True, loneliness and lonesomeness are quite different things. Most single beta males languish in the former category. The men who thrive in the latter are not really the alphas but the sigmas.

[@philip4193]

I agree; the most lonely and rudderless I have ever felt in my entire life was when I was in a bad & destructive LTR some 20 yrs ago, and had been relegated to a submissive beta male "by a thousand concessions" by a manipulative and broken woman who I wrongly thought I loved. Fast-forward now to my early 50's, and I have come to the conclusion that I am now the happiest and most content that I have ever been in my life, left alone to do my own thing and pursue my own goals, and essentially live my own life to the best of my abilities to choose my friends, associates and sexual partners at my own discretion. Thing is, I currently have several different women in my life (Richard terms it as "spinning plates" I believe) so am certainly not sexless nor living a cloistered existence. and have an active social life through my work and many sports and hobbies. I have simply embraced the idea of living my own life on my own terms and inviting only like-minded others into my frame, whether they be friends, associates or women I wish to have compliment my life. I kinda subconsciously worked much of this stuff out over the past decade or so through trial and error, however Richard's book and videos have crystallised all this into a tangible resource for reference and have validated my life choices. . Thankyou Richard!.

Heard a stat that for the first time in history, 50% of women over 30 in the US are single and childless, so I wouldn't say they 'usually' have kids. Years ago when I did internet dating at least half didn't. Those at 35 or up with no kids are professionally single anyway. Then of course if a man has been married he probably also has kids. Then there's the overlooked factors of the probability of those kids already having fathers and no you don't need to assume responsibility or try to. Then there's the fact you should not live together unless you want to risk your income and assets, so those kids of hers are not making noise or mess for you to deal with. Not true men over 25 find it difficult to get young women. To begin with that includes 26 yr olds. It's social circles that get smaller as you age if you're not extravert, making it difficult to meet people in real life. Women liking older men isn't an issue if they are in shape.

They always wanted a 10. These days they just don't have to accept painful sex with a guy they aren't physically attracted to, since they can earn their own money. Everyone wants a partner they are attracted to. That's just life. You either genuinely attract someone you like based on your own traits or you have to pay money for someone to pretend to be attracted to you. No getting around that. Both sexes need to accept things for what they are. Both the unattractive men complaining that women have stopped pretending to like them and the unattractive women complaining that they have to pay for a 10 to show them interest the same way that men have done for millenia. If women care that much about hooking up with a 10, they can hire a male hooker.

Small correction: you were a 'nice' guy. Nice guys are not so nice. Most of them have an agenda. Women intuitively know this. How would you feel knowing the women you met were 'nice' women, who were only after the bulge in your pants (I mean your wallet)? I'm sure you would be disgusted. There are WAY too many guys on YT who say their women left them when the money dried up. In school, first you get the lesson, then you get the test. In life, first you get the test, then you get the lesson. And the test will be repeated until you learn the lesson. My rules are to be 1) polite, honest, & direct. 2) my words & actions MUST ALIGN. A nice add on is -do not trash others, and put yourself first. I found that if you follow rules 1 & 2, the add on happens on its own.
