The Rational Male - Preventive Medicine

This is one of those books, which makes you just sit back and think to yourself "Wow, it's now so clear in my head and so correlated by my own experience and experiences of people around me. Why didn't I think of it myself ?" This is how powerful this book is. Step by step this book lays out the stages of man's life and correlating woman's life. Meticulously explaining every little detail of how and why things are the way they are for both sexes as well as how men could better prepare themselves to be on top of their game at every stage, which parts of their game takes priority and why and how to go about improving them. Through and through Rollo never leaves you hanging wondering why something is the way it is, like many other authors making shallow arguments and/or assertions. Rollo always leaves your cup of knowledge full and wanting more of this amazing and groundbreaking information. The only question you have at the end is "Wow, Why didn't I think about it before. It's all so clear now." Highly recommend this to any guy looking for a more clear understanding of how to be more effective with women at any stage of his or her life. This book not only has the answers, but the clarity to transfer this knowledge over to you. It is that powerful. Just give it a chance and it will do wonders for you.

Back when I was a teenager living with my parents, there was an old paperback from the 70's called Passages gathering dust on one of the bookshelves. I browsed through it once or twice, and while I couldn't really relate to most of the stuff, I did think it was neat how it laid out a road map for how men and women change in their personalities and goals as they age. Well now, Rollo Tomassi has taken this one step further, and written the definitive life-stage guide for a masculine man living in a feminized 21st century world. Let me be clear: this book is BETTER than the original Rational Male. The first one was a great book in its own right and maybe had more important fundamental concepts but it had no clear organizational structure and read more like a series of loosely related blog posts. This one knows where it is going. The book focuses on the life stages of women and how they go from being crazy for hawt guys but somewhat unaware of their power in their teen years to the party years of the 20's to the panic that sets in around 30 to the epiphany where they rationalize that they finally realize how much they appreciate the comfort and provider aspects of men. Although the focus is on women, men are included indirectly since many of their decisions are based of optimization of intimate encounters with said women. The later chapters do, in fact, go into greater detail about how men should respond to all of this in their outlook and important decisions. I interact with girls/women of all ages from teen through college coed through bitter 30's-40's as a result of a variety of social hobbies and Tomassi's descriptions seem pretty accurate. No matter what your stage in life, you can benefit by knowing women's "angle" and not falling into their frame and thereby making decisions that will continue to haunt you down the road. To sum this book up, it made me recall an experience from a couple years back. I was in my hometown for Christmas and paid a visit to an old high school friend at his law firm. He married a tall stunning blonde southern belle right out of college, has a high-paying attorney job, is in the process of building a big new house in the right neighborhood, and has two bright young sons. Meanwhile, I was invisible to desirable women through college and all my 20's. I have an ok job but not particularly lucrative or prestigious, and I fill a lot of my time with reading, team sports, and other hobbies to fill the lack of a family life. Strangely enough, though, there was a slight tinge of regret in my friend's voice as he told me that he envied my freedom. At the time, I thought he was just being nice so as to not draw attention to our relative social status, but after reading this book, I realize he was probably serious. It's not that he doesn't love his family and success but it is all he has ever known. The wife will continue to make demands on his time and energy and even in a best case scenario, she will never be as sexy or amorous as she was at 22. Meanwhile, while some aspects of my life have, frankly, sucked so far (especially when it comes to women) they are likely to improve a great deal, and I now have this book to thank in part for that.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" "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.

I loved this book! Eye opener for a man!

Virei fã de Rollo Thomassi, este livro é uma obra que vai tirar você do seu sono profundo de um mundo voltado totalmente para uma sociedade imperialista feminista. O autor por meio de sua experiência de vida explica cada fase da vida da mulher, suas estratégias sexuais, abre seus olhos com verdades de uma sociedade cada vez mais feminista, onde somos condicionados a um padrão de serventia desde a infância a servir esse modelo de forma automática. “Uma mulher nunca deverá ser o foco da vida de um homem.”

Intergender dynamics over life. Invaluable since I have read it at 20. Recommended read for every man that wants to win wirh women

This book opens up one's mind as to how the Venus aliens allowed to mingle with Mars inhabitators ( to understand Venus-Mars relationship, read the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) and engineered the Mars to be at the receiving end since ages. The author has his own independent knowledge of experience which is helpful in understanding, as to what goes around since man left the ape age (or stone age) with the fairer sex taking unfair advantage ...

La edición mejora con respecto al primero, pero levemente. Sigue siendo un conjunto de artículos de blog puestos en un libro, con una escritura pedante. El tipo de letra está mejorado y el ancho de línea también. Sigue siendo algo lento e incómodo de leer. Sin embargo, de nuevo 5 estrellas porque el contenido sigue siendo tremendo. Fundamental, es una ampliación imprescindible con respecto al primer libro. De hecho, sin este libro, no puedes entender del todo al autor y toda su teoría. Si bien en el primer libro es más una explicación racional crítica de muchos comportamientos, en este libro, en conjunto con el primero, es cuando se torna predictivo del comportamiento humano en las relaciones intersexuales, y es cuando la teoría gana un valor tremendo. Cuando solo tienes una explicación racional a posteriori de un comportamiento, solo tienes "otra teoría más", cuando el modelo no solo es explicativo sino predictivo, sabes que estás en el buen camino. Pon este libro junto con el primero en la lista de tus imprescindibles.
