RedPill godfather Rollo Tomassi put me on to the idea of old books and new books. The idea is this: as men we are indoctrinated to follow the "old books," or the old set of social "rules" that govern dating and sex.

The problem is that women (and society) are not playing by those rules. They are playing by the "new books" which is pretty much open hypergamy.

I've always believed that it's better to accept reality for what it is and conduct oneself accordingly, rather than demand that reality conform to your expectations. In that spirit, here is an outline of how to best utilize the new books to maximize your happiness.

  1. She can pay for herself. Women are fully emancipated and financially independent. There is no reason for you to pay for her drinks, her meals, her movie tickets, her airplane tickets, her hotel room, her student loans, etc. If she cannot afford to participate, she can come along next time. I know that I am preaching to the choir here, but taking a mindset of there is no reason to pay for a woman is the first upside of the new books.

  2. Naked self-interest is expected. The old books taught men to sacrifice themselves for their woman. In turn, they were assured that she would be selflessly giving of herself in return. Of course we know this is bullshit. So how do we benefit? Simple. Be selfish. Women are enjoying the new books because most men are still playing by the old ones. But they actually need us more than we need them. Start playing by the new books and start being as selfish as a bitch. Not just financially- be selfish with your time, your attention, your resources, and your affection. Never compromise your mission or sacrifice your happiness for a female, and NEVER put her interests above yours; IT WILL NOT BE RECIPROCATED.

  3. No strings attached. I actually like the new books. Open hypergamy means that you shouldnt feel guilty for a pump and dump. Women never feel obligated to sleep with a man just because he gave her his love and time and friendship. The upside is that you get to fuck whoever you want, and just because she gave you pussy doesnt mean you are obligated to give her any more of your time or love.

  4. Non-commitment is assumed; exclusivity must be earned. As a man, your freedom is paramount. One of the upsides of the new books is they empower us to maximize our freedom. Under the new books, non-commitment is always assumed. Even if we are fucking, we are not "in an exclusive relationship" until it has been spelled out or discussed. This means that under the new books, you can pretty much guarantee to fuck a chick before giving her ANY of your commitment. The corollary to this is that you must guard your commitment jealously. Avoid exclusive relationships altogether if you can; if not, make her work for your commitment.

  5. Change of heart is allowed. Under the new books, women are allowed to have a change of heart at any time and for any reason. It doesnt matter how long you've been together, how much work you've put into the relationship, or how much money you spent on the wedding. She can always change her mind. The upside of this is that it works both ways. Start thinking like a woman. Reserve the right to change your mind at any time. Feel free to walk away from a relationship the moment it is no longer serving your happiness. Girlfriend got fat? You met someone hotter? She doesnt suck you off everyday anymore? Just walk away. Again, the new books only seem like fun to women because most men arent playing by their rules. Most men stick around way too long out of some misplaced sense of duty. Accept the new books. The moment she stops increasing your happiness, drop her goofy ass.

  6. Marriage is for suckers. I know this is beating a dead horse, but marriage is a lose/lose and should be avoided like the plague. It has ZERO benefit to men. No upside whatsoever, and plenty of downside. The good thing is that under the new books, you can avoid marriage altogether. Society no longer requires marriage for social participation.

What would you add? Anyone have a different concept of what the new books are and what that means for men?
