The Rational Male Paperback – October 1, 2013

This book blew my mind because these were mindblowing concepts about women. I honestly never heard of these concepts and was in denial. Then I researched several forums and also talked to men and women outside and confirmed that this was true. Keep in mind that Rollo is writing these concepts from a over a decade of debate, critical inquiry, and refinement. He has refined and molded all the rebuttals and disagreements and drew out conclusions from his observation. He is drawing from thousands of men's experiences with women all across the world. I was disgusted by the concept of the female hypergamy at first. I couldn't believe that female nature is like this. I grew up in a feminine environment where I was taught that boys and girls were equal and that we think the same. Men and women think very differently I realized. These concepts in the book opened my eyes and I couldn't believe it. This suprisingly made me more compassionate towards women in real life and did not make me hate them. This allowed me to see the power that men actually hold and it is a waste of time simping for women. It's better to focus on your purpose as a man and become the right person for the right woman. Simping for woman is a waste of time because they have 2 or 3 options ready even if they give you a chance. This book motivated me to be a better man and to focus on growth and development as opposed to wasting my time chasing after women. I found that my interactions with women have vastly improved in real life. I don't find myself wasting time simping over women. This ironically causes women to give respect to me more which is fascinating. It seems like women give respect to men that are more aligned with their purpose and understand the flaws of female nature. It's kind of a miracle and it's making my day to day life more enjoyable. Beware that some women and beta men will vehemently deny the concepts in this book...but deep down inside they know that it is true. Must read book for all men.

This book is worth its weight in gold. The book reveals the true state of gender relations and it's far from what socialization teaches. I personally think that this is essential reading for every man. I purchased this book out of curiosity since it was recommended in another awesome book: "The Manosphere" by Ian Ironwood.I hate to be so grandiose but it must be said: the information in this book completely shut me down. What I mean is that everything I knew about women, or should I say, thought I knew about women, was debunked. If you ever sat and wondered why women are as they are; if you ever wondered where you go wrong with women, you find the answers herein.Be warned that you must be able to handle the truth. If this book offends you in any way, then it's clear you need it. I cursed this author under my breath for writing "such lies" about the nature of women. I was truly angry and even considered deleting this book from my Kindle. I went through many of the seven phases of grief during and after reading this book. I even tried to act as if women are the innocent beings as socialization tells us, but could not help but see the truth every single day.Everything I'd been told by family members, the media, school and any other forms of socialization is wrong and I took that personally. In order to describe what I mean by "shut down" mentioned above, I was like a computer with no operating system. I had no clue where to begin now that I know the truth; my daily question being "What now?" My anger towards feminism soared to an all-time high for making a complete fool of me for my entire life.The book clearly warns that once you learn and witness the truth about women and society, there is no going back. If you do so, as I tried, you KNOW you're living a lie. If you ignore the advice in this book while knowing deep down in your soul it's true, you're in a pathetic state of denial. It is utter self-destruction to continue with the beliefs that socialization and feminism would have us accept.If you're a man who believes in all the conventions preached by feminism, then you desperately need this book. Read this book and stop being depressed. Read it and accept the fact that you, as a man, are valuable to society and should not accept the role of a low life servant for the feminist establishment. You have the potential to be a powerful man and a devastating enemy to man-hating ideals and it is this that feminism expertly hides with believable and pretty lies. Read it and see how feminism cleverly uses our innate behavior for its sole benefit. For example: Our protector instinct is used to tear down other men for standing up to a woman even when she's clearly wrong. Read it, cry about it, throw a tantrum, say a thousand "hale Mary's", whatever, but please don't deny the truth contained in this book.

An absolute must read (multiple times) for any male in today’s world. You can pretty much treat this as a Bible...yes, it has that much relevance.Buy it, read it (many times), absorb it, learn it, embrace it and it’ll become a part of your DNA. This book saved my life, figuratively and literally.I’ve also bought this for a few guys who I consider to be brothers. I will recommend, though, that if you do that, when you give it to that person, do it from the heart and DO NOT pressure them to read it. Make sure they understand that it’s theirs to keep and for them to feel free to read it in their own time, and NEVER, and I mean NEVER ask them if they’ve been reading it. They will, in their own time, let you know that they’ve started reading it. It’s happened like that every single time with me. You can’t RP anyone. They have to be in a position to where they’re seeking the answers on their own accord.Mothers, especially single mothers, buy this for your son[s]. I would, though, recommend you to wait until they’re at least 12 or 13-years old or when they start talking about girls, which ever comes first.Read it with them. Put your personal feelings and biases aside and do it with an open mind. I only wish I had this taught to me when I was a young teen. It would have not only changed so many things in my life for the better, but it would’ve saved a lot of heartbreak, as well as some potentially disastrous situations.Fathers, not only do you need this, but your sons do as well.Brothers, you need this as well, and sons, give this to your fathers. I cannot stress how important it is for men, especially now-a-days to read this book, understand it, embrace it, and make it a part of your soul for your survival and well-being, both mental and physical.I know I’ve been very long winded;however, I only wish to convey how imperative it is that men make this book a part of their lives. Thanks for reading and best of luck and love to you and yours in the future.
