You're not always going to be in the gym, drinking a gallon of milk, doing HIIT.
You're not always going to eat right.
Injuries will take longer to heal.
Your career may not go as planned, or as you hoped.
Your business may fail, your investments may tank.
You may move to a new city and have to start your social circle from scratch.
Maybe even a new country, and have to learn a new language, a new culture.
Even through all of that, your ability to connect with another human being does not have to diminish. You can make friends at any age. Telling jokes, swapping stories, trading silent looks....never ends.
If you can do that, you can bag bitches. bitches galore.
So many guys are caught up in what a girl sees. Because guys judge everything by what it looks like, they assume that's how EVERYONE processes information. At the same time, these same guys will tell you all bitches are crazy, and none of them are logical.
It NEVER occurs to them, that a woman may evaluate things differently, that a woman might see things differently.
And this love affair with "men's logic" is what makes them never notice the world around them. Anything that upsets the apple cart has to be an exception. At no time do men question the rules, the logic, the rationale.
I don't know GK.
I don't care if was into P4P.
I do know men GK's age who are fucking 25 year olds without having to be a whoremonger or a sugar daddy.
Those kind of guys see something and they go after it.
Do they get laughed at?
Do they have to break out the Cialis/Viagra?
Do they look stupid in a young man's clothes?
Do people think the nice cars are compensation for physical shortcomings?
Sure they do.
And while the peanut gallery snickers, he's breaking a chick off a piece of his kit-katbar.
What's most interesting is that a lot more men could be taking advantage of the situation, but they've become beat down by society, they become risk averse. Some of that is biochemical of course, missing a set of hormones, but if you're aware of it, you still have free will.
There are still things you can do.
I'm not knocking marrying a pretty foreign wife. I hope to do the same in the future, but if I do find Mrs. WIA by way of Colombia, it won't be because I don't think I can't pull another chick, or that I need to get out the game while the getting is good.
I've seen too much.
I've experienced too much.

I suppose I can be thankful in some sense because she was a lawyer and who wants to be married to one. But, she's the smartest girl, probably, I've ever dated and our conversations were great as was the sex. I'm pretty smart and wasn't able to find many women on my wavelength or intellectual capability who didn't eventually bore me. She left me for her long time ex who she said she wanted to give one more chance ( and who Im sure is closer to her age ). I hate to admit it, but I had oneitis and it hurt ( and still does ) that she left. I've been semi-depressed. I'm dating another girl I'm not nearly as attracted to though who is fun and trying to meet others.
What I think is adding to my sadness is I was looking at myself as a 44 year old man who is "running out of options". After reading many of these posts here, I think I have a self pitying mindset and I need to snap the fuck out. I can still pass for mid , sometimes early, thirties. I'm decent looking and still get looks from younger women from time to time though not like in my 30s. I want to have a family and children and , perhaps subconsciously, viewed this girl who just left me, as a fading chance at a cool attractive young woman I could have a LTR with and even children. Now, she's gone. I left it at " call me if it doesn't work out" and she said she would. I've been thinking about contacting her to trying to convince her to choose me as wrong as this is or I'm hoping it doesn't work out for the same reasons again with her ex and she calls me soon....But I can't wait for that. I've got to move on.
I've actually been bordering on, as I mentioned earlier, depression, and I'm constantly thinking about her. I know this isn't a thread about oneitis or heartbreak and I don't mean to go on with my current issues, but the point is, reading the posts of the members on this thread, especially the older guys who are still slaying young pussy, has given me more hope and determination to change my mindset and try to forget her and move on. It's also given me ideas of things I need to focus my current thoughts and planning on. Instead of constantly thinking about this girl, I need to think about planning a fun trip to Colombia or Ukraine. I need to focus on opening an OK Cupid account, approaching any and all women I find attractive during the daytime ( I don't do night game)
I really do want to have a family one day and, even though I'm approaching my mid 40s, I realize if I develop the right mindset, and set goals and get out there and talk to more women, I will find the right companion.
I also realize I need to hit the weights more. I know things will get better with time and I think by absorbing the wisdom of this thread, I can quicken this process.

There seems to be a general disdain for "oneitis" but I don't think it's such a black and white issue. I think having a couple LTRs during your younger years is really important for when the time comes to actually settle down later in your life. Why you might ask?
Well...a lot of men on this board do seem to want to settle down at some point, whether that involves having children, getting married, or whatever. But the simple matter is that there are actually two components to game: pickup game (for getting girls) and relationship game (for keeping them around). There seems to be a lot of emphasis on the first on this board and not a lot for the latter. If you have relatively no relationship skills it is going to be very difficult to have a functional marriage for when you want it regardless of the girl you choose to do it with.
If you stay single almost your entirety of your life and just say "one day I'll get married and have kids" then you might be setting yourself up for disaster. Relationships are actually quite complex, and can only really be functional if you have some prior experience with them through trial and error.
I am 26 years old and by no means a relationship expert but I do have a one year+ relationship under my belt and I learned a shitload through that process. I think finding a girl that you really enjoy to be with and having a stable, and especially loyal (if she wants it that way that is), relationship is a really important life experience.
I mean, do you really think you can just crash course a marriage with kids with no prior or significant relationship experience in your repertoire? Women can be wily creatures and they can wear you down to a fraction of a man you once were if you don't know how to manage them in a serious relationship. And if you want children, having a strong and healthy relationship with their mother is truly vital to their development as human beings.
So I guess it's kind of just a throw of caution to the wind for some of you on here; if you find a girl you really like, test out the relationship waters, you might be surprised at how rewarding it can be. Of course, it can also be a total clusterfuck but it's worth the risk for the potential reward.

For a man in his 20s, having an LTR provides an additional benefit in that it frees up his time to chase money.
Here's an example from my own life: I spent my late teens and early twenties taking the red pill, learning game, and cold approaching at bars/clubs/house parties/etc. After a few notches, I met a sweet, conservative, Christian virgin and I've been dating her for almost a year.
In addition to the aforementioned LTR experience, I was able to save thousands of dollars by cooking dinner at home, finding free activities to do during the day, watching Netflix on Saturday nights, etc. Not to mention the money saved on condoms.
This financial buffer allowed me to ditch my cushy corporate gig for a risky entrepreneurial venture that's just now starting to pay off.
I intend to move cities in May and return to being single, but so far the relationship has been an incredible learning experience, and it's helped me focus on setting a financial foundation that should support me for the rest of my life. Ideally, I spend the rest of my 20s working my ass off, so I can travel and game in my 30s and then perhaps find a wife and settle down in my early 40s.
This isn't to say LTRs are better than STRs/ONS. I think there's a balance to be found, and it's beneficial for a man to gain experience from both situations.

How many female friends do you have?
How do they compare to your male friends?
I've been in too many LTR's at this point, but the friend relationship, I'd take a bullet for ya, give you my last dollar....- this always seems to be something that women
1) expect
2) take advantage of
My boys don't treat me like the girls in my bed, the ones that profess their love for me.
Good girls, educated girls, girls with good families - don't treat me as well as my siblings or my parents, aunts, uncles, and grand parents.
You could point the finger at me. Maybe I need to "up my game"...but the man-woman relationship is different than a friendship.
I've dated lots of girls that don't
- compromise
- sacrifice
- share
They were otherwise decent human beings, but ultimately self-centered.

I appreciate the advice, but I'm moving several states away and she's got another two years in med school. While it's going to be hard to let her go, I'm not interested in continuing the relationship.
Even if I was, this girl wants nothing more than to be a stay-at-home mom and I don't want a family for another fifteen years at the least. I'd rather part ways amicably so we can both pursue our goals, rather than cheat on her and risk ruining the best relationship either of us have either had just so I can get my dick wet with some strange. That will be happening anyway soon enough.

I don't do online game but I like to look, I see quite a few nice looking girls in their 20s who are quite specific about not wanting to date men of a certain age ( late 30s and early 40s ). Sure there are just as many that don't care but the 40s goes by a lot quicker than your 20s. The window is small, 39 seems a lot younger than 41.
The guy with the young virgin girlfriend may not realize what he has got until she has gone, the grass will not be greener on the other side. I love Samseau line about masturbation, it's so true.
A girl that wants to stay home is so much better than a career bitch,who will sleep with whoever in the office to get ahead.

I am guessing the virgin in question would have to be physically attractive enough?
I banged a 6.0 and a 6.5 virgin in the last 3 months. Couldn't see staying with either long term I really need more attraction.
There was another virgin years ago when I was 21 she was 20. I didn't take hers due some lack of attraction she was also a 6.5.. I could have, we were dating, but I dropped her.
If she is hot to you sure, I get it. But mildly to decently attractive? And you have the player gene inside? Good fucking luck.
I would say the perfect window to find a wife and stay physically attracted as long as possible is starting to look for a wife in your early 30s. Find her by your mid 30s and try to get her 10-15 years younger.
Some age like 34 for the man and 22 for the woman to meet, date then get married a few years later. Close enough in age to relate, she is still youthful for as long as possible. Oh yeah and probably go Asian so she ages well.
