I am making my first trip to Italy in September. Most of my time will be on a beach in Sardinia so I won't be seeing much of the country. We found what appears to be a nice seaside house with a pool for three weeks. My wives will be doing more tourism as I stay at the beach house for most of the trip


Just do not try to go to Tuscany as there is nothing available to rent.

With a couple of wives you'll need plenty of oysters to go the distance, but I'm sure you already know that.


At my age Viagra will be required more than oysters.

I will be spending the whole time outside Cagliari at the beach house. The girls will be doing some travelling.

Wait...I thought your earlier post was a typo, but...do you REALLY have more than one wife?

I do not have multiple wives. This goes back to a time where people assumed that two different women were my wives because we all lived as one family but I was only married to one. That is no longer the case since my wife and I moved to Florida. My "other wife" now lives in Nevada with my best friend but she frequently visits us and travels with us.

Why would anyone want 2 wives?

Instead of one woman nagging about stuff it is 2.
Instead of one woman bringing you her problems it is 2.
Instead of one woman crying you forgot her birthday it is 2.

On and on.....

Just because you can't attract a woman, doesn't mean other people can't...

I do not have any of those issues. Not all marriages are unhappy. Some of us enjoy being married. I have never forgotten a wife's birthday and would be ashamed if I did and would expect animosity. This trip to Italy is actually my wife's 50th birthday present. That is also the reason I splurged on renting a nice house for the trip.

50% of marriages end in divorce if we go by the accepted figure. Of the remaining, lots are unhappy.

Triple Zero Roulette is better odds! Heck, when they get 0000 next year that may be better odds!

I can attract, I just choose MGTOW. Too many single moms and other problems out there.
