Everyone take a turn, introduce yourself, maybe a bullet list areas of experience etc. Welcome to the community!

 

[Rob Lay]

I founded ManLife, not for my expertise, but I feel like I can bring the real experts together to become the best men body, mind, and soul.

• Entrepreneurship
• Investing
• Real Estate (mostly land)
• Triathlon (swimming, biking, running)
• Hiking
• Fishing
• Hunting
• Car Racing (road racing)
• Flying (Private Instrument Pilot)
• Travel
• Grilling / Smoking
• Drinking!

I'm an old fart who's been on Ferrarichat since 2004.

My hobbies are exotic and muscle cars.

I am a 12 String Guild guitar guy, and have been known to have paid to play.

I am a music / concert nut, and have spent time with Dave Mason, Jamie Oldaker ( Clapton Drummer for 10 albums) Willis Alan Ramsey, Lyle Lovett, Jim Olson ( James Taylor's luthier) and short encounters with Graham Nash, David Crosby, and Yes.

After 30+ years of car shows, cruises etc, I would rather watch a grandkid play sports than spend 5 hours waiting on a trophy.

My name Guido, 68 (but appearance 50) humorist, joint F-chat jan 2004 and owner of a mondial QV since 2002. Whas bought to get rit of money on the bank just before Euro came out. Since 2012 im Ruhestand. I speak several languages (not learned at school but in real life) like Dutch, German, English, French, Portugees and Spanish. I love old things, antiques, watches, juwelry, cars etc, but not old females. Maybe the reason : married several times and divorced likewise, 6 kids with 5 wifes (Belgian, 2 Brasilian, Argentina, Camerounese). For the moment I live in 3 countrys Brasil, Argentina and Belgium. Professionel = ex-cop, import-export cars for African continent, hobby oldtimers and helping Ferrari owners to keep their cars on the road. I make fuseboards for the models years 80 and 90 (F40, 288GTO, all mondials, 328, 400i, 412, TR, testarossa, 456, 550 and 512 TR). Always in for new challanges. And still open for new relationship(s)....
By the way, we should open an article = exposing internet date crime.
I see so many men (and women) being cheated and losing entire capital, but I don't see a site where the criminals are exposed with their pictures, names, addresses, phonenumbers etc.

Congrats on the retired part, sorry about the divorce. I just went through that a couple years ago. It gets better. Outdoors is the place to be especially now.

Doubt if I will ever be able to trust another woman

I’ve had similar feelings the past few years. A couple of the girlfriends didn’t help their gender in those regards either. Current girlfriend is great.

Welcome to ManLife! Would love to hear your hunting, fishing, and other outdoors stories.
