Since 2011 Rollo has been the essayist/blogger/owner of The Rational Male blog. He is the host of his own YouTube channel, The Rational Male and a rotating host/panelist of Rule Zero, a weekly men's issues show.

Rollo lives with his wife of 25 years in Reno, Nevada, along with two (or more) greyhounds.

Every man should read this book and it should be made a mandatory read for every adolescent boy as they are getting ready to "go out" into the world of adults.
Both genders would benefit exponentially if this was made required reading for aspiring young men; particularly those in their formative years.
The trajectory of western society as a whole, has long since reached critical mass. Without rational, firm, and resolute direction, the death of the empire is assured.
This book was written to awaken YOU to the sad state of affairs, while simultaneously giving you back the keys to your own power which has been usurped before your birth.
A better way to understand the problems of over feminized western culture can be summed up in 3 words:
Follow the Follower.
Unplug from the schizo feminized control matrix!
Claim your power!
Claim your birthright.
Lead others!
Do the dirty work!
The advantages are already inherent within you as a Man! You were born, accorded with great power, it is a judicious power. Cultivate it..
This book teaches you how to see the world the way it truly is, and how to carve out a better life in it.
Forget that old adage: "Happy Wife Happy Life". Its a crock of Sh.. Every wife subconsciously resents this, because they themselves don't want to take on masculine roles, and that very same jingle (which was created by the feminine social structure) embellished it, as if it were part of the all important codicils of success, when in fact it is the contract of failure and resentment.
Get on this train, check your ego and prior assumptions at the gate, learn how to be a positive masculine role model, or as in my experience and reputation, be a "Man's man".
I don't claim to be the best on the scene either, partly because of my unlimited capacity to learn and improve, but backsliding is not part of the equation once you take the red pill in life.
This book will teach you the dynamic of playing to your strengths, but more importantly it will give you insight into an area that has seldom been explored, or seriously contemplated to date: How the feminine, thinks, and operates, how it functions and interacts at its social and psychological root.
Be the man YOU were born to be!
Women will clamor overtly, while swooning covertly, because this is what the feminine truly wants, yet very few women will admit this, often not even to themselves.
This is a well written book, very informative, very humorous, especially since the humor is couched in the vehicle of facts and empirical evidence.
Well worth the read!
I have been riveted by reading The Rational Male and it made me feel immensely validated as a man. I wish this were available for me to read when I was 18, but better late than never. Nonetheless, it could have made a real positive difference with the sequence of events in my adult life between dating, fornicating, marriage and divorce.
This book is a collection of blog posts from Rollo’s website under the same name. Some are shorter than others, but most of them are a pleasure to read because of Rollo’s unique way of expressing himself. These essays convey valuable insight pertaining to a myriad of topics like feminism, masculinity, sex, and dating women to name a few.
Please read the negative reviews to understand that there’s a common beta(AFC) theme present in so many of them. The negative reviews are hilariously and sadly relevant to this book. It’s humorously convenient how the offense taken by many of the low review AFCs are indeed men who can’t stomach the enlightening perspectives that Rollo is waking men up to.
It’s fascinating to see how many of those same negative reviews dismiss this book as merely misogynistic which it is definitely not. To say such a thing is to be a pie in the face of truth. These men demonstrate the unrelenting feminine schema that has infected them(us). The more these AFCs doth protest, the more they substantiate the remarkable reality of these things. This is the whole point of reading the book! To wake up from your feminine imposed slumber! It’s to inform yourself of these uncomfortable truths! Ideally, I think that men and women are not meant to be, nor should they be pitted against one another, but instead should exist to compliment one another in a state of beautiful harmony.
So, read the negative reviews to see how AFC men paradoxically whine and simultaneously love those oppressive feminine chains! Why would I want to live in a paradox of contradictory messages? Knowing that I'm "not crazy" is like throwing a ton of burden off of my shoulders. Why wouldn't I want to alleviate such stress?
This book was WELL worth the money spent on it. This is an excellent value for the expenditure versus the time reading it.
You must have a truly open mind for these essays though. No wonder the "red pill" is oft referred to as a Matrix metaphor, because short of amnesia, brain damage or Alzheimers, you can't go back to not knowing once you learn something, and these are heavy ideas to digest. If you’re not comfortable with introspection and being honest about society, this book probably isn’t for you. However, if you want to grow to be a better man, then you may have just stumbled upon something truly great for you.
Don’t read it if you don’t want to change.
Just one simple gripe, there are many editing issues and typos in this book. Considering the value of the content, I think a revision should include a substantial list of corrections.

Approach this book with an open mind if need be, but it makes complete sense to me and is a fascinating insight in to female psychology and manipulation tactics amongst other things.
Also if you have never had a present father or strong, masculine male role models in your life this book is even more necessary for you.
In order to not fail in your relationship you must know the rules of intersexual dynamics in order to manipulate them so to become a desireable man to your wife; this will also have the effect of increasing your status as a pawn in the game of society.
This book will teach you the basics of intersexual dynamics, which in turn is one great pillar of the good life.
I heard about the dude of some red pill podcast talking about Hypergamy, I bought the book without much context of what was inside.
I already read the Game by Neil Strauss and was pretty aware about Game, but not much.
The beginning of the book feels like some intellectual aerobics by a salty, yet very smart, man. There are some key interesting points still.
As the book goes on and on, you understand piece by piece the real reasoning and it gets really interesting if you are open minded.
As the book ends it became a real nightmare to get through it. Each new chapter was a big (postive yet very painful) slap in the face that related to past experiences I had. It goes deep, like talking about childhood trauma deep.
In the end this book really moved me in inconfortable ways. I am much more aware about what is happening around me on a daily basis, without even talking about Game.
What I found the most surprising is that the author is clearly "red pilled" but also avoids very nicely to be misogynistic by always offering, not justification, but clear explanations.
