I Really Liked It 😃
-★★★★✬- (4.25/5.00)
My Grading Score = 85% (A-)
The ideas and concepts in this book are very straightforward and thought-provoking to a very high degree. As a man and depending on the experiences you've had with the other gender, a lot of what he's stating to some degree should and probably will hit close to home to you. It's riddled with uncomfortable truths and goes into a detailed analysis of the very foundation of hypergamy, and it's a very hard pill to swallow if you aren't fully prepared for how deep Rollo Tomassi goes.
Verdict
I personally feel I can recommend this to any man out there whether you are or are not struggling to fully figure out more about female instinctual behavior and what are the best things you can do for yourself in regards to giving yourself the outcome that is favorable to not only you but your possible future partner via you understanding the meta of it all more than you have before you read it in here. By what this book set out to accomplish, I felt it nailed what it wanted to do and then some. I can't really disagree with the majority of any of the statements presented in this book. Although the plate spinning theory makes sense, I'm not sure if I could recommend it myself. My only other nitpick is the amount of acronyms used throughout the book, I know once they are said for the first time it is defined, but if you forget what that acronym stood for, then it does feel like when the acronym is said chapters at later you miss out on the context of the concept being fully explained to you. I feel like a way this could have been alleviated a bit was to define each of the acronyms at least a few times each throughout the book. Some of them were, but some were not. Outside of that one small gripe, this book, I really liked it, and I'm glad I read it.
