Terrence Matioli

Before you start reading this book, you should know that it is a collection of blogposts. The structure of the book and flow of content was initially confusing for me because I did not know. . I found the book to be predominantly dualistic in its approach where the opposites tend to be presented as absolute truths (albeit understandably on a rudimentary level). On reconciliation of my personal, internal and social biases towards the subject, I found Mr. Tomassi's argumentative style to be thought provoking and often forced me to reflect and examine my surroundings (reality). As an adherent of philosophy and sociology, I can see why it is easier for me to accommodate such marginalised views in light of todays sociocultural climate. It is easier to approach this book as a novel examination of something (concepts) you may already know but you do not look at the way another person sees it. More often, I felt Rollo's writing to be much like musings of a stoner buddy who launches into long (perhaps conspiratorial) rumblings about abstract concepts in a sensical way with pseudoscientific underpinnings. Only personal experiences can redeem/vindicate the hypothesis presented due to his use of an insufficient amount of scientific evidence. I wouldn't complain about the grammar and non-existing vocabulary since the author tried to explain himself (and I understand the nature of writing about a novel topic). My verdict is that this is a must read for men above 20 years old especially, if you have ever felt manipulated by a woman you were interested in. Main takeaway: Don't get too comfortable. I would would also like to read opposing socio-philosophical takes on the concepts presented (feminine mystery, attraction and divorce, red flags). Don't hate women. Embrace yourself. Love women.
