[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, I'll bite:

1) What is your biggest fear, and how much of your life is spent/has been spent trying to avoid it?

[i]My biggest fear is dying young and leaving those close to me vulnerable. I've tried to pay close attention to fitness and diet. In some senses I have not been great at avoiding certain aspects of this, because I deal with a lot of stress. This weighs on me a lot.[/i]

2) What has been your greatest joy in your 30(ish) years on the planet so far?

[i]Honestly, I really enjoyed college. It was a time of a lot of learning and growth and I had a great deal of exposure to some incredibly talented and bright people from very different walks of life. It's very tough to recreate that dynamic and freedom in the working world. Beyond that, I get a tremendous amount of joy from investing in friends and family and watching them blossom. I'm a bit selfish in that I like to see the tangible fruits of my "investments". Seeing that sort of thing up close and personal is more appealing to me than contributing to some macro cause on which I probably won't make a dent. [/i]

3) If money were no issue, where would you live, what would you do there, and why?

[i]I like Capetown a lot, but it would probably be somewhere in the States that is a smaller town but with a major city close by. I would read and write more and cultivate hobbies that I have forgone. I would also try to recreate the vibe I mention in the previous answer with friends and interesting people just getting together and talking. I would also try to get really immersed in a smaller community. This is something that is increasingly lacking with increased geographic mobility in modern society.  I don't think money will be the limiting or determinative factor though. It will be the degree to which I can scale back ambition. [/I]

4) Do you have any pets? If so, plz describe.

[i]No pets.[/i]

Critical f/u Q: Why no pets?[/quote]

Just no desire to have one and travel obligations. [/quote]

Nope. Sorry. No "high value" person has zero desire to have a pet, especially with the "I get a tremendous amount of joy from investing in friends and family and watching them blossom. I'm a bit selfish in that I like to see the tangible fruits of my "investments"" mentality.

Travel, I get, but a high-value man makes enough money to afford boarding or in-home care for a pet, or would at least have a "maybe when my lifestyle calms a bit" approach. But "no desire"? Red flag. Having a pet is a much better predictor of emotional capacity than your "sixes".

[b]Then again, "high value" is kinda like "expert". When accurate, it's a title given to you by others. Very few self-proclaimed HV men really are, at least by the metrics most would use. But your skewed metric was also disclosed by your "sixes" comment.[/b]

Good luck with your "high value" lifestyle, though. [/quote]
Lol yep. Hearing a man call themselves high value is like hearing them call themselves an alpha. You know it's just some insecurity leaking through their facade. Gives you the right ick, doesn't it?[/quote]

A Lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of sheep. Please spare us your baaaaahhhhhd takes :)[/quote]
