With an attitude and worldview like no name given
it's no wonder he has to pay women to go anywhere with him, let alone share a meal or have sex.
to each his own of course. if no name simply prefers to only associate with women for hire (prostitutes in name, or in action), that's his choice. but not being able to have relationships with other people is pretty sociopathic.
you can have all the imaginary money and success in the world, no name, and yet it seems most of your social interaction is insulting strangers on the internet. classy.

What is should have said was that women
with physical and emotional problems that were they to occur in men would totally preclude any sexual attention from the opposite sex, often get more sexual interest than they want from (relatively) normal guys. It's worth pointing out that very often the difference between wanted and unwanted sexual attention is entirely a matter of the reaction of the receipient and that there is very often no actual objective difference in the behavior. Obviously there are things going on that cause some people to attract attention and not others.

I will concede one thing
I don't think the line between wanted and unwanted sexual attention is as blurry as all that. Having one's tits or ass groped by a stranger taking advantage of a subway so crowded you can't see who the hand belongs to or move away -- unwanted under almost any conceivable circumstances. Having someone stick his head out the car window as he passes and shout, "MMMMM, I SMELL SOME PUSSY!" while you're walking to church on a Sunday morning -- again, unlikely ever to be anything but violently unwanted.
On the other hand, a stranger in a crosswalk once clasped his hand to his heart and begged the heavens to allow him to take me home and spend the night making sweet, sweet love to me, which was also unwanted but so ridiculous and Smoove B it cracked me up (also worth noting that when I said "Sorry, I'm taken," he bowed graciously, said "You tell him he's a lucky man," and went his way without pushing it).
I will concede, though, that a woman who gets huffy and offended if a man merely, courteously, asks for an introduction or a date or her phone number is being unnecessarily unkind. Unless the guy looks like he might be scarily persistent or demanding or threatening in some way, there's nothing wrong with a simple "I'm flattered, but no thank you." But then again, that's more social or romantic attention than sexual attention.

Ladies, it is quite simple
No man, in his right mind, would get married without a prenuptial agreement.

As long as we're piling on NNG
He doesn't seem to know how old he is either. One recent post described him as in his late 30's, another as 41.
Dude! Let me help you out with the poseur thing! Successful men (and women) don't HAVE to talk about all their stuff, their money, their presence at New Porsche Beach. They do not feel a huge rage when someone doesn't agree with them; they're used to it and don't care. They do not waste eons saying the same thing over and over to people they will never meet. They think about productivity and new ideas, not how they can stick the knife in some friendly person's back and twist it hard. They also can write coherent paragraphs; that stream-of-consciousness-bile-factory stuff might have turned heads once but it's stale now. You remember that really coherent, reasonable post you once wrote? No, I don't remember either. If you're going to present this rich successful facade, try to make it believeable.
And you might keep in mind if you are interested in women that a huge turn-off for most women (trying vainly to return to real thread material) is a man who hates women. I don't think that's just me. Also you might want to hide the gay male porn collection; you know, the collection that provided you the picture you posted in the Big Love letters?
A lot of women on the other hand who have posted here sound like really interesting people who I would enjoy having over for drinks. We would tell stories, laugh and have a great time. And we would never once mention NNG.

XL Americans too fat for X-rays, study finds
This means primarily fat, entitled hens.

Great job, No Name!
Not only are you a moron, a pathological liar, worthless, and probably have the emotional maturity of a rock, you don't even know what the fucking topic we're posting about is! Great job!

OK Fattie
Go wash yourself with a rag on a stick.

Oh, No Name,
You are purely moronic. Someone points out your faults, and magically they become obese?
You really suck as a troll, you know that?

A six-year-old has better comebacks
Yeah, disagreeing with NNG leads to automatic weight gain, doesn't it? What a bonehead. And he keeps coming back, knowing that everyone here hates him (well, maybe he is that dense that he doesn't see this?) just to bray his mind-numbing, irrelevant, psychotic, humanity-hating loser spiel.
I think he is either a very bored, nasty and not-too-bright 15-year-old boy, or (very likely) and extremely obese, self-despising nut. Worst case scenario (which I can actually imagine) is that he's got some woman down in a pit somewhere a la Silence of the Lambs. I sort of want to notify the FBI on him. Seriously.
But investment banker from Newport Beach? Can you imagine a nutjob like him actually dealing with clients? Uh, sure....

FYI
I'm still here but have decided to confine retorts to NNG to the Tennis column where the woman knows she will leave her husband but somehow hasn't. Don't want to spread myself too thin and all relevant points are being addressed here anyway.
Carry on.

A little overlooked fact ...
What never ceases to amaze me is the apparent belief of mail-order marriage clients, as well as many who criticize them, that exotic far-away lands like Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia are places steeped in traditional American values. I feel almost silly having to state the platitude that the traditions of one place may not -- and usually do not -- match the traditions of another. Being an American of Russian heritage myself, I can attest to the fact that all mail-order marriage clients I've happened to come across, looking for wives in the former Soviet Union, have the following characteristics in common: (1) lack of any command of the Russian language (or Ukrainian, etc.); (2) lack of familiarity with, or any interest in, the local culture (except for the self-serving superficialities spewed by the marriage broker); and (3) a child-like gullibility with respect to generalizations made by marriage brokers.
The brokers, by contrast, know their clients' culture, and are very good at interpreting certain outward attributes of Russian life or behavior in a way that appeals to the given brand of American men. These interpretations are usually misleading at best, and are sometimes blatantly false. Still, as crafty as the brokers can be, the naivete of their clients is truly astounding.
I know Americans, both men and women, who lived and worked in the former Soviet Union, and came to understand its life and its people very well. They married locals without having to go through a mail-order marriage broker, nor would this even occur to them. No offense, but this business caters mostly to inerudite, poorly educated men (their occasional diplomas notwithstanding), who suffer from extreme cultural myopia and a small-town mentality so strong, that it simply cannot wrap itself around the fact -- or a possibility, at the very least -- that upon deeper examination, what is normal, traditional, understood, or taken for granted in the former Soviet Union may be radically different from what is ingrained in American traditions or history.
