Anyone else have a hard time reading The Rational Male?

No offensive dude, but TRM is not a dense book. Rollo could have used a good editorial hand, but I easily read the book on a cross country plane ride. Obviously you aren't a serious reader, which is fine if reading isn't your thing, but it isn't Rollo's problem that it "hurts your brain."

I like Rollo's work but he wants so bad to be the guy who wrote the 21st century Bible or something... he's a little dogmatic and can be needlessly verbose... imo he thinks he's smarter than he is in some ways... he takes a very academic approach to something that is as real and embodied as it gets

In terms of writing I prefer Roosh's more poetic style, but he can be too depressing at times and sometimes gets lost with being a big-picture radical thinker

Ultimately you will have to learn Game through real-life experience so don't get TOO hung up on theory

Get the audiobook.

His writing style is pretty atrocious on paper. Listening to it is much easier.

Oh and the sequels get progressively pretentious, so don't get hung up on theory. Practice is king.

I totally get what you're saying. Reading his blog I almost always would find myself wandering over to another tab mid paragraphs. It can be a drag to read. Like a textbook on women, which you could argue is what Rollo writes more than he writes about "Game", he writes about the concepts. The more you become a reader though the easier it is.

Read a pretty long post of his recently and I got through it a lot easier than I did when I first found all this. Keep at it.

i personally didn't have this problem. i think the book is really long and takes time, but i think the content is readable.

I don't know. Having trouble concentrating is one of the signs of low testosterone. You should make sure that isn't the case.

Try the audiobook.

Take it as a sign of poor reading skill.

I too had trouble reading his verbose and wordy run on sentences, but if anything it just made me realize I need to improve on reading skill

I think reading the blog posts and the comments on his website is much better than reading the book, also threads on some of his blogs on the red pill subreddit would be a much better experience.

Sounds like you don’t want to be an alpha male
