Summary: My personal approach to the "red pill life" at 40 and beyond.
First of all a little background on myself: I'm not new to the red pill culture nor to this sub, that I'm reading and appreciating since some time. I was introduced to this world more than ten years ago by Neil Strauss "The Game" book, and participated since then to a lot of online forums and real life "gatherings": most importantly I always try to practice and incorporate the red pill principles into my everyday life as much as possible. I was born and live in Italy (medium size city in the north), and travel a lot for work (and fun) in Europe and US, so I have some knowledge about both sides of the pond. And yep, I'm approaching 40 in a few years :)
I'm breaking my silence to talk about an interesting topic, at least for me: how do you live the "red pill life" at 40 and beyond? It all depends on your values and priorities of course, that in my case are the following (in this specific order): health, money, passions. I won't talk about the first two ones as they are no-brainer, while "passions" in my case are women, travels and cars. So speaking about women, basically I need them in order to fulfill 2 (maybe 3?) needs:
Sex: Who is saying that your sex drive will fade as you get older is not aging in the right way. I take good care of my health, go to the gym, eat properly, etc... and I'm as horny as a bonobo. On average I would say that I dedicate one night per week to pick up new girls. I usually hit the 27-30 age range, with some notable exceptions on both ends. I operate mainly in clubs and bars, and also on dating apps like Tinder, etc... expecially when I'm travelling out of my country. Usually I look for a ONS, or maybe I keep meeting the same girl for one or two weeks, not much more. And sometimes I'm also not ashamed to pay an escort, when I'm too tired to go out and I just need some good sex before I can read an interesting book and finally sleep like a baby (protip: hire an escort offering GFE - "girlfriend experience" if you want to have more or less the same experience of your typical ONS with a random girl picked up at the bar).
Intimacy/Affection/Romance/etc...: Yeah I know, you are thinking I'm talking like an old man. At 20 I absolutely didn't give a f**k about it, at 30 I almost didn't give a f**k about it, but now that I'm approaching 40 I honestly enjoy having a special person in my life with whom I can have a good conversation, share the pleasures of life (besides sex), and stuff like that (Gordon Gekko would not agree with me - "If you need a friend, get a dog."). So I'm in a LTR. Usually these LTRs last a couple of years, sometimes three, then they begin to fade: I think it's totally natural. No, my LTR doesn't know anything about point 1), no "open relationship" bulls**it. No, I don't think my LTR is doing the same. If she is doing the same, I would prefer not to know about it. If I would know about it, game over. Double standards? Yep, I embrace them. We all know men are women are not equal, but complementary, and sex with other people has a very different meaning for men and women.
Procreation: I'm not there yet, but I'm starting to evaluate pros, cons and possibilities. What I know for sure is that I will marry only and if I want to have children. I will not marry for "love", companionship or any other reason. Basically the plan could be to slow down the rhythm of 1) and "upgrade" 2) to 3). The problem is that the selection criteria for 2) are not necessarily good for 3), so maybe it's better to select the future mother of your children with specific and totally different criteria. Not easy to pinpoint exactly these criteria though, in the current social and political situation here in the West.
Conclusion: I believe I didn't say nothing new, actually it's more or less the old school approach of "one wife and a mistress (or more) on the side". I look forward to get some feedback and suggestions from other "adult" redpillers.
