New Tribal Elder D. Gately

[Chase]

As of today, we've promoted @D. Gately (formerly known as Don Gately) to Tribal Elder.

Don's been a member for over five years (how time flies!) and has contributed many original and innovative strategies/perspectives to the Boards.

His Skilled Seducer of the Month interview was a stand-out one; I've gotten lots of great feedback on it from lots of different folks. Don's been a constant source of useful and positive posts on other members' threads and helps elevate the forum.

We are thrilled to have you here as one of our Elders, Don!

Hell yeah!

Thanks, guys, I'm so glad many of you enjoyed the interview, I've put a lot of thought on many of those topics both over the years and specifically when I saw Chase's questions.

The forum has been a huge benefit to me over the years so I'm happy to help others.

Congratulations! I have not had the chance to read your interview (time...), but I have enjoyed your posts throughout the years! well deserved. I will make sure I look at this interview whenever I get some time.

I just finished reading your SotM interview and want to say huge congrats for the level of skill you are operating at DonGately.

I noticed you successfully apply Cialdini's scarcity principle, by standing out from the hoardes of t-shirt (yours truly) or polo shirt wearing dudes.

And there's probably much more you're doing that is hard to glean from an interview in this format.

Still, it's an inspiring tale, one that confirms my suspicions that modern-day age gap vitriol is simply the result of the mainstreaming of OLD and its age filters, not the result of actual female biological drives which, as Dr. Sarah Hill has confirmed, show they are evolutionarily programmed to prefer more mature faces in men, in the same way that we are evolutionarily programmed to go for the girls that you meet.

Question: in your LTR, do you have kids? (Feel free to respond via PM if you feel this is too private to post here publicly). Also, have you ever played videogames? JOOC. And lastly, are you in business for yourself or are you an employee?

I don't think I've played video games since FIFA 2010.

Oh, I tried Fortnite for a couple days when it first hit big. Not for me. Same for one of the GTAs. My reflexes are too slow, chess is more like it.
