Practical Female Psychology: For the Practical Man

Rate this book
Practical Female Psychology for the Practical Man is a unique examination of women and relationships in an era of material equality between the sexes. Despite vast gains in the welfare of women, especially in the modern West, both men and women are finding relationships ranging from dating to marriage increasingly difficult. The author draws upon cutting edge science in evolutionary biology, and neuropsychology, and vast personal experience with women to distill some simple and practical principles men will find useful for creating and maintaining relationships with emotionally compatible women.

This book is a great read as an introduction to female psychology, and will give a great foundation to work with.

I found it rather unpractical however, contrary to the title, with the lack of anecdotes and examples.

In that sense, it's good, but it's somewhat elementary.

The content itself gave me great insights and I will return to this book to master the matter.

Do yourself a favor and just read it if you haven't already and you are new to Red Pill and would like to up your game with women.

Recommended for both dating and LTR.

PS: it actually changed my life because I learned about subcommunication: I learned to be playful and talk like women. I also learned the power of joking about myself with sarcasm, which made my life so much better - and the women love it.

This book is awful, irresponsible and frankly doing a disservice to the men it claims to help. The authors claim it was prepared in consultation with university academics, but none are named. And my lord, no self-respecting academic would want their name attached to this.

This book reduces female behavior and decision-making down to evolutionary and biological urges. It writes about women as thought they are driven purely by emotional reasoning and an instinctual concern to find a man to pay for their children. It is for this reason that women are manipulative, schizophrenic and their word cannot be trusted.

The examples of dialogue it presents from conversations with women are unrealistic and cliche. They gloss over the process of having real, healthy, constructive conversations with women about obligations and expectations in relationships. Indeed, these authors write as though men are the only decision-makers in relationships with women and that any conversation you don’t want to have can be cut off at the knees by demanding a back scratch and seeing whether your girl throws a fit.

The authors discredit and undermine the hard work of couples therapists. They claim that therapists will throw men under the bus in defence of women’s interests and traditional monogamy, but this simply is not true. Many couples therapists are experts at working with a range of non-traditional relationship arrangements. So statements like these are needlessly discouraging men from getting professional support.

Notably, the book is written as though obtaining sex and stoking sexual attraction are the only end goals worth pursuing with a woman. Every chapter in this book seems to end with: “Do X, and she’ll be hornier for you.” Trust, friendship and mutual respect seemingly have no value.

The worst part (and god, I’m not even exaggerating) is that it states a woman with low self-esteem may appreciate being abused by a man: “While there is absolutely no excuse to continue to beat on another human being, adults also have the responsibility to immediately and permanently remove themselves from unacceptable situations.”

Statements like this are dangerous and appear all throughout the book. This one in particular glosses over the complexity and careful planning that often must go into leaving an abuser, shifting blame from the abuser to the abused.

I’d hate to think what kind of damage this book could do if it fell in the hands of too many young, impressionable boys.

Also, if you get the audiobook, the narrator mispronounces several scientific terms, which really is the cherry on the cake. I’m not going to say which ones because I want the authors to sweat over it, but believe me, you don’t need a PhD to notice the mistakes peppered throughout.

Don't think this book going to provide you a handful of manipulative techniques for you to persuade any women within in minutes. This book actually focuses on explaining you types of different female character, so you can love the women for who she is. Don't think you can make a girl fall in love after reading this book. Anyway a book to read if you have much time.

Favorite "red pill" book. Really teaches you overarching principles of female nature and simplifies lots of the things that I'd consider some of the red pillers complicate.

Lleno de buenos consejos pero me da la sensacion de que le dan muchas vueltas a los mismos conceptos para rellenar.
