Publisher's Summary

The Rational Male is a rational and pragmatic approach to intergender dynamics and the social and psychological underpinnings of intergender relations. The book is the compiled, 10-year core writing of author/blogger Rollo Tomassi from therationalmale.com.

Rollo Tomassi is one of the leading voices in the globally growing, male-focused online consortium known as the "Manosphere". Outlined are the concepts of positive masculinity, the feminine imperative, plate theory, operative social conventions, and the core psychological theory behind game awareness and "red pill" ideology. Tomassi explains and outlines the principles of intergender social dynamics and foundational reasoning behind them.

If the medium is the message...

The narration needs work. I fell asleep a few times. Please consider a better voice for reading. Someone with more passion and dramatic flair? Or is that asking too much?

This is a must read/listen for all men

After two divorced and an unplanned pregnancy (cough cough) all of my questions on what happened are answered. I'm late middle age and have made my bed. I immediately bought print copies and handed them out to my young friends (as well as print copy for myself).

I followed all the rules that society and conditioning promised me would result in a happy ever after. My ex's have an income source, so someone's happy.

I beat myself up for being a failure and was very depressed. I did do things wrong but not how I thought. All the reasons why and how I should have conducted myself are spelled out here.

Misfit Narration

The narration is, slow, robotic, and doesn't fit the material. Rollo should do it himself.

Past that, the Rational Male is essential reading for all men, especially young men, living in pathologically feminist societies.

a struggle to listen to

Listening to this made me cringe. the content was ok, but it seemed like it was written by someone with a limited vocabulary.

Saved My Life.

I discovered your work when I was 20 years old ( 3 years ago) at the time I was; cynical, lost, depressed, suicidal with no hope. I was raised in a house full of women and the crippling multiple “oneitis” - that would put a halt to my; studies, school, work - are a testament to how much my condition was influenced by this. The unplugging was PAINFUL ( would not wish it on my worst enemy) but THANK God I went through it, otherwise I would not be the man I am today. I am better physically, financially and mentally than I have EVER been. I have a purpose, greater responsibility, stronger relationships with my family and strong male friendships that push each other to improve and hold us accountable. I wish I discovered this at 18 but I am lucky to have found it when I did. I can’t imagine how my life would be without your work. The future is bright and I know the best is yet to come.

downloaded on the urging of a friend, what a waste

A very good friend of mine highly recommended this book so I really tried to glean some sort of benefit from the 15+ hours invested but eventually had to accept that this brand of junk, self help, make women want you, nonsense is just that. don't make the same mistake I did.... steer clear of this one

A must read for a man of any age!

Loved the book! found it to be very insightful with helping me to get a more complete picture of male female dynamics. I highly recommend this book to a man of any age looking to level up in life and better themselves!
