Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes with X’s in my eyes
And drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X’s in my eyes
And drawing flies
And I said “Hey what you yellin’ about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?”
“Hey what you yellin’ about
Sadists’ co-addiction, perfect analogies?”
“Hey what you yellin’ about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?”
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X’s in my eyes
And drawing flies
Hey Rollo. This happened three days ago; A group of people came to my store and I had to give them service. In that group there was a former coworker who I tried to take home once. She was with her guy friends and a girl friend which Ive seen several times with her parents. Now for the fun part, this girl is a lesbian, Ive seen her come in with different other masculine women every now and then. And they show affection etc. This time, She showed IoIs, body language, eye contact, playing with her hair while I took… Read more »
@Orphan, the proper PC term is called Sexual Fluidity (a.k.a. making your necessity a virtue)
https://rationalmale.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/sexual-fluidity/
Rollo, I am in the middle of reading The Rational Male. I am realizing through my own experience in relationships and life in general that your book series is only confirming what I have know all along but have been blind to, my question is: Is it possible for a man and a woman to be actual friends? I have a friend, I love her husband (and her entire family really) but I feel like I am the Plan B. This was the biggest epiphany from reading your books. She fits all of the criteria, I honestly just want to… Read more »
I understood sexual fluidity but this kid is around 19-21. I bet all her straight guy friends are waiting for a change to smash that. There is no need to choose from your own gender when the opposite is available; unless she is trying to stretch her prospects line up.
This stuff has been extraordinarily helpful. Your BPD girl sounds astoundingly similar to mine. If you have a minute I’d like to ask you a bit more about how you went back to developing healthy relationships after you split with her.
Rollo, I’m interested in a p rivate consult. Look forward to hearing from you. Trailblazerdc at gmail dot com
Hi Rollo, need to get in touch with you ASAP about something. Please email me – 3rdmilleniummen@gmail.com
Rollo, I’m interested in a personal consultation over the phone. Please contact me at trailblazerDC at gmail dot com
Rollo,
The last time that WordPress did an update the blogs lost their side bar widget of latest commenters. It’s happened here, as well, and as many people seem to utilize it I thought you would like to know.
Hi Rollo,
I really like your blog and i’m interested to advertise on it..if interested send me a email.
Hi Rollo I have a rather time-sensitive question if you’re so inclined. In short, how do I handle a woman who’s not meeting my relationship standards? In other words, we’re having sex and spending time together, but she doesn’t want take it much farther than that, and maintains a longing for some guy overseas. She views me as a boytoy, and has said as much. If I don’t want to fulfill that role, what can I do? Is telling her to fuck off my only option? Do I ignore her texts? Or is there a way to bend her to… Read more »

Hey Rollo,
A buddy of mine told me to take a look at your blog and I’ve gotta say, there’s quite a bit here. Congratulations on all of the success. If possible, could you recommend one or two articles/ blog posts which concisely summarize your theory?
Thanks,
Micahel
@Michael, this post is a good summation of my overall philosophies:
https://rationalmale.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/year-one/
It contains links to all of the primary ideas I promote.
To Rollo I have a lot of appreciation for this blog and have been reading it for a while. I would like to ask or consult you about two things. I’ve been snooping round the blog and still haven’t found anything concrete to do with flaking, and the reasons behind it as well as the different forms of it. I’ve had some bizarre experiences with it, so I was wondering if you could forward me something about that? I also have something else I would like to consult you about but I would prefer to do so via email if… Read more »
Rollo,
Props on the great blog, its been incredibly valuable to me, as have your Iron Rules from Sosuave. Would really like to have a consult with you and also you a couple questions career questions.

Thx bro!
I got into it with a female friend the other day about gas lighting and I had a realisation about how it conforms to the fem-centric ideal… The logic goes like this; 1 – A women doesn’t like something you do… 2 – You tell her to stop being paranoid/crazy/stupid… 3 – She thinks you are deliberately gaslighting her because she feels you were doing something to upset her… (and here’s the key) 4 – If you don’t agree with her, then you must be gaslighting her because she is made to doubt the validity of what she saw… 5… Read more »

Can you send me an email address where I can submit a confidential field report?? … much appreciated.. thanx
Hey. I can’t believe the manosphere hasn’t yet discovered the French philosopher Jean Baurdillard. He wrote articles and books in the 80s that would make any manosphere post or article from this year seem shallow and banal. His theories go beyond anything I have read on the subject. Would be incredible to see your take on him, Rollo. Don’t be put off by Baudrillard being called a leftist thinker, he is not, but neither is he rightwing. He has largely been ignored and ridiculed by academia for his writings on feminism, and what makes him so interesting is that you… Read more »
Wow. Stumbled here a month or so ago, a friend on FB shared a post on chivalry. I think I’ve devoured the whole manosphere since then. So much of this clicked in place with the observations of my 48 years of living. Working on married game, I have a five year old daughter that deserves two happy parents. Baby steps, for both of us, I was raised straight up hippy feminist beta by an unhaaaapy divorced mom who shamed my dad in my presence and surrounded me with hippy effetes and gay men and replacement daddies along the way. Just… Read more »
Rollo, I recently read Swoon: Great Seducers and Why Women Love Them by Betsy Prioleau. Detailed studies of popular ladies’ men. And much of it seems at odds with Game. For example, these men might be more likely to run after a girl and say “I had to meet you!” and wear their desire on their sleeves rather than be aloof. That’s just one example. You might find it an interesting read. And I would be very interested in your thoughts on it.
I like “Rational Male” better than “The Rational Male”. Rational Male implies a grander encompassing state, philosophy, way of thinking, etc.. The Rational Male sounds smaller, as though it’s referring to a specific person.
Hi Rollo,
I would appreciate your thoughts on some aspects of male psychology. Could you send me an email? Thank you.
Rollo,
Thanks for what you put into this. Would it be possible to contact you via email?
Amazing blog and insight. Is there a chance I can buy a 30 minute phone call of you?
You don’t have to buy anything. PM me on the sosuave forum with your number and I’ll call you.
Solid. You are a good alpha. I’ve just created an account with the username Guruapp and I’ll message you now
By the way the reply has come under a different account but thats still me

Rollo,
I have more questions about the Mid-Life Crisis that I wanted to ask. My email is included here, so please send me a personal message.

Rollo, I knew about your blog from Krauser’s interview on London Real but only about 5 days before I read it. Needless to say, along with Krauser’s and Heartiste’s Blog, various other forums and a few books, it have given quite an enlightened perspective. I have been studying game for about one and a half years now, but financial and residency conditions have inhibited me to implement it. If you do entertain such requests, I’d like to mail you my past, how The Game changed my mindset, a lose plan to cultivate my identity over the next decade (I am… Read more »
Hey Rollo,
I’ve been reading your writings for a while now, and it’s been a huge help.
One suggestion; can you make your search box more visible. I often find myself going through old articles but accidentally type into the subscription box.
Thanks to you and others, I’m paying it forward.
Regards,
redpilluser
Major props for the usage of Soundgarden here, brother.
Dear Rollo, I’ve been reading your articles for quite some time now, and have never been disappointed. I truly do appreciate the contributions you’ve made to the manosphere. I started – as early as I can remember – at the No Ma’am blog… which I believe has now become Fedrz’s Blog (or something like that). I don’t even know what initially led me there – perhaps a Wiki-walk. It doesn’t really matter. What I wanted to say is that I am a MGHOW, and I have a blog of my own at emperorlubu.com – in which I’ve mentioned your work… Read more »
Rollo, I don’t know any other way to contact you so I’m posting here. I am going to be self-publishing a red pill marriage guide later this week and I was hoping you would give me permission to include your now-ubiquitous SMV chart in my chapter about the sexual marketplace. The chart is fully referenced to your site and I also included your website in the list of resources at the back of the book.
Thanks.
I wouldn’t hold your breath, Don.
Rollo doesn’t seem to check his “About” comments as frequently as he used to.
I haven’t even heard back from him, and it’s been nearly two WEEKS since I wrote the comment prior to yours.
Sorry guys, busy with the book. Yes Don, feel free to use the chart.
@Emperor, you can now email me at rollotomassi@charter.net or you can always twitter me.
Rollo: I’m writing here,a short reply,just to thank you. I started reading about the Red Pill related stuff here,in your blog.After that,well,i started to browse the sosuave forum,return of kings,and so on. And man…did it change my life.I am a 20 years old man,who is still changing from a pathetic AFC to an awoken man.It is hard,but i am already seeing the rewards,the most important being able to have some respect for me,have a sense of worth…and yes,getting laid. You have made me a better man,and for that there is not enough space in this box to write a sincere… Read more »
Rollo i really need some advice and some help putting a current situation into perspective. My mom got divorced for the 3rd time earlier this year. Her whole family turned their back on her and sided with her ex, which left her with basically no support system. I’m 25, she’s 48. I live with my younger brother and a mutual friend in a 4 bed. We all begrudgingly agreed to house her for a few months, but that was 8 months ago. My problem is basically that she can’t understand our contribution and our sacrifices for her. We’ve done everything… Read more »
Hi Rollo,
It would be much appreciated if you could hit me up with an email. I would like to ask your advice regarding a particular issue.

I wanted you to hear this from me first, Rollo.
Understand that I have nothing but respect for your personal fight. Western marriage is precarious even in the BEST of situations (which I’ll go ahead and assume you have), so I can sympathize with your plight.
I still think you’re one of the great voices out there in the manosphere.
I hope you can appreciate that.

Hi Rollo. I’ve got a situation that could benefit from your outstanding rational insight. I guarantee you’ll find it interesting and fodder for new posts–red pill reality requires men to have good strategies in this category, I haven’t seen it covered well anywhere, and you are the right person to address it. I’d love a consult in whatever form it can work for you, e.g., phone, email, whatever. I’d be happy to compensate you for your time.
Hi Rollo,
Im relatively new to this blog, Ive just finished reading ‘Best of Year 1’ … eye opening to say the least.
I wanted to bring this article to your attention and to get your take on it. Feminism gone mad or an isolated incident?

Hey Rollo-
Long time reader, have the book already. I was wondering if you could drop me a line-I have a question/problem that was wanting to send to you via email. Thanks,
Mike
Hey Rollo.. Would you please let me know about consults?
Hey,
I would really like a consult. stevernator@gmail.com Thanks
Hey Rollo, Just finished reading The Rational Male. Found it fascinating, though still lost on a lot of references made. For instance, is there a good, concise definition of Red Pill vs. Blue Pill. I get a sense of it, but haven’t found the spot where it is actually defined. I also had some epiphanies. Wife and I have always had a good sex life, but suddenly this summer she just got wet all the time. Wasn’t till I read the book and hit one spot (don’t remember exactly where mentioned), that I realized she turned on that way after… Read more »
I found some interesting numbers on marriage ages that may have some correlation to your SMV chart. Median marriage ages In 1890 the median age for a man to marry was 26. But what was the median age that most men started working in 1890? Most men didn’t even graduate high school in 1890 (few careers required a high school education). I would ballpark the median age most men then started working to be around 16. Which means by 26, most men had been working at least a decade–establishing their career and building up their income and status. You could… Read more »
I was intrigued by your blog post on feminity and it’s facade of mystique and comments that related it to Greene’s 48 Laws of Power (apparent weakness, morality, and irrationality as a guise to the cold and calculating ways of traditional womenfolk). I know this all too well from the way the matriarchs in my family manipulate the men dogs. Interesting and thoughtful look at how genders really interact. I’ll be back for more!
Rollo, I have e-mailed you tonight hoping for a consult. I know you are busy – even one reply would be greatly appreciated.
I’ll check you in the morning Alpha
Rollo, I’ve been reading a lot of your posts in the last few weeks… I am really enjoying them and most of the ideas you’ve presented are enlightening. I am a little confused how I should go about figuring out if a particular woman would be LTR/marriage material. Since women love opportunistically I’m not too sure what to do with this information… I am aware of it and won’t fall prey to someone trying to take advantage of me. Should I also love opportunistically? I feel like even if I tried it wouldn’t be satisfying… I guess I’m not entirely… Read more »
Rollo,
You are a genius
My smoking hot ex told me about your blog. Actually, he claimed credit for some of your best work. He’s one of my favorite Alphas. Always fun and living by the letter of the alpha law. It’s cute.
I love your concepts and love reading your blog. Keep up the great work!
– Kristen
Tell him he’s welcome.
Rollo, Thanks for the blog. You really should check out a paper written by Janet Yellen’s (Federal Reserve Chairswoman who replaced Ben Bernanke) Nobel Prize winning husband. It is on the inevitable collapse of markets that “lemons” are allowed to exist due to asymmetric information between sellers and buyers. It is an absolute gem by one of the most famous economists alive today.
Rollo, I will be reading your latest series with interest. Meanwhile, have a look at this. All the best.
There was a time I would have fallen for the sentiments in this article… Thanks to your blog, I can see it for what it is… cheers Rollo.

Forest: I want to first say thank you to Rollo for such a wonderful blog. Though I had scanned articles here and there for a few months, I took the time to systematically read Year 1 of The Rational Male last night (along with most of the comments) – literally for more than eight hours straight, I couldn’t sleep, it was so insightful and engaging – and then finished with Year 2 during the day today after a nap. Of the “Trinity” of the manosphere, I find Rollo to be the most clear, systematic, and philosophical of the three Ros:… Read more »
Superb blog. Thank you so much for the insights. Finding it really helpful. Would be most grateful for an article specifically about how men of age 40 and above might game women of age 18~23. Talk about some examples and case studies. For example, online dating is very difficult for men over 39 if they are aiming to meet women of age 18~23, and we’re not into going to clubs anymore either. So, we’re left with daygame, bars that cater to a wider age range, social circle game or putting ourselves in other situations where we might meet very young… Read more »
Rollo, can you a post on the recent Christy Mack assault story ? since she does porn, has a high SMV and has what many would say is an Alpha boyfriend; I am interested in any commentary you could provide in terms of hypergamy or Alpha/ Beta, or Dread dynamics. Thanks.
I’m curious about your opinion of this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elloa-atkinson/i-love-my-husband-but-heres-why-i-want-to-cheat_b_5909882.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592
My eyes did indeed hurt, but they feel much better now. Thanks.
Hi guys,
I found the blog some time ago on Reddit and bookmarked it.
How should I approach the reading? Are there some introductory articles? Or, I’m guessing: start with year one, two and so on.
Start with Best of Year One, it’s at the top of the page

Check out the straight alphaness of an unexpected character. Russell Brand straight up calls out that news woman’s hypergamist nature taking over.
Rollo would be curious how race affects everything. asian men, can scale up in value (career, wealth, prestige) in a still white dominated society which is “beta bux” yet practically alpha fux is a more white American construct. Obviously still applied to other countries but how it manifests is quite different. And do you find certain advantages (disadvantages) highlighted when a minority makes conscious changes to lifestyle/game: For instance asian man getting ripped = highly potent way to fuck white women (sometimes more attractive than white) Black man in high powered law/business position = unique and dominant Etc Any thoughts… Read more »
Rollo, with your situation so good via your knowledge, its awesome that your have the internet MEDIUM to help guys.
And Christian of you to help
I was gonna off myself, and I found your blog, it makes me sad, but everything you’ve written has shown personal anecdotal evidence. I love it, I’m sad to be cleansing myself of my AFC mindset, but it feels so good. The hardest part to accept is that I can never expect love like I think it should be, but this seems to be the biggest thing to remind myself
Hi,
I’d be interested in what you think about this post I saw on fb today. Maybe make an article out of it? I noticed that it was usulally the less good looking women walking through the beautiful door and the prettier women walking through the average door.

Your thoughts on this? … It’s funny that this woman is exactly what you describe in your blog…a social misfit, that is past her prime and ever so insecure…also terrified of taking care or herself financially like a man despite living in western society…. Please chime in…Your insights are always appreciated.
Hi Rollo, long time reader (and owner of your first paperback) here. I am starting a blog to translate some game advice and would love to translate some of your articles to portuguese (actually translated the first of plate theory series), always giving credit. What do you think of that?
@Daniel, please do. Just link back to the original and credit is all I ask.
Thank you , Rollo. This is how the first one looked: https://ocavalheirocafajeste.wordpress.com/2014/12/21/teoria-dos-pratos/
I also did a short review of your book, here: https://nuvemdegiz.wordpress.com/2014/11/14/5-livros-excelentes-para-os-tempos-atuais/
Excellent! Thanks, I’ll tweet it.
I somehow had forgot to link to the original back in december. Going to put the link now.

Thank you Rollo, you saved my life. In october 2013 I was in a very bad marriage and thinking about suicide. That day I found your blog and that made see the reality (red pill). I perceived my real value in the SMP. In a few months started lifting weights, getting a lot of IOIs and divorced my wife. I was 33 yo and didn’t want my best years wasted in a horrible marriage. I was childless, reasonably well off, had a prenup. No reason to stay in that situation. Learning about the red pill and game brought me a… Read more »

That’s a pretty cool call sign. Commissioner Gordon comes to mind…
The level of cognitive dissonance here is astounding. All of these women are attracted to the muscled guy, most are honest. The ones that aren’t have to rationalize a reason for why they wouldn’t, either by projecting a bias to his motive of personality (without knowing him) or by using another criteria like height to exclude. With the exception of one woman (who is probably a multiple burnt alpha chaser) who stated she didn’t like muscly guys – the majority of the honest women at the beginning are attracted to the (repeatedly stated -> healthy/tanned) muscled guy, the tall guy… Read more »
Rollo,
I’ve noticed a phrase you’ve used several times in various topics that I have trouble getting my mind around.
“To observe a process is to change it.”
Could you explain this out a bit more to exactly what this statement means and how you’re applying it? Or point me to something you’ve written on the subject. I think I’ve read all your stuff, but I haven’t seen this expanded upon.
Hi Rollo. I’m in the middle of Preventive Medicine and I have a few questions for you. Can you email me?

@Rollo Thank you. That’ll be all. An extract from my diary two years ago. I was lying on my bedroom floor on New Year’s Eve crying my eyes out puking my guts up because my ex-girlfriend had just posted pictures of herself on twitter in Las Vegas with some new dude she was fuckin. Looks like our relationship meant a lot. I knew I shouldn’t have looked at it but I just wanted to see a photo of her. So I’m lying there contemplating ending my life and you’re off fucking someone else you met two hours previously. That night… Read more »
Webmaster, I can’t seem to find an email address for you, so I’ll bring this forward here.
Within the RSS feed,
There is no opening Tag with Content. This makes me sad.
It should be The Rational Male
This can cause issues with RSS feed systems and unfortunately results in me missing out on taking my Red Pill from time to time.
Thanks for your time.
Dear Rollo, thank you so much for what you are doing! I have one question though, I was not able to “google” the answer for, so here it is, if you would answer it: Is it possible to switch the frame of the LTR from its original FEM-centric “balance” to a new one or is it defined by its original setup? In other words, is it possible, after a Red Pill awakening, to start gaming the marriage LTR and turn the tables to man’s advantage? I am asking, because I am trying to do exactly that, but the resistance is… Read more »

Hi Rollo,
Got tips for getting into the whisk(e)y business? I’m thinking of switching from a regular office job to applying for a sales position for a new whiskey brand. I know a good deal about whiskey and the industry, but it would be a new role for me.

Here’s your tip, start with a lot of money.
Whisky is a rich man’s sport. If you want to get into spirits, look at exotics, like cachaca and seco. Vodka and classic spirits are hugely over impacted now.

Been talking to a bartender the past few weeks, I usually go with the same friend to her bar. She flirts with me most times and doesn’t say much to him but the last time I was there she almost ignored me and talked to him.

You’re writing saved my life. It brought back the real me before my trauma. I’ve always felt alpha but ptsd won’t allow that. I was wondering, if we are to look at game and hypergamy in comparison to the matrix, would women be agents? Or would they also be capable of swallowing the red pill and accepting reality?
Good to read Rob, especially this morning.
@lodgerob13 “I was wondering, if we are to look at game and hypergamy in comparison to the matrix, would women be agents? Or would they also be capable of swallowing the red pill and accepting reality?” Brother mine life as well. I don’t think so. It takes away it’s effective edge on an evolution stand point. Women could be compared to agents. Yet mostly on territory. Women like trinity are few and when called out can become put in a tough spot. Nothing’s black or white but experience internalized helps a bunch. When trinity says “the matrix has you neo”… Read more »
@rugby11ljh I see your point. However I do know a hand full of women who discuss the way things are with us humans and they seem aware of game on a subconscious level. That’s why it begs to question if there are few that are capable of embracing the truth
Also, trinity has a literal case of ONEitis. Pun intended
Hi RT,
I’m a young guy just out of college and I have a severe sticking point with my post RP-acceptance frame of mind that I can’t overcome.Vague, I know. But I was hoping I could get some help… It would be awesome if would take a few minutes to read an email and let me know what you think.

Rollo, I consider myself as middle aged (59) just leaving a marriage of 36 years. As you’ve said in your post “The bitterness of the Red Pill” I’ve had a real difficult time fully swallowing everything but now after 1 1/2 years I’m pretty much fully converted. I know I can never go back. One thing that would be nice that might help older (or should I say more mature) men would maybe be to issue some warnings to the costs of swallowing the red pill. I’ve paid a dear price for believing the truth and for shedding my blue… Read more »

Rollo, I just finished reading your post called “Casualties.” It’s an eye-opener for me, and it’s really helped me understand how unacceptable it is to believe in something called the ONE. A year ago, my then girlfriend broke up with me, and like so many other men, I believed she was the “ONE” who I was “destined” to marry. I was so wrong, and I too even had thoughts of suicide when she left. In hindsight, it’s glaringly obvious that this false belief and so many others contributed to my complete loss of self-esteem a year ago. I’ve since then… Read more »

I wrote earlier thanking you for all your insights. Can’t thank you enough man! I told you in my last post about having a chat with you.
I do not live in the U.S. I’m currently visiting. It would be an honor to chat with you and interview you about your new book and talk about the insights that I’ve seen in how Hypergamy applies in different contexts/cultures. I’m at California, have heard you live around. Let me know if I can meet you, I’ll be very glad to.
