“There are no men like me.” LL
That statement applies here. Let’s break it down and show the proof behind the words so that you can see it is not arrogance but a well-grounded assessment of an unique mind.
Physical:
- Junior Olympian in one sport (volleyball), where I then competed in the US Open in College (1994, 1995).
- Varsity College Letter in another sport (cheerleading). Only 7% of high school athletes go on to letter in college, and few in multiple sports.
- International Champion in a 3rd sport (Tae Kwon Do), missing Olympic Team due to injury but Captain of Team USA in other competitions. Less than one in a million people that start in martial arts achieve my rank, and even fewer achieve the competitive success.
- Ultramarathoner: only about 100,000 people on the planet have done this.
All of this after being legally dead from asthma and half of it after my orchiotomy and having lower natural testosterone than a 75 year-old. All grit and guts, work ethic and belief. And I am continuing to improve while others our age decline. Next challenge: relearning to play tennis.
Business/Financial:
- Top 1/10th of a percent production in the world one industry (financial planning).
- Top 5% of all authors in number of books and sales.
- Raised millions in Venture Capital and Charitable contributions.
- Top 1% income in US.
- Soon to be again Top 5% wealth in US, Top 1% (~$15m) expected in two to three years years.
I have built and lost and rebuilt over and over again needing nothing more than myself and my capabilities. I did not join an established organization (corporation or family business) by choice to force myself to have no safety net but no ceiling and no dependence upon others, and will always recover from what the economy or legislative change or divorce throws at me. Resilience has defined my existence and opens doors for the future other men can only dream of, because I have built myself into something they can’t comprehend.
Academic/Intellectual:
- Even after the car accident and brain damage, I am in the top .03% of IQ. Raw intelligence can not be learned but only harnessed.
- Started college at 13. Less than 1 in 10 million do so.
- Multiple Bachelors, Masters, and Professional degrees, in a variety of fields. Less than 1% of the population does this.
From finance to physics to psychology and beyond, I am an autodidactic polymath that is constantly expanding my capabilities and curious about everything, a neophilia that directly aligns with your mental makeup. There are roughly as many people on earth with my intellectual level as have done ultramarathons, and essentially no overlap of the Venn diagrams.
Unique.
I might not have good looks, my humour bounces between Dennis Milleresque erudite and rawly sexual, and I have done many bad things over the years but I know my limitations and push them where I can, refusing to accept the limits of society or birth. I am an ubermensch in that through will, desire, and sacrifice I have made myself into a uniquely quality Renaissance Man, and you helped spark some of these fires that burn in me. You inspire me Draga, my Muse, and expand my vision and force me to examine myself and become better.
It is not that I look with rose-tinted glasses but rather seeing beyond the mere visible spectrum that limits lesser men that I see you with.
Instead of looking for a man of convenience so you aren’t lonely in the moment Adela, maybe you should consider looking for a man of excellence so that you can have a life that is exceptional, especially if that man looks beyond your physical beauty and still adores you. It will not be easy like what you have now, but it will be worth more than all the previous years combined and more exciting than anything you have imagined.
