I'm lucky to have a well-rounded and worldly mentor myself (former Investment Banker who quit because he hated the life, now he's a Special Ed teacher) and he taught me a lot of what I needed to know that the public school system doesn't tell you. I identify with #3 a lot. I have (what I consider to be) a bullshit detector so finely tuned that even Judge Joe Brown would take notice. As such I have trouble giving compliments to people in general, as I worry they'll take it as being false and not from the heart. I suppose you can give people their props without being an RMMB-style sychopant. Good stuff man.

Bravo sir. Bravo. But to address your concerns, my sexual misadventures are normally prefaced with self-loathing and shame.

I'd think since Tucker Max is your mentor, you would figure out the key is to post hilarious recounts of sexual misadventures. Do you have any intention of posting hilarious sexual misadventures in the future, or are you just going to keep talking about intellectual topics? Just wondering.
