I'm 47 and live in Chile, South America. I was an exchange student back in the early 90's and I also studied English Literature. Later on I worked for over a year at L.A.'s Sunset Strip and decided to come back to Chile to become a Software Engineer.

I do not expect to find a life partner, because I know it’s a rigged game. I love beauty, I enjoy sex and I think loving someone is one of the most beautiful feelings (if not the most) although I also believe that it lasts, at the most, 3 years. Interesting conversations are definitely a plus, but not much more than that.

Unlike most men, I did not suffer abuse from women, nor did I had my family taken away by a court, or went bankrupt due to a divorce. On the very contrary: all my experiences with stable girlfriends were great, but that was until year 2007.

Back when I was 30, I was just about to get married to the “girl of my dreams”, but I got severely sick and decided to part with her due to that reason and others, but I still felt “in love” with her after 3 years.

During the time I was sick I never looked to establish a LTR, for my protection and theirs, but I had a few partners who I shared several months of my life with. Without knowing it, my philosophy with women was always red-pill, but not in the way of a PUA; I’ve always just played the “truth game” as I call it. If they shit-tested me I always called them out or ended the relationship right then and there and never put up with any kind of abuse. I’ve never really feared being on my own.

Fast forward to 12 years later and I now find myself healthy again, in my 40’s. One of the first things I did with my life was think about my potential future with a woman, but I thought “hold on!” and did extensive research; I looked, read the statistics, some studies and a couple of books. By now, most of my friends are either married or divorced, and I can honestly say that not a single one of them has a life I would like to live. Complaints are usually about working their asses off in order to keep their wife happy so she doesn’t nag them and have some peace, and maybe, just maybe, some pity sex. My divorced friends are another topic; most of them on the brink of bankruptcy and they live to finance their ex-wives who took their homes and kids. Oh, and those decent and high-SMV female seem to have vanished.

Later this year, I started studying about heterosexual relationships on this modern age, and after a while I came to the conclusion that there just isn’t much material to rely on that specific subject, but you can derive several answers from socio-political phenomena that are occurring right now, namely radical feminism and social networks.

I had a previously published book about my time with the illness, and I decided to make my second book, currently in writing, a guide for men who find themselves single again in these rough times, and seek a woman’s company; be it for a one night stand, dating or even getting married again. The rules have changed, and you can either adapt and take advantage, or rely on old strategies that no longer work with women, especially if they’re under 35.

Glad to be here :).
