Question for blue pill: Have you read the TRP books before judging it?

Nah, but I'm planning on reading Models! 8)

A little of The Rational Male, hoped for a better TRP, found stupidity, hypocrisy and disappointment.

I've read the stuff on the TRP sidebar. It's all absolute dogshit.

Nah. I've read plenty of articles in the TRP recommended reading list like AVFM, ROK, MGTOW, etc. But I have plenty of more worthwhile books to read.

I'd assume that most TRPers also haven't read those books considering the amount of "misunderstanding" that goes on in that sub.

Read the 48 laws of power. It was cute when I was 14, but seemed more about game playing than getting shit done.

I've read the articles linked in the sidebar, but not those books. If The Rational Male is a collection of Tomassi's main articles, as the Amazon blurb seems to suggest, I'd imagine I'd be familiar enough with the premise. The only 'manosphere' book I've read that comes to mind is The Way of Men by Jack Donovan (and, if we're counting 48 Laws as a RP book, I've read that too. I've also read Donovan's Androphilia, but I think that's a bit too gay to count as RP given that they focus on hetero stuff.)

I think I know enough about TRP to identify where my fundamental disconnect is though. TRP relies on a lot of EvoPsych principles that, as a proponent of social learning theory, I don't agree with, which means I'm unlikely to see eye to eye with people who follow it. I still enjoy debating social issues in an arena where I'm actually talking with people who disagree with me rather than just arguing semantics, which is why I'm here.

Also, on a semi-related note, Sex God Method apparently costs $149 on Amazon US (can't find it at all on Amazon UK.) Wtf? I would expect Daniel Rose to personally come out and blow me for that kind of money.

Those aren't even the most representative books of TRP. Try the 48 Laws or Models

I'm calling it right now: The honest answer from the vast majority of BP'ers will be "no". Maybe we'll get a "Yes" here and there, but overwhelmingly it'll be "no" for the majority of them.

And of course, I'll get downvoted for this post, which will make it extra hilarious when it turns out that I was right.

When did those become TRP books?

l_____o_____l · 2014-12-30T12:27:21+00:00

I've read all the free material, far more than enough to understand the principles. There is no way I'm giving money to those assholes.

I just finished models it was good read. but i wouldn't consider it RP more PP

nomdplume · 2014-12-29T21:44:09+00:00

I've only read models out of this list. Models is a great book but it would be described by blue pillers as "common sense".

I Googled Sex God Method and the author looks like he should be tutoring calculus. Nigga please.
