How tall is NS?
It might be a red pill moment for some if Style is resurrected and he receives payment from semi-incel young men, wanting to hack the SMP to subsidise the tribute he will be paying his ex-wife.

Its one thing gaming a girl, and getting her for a lay. But maintaining a relationship, especially a marriage in this day and age you need to be someone who has a clear picture of the gender sexual dynamics.

Never had the looks, but made a lot of money packaging and selling McGame happy meals to dreamers with the support of the ((media)) that made him famous.
His status has waned and she can get her hands on a lot of his wealth without having to be with him now.

Neil was, is and always will be a fraud. His book was still decent, but if it weren't for the circles he traveled in as a wll regarded music journalist he wouldn't have a fraction of the opportunity his career created for him. In other words, all things being equal, if he was Neil Straus the generic transactional atty making 350k a year he'd get a lot less action despite making a healthy wage

Strauss is a minor celebrity. Most celebrity marriage don't work. There are reasons on both sides:
1). The "celebrity spouse" is marrying a lifestyle more than a person. When day-to-day reality sets in, it's often unpleasant, because they realize they're sharing the celebrity's attention with a lot of others. If they married the celebrity more for money and fame than love, that makes it worse.
2). The celebrity himself (or herself) becomes dissatisfied with the spouse they marry because celebrities thrive on LOTS of attention. When that attention gets whittled down to coming from just one person, it feels claustrophobic and isolating.

One of the most famous and, at least if his own account is to be believed, skilled PUAs of his day could not even manage to keep his American wife happy enough to save the marriage. Granted, the level of game required was not as high back then and he did operate primarily in places that are known to be loose and easy (Las Vegas, Hollywood/LA, Serbia, etc.) but his results were still impressive for the time and he was for all intents and purposes a professional pleaser and entertainer of women. So, if even he cannot manage to pull it off, what are normal men and even mid-level red pill guys supposed to think about their realistic odds of having a decent married life in their home country at any point in the future?
That is what the optimistic and idealistic part of me wants to think. The realistic side of me knows that 99% of guys will do everything they can to stay asleep until enough of the ship has been submerged that, even if they make a last-minute attempt to swim away from the wreck, there is no way that the mass of the ship will not pull them under with it.
There may also be something to be said for the destructive potential of an out-of-control pornography and internet addiction here as he apparently did blow a lot of money on cam girls that could have been spent on more fulfilling things.
