At this moment in my life I'm very focused on business so I would hesitate to live with people who don't share those kinds of goals.
Totally with you. Don't have anything against PUA's, just feel like I've moved beyond that. Sex just happens, I don't really look for it anymore.
But business... that's where my head's at 24/7.
My vision of what I would personally want to be involved with would look something like this:

Albeit less on the uber luxury side and more cost effective.
The goal would be to allow bright people with similar values about independence, lifestyle, and a fierce disdain for authority to create or maintain their location independent businesses. I don't know if there exists demand for this, but the way that there are startup incubators the community could act like a "muse incubator."
In this community the residents could discuss issues related to creating and running their online businesses, strategies for collaborating on new projects, and share any advice they have. It would be like a traditional startup incubator in that it is a place where entrepreneurs get together and toss ideas around and work together. It would differ in the scale and purpose of the companies being created or run.
What I feel would be useful is if some sort of mentor system were set up so that people who have successfully started their own muse could help others do the same thing. It could be a "muse boot camp" in the same way that PUAs run boot camps for their stuff.
A lot of what prevents people from getting their muse and new lifestyle off the ground is backlash from the douches in their life and a lack of a coherent social network that encourages them to take the step towards freedom. Taking 1-2 months off to intensively train oneself in the art of muse creation with a bunch of people who have done it is something I personally strongly desire - and I would be willing to pay for results.
Candidate Profiles:
-The recent graduate who wants to take two months off in Thailand and see if he can start up a lifestyle business. He saved up 3K - he will spend 1K on the round trip ticket, 1K on all total living expenses, and 1K on any costs he needs to start up his muse. Guys who have proven success in the world of muse creation could swing by to give bootcamps, lectures, forums, etc, as a means of contributing to the community, making fees from consulting and speaking, and getting kudos for being the startup mentor of future wildly successful muses.
-The bitter 34 year old who just quit his 80 hour a week corporate law job. He decides he has to escape for a while and find a new means of living his life. Fortunately he has read 4HWW and has extensive legal and consulting experience. He comes to the "muse incubator" and lives there for however long he wants, creating his own muse while helping out other members of the community.
If such thing existed and could provide me with some guarantee that, at the end of my stay, I would have a sustainable muse, I would do it in a heartbeat.
That's the kind of community I'm looking for. I'll call it "muse incubator."
Again, to each his own - I think the PUA thing is cool too, just not really on the top of my to-do list at this stage in my life.
