This is Not a Success Story

Now that I’ve told you a little be about my past, do not think for a moment that my future is secure. In my opinion, I haven’t accomplished much more than removing myself from a life of catastrophic poverty. I’ve made some money along the way–but not enough to own an aircraft carrier or self-fund intergalactic war on behalf of the human race, for example. I am still young, only 36. It’s an interesting age, mind you. It’s old in the sense that you’re not supposed to be single (which I am not) or venture out to degenerate bars/clubs whoring for women any longer. But in the business world, 36 is the age when most men start to make their fortunes.

Traditionally, men work hard from 25-50, then enjoy a life of leisure until they are dead, leaving only a legacy and money in memoriam.

“The Fly” intends to work smart much more than hard, as it is his birth right to enjoy the superfluities of excess before the decrepit age of 50. While most of you punch clocks and shovel manure into fields of tomatoes, Le Fly is sipping on a small glass of sherry, listening to his favorite classical pieces.

    You nailed it on 36 and the bar scene.

    Kudos to your persistence and never giving up on what you want.

      A very smart person once told me if you’re not married by 30, you’ve been filtered out by society.

      Most men can’t commit due to mental illness and women, who are single after 30, are scorned.

        I’d say 37-42 for men, but 30-32 for women. I know it’s unfair, but guys do have more time without the biological clock issue. Plus, 20 something women prefer 30 something guys since their maturity levels are similar and they often make more coin, which is pretty sweet for guys.

          20 something women have similar levels compared to 30 something men?
          Sorry, but with the onslaught of arrested development, staring at cell phones all day, dumbed down college scores and insipid television / media fare I have to disagree.

        These things may be true, on average. But there are a fair number of people who do things in non-average ways. Oportunities get less after a certain age, but they still are there for those who look for them– both in romance & in business.

        Damn…finally folks that have a similar opinion to mine. I have said this for years but most say it is just mean to have that opinion. They site various reasons why some do not get married, etc and say it isn’t necessarily their fault. I have always believed there are certian goals/milestones that one should achieve or get to by the time you reach a certain age. Not to say that they have to be perfect on when the are achieved but they should be working towards it.

      I agree that people think that. They will be attending their kids high school graduation with an oxygen tank and a walker.

    Screw getting married.

    If you want a companion, get a dog. If you want to get laid, heat up a punctured grapefruit in the microwave filled with lube.

    No emotional baggage.
