Most of the 10 years was spent in war zones but about two years was spent in Romania, Tashkent, Jordan, and the UAE. My salary ranged from 84k a year to upwards of 240K. I went to an Ivy League school and played football for three years but wasn’t a starter or anything.
I like to travel and I like foreign girls but after 10 years of being abroad I came home last year and set up shop in Vegas. I now am profoundly unhappy, jaded, intellectually blighted, and disillusioned. I own some duplexes which net me about 5000 a month after all the hassle and have a boring ass contract gig which grosses me about another 4500 a month. The contract gig is not in my wheelhouse but I leveraged my security clearance and IT background and get task orders from a prime contractor.
I went all out when I got home. I read the books and felt that the key to women are cars, nice pads, and flashy shit so I leased a Porsche Cayman, got a swanky high rise on the strip for 1600 a month, and joined the country club. I thought I would have 8s throwing themselves at me left and right and I would be the man. I am not. I am leveraged to the max, normally dateless, and pissed off.
I would think that a 33 year old good looking black guy that is well educated and legit would get tons of babes but I was wrong. I feel intellectually and culturally disconnected here. Vegas is an immoral blue collar service based economy where education and worldliness are not valued.
In LA being a Talent Acquisition Specialist for Sony is more important than being a Special Assistant at the World Bank. In DC it is reversed. In New York it’s all about high finance—Ibankers and traders. In Vegas, it’s about…being a host at a club or being a good gambler. I have nothing of value—or no social currency-- to offer the women here.
In DC I always had dates with attractive foreign women and cute State Dept maidens; in Vegas the strippers have stood me up more times than I can count. I still get 9s 2x ayear—check out my FB if you want bonafides—but they are $350 a date girls and I am literally spending all my cash each month. Not hookers, but dinner on the strip with wine is 225 and the shows are about 120 for two tickets. Stupid.
Admittedly, I have limited game. I am sociable but sterile and at times my arrogance is palpable. My game was based upon my status that was discernable from my speech, clothes, and mannerisms. In Vegas they don’t respect a straight arrow like me. I thought that rolling around in Porsche would get me laid but it doesn’t.
In Europe and in the UAE I had model quality (and decent) women coming out of my ears. In Vegas I am getting fatties, flakes, and women who want a man to pay their rent.
Any advice.
Your writing style suggest it was written by a girl
Genre: Informal
Female = 1075
Male = 812
Difference = -263; 43.03%
Verdict: Weak FEMALE
Weak emphasis could indicate European.
Thanks. I really appreciate that. Maybe if I change my effeminate diction the pole dancers will stop standing me up.
The gamergate trolls are on full display. Interesting set up.
If you aren't a troll, here's some honest advice:
Read Bang, Day Bang, and only spend $5 on your dates. Approach 1000 times until something sticks.
Don't talk about money, "personal achievements", and obviously don't brag. No one cares about what your credentials, security clearances, and your job. Seriously, that HB8 you're pining over probably was banging a guy with 2 baby mommas. /sarcasm
And finally, this post deserves to be in the newbie forum.

He was an intelligent, educated, accomplished man that didn't quite fit in. The usual paths just didn't seem to be working, everything just seemed fake and superficial and meaningless. But he was smart enough to realize that if a bullshit currency has value with the people you need, it gains value for you. In addition to his respectable 6 figure day job, he became a doorman at a popular night club. He has good at it (weight lifting and martial arts fanatic, good attitude, good demeanor). He tended to get gigs at the most exclusive places in town, with the hottest talent. He was a rational man, in an irrational world, so he carved out a place for himself where he got rewarded for doing rational things he was good at and loved to do (being the warrior-protector archetype). None of the normal club posturing and douchebaggery had ever made any sense to him, so he found a place there that made sense, but was still surrounded by beautiful women. He suddenly got an entirely irrational amount of high quality ass for the job he was doing.
If society is valuing club hosts and the illusory power of a doorman over the skills that make a civilized society function, you've got to figure out a strategy that gets the best out of both worlds.
Actually, that's a great idea...it's not my our game we just have to play it. I actually considered working at Tao as security when the govt shut down last year and I had no second income for like 6 months.
I am thinking of starting a club related business too...just gotta find a reliable wordpress programmer.

RE: Regional Differences and the Failings of a 114k Millionaire:
Black guy that prefers EE women.
- made money
- had "important" job
- used "World Game" to score with EE women
Calihunter gave the best advice, Move.
To find an attractive white girl that LIVES in Vegas, and you have a low status job, and comparatively you're broke...
You either need to target the hot tourists that come through, and come up with a good back story if you need to.
Or you need to move out of provider game and get into that skinny hot white girl without fake tits social circle. I don't know Vegas, but high end strippers have down time.
As for your verbal skills, all that time yapping to bitches that barely speak English has hurt your chance to develop game required for American bitches.
And you'll need to up your physical fitness game, as well as your dress code.
The sneak route is to enroll in Henderson Community College

Actually, if I had my druthers I would date a black chick or a Latina. Most of them are not into guys like me. My mom is EE and I seem to understand those women the best.
As to me being broke, it's all relative. I am a 112k a millionaire...remember that Vegas is cheap aside from the strip.
I can't fly private but i have taken two LA girls off millionairematch to Thailand for a week in the last 4 months  . I dress well and dont look like a chump.
I think you got me twisted bruh....I look like the ex college football flanker player I am.

No one with with that kind of smarts is going to make such poor financial decisions. With a place on the strip he should be rolling in pussy from tourists, but we get a sob story about dropping 3.5 bills per date for a shot at banging.
Financial acumen and book smarts are not always correlated. In fact, it's about 50/50. I like nice things...what's credit vard debt when I can take a gig in Kabul for three months and come back with 60k)
I also only date high maintenance polished women. The kind of girls I like are quasi in the game and are used to interacting with men of gravitas. The game you speak of does not really work since both Floyd and Julio Iglasiacs are texting mutiple times a day.
I think my probelem is that I am purising women out of my financial league.
