Realize it's actually better desu
sure my body might ache more
but i'm a lot wiser for sure
Take care of your body
Live a life you like living. If you're doing it, aging doesn't bother you. If you're not, no matter how old you are, you're fucking up.
Accept my inevitable obsession with power washers and new socks.
Also roiding and fucking everything that moves helps.
life becomes simpler in the best way possible
you just gradually stop giving a shit and concentrate on your wellbeing
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I don't.
I'm 28 but I feel like I'm 24, I don't know.
>best shape of my life
>head full of hair
>single
>decent job, no debts, live in appartment to my parents' name
The only thing that 'worries' me is that I'd have to think of my next gf as (most likely) my future wife and mother of my children.
Doesn't feel real desu
At first I was upset by getting older. After a while, I just started rolling with it. I'm a million times more confident in my 30's compared to my 20's, despite nothing about me really changing. Also I find women in their 30's and 40's hot as fuck now too
I make confidence and career gainz, and every day become more and more conservative.
>tfw no wife
Once you leave your wandering twenties and realize you're probably not going to invent teleportation or become President it's actually very freeing. You can do whatever you want with your life forever.
As far as fitness goes once I turned 30 I stopped liftsmaxing and focused more on general health and happiness in other areas of my life. I still throw the youngsters around in judo but I don't care that I can no longer squat 550lbs.
>no wife/girlfriend
actually the hardest part of your late 20s early 30s when everyone around your age is married/getting married/ have kids and you're still single
>Also I find women in their 30's and 40's hot as fuck now tooI
Oh look it's another beta lying to himself about what he finds attractive while getting tricked into knocking up some post-wall roastie episode.
It's kinda harder to go out with your friends because many of them now have gfs, yeah, but I have a steady group of 4 single friends to go out with.
Funnily enough, when me and my gf broke up after 4 years, many friends of mine got gfs after years of partying.
Also fuck this fucking captcha and its vanishing pictures.
These. Aging seems to gradually chill you tf out if you're not on roids or anything. In your 20's it's like you live in constant fear and anxiety over your looks, your wealth and your relationships.
In your 30's, once those first health issues pop up (in yourself and in your aging friends and family), that anxiety fades, and you just start dealing with things with more chill. Nothing needs to be perfect anymore, and yes, your standards lower, but you become happier because of it.
In your 20's this always looks like failure and resignation. In your 30's, it starts feeling like fulfilment and intelligence.
god you're a faggot
Just hit 24 and very sad to think of all the good times and people I have met just gone into the abyss
Life is nothing but pain and suffering
True, but it’s still great poetry
>Real men only want to fuck 14 year old virgins!
Fuck off back to r9k, incelfag
Nah man. Those are all experiences coloring your soul. Would you really want be in that stage of your life forever?
you find someone to grow old beside you
oh wait
take care of my body in the best possible way I can and that will automatically make me feel and look younger
I agree. A 35-40 year old woman who still looks great is even sexier because you know shes putting in work.
What if I don't really care about mediocre though? Resignation is depressing and makes life pointless.

>how do you cope with loads disposable income and hoards of desperate women throwing themselves at you because their biological clocks are ticking?
It’s torture, obv.
Aging is natural. Like has been said in the thread, take care of yourself. An overweight, balding, mouth breathing sloppy man in his 30s will turn no heads. It’s normal almost. A fit man that is well dressed and carries himself like he respects himself in his 30s... well. You command respect, whether you want it or not, people will just give it to you. Stay fit, learn about yourself. How your brain works. Get rid of anxiety. I can go on and on but once you’re on the right path, you’ll know.
Is it true that starving yourself *a bit* will cause you to put on more pounds/build fat?
I've always heard this
oof didnt mean to post that^
You have issues my man
T. Iffy nigga
I haven't apparently since a decade old friend hit me with "grow up we're not in college anymore" he says just finishing up his last college class getting mad about some drunken grabass.
yeah it's true better head to mcdonalds
You grabbed his ass?
Life isn't about novelties anymore. Iv had enough experiences and situations that I no longer need to relive them. Now im just focused on my well being and getting in shape/staying in shape. I no longer need to bench 3-4 plates to feel good or squat 500 lbs. You get a lot more relaxed and you enjoy the finer things in life. Like bbq a nice piece of steak and enjoying the best rum the world has to offer. Also you get to pick and choose your women a lot more carefully and women will work for your affection doesn't matter both younger and older ones will.
I won't.

This
Playfully swiped at his face grazing his cheekbone after I said fuckoff and continued flaming. He acted like I meant to hit him, etc leading to him landing a real slap to my face. I showed him what a real slap was he got up and jumped at me on the ground. Cue rolling around on the floor. Everyone acted like it was some serious shit. A week later and he ambushed me after playing some video games wanting an apology.
By mowing your lawn and owning a muscle car.
trips of truth
Look at used car ads on craigslist. Some of them will have a guy covering his licence plate with his finger in the pictures.
For some reason this became associated with boomers.

I shit myself so fast that I just waited till she fell asleep, tore her purse open to find her driverse license..she's 19 thankfully. No shit being with a young chick makes you feel young to be honest no matter how meme it sounds
>tfw 19
>tfw i am unironically feeling old af cause of these boomer memes
holy fuck i cant believe im falling for this shit.
kek babyfaced mid 20s also hooked up with an 18yo HS senior who was in my CC public speaking class for early credit. It all started because I kept zoning in on her during my speeches and she brought it up.
>Meaningless sex: Younger > Older
>Relationshit: Older > Younger
At least that's been my experience. Younger women are generally up for whatever because they're just happy to be with an older guy. However in my experience they are dogshit in a relationship; immature, entitled, narcissistic flaky, don't think of you as a person so much as an accessory.
Older women generally have more self-respect and won't be down for as much, but I've found they're far more likely to act mature and treat you like an actual partner/human with feelings, rather than something to inflate their self-worth.
That's only been my experience though. Maybe some other fags can weigh in

If you're in your 20's right now, there is nothing I could say to convince you otherwise. You are evolutionarily hard-wired to feel compelled to explore and to expand in your 20's. This is what causes teens and twenty somethings to crave sex, act out, and be self-conscious about looks.. it increases a human's chances of (accidentally or otherwise) knock a girl up.
By the time you're 33-ish, you're naturally gonna feel compelled to be an anchor, a provider, someone who focuses more energy on maintaining a solid nest rather than exploration (whether you've had kids or not is irrelevant, you are evolutionarily wired to experience this hormonal shift.)
You think it's depressing and pointless now because you're wired to think that. Your testosterone is filling you with anxiety and energy to create and smash. When you're in your 30's, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself this slowing down process is depressing, your physiology will remind you how good it feels to finally chill out a bit.
When you're in your 30's, convincing yourself that you need to be perfect and to keep growing no matter what is akin to being in your 20's and convincing yourself you need to get on the floor and play with your action figures and Tonka trucks. I mean, it's possible to do, but sustaining it will feel incredibly awkward and, well, stupid.
Same. But not because of the memes. I'm more calm and sensible than people my age. And somehow I've gained 10 kg without noticing until these last few days, so I have the gut and mantits of a 40 year old dude.
easy
become a silver fox
Find yourself a girl and ride it out.
Welcome to the club, friend.
If you're making progress you don't think about it much. I notice the friends of mine who are obsessed with how old they are are the ones who aren't where they should be in life. Nearing 30 now and the friends I have who are constantly going on about how old we are, we are X years away from highschool, closer to 40 than 18 etc etc are the ones who aren't in serious relationships, don't have careers, aren't studying or doing anything to further their lives. I think the key is to make sure you're moving forward, partying and being aimless is all well and good in your early 20's but nobody likes a 30-40 year old child.
You don't
>Just got hemmeroids last month at age 21
Kill me
Other boomer here. This is my hands on experience. Younger girls haven't had as much experience and they don't have a matured brain that hasn't reached full adulthood. They do not yet know their full potential and capabilities and thus they will test their limits with you. If you are dating a younger girl they will 1. not realize how good (or bad) they have it by dating you. 2. they WILL fuck up, in one way or another.3. depending on the girl she will either stick with you for a very long time OR one of you will end things 90% within the first 18 months.
to them you are a novelty. its refreshing for them and it is like validation by having an older male date them. its like having a per-approval stamp of certification on them being good.
although older women are better at handling relationships they also come with their drawbacks. 1 they have habits by that age, harder to break down. 2. they have more experience which means they can compare you to past ones and call you out on shit youre doing.3. they might be used up and nothing will further satisfy them physically and mentally, its exhausting having to find new things to surprise the other constantly.
Compartmentalize my life.
Mature career, investments, etc.
Semi-mature weekend friends.
Young and immature early 20's gf.
I don't let the compartments touch.

another Jow Forums poster with a great career (probably software/engineering), a lot of money in investments, friends and a young girlfriend. gee
I've noticed if you have a babyface CCs are literal fish in a barrel "post," teenage love shit. A friend I know is a professor and works at the CC, asked if I could help him set some lab shit up since it's heavy and he doesn't trust the kids in his class. I sat in the back since he asked for me to stay to put it away afterwards ( i didn't have anything ot do so said fuck it)
Kids walk in and people sit at my table in the back. Shit you not the girls at the table started asking what everyones ages were and none were above 20...when they got to me I autismed and said 22. Girls forced me into their "study group," before the class ended...I got messages from them for like 3 months off and on afterwards.
Younger girls are just meant to fuck. They're still stuck in the mentality that they'll see new guys every single day and have new friends every year. They're not "real world," mode yet. The receptionist girl is like this...she literally passed me a note when I came into the gym today and it was a page long essay about how much she cares for me and I'm her soul mate
>22
>talking about younger people
you're not even a fully grown adult, far from a boomer. give it another decade before putting in some input boyo
>22 year old chad talking about 'getting older" and acting like some wise man about people 2 years younger than him
holy shit fuck off
In his defence, he's not wrong. 18-23 y.o women for the most part are obsessed with the idea of dating older guys 2-20 years older than them. You read that right, I shit you not a LOT of 19-20 y.o girls want to date 30-somethings. If you have a fairly intelligent personality and at are at least decently good looking, there are plenty of college aged women who will be interested in you.
wow its almost like young whores think that it will make them more "grown up" to date an older guy and think that guys their age "just don't get them and are too immature", likely have daddy issues and want to substitute him with an older guy, when in reality they are just using him for money because he's so beta he puts up with it to fuck a young teen girl
i said I WAS 20, but I"m in my late 20s closer to 30.
again i said i WAS 20 to hide my age
Yeah, if you're dumb and emotionally invested, you lose money. If you're smart and have a backbone, you have a little bit of fun and create a win/win deal while hardly spending a dime. Isn't that how life kind of is?
I'm My best relationship was when I was 21 and was dating a 30 y/o business woman. In retrospect I'm guessing she viewed me as little more than a fuck toy, but even so there were no games, completely open and honest, even when she dumped me it was by far the most mature break-up I've ever had.
Compare that to the 21 y/o I dated when I was 25 who whined about the dumbest shit, and told me she wanted to fuck other guys on the side 3 months in, after I'd already made it clear that I was monogamous, and then texted me "asshole" every night for like 2 weeks when I broke it off with her. I'm generalizing, and these are the two extremes of the girls I've dated, but still.
Now I'm dating a woman 2 y/o than me, and it seems completely ideal. No immaturity/games, obviously has her shit together, but not so much older that we're in a completely different states of mind.
This 100%
Ah yes, the girl with daddy issues who dates above her age and thinks guys her age are "too immature" to get her but is in all actuality an enormous drama loving crybaby with mental problems
Just broke up with her a couple months ago. Currently reevaluating all I ever thought of women
>see this thread
>it's my birthday today
Would it be hard to find a 30ish wife when I'm 40?
(or 27/36 whatever)
I feel like I might be super detached and floaty in my 20s and early 30s traveling for work, moving all these different places, and my chances of finding a honey who wants the same are low.
Now I don't have a problem with a woman my age when I'm 37, but I also don't want my kids to have autism.
this is why i always laugh when i see how guys on fit act like the younger the girl you date is, the more alpha you are and how it shows you are a "roastie" if you say it's pathetic
the kind of girl who is say 18-20 years old and would actually date a guy who is older than like 25 is almost always the type of girl you describe. thinks she is gods gift to earth and only an "older man" can really 'get" her, unlike all the "immature boys" her age she tries to date, when in reality she's your typical social media addicted emotionally volatile drama lover who tries to latch onto some beta boy who will appease her since her daddy won't do it for her
>t. agelet
It is resignation because you didn't achieve anything. But whatever helps you sleep at night
To each their own, but I've tried dating younger women. Good to fuck, but I wouldn't want one as a girlfriend. Unless you're one of those dudes who "girlfriend" mean "glorified fuck buddy." Not saying there's anything necessarily wrong with that; I just wouldn't want to form an actual conventional "relationship" with anyone that wasn't approximately my age or older.
It gets better at 25, you're almost there partner
The older you get the more you realize the rothschilds really are just fucking jesuits.

They're in their prime mate hunting naturally they'll gravitate to the young looking and stable option. Babyface masterrace
Knowing that as someone who even has a shred of self-respect for their body and what goes into it, so long as you were blessed with average or better genetics we will age so much better than someone who eats fast food and smokes all day.
this.
Also:
save for retirement or learn to invest wisely
take care of your body/health
Live a little aka socialize or look for group.

no. Women will be literally desperate to land a relationship at late 20s/early 30s. Finding a decent 40 year old boomer at that age is hitting the jackpot for them, so relax.
However, chances are you will find a used up thot that got tired of riding the ol' cock carrousel and is looking for a "good man" that can support her and give her children. These are facts of life. Your best chance is to look for an early 20s woman and pray to god she hasn't daddy issues and is willing to commit. Good luck.

With age comes freedom and a sense of peace. I welcome it. It fucking sucks being young, always worrying about what others think of you and trying to contend with everyone else. Fuck everyone else, I'm doing what makes me happy, at my own pace.
