So Lonely at the Top

Somebody is probably going to be mad at this post. At some point, after they’re done being mad, they’ll actually think about what I’m saying…


If you look at the most successful men in the world, most of them are single, divorced, or very, very late marriers. Forbes Top 12 Richest Americans had a lot of people whom inherited money. After taking them out, it’s half and half. Lawrence Ellison and Michael Bloomberg are divorced. Paul Allen is single. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Michael Dell are married. Donald Trump has been divorced a lot. Jay-Z finally settled down. European kings always had mistresses. African kings usually had more than one wife.
Why do I say all this?


Maybe a “trophy” wife is just that. She’s just there to remind you of all your achievements…or maybe where you started at. A lot of singers, rappers, athletes have traded in their “down chicks” for supposed higher class women. Once men reach a certain level of success, not only do you not have peers in your field, but can you really have a better half when you’re doing so well yourself? Pimps have a lot of women, but from what I understand they are very lonely. They can’t ever let the hoes know what they’re really thinking. They can’t let anyone get too close. Founding puas who have gotten very good at what their skills find it so easy to get what they want from women…I don’t know if they actually get to KNOW the women anymore. The courtship is more an equation to be solved compared to an interaction.


There’s a saying that you can lose a lot of money chasing women, but you’ll never lose women, chasing money. Yeah, you’ll always have women…but what if you lose THE WOMAN (if you believe “the one” exists).


When guys get married, it’s because they’ve found the right girl and they “settle” down. Did anyone catch the terminology? The subtle undertones of “settling” when getting married? Winners don’t settle. They go after what they want. They’re aggressive and ambitious. When they want to make a $1 million this year, they don’t “settle” for $80k.


I don’t want to discourage anyone from getting married. I want to be married one day (even though I desire a family with kids more than being actually married), I just don’t feel like men should compromise their goals to do so. I just want to warn guys out there trying to get better at the game. You WILL come across a lot of good women while improving out there. Will you pass up your possible soul-mate or will you “settle” down? Serious question to ask yourselves…


Play The Game Fair.

  3. Interesting post, but there are inquiries to be raised when considering how the winner never "settles". What do you suppose will happen when the winner, go-getter, paper-chaser--whatever you call it--meets the direct opposite of the trophy wife; another female who has the same drive and ambition? Will it be a clash of the titans, or can they "win" together?

  5. Devon you make a really good point. Honestly, I think it will depend on the situation. If you look at Jay-Z and Beyonce, they work very well. What you have to understand, though, is Jay was finally ready to settle down. From what I understand, there was Foxy, Amil, and a slew of other models and groupies that tried to tie him down, but none of them succeeded.

    I believe it takes a good woman, rather that be a go-getter or home maker, AND the man being ready to be in a committed relationship. That's the only way it works...
