It’s an interesting read.

The wild conclusions he jumps to make it a slightly frustrating read if you don’t go in to it with the mindset of automatically agreeing with everything he says. I feel this is somewhat intentional though, as he’s one of these older dudes who gets a kick out of developing a cult-like following of younger men.

However, if you manage to sift through the many weird assertions and do finish the book, you will find some excellent insights on intersex dynamics from a man who is clearly very intelligent and has put a lot of thought in to the subject.

I would approach it with the mindset of it being an informational book that will make you think rather than a set of behaviours that you should emulate. Some of his advice could lead you down a dangerous path.

Interesting read, but it's bloody long winded. For simple folk, like me, it can be difficult at times.

It's too angry. Read Models, then balance what Rolo says vs. what Mark's perspective on relationships is.

Read all 3 of them then read The Game and The Truth both by Neil Strauss and Models by Mark Manson. Then come to your own conclusions based on observation of people in your own life, and your own life. It changed my life but not everyone is me.

PS his blog is good too.

Eye opening for me. The vast majority of the content was very revealing and eye opening. I would say that while you're reading it, you'll have a lot of "Ah, that explains insert female behaviour". It's really helped me understand female psychology and the sexual dynamics.

However, I do remember that there were some passages that I disagreed with.

I think it's a good read but I don't think about it too often when I'm gaming. Girls may like me because of their "Hypergamous nature" but that doesn't cross my mind. I believe it can hinder you if you keep it at the forefront of your mind.

Certainly worth the read.

Critical Review of Book

He always felt like a discount version of Roissy but whereas Roissy is angry at women, Rollo seems to be terrified of them.

From a female perspective, if a guy treated me like that it would NEVER get to the physical part! Might be a cool guy but one that's more friend material than partner material.

I started reading the book out of curiosity. Five pages in, some stuff the author wrote about makes sense to me. I may stop reading it at some point since the book has way too many pages for my bird-size female brain to process.
