Contraire, I'm not putting you down. I'm putting things into perspective. I'd say you're probably damned near expert at wooing South American girls and getting you what you want out of them. I give credit where credit is due. I'm sure "The Hedonist", which I gather that you authored is full of useful information, provided hot sex with South American women and prostitutes is what you're after. I'm not even putting that pursuit down (but I should) thus far.
However, you've spent a great deal of this thread commenting on marriage and long term relationships. Areas in which I won't give you credit for much expertise. In short, you simply don't know a damned thing about marriage or being married.
I don't claim to know jack about being a rich playboy windsurfing in Argentina. I'll leave that to you. I do however know what it's like to be in the room when your children are born. I know what it's like to rush to the hospital in a blind panic because your wife has rolled her car and the ER nurse wouldn't tell you about her conditition over the phone. I know what it's like to pace the halls of a hospital with that same wife because the child of that union is having surgery. I know what it's like to go shopping with your wife, for your first grandchild. Even still, I look at people way past my own age, who've been married much longer than I've been married, and I realize that I don't even come close to knowing what they know about marriage.
You might be some kind of expert on "dating" if that's what you call it, but giving credit where credit is due, I know things about marriage and committment that your mind hasn't even begun to comprehend, and my experiences with marriage are meager compared to some. Just checked, this thread was about marriage. A subject you know nothing about, despite thinking you know everything about it. Sad really.
No matter how that last posts reads, my wife and I didn't buy a grandchild on a shopping trip. Just wanted to clear that up.
