F--cfiles: 15 Lessons from a Decade of Women
N**N
Women will be women
In a society where mainstream culture is increasingly gynocentric, where the male figures featured in our fictional universes are becoming either well meaning stumbling idiots or despotic purely evil villains, where the female leads are at risk of being invincible Mary Sues just for the sake of the PC police (contrasting to the nuanced vulnerable anti-heroes of the late 90’s, male or female, is my case here), Rian brings home an important point, and my biggest take away from Fuccfiles: women are and always will be women, understand that female nature regardless of culture and technological age has not changed in thousands of years, and will never change, is the biggest lesson any men can learn to accept.We're about the same age, and his tales brought back memories of what dating used to be like before everything moved online, and he made me increasingly nostalgic of the time approaching a girl face to face was the best way to find your next girl. Yet again, the shift is merely technological, cultural and logistic, not in the nature of our behavioural biology.( ...now if someone can tell him to write in English English, and not Canadian English, we're set! Looking forward to book 2!)

There are no shortcuts and no magic bullets. You have to do the work.
Fantastic book.Rian put a lot of thought, time, and consideration into writing it.Will the binary thinking guy understand what he's talking about? Probably not. Will the guy looking for a magic bullet be disappointed? Absolutely. Will the average guy understand it? Most definitely. And they should, it was written for them. It was written for me, the average guy.It doesn't make any guarantees or promises other than you have to go out and do the work. There are no short cuts. Rian says things with a certain type of humor that only he has and with a nuance that if you aren't paying attention, you miss it as well as you'll miss the whole point of this book. I highly recommend this book.

Practical RP!
I admit the first time I read the book, I probably understood 20% of it. And ignored aone of the concepts in it.But the more I went out in the field, did my field reports. The more the concepts in the book stood out, and things started to click.Get the book and subscribe to his YouTube channels. The guy is a genius.

Nice Synthesis of Real World Experience and Theory
Glad I pre-ordered this book when I heard on Twitter Rian was writing his first. Just finished reading it and it's been one of the best reads this year so far. I enjoyed Rian's honesty (something lacking in these kind of books) and insight into not only his actions but mindset. I'm going to have to read this again in a couple of months because i know there will be something i missed. Definitely worth a read for guys looking to get better with the ladies. The book isn't intended to provide much actionable advice but rather make you reflect on your overall mindset. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Legit Helpful
Every story made sense when it came to how a man would end up eventually having that long term relationship. The book tells so many experiences that getting a woman isn't like winning the lottery like what most romantic films show, and you see how in the book Rian Stone made the odds play into his favor.Rian's writing emphasizes how every experience, good or bad, was essential to success.

A bitter pill made sweet
If you are a man, you need to read this book. If you are a husband, you need to read this book. If you have shared your life with a sailor at any time, it all checks out.

Great read
Love Rian as a podcaster and as an author now too. This book continues his style of looking at life with all the BS and lies we tell ourselves peeled away. Refreshing.

A book not on self-help, but in useful thinking.
This book is full of useful information, packed with tools to live a better life. Be ware though, you have to apply the tools. There is no feel good simulation inside, instead a bunch of experiences and a way to interpret them that helps you frame things in your best interest.I've read the book two times now. It's nuanced and some aspects are not readily apparent on just a quick pass.

Great Message!
I don't write reviews but thought I'd give the author some feedback. I’m a fan of Ryan’s work from his old blog to his new YouTube channel and bought the book to support his work.. As a 25 year old living in Vancouver I found a lot of the topics and locations in the book relatable. Whether or not you like the books style or stories this guy knows his stuff and does it in a way that makes it easy to understand. It's Like having an older cousin who slays it in the sack and teaches you some moves. I would recommend this book to any young dude looking for clear & right in your face messages about yourself and how you perceive women. Even though he talks about his failures they seem to be glossed over in the book.Let it be said that the book has a lot of setbacks: typos, grammatical errors, poor sentence structure, sometimes boring stories, too much reliance on military (IMO), and a horrid introduction. To be honest I think the title is garbage and does a disservice to the content but that's not my decision to make.If it wasn’t done before hand I’d recommend getting an editor involved to look through the book, fix errors, and offer suggestions. There were times I felt bored and skimmed through pages because I didn’t give a shit about what was going on.Having said that the content alone is gold. Rian covers topics like mental models, ego, the rule of two (not a star wars reference lol) and narcissistic fantasies which are vital in navigating the marketplace and making yourself a Neo in the matrix. I don’t agree with Rian all the time but I always chose to look at what was being said from a teacher/student perspective. If your new to this type of content just take it with a grain of salt and soak the main messages in. Verdict = Great work!!!

Don't judge this book by its cover
If Rollo Tomassi provides the red pill itself and the likes of Alan Roger Currie and Rich Cooper provide the water to make sure it goes down, Rian hands us a beer to ruminate on it.That was the order it happened with me. I'm a 50 year old man, had a good time in my teens and 20s, but got married too soon at 28 and then descended into deep dark betadom. I'm lucky, I have 3 great kids and my wife is a wonderful mother to them ... but after 20 years plus, our marriage had become a ticking time-bomb. After reading Rollo et al, I started kicking at the time-bomb and sank into a complete low.But Rian comes at it in a much more positive freewheeling kind of way that works for me. There's a lot I recognise in what he writes and says - I really recommend his Red Morning on YouTube - and he has a real genius in the way that he puts it together ... like "draw the space outside of the girl in the photo", or "go where you're treated best".The time-bomb has stopped ticking or, fucc it, at least I don't hear it any more.
