Men: Treat Women Like Children (The Rational Male video)

Men: Treat Women Like Children is a video on Rollo Tomassi's The Rational Male YouTube channel

On the Topic

On the concept of men treating women like children, Rollo believes this is a misinterpretation of an old school pick-up artistry concept of treating women like "bratty sisters," a playful and protective dynamic.

Additionally, he explores the idea of men's instinctual protective nature, particularly towards women and children. He uses examples of men sacrificing themselves for women in situations of danger like mass shootings and sinking ships, arguing this is a primal instinct. However, he also points out that when instead men are given time to think about the risks involved instead of acting reflexively, men may choose to prioritize their own survival, which he illustrates with the example of the Costa Concordia cruise liner incident.

Rollo believes this protective instinct does not typically apply in reverse, with women protecting men, and he uses this to argue that there are inherent differences between men and women's instincts and behaviors.

He talks about the instinctive protector dynamic in men for women and children, suggesting that men often sacrifice themselves for these groups. He believes that this pattern of self-sacrifice often defines the male experience, and this is something society grapples with in the 21st century due to increased access to information. Rollo discusses an example of a man intervening in a confrontation between a couple at a nightclub, in which the man ends up getting shot. Rollo highlights this as an example of an instinctive protector dynamic, suggesting that men are more likely to intervene when a woman is in danger compared to when another man is in danger.

Summary

Rollo begins by discussing 'red pill' theory and its significance in understanding relationship dynamics. He introduces the concept of Sexual Market Value (SMV), explaining its variation between males and females. He notes that a man's SMV peaks later than a woman's, largely due to maturity and societal factors. He emphasizes that understanding this dynamic is crucial in navigating the modern dating scene.

In discussing societal shifts, the speaker explores the impact of technology, dating apps, and social media on relationships. He observes that these platforms have changed traditional dating and mating practices, creating new challenges and opportunities for both sexes.

The speaker shares personal anecdotes that shaped his understanding of these dynamics, emphasizing the importance of personal experiences in shaping perspectives. He critiques the mainstream media's portrayal of relationships, arguing that it perpetuates unrealistic expectations. He takes issue with the 'soulmate' concept, suggesting it creates false hope and unattainable relationship goals.

He discusses the importance of communication, explaining the different communication styles of men and women. He suggests that understanding these differences can lead to healthier, more balanced relationships.

The speaker delves into the 'Plate Theory,' a 'red pill' concept suggesting that men should maintain relationships with multiple women simultaneously. This approach, he suggests, could provide men with a wider perspective on relationships and help them avoid becoming overly dependent on a single partner. He also outlines characteristics of 'beta' and 'alpha' males, explaining their influence on relationship dynamics and sexual attraction.

The speaker also addresses sexual double standards in relationships, emphasizing the different rules and mitigations that often apply depending on the individual and the situation. He argues that these standards reflect societal attitudes towards sexuality and can shape individuals' behaviors and decisions within their relationships.

He provides commentary on the societal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, critiquing narratives that suggest female-led countries have managed the crisis better. He argues that there is no clear evidence to support these claims.

On a more practical note, the speaker offers advice for maintaining desire in long-term relationships. He recommends increasing 'passive dread' and personal growth as strategies to sustain attraction over time. He also promotes outdoor activities as a means of personal development and enjoyment.

Towards the end, the speaker reflects on his personal projects and online presence, discussing the growth of his YouTube channels and his upcoming collaborations. He acknowledges and appreciates the support of his audience, anticipating future discussions and content.
