I met this man that I have to tell you all about. He is in his mid 50s now. University prof at a global top 10 university (science subject). Never married, no children. Intense look, chiselled face and body, perhaps an aura a bit like Dr House. Perfect dgaf attitude. He is wealthy, educated, cultured, was good looking all his life, still is, and decided this is the way he wants to live.

He spends half the year travelling and has done so for decades. Knows all the best bars in all main cities. Knows good whores everywhere. Smokes cigars. Sometimes does not leave bed all day. Other days has research ideas and makes drafts in random bars. He is very good at his work, even though he does not spend a lot of time doing it. He never hits on women and never goes on dates. He avoids them whenever possible, except for the occasional prostitute.

Amazingly, he makes no secrets about his lifestyle. In fact most of his colleages know about it, and secretly get advice on whores from him. He seems to get away with it all, respecting carefully the red lines drawn by the law and his university. In conversation he is remarkably clear about his opinion on women and marriage when asked.

Yes, he has enemies. But then he also has friends, and very good friends at that, sufficiently many of them that he finds good company for his expensive dinners whereever he goes. With this guy, the brotherhood is real.

I don't try to tell you that you should be like him, for many of us that would not end well. But what I am telling you is that if you look for mgtow role models you need not go back all the way to Diogenes or Kirkegaard. They exist amongst us. And boy are they wonderful to see.
