I'd say for the most part it has interfered with my own personal success. I used to try and convince myself otherwise, but looking back now. If I had invested that much time and effort into my personal career I may already be a millionaire.

The only thing I have been able to remain loyal to is "seduction" herself, she is my soul mate, she is my queen.
All in all, I have still managed to maintain a successful life, I am happy, have a solid career, have lots of friends, and a great out look in life. So with all that being said, I do not regret my course in life. I accept it with open arms.
Well so it looks like it HAS interfered, however, it's what does it for you personally, so man, although it's caused you some pain, it looks like ultimately you're turning into something you love. Good for you dude.

40/year?
Preach it SA911.
That's not hard and completely manageable.
It would be for me. I'm completely comfortable with women and good at getting what I want, but I own an increasingly successful software company and I probably work a minimum of 60 hours a week, with some going onto 80+. If I had a 9-5er and nothing else to do it would probably be manageable, but not my schedule.
Going out and getting a new woman weekly would stretch my mental bandwith beyond its limits.
Every dude has his own way of doing things and mine is keeping more like longer term lovers that do it for me. And sometimes forgoing the company of a fuck-friend altogether when I don't wanna deal with it. I don't want to fuck 5 women in a week.
It wasn't an every-week deal, that was the perfect storm coming together for me... No way in hell could I fuck that many women a week on an ongoing basis.
Career-wise: I'm a maverick recruiter. I am contracted to find niche'd people to fill positions ranging from $110-$220K/yr. I only get paid from the client, not the candidates I present. I log over 4000 minutes a month talk time, not including resume preparation, contract negotiation, interview skills training, vetting the candidates and actually learning them and their credentials.... I feel you - it's my own business as well, and I take calls/work ALL the time. I'm self-employed and work from home. It's the best AND worst of both worlds. Many times, I'll work til midnight/1AM because that's the time I can focus on the paperwork aspect of the business and not have any interruptions...
My routine: I go out 1-2 nights a week, I get lunch 1-2 days a week, and I go to the beach 2-3 days a week. But - I hit the grocery store daily. Yeah, I could get all my groceries for a week in one trip, but I'd miss out on daygame that way. ANd daygame is my bread and butter...
I don't want relationships, I want the quick FWB situation. I make it clear that We'll hang out and fuck, until we get bored or strings attach then we move on. That's my game. I cannot stand anyone remotely starting to get their claws around me... Hell, I bolt when a chick complains I don't text/talk to her enough. But - I don't lie to them either. I tell them up front I'm prone to run, I'm commitment-phobic and I don't want to define what ever it is the two of us do...
And... it can be shallow to some, it can get lonely (on rare occasion - sure I feel alone)... but until it gets to the point I wnat to make an actual change - I'm riding the wave, and the surfing is goooood...

All good things!
