I thought I should open a thread, cause his advice is simply brilliant. While, negs and acting ****y may work in the short run, for a few affairs with silly girls, it´s your value as a men that will get you the best girls. Beautiful, intelligent, successful women.

So here it goes:

How common it is today to be married or getting married before we've realized any of our potential. The longer you remain uncommitted, the more opportunities will be available to you. It's been stated by wiser Men than I that women are dream-killers - and while I agree with this, I'd say this is due more to the man involved, and their own complicity and apathy, than some grand scheme of women.

It's actually in women's best interest that you don't commit to them for a variety of reasons. I realize how counterintuitive that reads, but in your being so readily available you decrease your value as a commodity to them. Scarcity increases value, and particularly when the reason for that scarcity is something that serves another's interest (hers in this example). The mid-20s Man pursuing his ambition to become an attorney in law school or the pre-med intern spending long hours at the hospital with aspirations of becoming a doctor is hindered and encumbered with the complications that maintaining a monogamous relationship necessitates of him. His time and efforts need to be applied toward acheiving his goals to become an even higher value Man - not just in terms of financial success but for his own edification and confidence. Needless to say, the constraints and obligations that maintaining a monogamous relationship require - both in time and emotional investment - make achieving these ambitions far more difficult.

I tend to promote the idea that Men should be sexually and emotionally non-exclusive until age 30, but this is a minimal suggestion. I think 35 may even serve better for Men. The importance being that as a Man ages and matures in his career, his ambitions and passions, his personality, his ability to better judge character, his overall understanding of behavior and motivations, etc. he becomes more valuable to the most desirable women and therefore enjoys better opportunity in this respect. Women's sexual value decreases as they age and the balance tips into the older Man's favor. It's the Men who realize this early and understand that bettering themselves in the now will pay off better in the future while still enjoying (and learning from) the opportunities that come from being non-exclusive and non-commital make him a Man that women will compete for in the long term.

In your mid-20s you are at the apex of your potential with regards to the direction you will influence your life to go. I'm not going to make any friends by pointing this out, but what pisses off most "serial monogamists" is the unspoken regret of having assumed the responsibilities, liabilities and accountability of what monogamy demands before they truly understood their potential.

Women should only ever be a compliment to a man's life, never the focus of it.

I was thinking something similar last night. If I had a girlfriend living in my house I wouldn't have time to research all the stuff I want.

I might be accused of being a personal and spiritual development-aholic.
A lot of the things I'm learning are quite personal and can't really be discussed with everybody. I can't even discuss some things about my personal developmenton this site.

There are 2 points I would like to make though.
Like Rollo said, no emotional or sexual exclusivity before age 30. I do have to ask if there aren't a few things one could only learn in an LTR. Like for example if a girlfriend accuses you of cheating, you will have to know how to react. That's something I'd like to get some experience on before I am 30. I think it's part of being a Don Juan to be able to avert these accusations.

Secondly, if when you're 30 you want to start suddenly looking for an LTR, all the good girls might already be taken! You'll be stuck with all the damaged goods!

Or do you say it'll be twice as easy to attract a nice 25-year old? Most girls start 'rotting' on the inside once they're about 18, imo. Their ego's get inflated out of proportion and by the time they're 25 they'll have turned bitter because of all the let-downs from the ******* guys they dated.

And if they find a decent guy, well then she's out of the dating pool...

I agree with this in spirit, but not literally. Generally speaking, it's probably best for most guys to keep themselves non-exclusive/keep thier options open while they build their empire.

But I wouldn't want to be a 35 year old guy and say I've never had a real girlfriend. I wouldn't want to start learning about how to have a LTR at age 35. Spin plates mostly, I agree. But if you meet a nice girl you like, try some monogamy now and then, it won't kill you. Try different things, get experience in different things. How else can you decide what you want to do with your life?

The other thing is, I don't necessarily agree that having a regular girlfriend is more time consuming than spinning plates. It depends on how vigorously you go about either one. If you have your plates stacked high enough, that could be way more time consuming than a LTR.

^^^ Yes!

If I compare the most recent time when I was spinning 3 plates, to the time immediately following, when I dropped them to be exclusive with one other girl, it was a relief! I felt like I was burning out with these plates.

It was nonstop: phone calls to figure out plans, bars, clubs, sex, hangover, repeat with next girl.

Then I got a girlfriend and it turned into about 2 nights/week going out, 1 or 2 nights/week relaxing at home or her house, and the other nights on my own doing my own thing. I rediscovered sleep. It was nice.

OP, thanks for posting Rollo's post. Very good read!
