that left my brain truly open to the things talked about and explored in this book. It was that ignorance that made me continue reading it. Ignorance is, after all, the beginning of wisdom.

Why I chose that specific line from the Matrix as the headline of my review is simple: I got more out of experiencing and seeing with my own eyes and ears EXACTLY what was said in the book than I ever did while reading it. I was told what the Matrix was, in a sense.. but never truly understood it until I finished the book and continued my life and saw first hand the constant beta-male mindset that has taken over as "the norm". Watch any commercial or sitcom where there is a husband and wife dynamic being portrayed for all the proof you need that being beta is more or less expected of every man. It's a great line from a great movie, but it fits so well with my experience of reading this book and having my eyes opened truly for the first time. I call it my pre-RM life and post-RM life. Pre-RM life was a complete waste of time. Now, for the first time, I feel like I have a grasp on what is really going on beneath the surface between men and women. A grasp I never would have been open to or realized without reading this book.

You may be wondering "If no one can be told what the matrix is, why bother reading this book?" It's simple.Read more ›
