I do believe G has some kind of money, and I do believe he grew up in California to an Italian family. That seemed realistic enough given his posts here over the years. As for how much he's really swooped or traveled, remains a mystery... I will say much of his advice is gold, he was preaching the suit long before it got cool again.

G is all about style over substance. That's what you gotta remember with him. However, style is far more important than substance when it comes to getting laid, so his attitude and demeanor are ultimately good things for men.

G also always styled himself as a super cool masculine liberal guy, and I remember pressuring him quite often about how he could be left-wing when they were the ones clamping down on nightlife, smoking, and so many other freedoms important to men. He couldn't give a good answer.

Then, when Trump rolled around, G was a major Trump hater. His posts during the election were incoherent, a mixture of anger, confusion, and disbelief. But it seems now that the election is over, he has come to terms with Trump and has either understood the follies of his previous politics or simply buried his cognitive dissonance under 12 drinks a night.

His political struggles also mirror what I've always believed to be true of him, as an Italian Californian from a family of at least modest wealth. Italians were always Dem, same with California being the hip cool edgy leftist place. But ultimately, the cool edgy leftists were from a different era of 60 years ago, and has nothing to do with today. Today's leftists are the Soy he mocks relentlessly, and the Right edge is way sharper than the Left edge.

A lot of the G Manifesto character is nothing more than a Godfather character turned into a posting account, but the actual real man of the G is himself from a family at least loosely associated with Italian mafia. That is how he can relate and create his persona, drawing from pop culture references of Italians meshed with his real world knowledge of places, custom suits, surfing, and boxing.

@Samseau:

I've told him before on Twitter that I see him more as a surrealist artist, or a satirical comedic poet, than anything. Since he apparently doesn't like to talk about his real life or background at all, he's become this impish, disembodied spirit, floating in space like some kind of celestial muse.

Plus, I just like that style of humor: wild and crazy.

The only thing I'm sad about is that he never posts here any more. Maybe he finds the medium of Twitter more congenial to his style. Maybe he doesn't want to deal with other people in a forum-style setting.

And since I know he's reading this--I see you, G--I really hope he'll just humor us by dropping in and throwing us a few bones.

For old times' sake.

Looking at G's writing style, it's amazing you guys haven't noticed That certain Cheeky style for such a long time. Maybe I've spent too much time on the internet if I can notice it. He's like Bronze Age Pervert https://mobile.twitter.com/bronzeagemantis?lang=de , Chuck Tingle or Fascist Fitness. You visit those profile and you'll be one step away from riding out all oiled up with your Hellenistic compatriots, horsing around with some hard bud buckaroos on a buffallo range in Minnessotta or road battling boomer dads named Dave. Warning: no soy or swooping allowed when you visit these accounts.

I remember reading his posts when i first signed up. It seemed plain to me he was a bullshit artist and massive troll, I wondered how he and a few others at the time had such high reps etc. I remember him saying something about another member not understanding where he was coming form; he explained that he was used to attending and rubbing shoulders with heads of state, models, rappers etc. He said things like this all the time and people took him seriously and kept feeding him.

If he is such a baller why is he making weird ass websites about places, life, nightclubs, women etc that it is obvious he has never even seen or been to.

It actually makes me question a few hi rep'd members and how they got there.

We have an unofficial system already for addressing this issue...

A lot of us hi rep'd members are available to, and often do, meet other guys from the RVF on a constant basis (G not being an example of one of them, obviously). Easy way to ease any suspicions you have.

I've personally met around 40 or 50 other members, I'd say, and there are a handful of members I've had a real life friendship with for a few years now. I've conducted business with members quite a few times. Two have spent time living in my home in California - two others have come traveling with me and stayed at a local friend's home with me in Northern Thailand. There are others I meet with on a regular basis for coffee, food, or shisha.

And I know a lot of other guys who've been posting here for years have done the same.

My point is that if you're going to make vague assertions about the membership here, be specific so we can ease your suspicions for you. Or just get out there like some of us do and meet up in the real world - it would be pretty hard for someone to feign an online personality in person. The real world component is arguably the most valuable aspect of the forum, and if you're not taking advantage of that, it's a bit unfair to criticize only the online dimension without taking that into account.

G is a special case because he certainly made grand assertions and refused to meet with anyone. I wouldn't say that immediately makes a guy full of shit, but I would probably take what they said with a grain or two of salt. That's common sense.

Personally, I just found him to be highly entertaining. Possibly an authentic personality. Possibly isn't.

Not really worth wasting much time and emotion trying to sort it out either way, in my opinion.

My advice? Lighten up a bit.
