If i ever return to academia i might have to get in touch you with Rollo ;-)

Reading your book, it confirmed a lot of what I’ve always known but could never analyze and explain the way you did. It also caused me to see things I didn’t realize I’d been doing my whole life. Bad mistakes that I’m now going to work on fixing.

While I’m in my 50’s, I’ve never fallen into the marriage trap so my finances are very solid and after quitting drinking 10 years ago I’ve gradually gotten myself into great physical shape. I’m 6 feet tall, decent looking and still have most of my hair. You mentioned several times in your book the need to get in touch with your inner asshole. I won’t need to reach too far to find mine.

While I’ve slept with over 50 women and can count 6 who desparately wanted me to marry them an honest assessment of myself is that of an AFC with too many Beta tendencies learned over a lifetime of feminine societal influence.

I’ve just started poking around on Sosauve and while it seems to be a great resource I almost choked when I saw the “Mature Man” forum described as Men over 25. The shit I DIDN’T know at 26 years old could fill the library of congress.

Reading your book I was also wondering about how and if the philosophy changes on how to deal with women in their mid 40’s and older. My target audience. Any thought or references on how hypergamy morphs/changes as women reach that stage of life? Is it all about financial security then or are they still looking for an alpha that other women want to fuck?

Is there a forum/subset of the manosphere for guys my age that you know of?

One other point that struck me as I read your book and sosuave. For decades I’ve heard women rant and rave about how superficial men are and how unfair it is to base womens value on looks. Yet it seems the first item on the checklist of advice for AFC’s trying to improve their life is to get to the gym and get in shape. The same advice we’d give women that they claim is so unfair.

Anyway, good work on the book. I have a few nephews that I’m going to get copies for.

Dr.Helen posted a thread about your book too: http://pjmedia.com/drhelen/2013/10/05/the-rational-male/#comments

Her memory is my ONLY remaining connection to blue pill thinking. I am at the 1 yard line of unplugging’s endzone. For this I thank you. There is still some bitterness there. Taking the last step has been a work in progress. But it is liberating to know I have no ties but to myself. I dont envy the engaged 22 year old male. But in a decade he’ll envy me.

To that extent, the other piece that resonates most is the redefinition of power. I’m 25 years old, single, and just recently dropped everything and moved cross country with zero loose ends. I have a bit of cash now but not enough to travel but for 1-2 times a year. But theres a handsome inheritence waiting. Im intrigued to see my reality when my SMV peaks in 10 years.

Godspeed.
