Rollo Tomassi
Master Don Juan
One commonality I've noticed in reading the book and the outlines Style gives for each of the PUA masters is that few (if any) of them are mature men. Mystery, for all of his prowess and experience is still a kid. Does the guy still live with his parents in Canada? What confused me is that he could afford the Project Hollywood babe lair, but he still lived at home, WTF?
Ross Jefferies comes off as the 'Old Guy' who never grew up and desperately trails after younger guys in order to get back into the scene. The description of his dominant mother and passive father are very telling about the guy's character.
The reason I invoked Pook was that he seems to have pushed beyond this puzzy trap, but mentally. I mean hey, for all I know Pook may live at home at 44 too, but I don't think so. Experience is a harsh teacher and getting all the tail in the world isn't going to help guys understand the trap. A PUA can still be an AFC (Lord knows I was at one time), but a real DJ remains so even into marriage. I'm wondering if I'm not comparing apples and oranges here.
Practiaclly all of these guys had either non-existent or weakly masculine fathers as well, which I think has been a rudimentary problem for young men for about the last 50 years. This is the source really. Mystery has childhood fantasies of killing his Father and RJ has a dominant Mother with a weak Father. Negative masculinity is a recipe for disaster and virtually every man I've ever counseled can trace the roots of his problems back to this. I understand how Freudian that sounds, but a lack of Positive Masculinity then begs for teachers and role-models (like Arnolds) to shape that need.
