Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes with X’s in my eyes
And drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X’s in my eyes
And drawing flies
And I said “Hey what you yellin’ about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?”
“Hey what you yellin’ about
Sadists’ co-addiction, perfect analogies?”
“Hey what you yellin’ about
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?”
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X’s in my eyes
And drawing flies

Great blog. A+
Have you ever met Pook? Do you know what became of him?

Good blog. I just got here from Roissy. Best of luck.
Keep the long-essay format, but break it into subheds. Those are the easiest to scan — we are all scanners online. But if the material is good, the scan will lead to in-depth reading, like samples lead to feasts.
Post your seminal pieces, like Roissy did with his sixteen commandments, above the blogroll to the right, so newbies can get up to speed with a click or two and you won’t have to repeat yourself (one of the impetuses of this blog, I take it).
Writing regularly is more important than writing often. If we can depend on one post a week, that’s better than sporadic bursts of irregular content, six posts in a day followed by weeks of silence.
I look forward to your brand of thoughtful, elevated conversation. Roissy unintentionally invites confusion in the commentary by posting eclectically (politics, culture) rather than concentrating exclusively on game — like he did in the beginning. Stick to your core competencies, and the rest should take care of itself.
P.S. Correct the spelling of “Chateau” in your blogroll. And take the apostrophe out of “way’s” above.

hey i remember you from roissy, you had some great posts. congratulations on starting your own blog. found you via whiteboykrispy.

Excellent blog. I plan on being a regular reader.

Rollo,
Congratulations for the blog! May I suggest you to include the subscription list module, so we can receive your new posts inmediately.
Thanks.

Done. Thanks for the suggestion, I’m still new to this blogging gig.

Just ran across this tonight. Evidently it’s been around for awhile. The Reverend is a bit over the top in his presentation but he gets it. Bear with the Q&A format- it takes a few pages to warm up.

Here’s a little preview:
“Keep in mind the basic rule that he who cares least wins. Do not allow yourself to become emotionally attached to your dates and girlfriends, or some very unhappy days are in store for you. You may allow them to enjoy your body, your mind, and your money, but always deny them your soul”
October 10th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
You can’t stop yourself from getting emotionally attached to someone who you’re fond of, you bloody idiot. Bonding with another human being isn’t really a choice, it’s rather biochemical and involuntary. How facetious and naive of you.

Loving the blog and insight!

Your blog is the first one whose RSS feed doesn’t work with ifttt.com
Oddly enough, it passes the Feed Validator:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Frationalmale.wordpress.com%2Ffeed%2F
Hmm. That makes me sad.

The two biggest shocks of my life have been discovering PUA/The Manosphere/Game. The second was discovering this blog. I read a few of your comments at Aunt Susan’s before wandering over.
It is amazing how I have internalized cultural meme’s like that of soul mates, and how I just sort of never considered never marrying, because of how the feminine imperative absolutely dominates discourse in our society. Your work has been absolutely critical in my internalization of the red pill, and has actually helped me let go a lot of my anger and bitterness.For about a year, I was completely stuck in the anger phase of acceptance, so to speak. If we ever meet offline, I need to buy you a beer. I literally cannot thank you enough.

Hi Rollo,
I was wondering what your views are about guys that are below average height? How do they overcome the heightist attitude 99% of all women have. One is automatically disqualified as an attractive guy or romantic interest because of shorter stature.
I am 5″8 myself. This might not sound really short, but I live in the Netherlands. The average male height here is over six feet.
Thanks, love your posts.

Hey Rollo, I’d love to hear about you.

(Sorry for spamming. “cienfuegos”, “houseofjacques” and “antoniocienfuegos” are the same person, it’s just that I signed-in with three different accounts. My e-mail is still escueladeunhombre at gmail dot com, and I’d still like to hear from you for a situation I’m having right now. Thanks)

Roll you ever seen the simple pick up vids
What are your assessments on the women talking about getting out of the friend zone? starting around the 3:00 mark
peace
January 15th, 2012 at 12:42 pm
RT, how does that saying go? Don’t give women a reason to reject you, let her figure it out for herself. Something to that effect. Good job on the blog too.

I very much enjoy your blog. Well done. BTW, have your read the book Chivalry-now by Dean Jacque? A great piece on the male “condition” in today’s world. Might check it out.
Thanks again and great work!

Really enjoy your blog.
I have a problem with a current live-in LTR and would appreciate your advice.

Love your blog. As a mid-40′s married guy, I relate to your POV and experiences; especially about older women. Keep up the good work.

Rollo,
What’s your take on marriage counseling? Is it alpha if the husband initiates it or is it a weak attempt if the wife has been thinking of straying? I’ll explain more by email. Your advice would be helpful.
Your blog is stellar by the way.

Hello Rollo,
I have some idea you also may find interesting: how about analyzing the Hank Moody character from Californication?
I would really appreciate that!
April 8th, 2012 at 6:29 am
+1 for that.
Rollo,
i want also to tell you that your blog is a great source of inspiration and information.
thank you.
just a little questio Rollo: is all the blogs in the blogroll list, is created by sosuave members ?

Hey Rollo,
Long time viewer, first time commenter. Great blog, BTW. Just curious to see if you’ve you seen this drivel being spewed by none other than Jon Hamm of ‘Mad Men’ fame? Check it out:
http://ca.omg.yahoo.com/blogs/the-juice-celeb-news/jon-hamm-ask-grown-man-video-gives-feminist-150758838.html
Seems like even Mr. Hamm has avoided the red pill even after having all of the tools of the trade, so to speak. Well, except the right mindset as it relates to the female mind and how it really functions, it seems.
Perhaps it might make for a good post about how even people who are either innately alpha or have great alpha-potential, can be betaized in a snap, it seems. Or, perhaps something a lot more clever you could spin out of it.
Peace.
May 11th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Rollo,
I respect the high quality work you’ve been producing.
If you’re ever looking for a blog topic I’d love to hear your thoughts on determining a girls LTR potential based on her upbringing. Specifically, economic class growing up, and her father.
My personal “unscientific” research has been:
Middle class girl with married biological parents, and a non AFC father are the most stable/LTR.
The further you stray from this the more unstable / borderline batshit crazy they get.
(think adopted girl to a single mom).
This is obvious to you I’m sure, but it amazes me how much the average guy will overlook such an important component. No amount of “game” can fix the first 20 years of a girls upbringing.
May 11th, 2012 at 8:59 pm
Sure you know your RSS feed comes up as “title unknown.”
I see it’s been brought up before. I recommend Google’s FeedBurner for fast and easy.
If it doesn’t matter, let it be!
May 24th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
Rollo your blog is one of the most important things that has ever happend to me. Thank you

Feedback like this is why I keep writing. Glad I can help.
May 24th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
So i’ll say that i make Mike’s words mine. Thank you too.
May 24th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
rollo i want to echo some of the last comments here. your website is among the best (top 2 imho, and you can guess who the other one is.) and i want to thank you for helping me to understand why i don’t want to be like every other beta male in my family.
