I had other priorities after a breakup that consumed my energies and attention.

What were those priorities?

Building a business and helping a sick family member. Both kind of draining.

How long ago was that break up?

4 years ago

Which # relationship ( 104 ) was it?

Not sure what 104 means. If you mean the chronological order of my serious relationships, it was 2nd.

Why did y'all break up?

Disagreements on big issues like kids, geography, etc.


Additionally,

Do you consider yourself a feminist?

No. IME, they tend to be bad vibes and purport to be about choice but have very strong opinions about how other women should live their lives.

Who are you voting for this election?

They're both not very inspiring candidates and I am increasingly disillusioned with politics. The craft is dead. Will probably vote Democrat.

What are your thoughts on SAHMs?

I think it's a great option if a woman has the luxury to afford to do so. Nothing like a mother's touch. Whenever I see SAHM's getting a lot of grief it smacks of other women trying to impose their own ideas. These are old/tired debates though.

Answers in italics. Lot of questions, so I kept it pretty terse.

Boring answers from a basic man.

What, if anything, makes you truly exceptional?

Exceptional is a pretty high bar. I'm not that. There are plenty of men like me around. I live a good, well-balanced life though and that has been attractive to more than enough women.

If you are in such dire need of entertainment, might I suggest Netflix?

let me get this straight. you proclaim yourself “high value” because you are tall, have a job, and had girlfriends?

you are average in everything other than your inflated ego

Love is Blind is trending now...

So... you're average? Why did you frame yourself as a 'high-value man' when you bring nothing above average (save your fragility, which is somewhat striking) to the table?

Right? And why post an AMA if you're so delicate you're going to resort to insulting people simply asking you the hard Qs you went out of your way to ask for?

Could've just stayed home and enjoyed his high-value life all by his high-value self and whoever was willing to have him instead of coming on a mommy board and looking hypersensitive and ridiculous.

I kinda wanna start a parody-but-true “I’m an exhausted mother of two with a high pressure job, my bathroom is a mess, and we are having takeout for the third time this week, AMA!” spinoff thread, but I also don’t want to waste peoples time and Jeff’s server space.

Because he thinks the fact that he is minimally adequate means he has something women want, thus he is offering his advice to women.

No. This may just be semantic differences. Someone exceptional is like an Obama. The few exceptional people that I know personally often lack balance though.

High-value, in this context, is just a man who is desirable to women for various reasons as attested by them. It is often about the totality of the package rather than any particular trait. In my case, a combination of good education, stability, commitment to self improvement, being in shape, good relationships and social circles, mindfulness/attentiveness are some of what they've told me. This really shouldn't be like finding a unicorn.

I hope you are able to find some rest soon. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.

The Low Value Woman AMA only has a few posts but it made me laugh. Totally worth it!

Realistically the attitude drops him to below average.
