A common question I've been seeing in the past six months is guys asking me which country or city they should visit. Many guys are taking their first international trip and want to make it a success, especially since they may only get one opportunity a year. While I completely understand this desire, their question can not be reasonably answered. There are simply too many individual variables involved. When you ask someone on the internet which country he should visit, chances are he does not know your appearance, personality, game style, vibe, strengths, weaknesses, age, career background, social ability, level of Read More

Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors was released twenty-five years ago this week. Not only is it arguably his most artistically accomplished work, but it also dramatizes a red pill view of life and male-female relationships. The film was the twenty-third Allen had written after What's New Pussycat (1965), so he was some way into his career at its conception. By the early 2000's, before his habit of putting out a movie a year led to a string of less-than stellar productions like 2003's Anything Else or 2004's Miranda and Miranda, it was common to divide his output into “the early, funny Read More

The time will come with age and wisdom that you will find yourself in a situation where your work or your trade will be the engine, the “Flux Capacitor” of your life. All financial resources will derive from your profession, all material assets will be begotten from that career, and your entire standard of living will depend on how well you do it.

So the increasingly irrelevant Noble Peace Prize was recently given out, and it came as a surprise to no one that the 2014 peace prize was shared by a 17-year-old Pakistani-born girl named Malala Yousafzai. For those of you (fortunate few) who haven't heard of her, Malala is a supposed advocate for girls rights to education in any and all cultures and societies in the world. She became internationally famous when, in 2012 at the age of 15, a member of the fanatical Muslim religious group, the Taliban, tried to shoot her in the head. Malala was wounded, but the shooter's Read More

Expat Chronicles In 1914 the Panama Canal was lauded as the largest engineering project in history. A century later there is a new contender that, if completed, will take the title. The Nicaragua Canal is an ambitious project plans to cut a waterway three times longer (175 miles) and 150% deeper and wider than the Panama Canal and carry 2.5 times the capacity. It also includes building tourist centers, five-star hotels complete with golf courses, an international airport in a free trade zone, new highways running alongside the canal, two deep-water ports, and an artificial lake to support the water needs for Read More
