Hey all,
(sounds fake, it is not)
I have been following this forum for about 9 months and I find it an invaluable source of honest information on women and life. I used to be completely ignorant about women, partly because I never thought it was worth putting the time into understanding their childish and illogical ways. I need some input from you guys on what I should do in my situation. I am in my late 20's, and what I am about to say may sound unreal because it is usually isolated to the valley. I have been worked in several start ups as an early employee and was given the option to buy stock in companies early on. I did, because that is the whole point of working at start ups, and because I actually had confidence in the the lean start up strategy along with the business model and am quite wealthy today. I am not going to go into detail, but my net worth is around 25 million dollars (when one has significant stock it is hard to know exactly because your assets fluctuate daily). The majority of my net is in stocks which pay a 5% dividend. Annually, I get about 875 k after capital gains but this can be more or less depending on the stock prices. I still live in the Palo Alto area, and really have no idea what to do with my life. Yes I am wealthy, but I don't want to keep participating in start ups because I have been doing it for the last 10 years and I just don't really care anymore. I have had sex with around 2 women and probably gotten laid less then 10 times total because I had only 1 relationship which was in High School which was 13 years ago. I always had a goal of being successful and wealthy and sacrificed my personal life, meaning that I didn't date or even have friends outside of those that I worked with, and spent all my time talking with the founders and meeting with customers to discuss the product, and how we could improve upon it. I haven't been doing anything for the last couple months, just taking walks and going to Stanford randomly. It seems funny, but once one reaches their goals there doesn't seem to be a purpose in life, so now I am just looking for another one. To most people 25 mill(give or take a couple millions) seems like a lot, but it really isn't for this area. There are hundreds of guys in their 20's and 30's who have 75 million and up. To tell you the truth, I am angry about how much I made and how much I have contributed, if you ever work in a start up watch out for the venture capitalists that went to ivy leagues, those jerk offs will try to dilute your share and cheat you out of what you actually worked so hard for. I recently have gotten into shape, and am not looking to get married because I don't want someone to steal half of what I have worked so hard for. I would really like to know what you guys would do if you had my resources, thanks.

Move to an area where it is.

What kind of girls do you like?

Well, you know you're a working fool. That's in your blood. So whatever you do I wouldn't try and pretend you're not a working fool, like you're going to go hang out on a beach for the rest of your life. Also you're right, 25 million will go through your hands like water if you are not careful -- probably faster than 250 thousand.

Start your own business and surround yourself competent people you really like, cut your hours back, and keep your fingers in a lot of pies, so to speak.

If I were in your position I would first figure out who I am and what I want to accomplish in life.

You have a big bank account but are severely lacking in the life experience department.

Here would be my plan based on the 875k you say you get each year.

1) implement small changes now until january. things like lifting weights, reading books, being more sociable with everyone you meet, get a new wardrobe

2) from now-jan plan a year long trip all around the world. I wouldn't go big baller, but I wouldn't slum it either. You'll be surprised how much motivation and purpose you get from planning a big move or a long term travel situation.

3) Stay as long as you want in each place and immerse yourself in their culture and food etc. plan more trips and get life experience. Honestly, I would try my best to have sex with the women there, but I wouldn't make it my priority. With your $$$ I'd probably fuck whores every once and a while (just don't make it a habit, and understand that when you settle down somewhere your quality won't be the same unless you work hard at getting ass).

How clueless about life must you be if you have a net worth of 25 million and don't know what to do to get pussy? Seriously, if this story is true you must be the archetype for the sad, lonely, no social skills nerd because any normal guy with that much money knows very well what he would be doing.

First things first, like iop said, move somewhere where 25 million is a lot of money, basically, any place in the world, so there, you have a lot to choose from.

Using money as a yardstick for happiness is never a good idea.

If you enjoyed the process of making money, but decided to take a break, why not take a chunk like 1 mill and "retire" for a year or two before going back to work. Use that one year to learn about yourself. With all the information here, you won't go too far wrong.

Comparing yourself to the 75m people is a really useless feat. Just learn to be comfortable in your own 25m skin.
