Publisher's summary

In this final master-work of The Rational Male series, Rollo Tomassi breaks down the fundamental mechanics of Game, intersexual social skills, and the nuts and bolts psychology that makes it work. The Players Handbook is not a "how-to" book, it's a "why-it-works" book. It’s not an instruction manual—it is the missing textbook on Game and understanding intersexual dynamics.

Game is an adaptive set of social skills and best practices in navigating intersexual dynamics in a modern sexual marketplace. While the rapid conditions of that marketplace are in constant change, the human-machine does not.

We need a modern Game textbook based on empirical 21st-century data, not emotional hopefulness. We need a reference manual for all dating coaches, relationship experts, as well as married men and would-be players. We need a players handbook to guide the practice of all Game.

Drawing on over 20 years of evolutionary psychology, biology, sociology, and anthropology, The Players Handbook fluidly addresses the natures of men and women’s intersexual dynamics.

Game is a craft that sets players apart from average men. Average men are everywhere. The average guy is overweight, underemployed, low-or-no education, rudderless and purposeless in life and love.

Today's statistics show that women find only 4.5 percent of men attractive…attractive enough to initiate a dialogue with them. That 4.5 percent are the players. Their Game may suck, but they are the high-value men who women want to play with, and play with. And this is what’s at the heart of this book.

You want to be a player, not the average guy.

Game is for every man, not just the hustler draped over a Lamborghini parked next to his super-yacht. Single, married, saint or sinner, first-world rich or third-world poor; Game is for you.

This is the lost textbook you and your dating coaches have been missing for decades.

It’s time you become a player.

A magnum opus.

This coupled with the flagship Vol. I and Corey Wayne's "How To Be A 3% Man" are some of the best books on the topic of inter gender dynamics and relationships in general. This is especially for men who had no guidance on the matter growing up.

Great info, badly edited

Rollo’s insights are great as always, but there are several instances where the editor left in the narrator’s mistakes. Not unbearable, but sometimes catches you of guard. That said, the narrator does a good job and is easy to listen to. I still highly recommend listening.

Great, needed content

The content was great and surely needed by many men today. My only complaint is that several times the narrator's mistakes and remakes were left in the recording. There were also a few places where some content seemed to be skipped as the audio book paused then picked back up at a different spot.

Every marriage counselor and military chaplain needs to be savvy to these principles

Rollo’s presentation is about awareness. Anyone can understand this principle. You don’t have to decide to live your life by these rules but being aware of them and the cultural shift back toward some version of real masculinity is important to anyone wanting to help others in counseling or even just friendly advice. I wish more women would read the last few chapters.

Love it

Believe it repeated some of the same concepts, but overall well done, love that speaks based on personal experiences and what works

Great content

Another great book in the series. But frustrating editing issues.

Rollo, you need to listen to your audio books, too. Some of your other audio books have similar issues.
