About Rule 1: there are practically no questions you can ask him that he hasn't covered in a post.

TheFamilyAlpha · 2016-09-14T16:30:59+00:00

To the guys who will be reading this & for all who benefit - understand it didn't just happen.

Don't be a woman & think things just happened to bring Rollo to the MRP subreddit.

I watched this play out from the beginning. I've watched /u/[deleted] from his first post where WMP & I tested him to what he's become, a man whose taken ownership of himself & has consciously chosen to help others.

This AMA is happening and all of you are afforded the opportunity to chat with one of the most influential minds on the Manosphere because /u/[deleted] made it happen.

He made it happen on Reddit & he made it happen on Twitter.

Instead of being a member who leeches value, he helped others, became a mod, set a standard of this sub, & is actively looking for ways to not only improve the quality here, but also to grow the MRP side of the house & the legitimacy of this group.

I don't want you to spam his inbox with pictures of your rock hard cocks as a thank you - but I do want you to see ways you can do the same as well as observing that if you want it, you've got to make it happen.

The sky's the limit gentlemen.

My question is, what's your thoughts on bringing our sons into the manosphere? I completely understand the "first rule of fightclub", in terms of discussing it with my homies. A couple are pretty naturally RP, so we kick our thoughts into the proverbial fire. The rest are pussies and would just fuck my shit up.

As for my boys, is there an age in which I should start discussing the inner workings of the female psyche? Would they possibly bring it back to mom and again fuck my shit up? I've already been instilling MGTOW on them subconsciously, but the idea of making them figure women out on their own seems rather anti-mentor?

stonepimpletilists · 2016-09-13T18:06:32+00:00

I'll add my own personal questions on this one:

What's your thoughts on much of the manosphere (read:alt right + others) and horseshoe theory during this political cycle. Is a lot of what's passing now for masculinity just more of the same, albiet with a manly covering?

I'm curious, don't see much talk about your time on the SoSuave forums. How did you get from there to here? Where did you see they went wrong in your opinion? And where do you see TRP having it's 15 minutes, and what could possibly come out of the ashes?

And finally, you asked everyone, but how would you actually open that table of girls in Lake Tahoe? I was at a loss, wondering what you would do?

BluepillProfessor · 2016-09-27T02:43:48+00:00

You have written The Rational Male book and blog which are deep philosophical works covering the gamut of male / female relations but you have shied away from the LTR / Marriage Genre. At one point you directly said you did not want to run the risk of infringing on Athol Kay's playground (or something along those lines).

My theory for this tragic absence of your thoughts on the LTR genre is that given the different types of relationships and marriages it is extremely difficult to come up with a one-size-fits-all package and at the same time avoid violating the Hippocratic Oath (i.e. first do no harm).

Can you explain why you have avoided the LTR / Marriage genre especially since you yourself are long time happily married?

Also have you read my book and if so any thoughts?

sh0ckley · 2016-09-12T10:40:19+00:00

Very nice. Thanks for setting this up.

The Godfather of the manosphere. I appreciate Mr. Tomassi and the MRP Team for this incredible opportunity.

I think it is a testament to his work that I can't immediately think of a burning unanswered question, maybe tangents left unexplored. I'm reminded of Richard Dawkins, another influential mind whose work is exhaustive and unyielding. In forums, he gets a lot of softballs, and questions any Biology major could answer...but some of his most interesting answers...at least the ones that get a million views on youtube...are along the lines of "What if you are wrong?" Questioning hypergamy is a lot like questioning evolution...it's there, we have the proof. I'm sure Rollo's logic has been refined by Blue Pill apologists just as relentlessly as Dawkins' has by fundamentalist Christians though.

The similarity may end there though...Dawkins has been divorced three times, maybe he should read the manosphere as much as the manosphere reads him.

TheFamilyAlpha · 2016-09-14T16:21:27+00:00

Do you find that the Unplugging of married men will lead to a new 'class' of Masculine dudes?

I find myself pushing this concept that married dudes don't have to be dadbod cucks, yet the notion of a married man laying game, dread, having constant awesome sex, & being aware of the female imperative is entirely new.

GargantuaBlarg29 · 2016-09-15T15:34:21+00:00

In your book, you write multiple times about counseling men, some of the mindset "If she'd just tell me what I have to do to make her love me I'd do it". However, in your blogs you also are of the opinion that some men are just too ingrained in the matrix, or living a relatively happy life that introducing them to red pill concepts would do more harm than good.

My questions are 1) Do you have some kind of framework for deciding 'yes this man may be a good candidate to begin guiding to red pill ideas' or 'no, it is likely best to let sleeping dogs lie here and take a different approach'?

And 2) If you decide to start guiding them to red pill conclusions, is there a certain topic you have found that men are more receptive to, which best paves the way for continued discussion?

onmyownpath · 2016-09-12T04:32:57+00:00

Hey that's great. Thanks for setting this up. Good stuff.

RP_SuitScholar · 2016-09-12T12:52:10+00:00

Awesome. Well done.

SampsonBrass · 2016-09-12T12:56:53+00:00

Major coup right there. Nice.

Pinelero · 2016-09-13T13:50:18+00:00

Props to yuz guyz for setting this up.

IASGame · 2016-09-27T22:06:58+00:00

Here are some questions that I think Rollo hasn't addressed and that I am interested

For men in bad LTRs, a fairly ubiquitous RP suggestion (even in MRP) is "NEXT". For men in bad marriages, "NEXT" is not nearly as ubiquitous due to "divorce rape", but isn't that essentially a sunken cost fallacy, at least for those without kids?
What do you think of Married Red Pill (the concept and the reddit), or in general of particularizing Red Pill to LTRs and Marriage? Some say "Game is Game", to what extent do you think being married changes things?
ONEitis is a PUA/RP concept that is usually reserved for women that men want to have sex/relationships with. What do you think of it as a generalised concept when applied to more general concepts, such as jobs/careers, or certain family members?

Relevant RM posts are... https://therationalmale.com/2011/08/30/there-is-no-one/ https://therationalmale.com/2016/03/07/ghosting/ https://therationalmale.com/2012/01/19/next/

My question 2 is kind of a more general version of question 1, and is similar in some ways to BPP's question, and also touches on big debates that have been going on in Rollo's comment section.

Pinelero · 2016-09-28T10:37:44+00:00

A question was asked about bringing sons into RP praxeology, but I have daughters. Most of RP may come intuitively or instinctively to them, but countering the excesses or negative impacts of open hypergamy may not in this culture. How is it to best explain these dynamics and to what extent?

My goal as a father is to be out for their best interest as females and to provide advice pertinent to their sex. I read the RPW sites to try to understand how RP is enacted by the ladies, but I am looking for more direct/overt advice, as I don't understand what is not being said on their sites sometimes. I want my girls to be happy and safe, to be educated and successful women, and to be married with a stable family (not poly) giving me grandchildren.

Persaeus · 2016-09-28T15:03:51+00:00

Guys often victim puke on MRP that "I was alpha in my youth, and then slowly went beta in marriage". I have read your definition of alpha in RM1; fully agree with it and have personally known several "alpha buddas" in my life. We (generalizing MRP) normally retort to the "victim", no you were never alpha and this is true in many cases. However, IMO a lot of "young alphas" fail to make the transition to "adult alphas". Do you agree with this; and to what do you ascribe the failure in maturation?

don_pel · 2016-09-30T18:27:41+00:00

Hi Rollo, thank you for your service. I think you have children. What are your thoughts on raising a boy in today's society? As much as we must lead by example, the fact is that they end up spending way too much time with bad examples that might give them wrong ideas. If such is the case, Do you think one should make him overtly aware of the red pill or guide them covertly and let them learn from their mistakes? Thanks again from South America!
