I wanted to make a brief announcement here that I have created a new page for all the interviews I’ve been doing recently. It was getting a bit cluttered to keep publishing a new post after every new podcast so I’m now collecting them all on a new page ‘Interviews’ you’ll see at the top of the blog now.
While I’ve always had interviews in my categories this just makes things easier. I also wanted to announce that I’m going to be doing a ‘Red Pill All Stars’ live stream with Anthony Johnson and some selected men I interact with in the manosphere every other week for the foreseeable future so this page will hold all of these shows too. We don’t have a title for this venture just yet so if you have a good idea please leave it in the comments here. I have no plans for a formal YouTube channel as yet. I might reconsider this and start one in the future, but as it stands now I’m doing so many interviews and talks I may as well have a channel. I know there are some guys who make a habit of doing live Periscope streams from their cars to get their thoughts collected about various Red Pill topics – I hereby reserve the right to occasionally do this too.
Pat Campbell and AM1170
I’m also doing weekly live radio (actual terrestrial radio) with talk radio personality Pat Campbell now too. It’s a really fun hour, but you’ll have to check my Twitter feed for the days I’m on, since he can sometimes call me the night before to go on the next morning. It’s fast becoming a really popular segment and there’s a possibility his show might go national, so give us a listen. His station was kind enough to create a dedicated archive for my segments and I’ve put a dedicated link in the side bar now too. If you want to listen live while I’m on, on the days I do the segment we go for an hour and usually it starts at 9AM EST – 6AM PST. You can listen to the live stream here when I’m on.
While Pat is my main man, I’m also considering the possibility of doing more live radio (I’ll be on with Jesse Lee Peterson this Wednesday) with other hosts in the future, as well as talking with some other e-celebrity personalities – stay tuned!
21 Convention Talks
I’ve had Anthony Johnson make my first 21 Convention talk available for free on 21 University now. You can watch the first talk above here or go to the YouTube channel, watch there and join in the comments there. Thus far it’s been very well received and the views have been great. I should also mention that this is my first in-person video I’ve ever done so I want to also open up the comments here to get my regular readers opinions about my doing this. What can I do better, what do you like about it (besides it now being free)? I’m still encouraging men to sign up for a membership using my link on the sidebar, but this video is now free for all to watch. My second talk was a roundtable format and covered a variety of topics regarding Positive Masculinity. This video will be available to members only, but I may also petition for a free version as well.
While I’m not in any way ‘officially’ partnered with the ‘New and improved Red Pill version’ of the 21 University organizers I do have some ideas I may run past them in the future (yes, I’ll be doing the 2018 21 Convention this year too). If you have ideas or anything to say about this I’m all ears too. As all my readers know, from a Red Pill perspective I’m first and foremost a writer and this blog and my books are always the primary way I organize and put forth my ideas. That said, I’m entertaining the idea of starting a small TRM forum this year, though I don’t want it to become something that gets so unmanageable that it demands attention away from my writing. This is another idea I’m looking for input on.
Finally, I’m going to be 50 years old on April 2nd this year. I’ll be publishing a kind of memoir / introspective essay when that event occurs, but for this post I wanted to say that this milestone in my life has prompted me to take assessment of what I’d like to do with my remaining years and how important this community has become in those plans. It should go without saying that I have every intention to keep doing what I do, but I’m deciding where I want to go with life and my ‘day job’ work and how I want to proceed from here. I’m factoring a lot of things into this evaluation that I’ve never really considered before and I’d like to ask you all for your input and assessments too.

@Rollo:
The rational males
would work as a title for your new thing, if you don’t mind tying the brand in with it (and the other men don’t mind being tied to the brand).
@Rollo:
TRM Forum would be great. Having the possibility to PM other posters here without needing to use a workaround like Reddit or Blackdragon’s community would be very useful.
It could also provide a natural fix to some of the issues with the Field Reports section, although I’d like to have the main posters in that section chime in if they would also be up to continue posting in a forum format. Of course in a forum we can also have a long-running “Field Reports” thread where everyone posts sequentially, to emulate the current format.
Happy birthday, Rollo. I recently turned 50 myself. didn’t discover the red pill until about 3 years ago. I have gained a great deal of insight, confidence, and the will to make changes in a large part due to your site. thank you.
Titles and tags are everything if you work red pill in there somehow you’ll get views. Just be careful because YouTube is trying to make people pay to post anything outside of blue pill mentality.
Well done. I recently turned 50 and up to that point had never thought of it as a “milestone”. It is a pivotal point in one’s life. Without discovering Game and the Red Pill i think i would have been completely lost and confused. The Red Pill provided a re-birth or re-boot of sorts so that when I did turn 50 it wasn’t the big deal that much of society wants to make it. The Groucho Marx chestnut: “You’re only as old as the woman you feel” has become a mantra of sorts. But as I look back on what… Read more »

Rollo do something you have never done before but always wanted to do.
Rollo, if you find more purpose moving in the direction of your Red Pill work and your “day job” isn’t really cutting it (at least that’s what it seems like to me) then by all means, do that! Like you’ve told all of us though through out our time together, you get to figure it out. Whatever you decide, it’ll work and it will be awesome. I for one am really interested in the YouTube channel idea, that would be neat and another great way to get the message out there.

I think a forum discussing field reports would be beneficial.
I miss the days of good field reports. You can always learn something from them regardless of your game level.

“The Red Pill Monthly” was a promising nascent series, was proposed to discuss an Iron Rule monthly (like the one on Frame) — whatever happened to Niko?
This work definitely making an impact – here and there across contemporary news will see these concepts convincingly presented in discussion sections. It is going mainstream. Everywhere men are Waking Up and throwing off the yoke.
@rollo I discovered your blog right after separating from my ex wife of 27 years. You helped me to understand the true nature of women after 50+ years of living. It’s like the blinders came off and I can finally see the world and women as they really are. It was a pleasure and an honor to meet and talk with you at the 21 convention. I was the older white haired guy with the goatee speaking with you at the buffet at Socrates place. Looking forward to your upcoming memoir. I think it’s very helpful when you share real… Read more »
Rollo, I am too young to give you advice, but approaching 30 myself I totally get the symbolism of turning 50. Like others have suggested, now might be the time to do that stuff that you might have been postponing.
Thanks again for your work.
TRM has helped put a lifetime of ups and downs in context for me and show the way forward — but I most sorely needed it 35 or 40 years ago, so you needed to start writing it in fourth grade. Mozart penned his first symphony at age 8, you know.
Anyway, all the best, keep up the great work. The decline and death of parents can be a heartbreaking challenge for people in their 50s, but otherwise it can be a very fruitful decade.
@Rollo, your body of work has been very inspirational and interesting. Our generation sat around while men and our society was blind-sided by unchecked hypergamy, so it’s also our generations responsibility to save those that men that want to be saved and are searching for some meaning that is as of yet unresolved.
Rollo, one idea to expand your Red Pill reach might be to partner with other people to author new books based on your ideas. You’ve stayed away from a prescription approach, so that you can reach the widest audience, and foster individual thought. That was definitely the right approach. Now may be the time to think about partnering with several other authors to write prescription-style guides based on different life events and/or times of life. Different men could write a guide to unplugging, guides to navigating your 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s, guides to divorce, guides to the corporate… Read more »

March 5, 2018 at 5:13 pm
Marriage is for children. That said – to make it work she has to have ONE-itis for you. With that and Game you are 40% there. The other 60% is luck and effort.
May the Force Be With You.
To prove her ONE-itis. You must shit test her extensively.
I was just pointing out to the LTR a few minutes ago that she wants me with every fiber in her body (down to the tip of her little toe) and the more she gives into that the happier she is. She shook her head YES.
Rollo,
You have done lots of posts on her shit testing of you (in the generic sense). Have you done anything on your shit testing of her?
What should guys be testing for?
“You have done lots of posts on her shit testing of you (in the generic sense). Have you done anything on your shit testing of her? What should guys be testing for?” Guys should be demonstrating, not explicating. “Testing her” is crouched in a defensive position. Good question M. Simon. It’s not a zero sum game. Guys test women by teasing them, mostly in response to their provocations. And by using the TakeAway. https://therationalmale.com/2012/04/23/relationship-game-wife-sex/ And if there is anything that Rollo has thematically addressed in regards to backhandedly shit testing her, there is a consistent theme of Soft Dread. https://therationalmale.com/2013/05/13/soft-dread/… Read more »
The Donovan Sharpe Interview was very cohesive and sharp edged.
Great job Rollo.
There is ultimate ability for Married Red Pill men to have agency. Still only likely for the Pareto distribution of men, but all men should strive toward being in the top 20%.

Over the weekend I visited a friend in hospital who had become suicidal when his wife went feral on him. When I gave him a tiny piece of Rollo on relational equity I saw his face light up like a fucking chrimas tree. hahahaaaa… Priceless. He called me back the next day sounding quite rejuvinated.

Rollo, as great a resource as this website is and has been, the specificity of the subject matter limits any true exploration of the ideas presented here. We’re all aware of political, social, cultural and academic influences that underpin the common themes we discuss here. But apart from the odd comment they’re never really addressed in any great depth. Which leads to a forlorn hope they might be. Men’s interests cover a broad range of disciplines. These filter into their various other interests they have, which in turn informs opinions and understanding. Shouldn’t The Rational Male forum encompass all of… Read more »

@ Rollo
I enjoyed the hell out of the Donovan interview. I saw it was 90 minutes, and figured I’d have to listen in parts, but once I started listening I couldn’t stop. 90 minutes straight and it felt like 15 minutes.
Looks like your hitting your stride. You sound so relaxed and on point. Personally, I dig the one on one interviews you do as opposed to a multi-roundtable type deal, because you get a lot of uninterrupted content out, and it’s all great stuff.
So kudos once again. This is very cool to witness in real time.
@Rollo I think that, for me, the single best thing you could do next is to move the comments sections into a true prebuilt web forum that groups the discussions in threads and allows complex searches and easy text entry and formatting. I would also be willing to contribute some time to converting old discussion comments into threads for easier searching and reference. The real graduate level learning and internalizing of your concepts all takes place in the comments section. You already have key readers and posters who would make ideal moderators, so you would not likely be adding to… Read more »
From j’s linked tweet … “the father (here, the State) will always take the side of his daughters over his sons, no matter if the daughters instigated or amplified the conflict; sons are always unduly punished ” This emphasizes something I have noticed lately.

They may be hard working, no nonsense in the personal life, but spoiling their daughters … well that’s just the way it is. In male spaces, they most likely will even… Read more »

Your work is Great. Thanks.

True dat… I’m tough on my daughters, and they love it. yeah they try and push things – surprise? But I’m steadfast.

I started listening to the Donovan Sharpe interview in the car on the way home from work and I’ve just finished it. Donovan approaches interviews in the same manner as the late great Sir David Frost. He puts his guest at their ease and allows them the time and space for exposition.
A great interview, as always Rollo.
Watched/listened to the Donovan tube;.. Good stuff. The wife making more $ bit resonated with me as my wife is easily making 2X mine. Hypergamy is not all about the $ on the paycheck. My wife’s co-workers are almost all female with a male boss. Her boss is a big feminist and a wuss. I met him once and AMOG’d him unintentially just by talking to him, and I mock him at home, because he’s “fighting the patriarchy” and probably a pink pussy hat wearer.

Rollo, just watched your interview with Donovan Sharpe, very articulate, great points.
I hired an older man that was red pilled the hard way after great sacrifice having no relational equity. He would say that many marriages don’t survive the building of a home, this is the dream nest.
After much study it would appear that the man has earned the money another way and is out of his element in the construction. Being blue pilled he shares his misgivings with his wife and she hypergams toward the more situational alpha contractor. This problem compounds itself exponentially.
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio is urging the Trump administration’s Departments of Justice and Education to revise the Obama-era school discipline policy that discourages school districts from reporting threats to law enforcement in the name of social justice for minority students.
Legacy of Obama–school shootings…Nicky Cruz should have been reported to the police before he went on a rampage.

@ Status Confimed
I agree – it would be most beneficial if Rollo could write books on how to approach the different age range groups of woman from a Red Pill perspective. For instance, in my situation, I can find info on how to introduce red pill concepts into a long term marriage (in my case 15 years+) and things I should be doing at my age (50+), but nothing on how the Red Pill a woman going through Menopause….

He has. He wrote in one of his books about each hypergamy stage of a woman’s life and how they live that stage sexually.
@drsmith What issues are you having in Red Pill as it relates to menopause? Tell us about yourself. What do you need to do for yourself? Rollo wrote the following essay on that phase of a woman’s life in The Rational Male Preventative medicine. and he admitted as much that he didn’t, nor could he be prescriptive. Rollo wrote: I also understand that while I can provide this outline, it doesn’t really go in depth into how a man might use this knowledge to his best advantage with a particular woman. However, my hope is that it will put certain… Read more »
Cruz was reported to the police. Do yourself a huge favor and act like an adult man. Stop looking at one ” type ” of source for news etc. It makes you sound uniformed and not too bright.
Police couldn’t do anything re: Cruz because he had broken no law ( until the shooting ). Pay closer attention. Your prez wants to have the ability for law enforcement to snatch your gun away without due process.

Rollo – to answer your question, maybe as you turn towards doing other things with your life, you could start a series of one day or two day/weekend seminars to get men up to speed with Red Pill and managing LTR’s and marriages.

So far the LTR has no loss of libido (it seems to have increased if anything), and no vaginal dryness. And she is well past menopause.
Maybe keeping her excited all the time (she complains about that occasionally) has something to do with it. The other “symptoms” were her normal behavior her whole life with me. Although that is starting to change for the better.
Rollo I listened to an interview you did with Craig James about fathers, you mentioned you are starting work on a 4th book on spiritual matters.

Rollo, I’ve really enjoyed and appreciate your interviews. There’s tons of great content there. My favourite are your talks with Anthony Johnson, Rian Stone, Black Label Logic etc. It’s really interesting to hear Red Pill mentors exchange their views and ideas. And I love how funny those interviews are.
I’ve noticed in your interviews that you like to emphasize events and quotes you’d predicted correctly in the past. I’d skip that if I were you, it can get little annoying. Nevertheless thank you so much for those interviews (and all your other work), you’ve helped me tremendously!
