Would you recommend The Rules?

Basically "The Rules" are what would happen if a woman went to TRP and applied that advice to men. Abundance mentality, dread game, push pull, etc. In short, they work (though I tend to think you need to have a pretty high SMV to get them to work, like 8+). With a solid application of "The Rules", you can get many men begging to marry you. Though "The Rules" won't work against men who already Red Pill (aware or not), you can't win someone over with "abundance mentality" who already has abundance mentality...

The problem with "The Rules" isn't that they don't work... it's that if they do work, women are typically no longer attracted to the men they work on. This is why RPW is the complement of TRP, and not a replica of it, men and women are different. Women are hypergamous, and want a man who they feel is somehow "better" than themselves. When they feel in control of the relationship, and feel like they are pulling the strings, they see the men they are with as more gullible, and have less respect for them. Men who fall for "The Rules" lose their allure to women because the role shift of who is in charge is not appealing to women.

I think there are better books out there. I read this and it's too rigid. There is some good advice to take as s general principle, but if you try to follow it to the letter it will make you paranoid and manipulative. I actually had to post here at one point about this question and people said it was pretty rigid and not really the best choice.

Like all relationship/dating/sex/romance books, it works best if you take it with a grain of salt and only use those tools presented within that are appropriate for your situation. Following any of them to the letter will wind you in trouble.

I have never read The Rules, but there is a now defunct blog based on the book called The Rules Revisited that I do highly recommend. It has many posts about comportment, self care, presentation etc. from a man's perspective that I found very helpful.

I [M40s] was getting acquainted with a woman [F30s] a few years ago. I felt that some of her behavior was a bit strange. For example: She would refuse to make a date on Wendsday for a Friday or Saturday night; she said she was busy, yet I believed she had no other suitors. I googled the behavior and found that it was in "The Rules" and that its intent was to indicate to me that she was attractive and had other suitors. -- I examined some of her other behaviors and found that others matched recommendations from The Rules.

I felt that I was being manipulated towards her end goal of marriage. I thought that if she were this manipulative in courtship, what would she be like in marriage. This sealed my opinion of her in the negative.

I let the getting to know her tail off until any semblance of relationship was gone. We haven't spoken in years.
