"Models" - Mark Manson

I agree it’s nothing revolutionary and essentially the “big takeaway” that I got was that there are women who are naturally into you, women who are neutral, and woman who will never be into you. So approach until you find the ones who are into you. That and “don’t come across as needy”.

As I read the book I started to become confused again like back in my Purple pill days.

In my interactions with attractive women im very hostile these days. Ive entered 4 LTRs since I was 18 (32 now) all with 9+'s, RP has explained all their behaviour. "Models" seemed to be taking me back to that resentment by treating them with the respect that got me dumped and turned into a doormat.

I might complete it or I might reread rational male which is just saturated with aha moments.

It's reaction to the author's flawed understanding and implementation of the mystery method. (Which is decent on seduction, but not particularly red pill either)

The main red pill thing in Models is to be polarizing. It's been said before, and it's major pickup technique, but Mark reaches guys that don't really want to be players or seducers.

A couple good things. But it isn't RedPill.

The polarization part is great. Very useful tool. And being non-needy.

It sort of advocates pedestalization. Go up and be really honest and tell her how beautiful, attractive etc you think she is.

It's not bad, and you do want an element of authenticity in what you do. However, it doesn't touch at Al upon RedPill principles

There are so many things on this book that are contradictory or simply not true.

The big issue for me is when he talks about you be open about your vulnerabilities, but then all the "good" examples are telling some vulnerability you HAD and you overcame it.
That means you CAN'T be open about your current vulnerabilities with your date, you can only open up about things like "Hey, I used to be bullied at school, but now I'm successful"

Preface I’m reading it for the second time and think it’s good.

To me it’s a self improvement book with the side bonus of being better with women.

What do you mean by aggressive?

And what do you mean by not RP enough?

I read Models, it had many holes. Now I'm reading the subtle art of not giving a fuck.

If something of Mark Manson must be praised, it should be his writing style. As a non native English speaker, I really enjoy his get to the point attitude, compared to the wordiness of others like Rollo

I don't recommend any books from Mark Manson, his books and advice are tailored towards the masses, it's pseudo intellect. It's just mainstream, watered down bullshit.

it's a proto-homo book on how to be a hipster metrosexual.

Skip.
