I think it is 'for real'.
I had some more time to think about the scenario, and I think this may very well be 'real' and shows a growing problem. We all knew the problem has been growing but I always thought there would be an upper limit on how bad it would get. (Women only wanting 'top men' that are high in all areas of importance to women.)
My first reaction, for the reasons listed above, there has to be something wrong with the guy, since how can a guy with this background and ability need to do this, but after thinking more about it, I realize that it very well could be all true.
More points upon reflection:
1: He appears to be looking for a LTR, not an ONS. That is why I think he specified the time for the relationship of at least six months. I also think that he is probably looking for a woman that is marriage material and suitable mother for children that he might want to have later. In that case, where he is now 29 years old, and has not found someone, I can see why he would offer money to find someone within the next few years, especially if he wants to have children in his early to mid 30s, that way his kids are through college before he retires. Anyone waiting until their 40s to have children are still going to be dealing with raising them in retirement when they are over 60, and may not have the energy to enjoy them or do everything with them that parents should do.
If that is what he is looking for, then he might be looking for a 'unicorn' in today's environment, hence the need to offer $10K to anyone that can find such a woman.
2: We know from other sources that high income appears to becoming of little to no use in pulling high value women, and even the best men with high incomes plus game have their women 'flake' on them for no apparent reason after a while and the relationship is dead. I remember one of the ROK articles about the guy that arranged an apartment and car (BMW class) for a former Miss Mexico and sued her in court after she left him for a MMA fighter. (I think the guy is not going to win the lawsuit and suing is just a further fail on his part.) I also remember a comment from one person about how their sister had the opportunity to marry into a very wealthy family, like top 1%, but turned the guy down because 'she felt she could do better'. There was also the story about the law school student who started an intense exercise regime to build muscle mass to get back with a former girlfriend because she said that is ‘what she wanted in a man’. He ended up spending months doing nothing but school and working out; only to have her leave him after a few months because she was bored or something. (One possible explanation with game principals, is that by doing so much, just for her, while he was building muscle, it was taken and felt by her as ‘beta behavior’ because he was only doing it for her because she wanted him to. As we all know, that just made her lose the 'tingles' for him and leave him. He should have made it clear it was to get other women also, not just for her. I think he needed to be ‘spinning plates’ in order to have ‘kept her in her place’ if he didn’t want her to leave him.)
3: I think this situation shows just how bad women may becoming in the west with the standards of what they expect a man to be in order for them to be with him. I had thought for the last few years that these ‘rising expectations’ of women would not continue to rise, but I think this may be one of the first situations showing that these expectations are rising (or have already risen) to the level such that soon, no man will be able to meet them. If that happens I expect flaking will always be happening also.
There have been other threads that mentioned or shows this rising expectations problem. Roosh use to tell women who complained that they could not get the man they wanted that they needed to improve themselves or lower their own expectation of what they could reasonably expect to get for a man. Instead, one poster said that he knew a woman that had lower SMV due to aging (late 20s?) who said that ‘she is not lowering her price’ and was still alone with no one. We also have the poster who related that he got a date from one of the online sites, I think OKC or Tinder, and told the guy she had some ridiculous amount of contacts/emails/winks/nudges, likes, 2,800+. The problem is that getting picked by her to even go on a date is more like random luck since there is no way she could even glance at all of the contacts. (Looking at each contact for 15 seconds each would take over 11 hours. There is no way anyone would bother doing that so if a guy gets picked out of that many contacts, while partly how he looks and such, it is also partly luck since she probably didn’t even bother to look at 90%+ of the attempted contacts.)
4: His attitude may change over time on what he wants. If things are really getting that bad for anyone wanting a LTR, then I think this guys attitude may change over time as to what he wants or expects will be possible. The one thing I do NOT want to see, is that in ten years he gets ‘divorce raped’ because he settled for some ‘land whale’ (or woman who became a land whale once they had a few kids).
5: I think a lot of men look at this as unbelievable because if this guy, with all of his looks, money, potential, is having this kind of problem finding a good LTR, then what chance does the typical guy have? The answer of course, is almost none, if you want only a LTR. Unless someone is a multi millionaire or a movie star with the looks and money; but it looks like those things are not working anymore. Game helps so you do not end up alone, but it looks like women (at least in the West) may be becoming so bad off with things like iPhones, attention whoring, etc. that there is nothing that can be done.
6: His personality. I do not think it matters, since as we all here know, the bigger a jerk a guy is, the better he does with women. Even IF he ‘has’ asperser’s, it didn’t stop him from developing his body or completing a MBA at Harvard. I even question if asperser is really a ‘disorder’ and more of a category of people, since a lot of the men who are ‘diagnosed’ with it, sort of like the ADHD ‘diagnoses’ where the doctor wants to start up the medicine cabinet full of pills for the ‘disorder’.
I think the problem is that we may be seeing a new level to which the women in the West have been ruined. If this is the case, we will know because we will start to see more and more of these situations, where men of top quality are unable to find someone suitable for marriage and the ones that do, only could marry because they found a ‘unicorn’. If this is the case, then I also expect we will see marriage rates drop more and divorce rates rise more, until it reaches the point where marriage is rare and almost everyone that did marry gets divorced.
7: What to do? I have no idea. While I have known things were bad and getting worse for years, I never thought it would come to this. I do not know what is going to come next but I do not expect it will be good.
