"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Rollo's book is out.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is probably a stupid question, but what is it about?

It's a compendium of all his theories and game tenets.

I have to say, I'm not personally a huge fan of his style, but I'm happy to see solid material like this making it's way into the mainstream. He didn't confine his material to just forums and a blog, he got it out there on paper and in print for the posterity of men. Well done.

That's what I'm wondering. Is this a book mainly about seduction and the male/female dynamic, or are there other topics as well?
Is it a collection of his blogs?

I am actually burned out on "Manosphere" material. I've read so much it's just constant nodding in agreement for me at this point. I tried writing my own blog and realized I have nothing to add that's original, at least now.
Me too buddy. There is nothing new under the manosphere sun. I struggle with updating my own blog more than once a month---I just don't have any real new or compelling observations to write about. You reach a certain point where you are just saturated with the material. Even the big bloggers like Heartiste, Roosh, and the Spearhead crew are just repackaging common knowledge, or stooping to petty sociopolitical commentary. There are enough of those blogs in the world.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

It's available in print and kindle. I've intentionally kept the price low (compared to most other books in my category) since my reason for publishing is to make the material available to guys who wouldn't otherwise take a blog or forum posts seriously. It's being very well received thus far.

Since all of you are more or less familiar with my posts here and on the blog it's not going to break any new ground for you, but consider it a tool to help your plugged-in friends come to terms with their conditioning and unplug. Imagine the conversations you can have with them or the women who see it in your bookcase or you reading it on a plane.

You might be burned out on the manosphere, but there are a lot of people who have no idea about the red pill and just engaging in that conversation with the uninitiated might make you think of some things you haven't considered.

I'm not sure why I would want to discuss its contents with a woman, but I do like the title. Certainly less embarassing than having something like "How to Get Laid, for Losers" on your bookshelf, lol.

Just arrived today. Browsed through it and am pleased to say that its layed out exactly like I would lay out a book on something like this. The use of examples and real life instances are also very much appreciated ( the ones I read during my quick browse). While I have several others I am working on, this one looks like it might be moved up the que.

congrats again. Hopefully feedback and discussion to follow amongst those who are reading it.

Just received my copy today, well technically yesterday. Still can't believe this was only 10 bucks! Just the content and introduction has me hooked already.

SMH and to think 13-14 years ago I spent 100 on the system....Bahaha

Alright I'm diving in!

Good point, a lot of these pickup method books and videos are priced like they're made of gold or something. All of them claim to hold the "secret", and yet they all seem to contain basically the same material, with a few minor tweaks. 10 bucks is very reasonable.

I'd love to see a transcript of that conversation :)

Good for you Rollo!

I don't read often... but when I do, I read Rollo's posts..

And also I like to support independent artists...

BTW... the Kindle version is only like $6.99. I paid a crap-ton more for the game...

Hopefully, it will renew my interest in gaming.. and help me get my head straight again.

Look at this chode. He gave the book 1 star. All the other reviews are positive. Matthew Lockwood huh? Sounds more like Debbie Smith.

1.0 out of 5 stars

Mostly run-on manosphere manure, October 26, 2013

By Matthew E. Lockwood "Matt reads" (KC,MO) - See all my reviews

(REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I like some of the new men's movement books out there, such as 'No More Mr Nice Guy' and 'Married Man Sex Life Primer'. I think Rollo Tomassi's book takes it too far.

I dont necessarily believe in the feminist imperative: Women arent, as a whole, Hypergamous. I just dont see it. Of course, a Rollo Tomassi cool-aid drinker will write that I feel this way because the feminists have me duped. Ok.

Also, this book is written for the single man, so it doesnt apply to the entire manosphere. I feel his theory is that if you are married, you obviously didnt read his book or blog, or take his advice.

The book is one long run-on sentence, not well formatted.

A couple valid points about the role of men in our society today, but mostly just theoretical drivel.

He didn't even really review the book. That's Amazon reviews for you. Plus as the commenter on the review mentioned, Rollo's married.

I would only add that feminists don't have the guy duped; most men dupe themselves.
Women have to parade around the internet these days under male names. They do this because they know nobody will take them seriously otherwise. Just look how many women come here pretending to be men? I bet it's more than we realize. Why don't you see men posing as women on Loveshack?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

That's funny - I had "How to Succeed with Women" (Louis & Copeland) back in the day. WAY back in the day. I always had to hide it somewhere in my room. I eventually got rid of it...that book was got outdated really fast and some of its game tactics were sappy and lame.
That was a GOAT book. that book did more for me in 2 weeks than this site had done in 2 years back in 2004.

It absolutely was a GEM and I agree with you 100%

Its unfortunate most of the users on this forum are too brainwashed with the idea of being "beta" or "supplicating" where as those who actually apply what that book says will get laid a lot more

That book single handily got me my first real LTR as an adult. The story about amber where she kept flaking out on me and I told her look i'm going to give you one more chance and if you don't' show up i won't be mad at you, but i won't ever call you again.. straight out of that book from the letter. worked like a charm too.
