The bottom line is that a lot of the truths in the book are so brutal for many men that their natural reaction is to be angry. The reality is that this reaction is on them, not the Rational Male. The Reality is that some men read the book and then by their own choice decided for example, that “women hate them” and think that they should be angry because of this imaginary “conspiracy” against them. Men should be mature and responsible enough to read a book and take value from it and be responsible for their own actions and thoughts.īut the whole idea that the Rational Male created thousands of angry men is false. The victim game!In other words, men reading a book, don't like the content, make stupid life decisions, and then blame a book or artist. This brings me back to a common problem in the modern world. The criticism of art and books are normal, but the extend to which this has been done in this case is ridiculous. He creates his work and people are free to take from it what they want. He never told anybody how to live their lives or to be angry at women. He never claimed to be a dating Guru or coach. He created his work and put it out there. Rollo Tomassi is an artist and social scientist. The people who attack Rollo Tomassi for the Rational Male. There are various authors, entrepreneurs, and influencers that I follow online and have learned from.įor example, I think Rollo Tomassi is a smart guy and I learned a lot from him.ĭo I agree with him about everything? No!īut I have found a lot of value from his books and he brought a unique perspective about women, dating, relationships, and the world in general.Īnd this brings me back to all the critics. Speaking for myself I can say the following about this:

The manosphere is a term popularized in pop culture for various groups of men that somehow got grouped together to make it seem like everyone was on the same page. In various men's communities, the book has been popular.Īnd in others, it's been criticized by men who didn't like their whole worldview being ripped apart.Įven men who read the Rational Male and benefited have criticised the book for being “anti-women” or for making men “angry”.įirstly I'm not part of any men's community or manosphere. In fact, the whole series of Rational Male books have been very good. One of the most impactful books I have read over the last few years when it comes to dating and relationships has been the Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi.
