Very much to the contrary. I can’t ever see myself getting married again. But if the point of coaches book is to successfully win over a high quality woman why would you not want to keep that high quality woman? It would be like someone writing a book on how to become a ten percenter (defined as assets of a million dollars or more) if you learned the writer of that book achieved that but is now bankrupt, would you follow his advice? To me finding and dating the type of woman the coach advocates is only the first part - keeping her interested and engaged and as your GF over the long-term is the next challenge. That doesn’t mean it has to be forever but the guy who keeps the R going for many years might be the true 3 percent man versus the guy who uses her for a few months to maybe a year at most and has a dozen failed Rs in his wake. That’s success? Perhaps at age 25 it is, not so much at age 55. Just my belief. So if three percent dude has had the same lady for 5 years I’d look at him very differently than if 15 women figured him out over those five years and dumped his butt.

My beef with OLD is it’s filled with so many misfit, rejects along with the rinse and repeat daters. My best dates and Rs have come offline, by far, not even close. I still maintain the best ones are off the market and have been for many years. There’s a reason they are.

Hope that clears it up.
