As someone who has occasionally stumbled across the community around this book at Reddit, I do wonder why so many of these men keep trying. When I reached, from relationship experience, my own conclusion that any partner in a relationship would inevitably have different and incompatible goals, motivations, and outlook from own, I simply chose to live alone from then on.

Obviously people might crave companionship. But if one is frustrated in obtaining that to the point of seizing on literature like Tomassi’s book, why keep hitting one’s head against that wall?

I would suggest one perspective - curiosity. Often i like to observe relationships not from standpoint of having it or getting in, but from standpoint of evolutionary game, which it is. Surely sometimes it’s easier to recluse yourself from situation or a problem. But it won’t be fun :)
