Kernaussage 1 von 6

What’s in it for me? Learn how men can prioritize their interests in heterosexual relationships.

If you haven’t heard, we’re all plugged into the Matrix.

It really doesn’t matter if we deny it. It’s real, it’s there, and its theorists argue it determines how men and women go on to form and maintain intersexual romantic relationships.

This matrix of female sexual dominion, according to adherents of the Manosphere, has kept society, and men in particular, in the dark for so long we’ve become oblivious to its manipulations.

Whenever men have tried to resist, they’ve been brought back to reason through covert but widely accepted social conventions designed to control the system.

There are, however, a few men who have seen the light and are working hard to bring down the matriarchy.

Like Morpheus in The Matrix, they want you to choose between the blue pill and the red pill.

If you take the blue pill, you can find a woman, fall in love, and go on to live miserably ever after.

Any man who takes the red pill will see romantic love for what it is, a clever contrivance by women trying to maintain their sexual primacy.

In this Blink to The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi, you’ll learn the arguments for the existence of the female Matrix, the conventions that have kept it in place, and why he believes women covertly put their sexual interests over those of men.

Rollo Tomassi also proposes solutions he believes men can use to game the system.

Let’s dive into the Matrix….

It’s a woman’s world

Is there any chance of a man and a woman having equal stakes and working towards the same outcome in a sexual relationship?

The Manosphere doesn’t believe so. One sex will always manage to prioritize its interests. When this happens, the winner’s personal goals become relationship goals.

Women, they argue, are winning that battle. It’s not even close. It’s a knockout. Women boss their relationships, but they wouldn’t want any man to know.

For the most part, this female power is an instinct. It’s evolutionary. To survive, women have incrementally built this agency over time, then reinforced their ability through changes that have happened in society.

The sexual revolution that happened in the 60s took these changes even further.

In a world dominated by news of the crushing influence of the patriarchy, sexual abuse, discrimination, and the fight for equality, this assertion is jarring.

What’s the evidence women rule the mating game?

The author believes it’s so obvious we overlook female dominance. Men, he argues, are conditioned from birth to serve women. When your mother sat you on her lap and told you to grow up to be gentleman, you were being groomed to conform to your future girlfriend’s whims.

Every life decision you make about your education, job, where you live – all these choices are made with your current or future female partner in mind. She decides how many kids you have, and has all sorts of birth control methods to use behind your back.

You like to think you chose your partner, but she actually chose you. If you marry and divorce, you go on to pay alimony and child support because society has been conditioned to put her interests first.

These are all examples of how your wife dominates you. So how does she make sure you stay in line?

How women maintain their primacy

Have you ever been told to man-up and do the right thing? Or something in the lines of, that’s not how a gentleman treats ladies?

Red Pill proponents believe that’s just one of the ways the matrix keeps men plugged in, but it’s more complex than that.

Understanding hypergamy, the woman’s game

Most men have had that experience where they think a woman is really into them, but things are just not progressing rapidly enough, or dealt with that flirty woman who loves chatting with them on phone but isn’t in a hurry to meet up.

On the other hand, some men have had that experience where they got lucky during the first week, or had a one night stand. The author categorically dismisses the element of luck in these events.

Unplugging from the Matrix

In 2008, a 16 year-old Australian teenager called Corey Worthington threw a wild party at his parents’ home. The resulting property damage cost his parents $20,000. Interviewed about the incident on TV, Corey kept his sunglasses on and refused to apologize.

While the author doesn’t condone the behavior of the kid, he uses his behavior to illustrate the wilful behavior that separates the Alpha from the crowd of men vying for breeding rights with any woman.

The Iron Rules of Tomassi

Owning the frame in a relationship is just one of the iron rules Tomassi prescribes for men trying to impose their will on a relationship. There’s really no middle ground. For him, it equates to one partner’s precedence over the other.

Another way for a man to retain that power over the woman’s sexual agency is to never talk about his past sexual experiences to his current lover. This backfires because the man either comes across as a braggart, or succeeds to stir resentment from an insecure woman.

Final Summary

Women have leverage in relationships, but disguise their power in order to use it effectively. When women date, they’re looking for good genes and a good income. Ideally they want a good specimen and a great provider, but they’ll settle for one based on what the priority is at the time.

To maintain their ability to choose, they rely on instinct and social conventions that shame men into obedience. They also rely on tools like birth control. Understanding these principles can help men become the primary selectors in relationships. The man who wants to exercise that power must invest in himself, date non-exclusively to make himself the prize, and judge women from their behavior and not what they say. This is important even in long term relationships.

Worum geht es in The Rational Male?

The Rational Male (2013) implores men to adopt a pragmatic view of intersexual relationships founded on evolutionary and behavioral concepts. Waking up to the evidence, it argues, will set men on a course to prioritizing their needs over the survival instincts of women who currently (covertly) rule the roost.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
