You're giving advice to guys over forty and you're 38 which is not 40.

(Remember that when a woman tries to shame you for being single at 40).
Tell her you only hook up with girls in their late 20s and early 30s, see how she likes it. Anyway boys, my life is awesome, I go camping, bowling, fishing and I am learning a new language. Remember be happy that you are a man and don't worry about your age, have fun brothers. I will be in Rio in exactly 2 months from today. My life is occupied learning Brazil's beautiful language.
Peace my brothers.
Very accurate. I can't speak for others, but I pursue new girls with moderate effort, it is not all encompassing. Somehow new girls fall into place without a lot of effort now. I'm almost beyond the +1 thing as well. A new girl is great, but just because of a potential new experience...accumulating notches just for the sake of it has lost its appeal to me (and I have far far less than many here).
My life is better than it's ever been. Of course most of the guys I speak to (on-line or in person) are about the life...but most "normals" could not even comprehend that all of this is possible.
I think when you get older, you just become (or should become), more zen, more centered, grounded, whatever. Also, mindset and frame are crucially important to project positive and confident energy. Women pick up on all of this and find it irresistible.

After 2 months in the Phils I was more than ready to come back, but after more than 8 months back in the States I'm even more than ready to get the hell out of here and go back to Asia. I'm experiencing a mini-crisis right now. My boss is an asshole, and I've got 4 months left on my lease here in NY. I've got 8 more months until I can get my year end bonus. The difference between leaving now vs March 2016 is financially substantial. I know I should just kiss ass and suck it up for another 8 months but it's so hard.

My current trip in Russia, girls have guessed anywhere from 28-37, although most often they say 35. I have not been able to identify why I look younger on certain days whether it be attire or energy. One variable I am sure of is rest. Late nights are the killer.
I have been telling girls I am 35 or 36 and this seems to be a sweet spot for girls in their 20s.

I was out the other night with Vaun and we opened a set. The girl (33) asks how old I am and I used the "guess". She said, 30, and I'm 44!
It was then I knew she must be completely plastered. Unfortunately I was probably more, and really tired. After a failed Hail Mary pass to take her home, I left Vaun to clean up and sure enough he did!

I actually had a larger explanation lost in edit.
When I was in a State office with about 2.5 years to make my pension
(over $1000 per month with inflation adjustments starting at 55, so it could be 35 years of collecting... 35x12,000+= ~400K+ for completing the last two years....) Literally the day I worked when I made my pension I would be in effect paid probably about 250K.
Meaning it was financially IDIOTIC to not last those 2.5 years.
I found a site where you could print a calendar-on-a-page with any amount of days you wanted.
So I printed out the 2.5 years on two pages and taped them together, I had a red pen I used only to cross out little boxes each representing a day.
Sometimes when I forgot I would pull the sheets out of the my desk and mark off 10-12 days at once! I could see the marked off area objectively growing and it made it palpable that someday I was getting OUT.
NOw here in the Philippines I see people making one dollar an hour and really feel spoiled, is it extremely hard to change your life here. Many people go overseas like to middle east and get treated like dogs to make $1000 per month in stead of $250.
I talked to a driver in Cebu who had worked in the middle east and he said he basically just never had days off, 90 hours a week.... just feeling dead all the time.
A huge amount of work has been done to make America a place you can save up a small amount of money if you don't have too many kids.
