George W. Miller (born 2 April 1969), better known by his pseudonym Rollo Tomassi and referred to by Dr. Phil as the "Godfather of the Manosphere", is an American author,[1] YouTube personality, and podcaster.[citation needed]
Originally working in the wine and spirits industry, Miller published his best-selling book entitled The Rational Male which became a series due to its popularity. On his YouTube channel, Miller discusses human behavior and interactions in the context of dating, and often appears in podcasts wherein he promotes his book and ideas.[citation needed]
Personal life
[edit]Miller was born on 2 April 1969 in Los Angeles, California[citation needed] and holds a degree in fine arts and a bachelor's degree in behavioral psychology, which he completed in his 30s.[2][3][dubious – discuss] He married in 1996 and has a daughter (born in 1998).[2]
Career
[edit]Miller previously worked in the wine and spirits industry for 25 years during which he had "good mentors".[2]
He was a graphic designer[2] and decided to use the pseudonym "Rollo Tomassi" to protect his family at first, taking it out of the 1997 film L.A. Confidential. With his success, he became more comfortable with his private life, having worked with Robert Kiyosaki and Zuby,[citation needed] and been interviewed by Mikhaila Peterson.[2]
Following the publication of his book series entitled The Rational Male,[4][5] Tomassi became a YouTube personality.[6] He often talks about marriage and how difficult it has become in modern society.[citation needed] Further, Tomassi runs a website called "The Rational Male."[7]
Miller has a YouTube channel wherein he publishes 3–4-hour analyses on human behavior and sexual selection— as of 2023 his YouTube subscriber count was over 200 thousand.[8] He also refers to himself as the "Godfather of the Manosphere".[9]
Following Andrew Tate's rise to fame, Miller claimed that Tate's promoted ideas are "derivative of his teachings," however, "Tate and others have 'distorted' his words."[9]
