I am a professional blogger, internet entrepreneur, and world traveler. I've been to over 40 countries and am currently working on my second book about long-term travel and how to work/live abroad. On my blog I write about self development and creating a unique lifestyle for yourself. Feel free to ask me anything.
The first book is about dating and women. The site began years ago as a men's dating site. You can find it here: http://postmasculine.com/models
I think they're growing. More and more companies and corporations are offering opportunities to work remotely. I also think that the information age promotes more creative freelance type work. There will always be those jobs that always require you to show up, but I think things are going to be more flexible in the near future. It's likely that in 10 years, this lifestyle won't be uncommon at all anymore.
Hunt around the blog-o-sphere, for every blog you're aware of, there are probably 2000 you're not. Click on people's blog rolls then click on all of those people's blog rolls and so on. You'll eventually find dozens of relatable blogs to yours. But also, starting on forums and comments is an easier place to start.
It's penetrating further and further. I think it's inevitable, the social and economic changes happening, as well as the philosophies of the younger generations are converging on this type of lifestyle. It's kind of our version of the "free love" revolution I suppose. They are hard ideas to grapple with, but change always is. I think a decade from now people's attitudes towards this type of lifestyle will be quite different it will be considered a lot more mainstream.

Yes. Improving with women can be a means for increasing your self-esteem, especially if it's an area you carried around a lot of emotional baggage. So yes, my quality of life and general confidence increased greatly when I became better with women. The bad news is that there's a limit to it. Everyone hits a point eventually where dating and sleeping with more/hotter women no longer affects their self-perception very much. At some point, any form of external validation stops fulfilling you. When this happens, you want to move your focus on to improving other areas of your life. Also, BE WARNED that men like us who regain a lot of our lost self-esteem through successful sexual and romantic relationships, we have a tendency to get hooked or even addicted to the validation that it brings. Don't become one of these men.
At the moment I don't really have any mentors, although I've had a few at various times in the past. These days, I'm more of looking at what the super-famous bloggers are doing (Tim Ferriss, Leo Babauta, etc.) and try to model or draw some sort of inspiration from them, since reaching that level seems to be the next step.
Not sure what you mean. I have my own products and books that I sell through my blog. The blog itself makes very little money since I do little to no advertising. But yes, I have supported myself for about four years now.
