This gentleman seems to have disappeared in the past 18 months. I enjoyed reading his blog quite a lot. Changed many perspectives for me and showed me what The Red Pill was about. He read this Forum often as well Anybody know what happened to him!??

I enjoyed reading his posts too, and I learned a lot from them. Though his later posts were turning into anti radical feminism rants ... I'm no fan of radical feminism, but he was getting a bit over the top.
I did a little digging, and found out some things about him. All of these are public info, I'm disclosing nothing private. [I don't know the man, just put 2+2 together.]
"Ian Ironwood" was a third persona for him. He's also a fiction author (I don't know his pen name) and has worked in the business end of the sex trade. He's a busy dude!
A couple years ago, one of his kids went through a traumatic event. [It's in his blog.] The kid is physically fine, and getting help for the emotional hurt. But "Ian's" posts tapered off about the same time.
For a while, his wife was the major money earner in the family. [His posts about how to be Captain while earning less are very interesting.] I think she gave up her career ... if so, "Ian" may be working more to cover the lost income.
I do know from my own personal experience that running a hobby blog is hard work, and it's easy to slack off when Life takes over. Ian's posts must have taken a long time to write/edit, and he just may not have time any more.

I don't begrudge men one whit of their natural advantages as long as they respect mine. I am not an unhappy pseudomale; I am female and like it that way." RAH
"The turnaround is tremendous. And I'm lifting weights, eating better, and tackling projects. I have all this great energy without a vampire sucking my life force. He's a lot stronger standing on his own two feet, as well." - Scarlet

When you say Business End do you mean he was a porn actor? I believe he resides in Florida
No, I believe he was a writer or in marketing or something like that. He has or had another blog under the title The Sex Nerd — I haven't checked that one in a long time.
And I don't think he's in Florida ... PrivateMan is in FL.
By the way, I checked into this because given some of the things he wrote, we may have mutual connections. I never figured out if we did.

Actually, The Sex Nerd is the former name of the blog of sex educator (and now erotica author) Emily Nagoski, which she renamed The Dirty Normal a while ago. Ian Ironwood used to hang out in the comments box there quite a lot. It's a fantastic source of information on sex and neuroscience.
Well I did send him an email. No response to date. Retired?
Murdered by women whose husbands keep sending them the gfe post.
I confess. I killed Ian "why write 20 words when 10,000 will do" Ironwood. Renamed said post to gfy. (Hangs head, peeks out to see if contrite costume is working, stifles maniacal giggle)

I confess to having read his whole website, although it's been a while. I'm like you - he loses me when he rants about radical feminists, but much of his other stuff is interesting.
Radical feminists aside, his Wolf Alphas have always seemed to me to be implausible *within the bounds of the rest of his system*.
He starts with the premise of men's self interest, which is perfectly fine, but he defines it as essentially just screwing around, because he believes that marriage is not in men's best interests, the world is hostile to men, carpe diem etc.
Which doesn't fit his family-building, pillar-of-the-community, delayed-gratification Wolf Alphas. I vaguely remember (but could be wrong, again, it's been a while) him even admitting obliquely somewhere that they act against self-interest, just because that's the noble creatures they are.
@Angeline of course. Not my intention at all; in fact, let's delete my last paragraph. I'm interested in the subject of this thread, and what looks to me to be a contradiction in his philosophy.

I haven't seen him logged into the forum since 2013.
