>im in my 30s now and also undesired just like you
I'm 22 right now and extremely blackpilled/worried about the aging thing. I don't care about getting uglier but i constantly hear uncs talking about their bodies falling apart in their 30s and it scares me. Is this just a fat american thing?
>>84953944No one understands how it feels to be young and feel yourself waste the best years of your life, just watch the time pass while your siblings go on to have friends, girlfriends, go to bars and have fun. I'm not that young, I'm 22 but I'm so sick of watching the best years of my life go by while I just avoid society. I'm so lonely but people are too scary.
>>84953954>Is this just a fat american thing?yes, you can easily pump and dump 18yo foids in your 30s and ruin them for future incels
>>84953954>Is this just a fat american thingThe damage caused by childhood obesity caused my body to start falling apart at 19.
>>84953962>waste the best years of your lifeyour best years as a man are 40-50
>>84953962i'm a massive alcoholic but i know i have to quit soon because my body wont be able to take the damage when i'm older lel
>>84953954It is just a fat person thing. You can be healthy and strong your whole life.
>>84953968I better not still be alive at 40.
>>84953971My dad is 62 and finally slowing down and it makes me sad but if i can get to 60 being able to do constant exercise like he did i'd be happy. It's just dudes in their 30s and 40s talking like they're elderly that scares me. I'm looking into shit like peptides a lot more now, it's how Lebron and Brady managed to be athletes in their 40s
>>84953975young foids with daddy issues will just fuck your corpse then
>>84953970I used to drink a lot (alone) and I completely stopped a few years ago. I replaced it with food, I can kick everything but fast food. It's pretty easy if you're not too far gone.
>>84953986I drink a 6 pack 2-4 times a week but the more concerning thing is my meth habit on the side
>>84953980This dude, Donald Pettit, is 70 years old and an active astronaut. The picture was taken in 2024 so he's 68 in the picture I think. You can be fit and healthy your whole life if you take care of yourself. People complaining about their health in 30s and 40s either ruined their body with decades of drugs and fatness or (very rarely) got a disabling injury.
>>84953944when I turned 30, I was dating this slightly older woman (36) and had offers from a much older woman (41.) after we broke up the next year in summer, within a week i swapped to dating this girl i'd been hanging out with on the side just as friends. a couple years later that didn't work out, so i thought i'd take a break and just not date anyone for a while. six months later i got a phonecall inviting me to this party, where this young girl i'd met when she was 17 (by then she was 25) wanted to meet me again and was basically all over me - apparently she'd had a thing for me for a while.have you been lining them up? how many women do you even know? if you know none that makes your options zero.
>>84954008my family tends to be very long lived and remains active till the end so i'm hopeful i got the genetic base. only problem is that dementia/alzheimers took out both my granddad and grandmother so if i inherited it from my mom instead of my dad i'll get that
>>84953980Those dudes fall into 3 categories>never got into the habit and routine of sports so their prime was at 21 and they just declined from there on>have iherited shit like back or joint problems and never adressed them in their 20s>are/were hyper competitive in some sport and the wear and tear took a toll on themYeah your physical prime (sports wise) is in your twenties but you can stay pretty fit for a long long time
>>84954017Don't do drugs and study/learn your whole life. Dementia does have a genetic component but it's mostly a symptom of a chronically underused brain.
>>84954008it hits pretty solidly in three phases, ~33, about ~40, then again ~66. at age 33 you should really notice you're dehydrated more, and you won't be able to shit as easily as when you were a kid unless you make certain to drink more fluids and eat well. the reason for that is the longer you just "get used" to being dehydrated, you'll stop feeling thirsty. all those things compound and get worse and worse.drink more water. suddenly you'll feel thirsty again, everything starts working better. part of the negative is that since it "wakes up" your nerves you'll start feeling actual pain more too. that's working correctly though so it's not a negative, that's 100% positive.
>>84954029Yeah i personally believe a lot of what contributed to my grandmas dementia was lack of variety/exercise. She didn't leave the general vicinity of her house/neighborhood often and just watched tv or did her garden. Whereas my other grandma is the same age now and walks her dogs every day, goes swimming in the summer, and actively uses the internet. it's about stretching your brain muscle
>>84954041Other than drugs and brain injury, TV is the worst thing you can do for your brain. It's even worse than shit like 4chan. At least here you have to do minor thinking when constructing a sentence and reading about anon's lives.
>>84954041they say memory works much better when you do weird things you don't expect - not just spontaneity, but specifically examine your own motivations "i want x" and do the fucking opposite for once. that leads all sorts of great places. "i want to take my heroin and get wasted, but i'll play golf today instead." or "fuck, walking up these stairs sucks" so hike up a mountain.>you don't need to "want to", you just need to prove to yourself you can do the things you don't want, too.
>>84954049>TV is the worst thing you can do for your brainthis is actually false. in between doing stressful, extremely mentally difficult activities, the best thing you can do is watch something or do the dishes. it gives your brain a chance to relax, but it never stops thinking about what you were working on before. it just does it in the background, silently. suddenly you'll be taking a shower and the idea of how to do what you were working on will just pop into your head from what seems like "nothing".
>>84954056Resting is good for you. I'm talking about the person who spends all day every day in front of the TV not doing anything else. Doing that for decades is gonna increase your risk of dementia.
>>84954064It's actually not just rest. This has been studied a lot, and what it is, is you're resting specific regions of your brain and using OTHER regions instead. You're sort of tag-teaming it.
>>84954064>Doing that for decades is gonna increase your risk of dementia.Again, it's actually the pattern you fall in to where nothing new is happening and everything is predictable. This means your brain doesn't need to be re-wiring itself constantly to optimize (plasticity) and that causes the breakdown in the old circuits because the brain actually has no mechanism to maintain old crusty circuits with cobwebs and rust on them.>you're not fixing your old brain, you're constantly regrowing new and better brains
>>84954070>>84954074OK this makes sense to me.
Hypothetically, plasticity is the trigger for the parts in your brain that "clean up" the old crusty junk that isn't used anymore. It can't be repaired, so the only way to clean up the faulty old ones is to replace them with new systems so the old ones aren't needed.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity
>>84953954It's also genetics based. You can scream and piss all you want but no amount of healthy lifestyle will 100% prevent it. Source: lower back and knee problems at age 36 even though I started a healthy lifestyle specifically to prevent that in my 20s and even have been alcohol-free for 7 years now. Knee joints are going to shit even though i eat supplements specifically to strengthen joints.Pay attention to your own father and grandpa, it will give you a good idea on what's to come, and it won't come at super old age, the downfall starts past your 30s at a steady, slow rate that spikes up every now and then and forces you to make lifestyle changes ever 4-8 years, piling up until you die
>>84953954If you exercise then physically no you body won't fall apart. Can't do shit for hair though, RNG it with some of the routinely recommended shit here and hope it doesn't ruin your dick. Or just embrace it idk.
There is no supporting scientific evidence that isn't subjective self-reports in a survey that supplements change joint health. Rather it seems injuries and lack of muscle lead to damage to the joints, which create tears and scar-tissue builds up. This later leads to pain because the capsule for the joint is being bent/twisted in the wrong direction constantly by the scar tissue "bumps". Obviously the last thing you want in a bearing is an uneven surface.Mostly these injuries are caused by people not being intuitively aware that your muscles support most of the weight in most cases, not the joints themselves. Cartilage is very weak. You couldn't jump on your dick, would you? Then why do you jump on your joints? A lot of people step heavily every single foot step they make while walking and being heavier makes this do more damage over the same distances.Walk silently like a cat. Ignore the pain from your joints and they'll heal and feel better over time.>t: joint injury at 17, healed by the time I was 30, now 42
Joint pain is also caused by swelling, which is a reaction to a high level of preventative action by the immune system (hypothetically: due to lack of active threats.) Your epinephrine level drops while cortisol rises in balance. You can prove this if you can raise your epinephrine temporarily, such as running and suddenly your joints hurt less instead of more and swelling is reduced systemically throughout your body. You'll also notice swelling reduced before a viral infection sets in with major symptoms because your immune system is switching modes to active defense.
The epinephrine reduces swelling because it is one of the hormones that signal high activity preparation. Obviously if you have an infection, your blood needs to be able to flow freely to deliver defensive supplies (logistics) to the infection sites.During a cold your nose becomes plugged despite a high level of epinephrine because locally there are immune cells camping out and spitting massive amounts of histamine hormone. This tells the local tissue to expand, and the vessels and capillaries squeezing shut to cut off flow in order to prevent the foreign substance from traveling out into the system easily. This at the same time means less immune cells can reach the battlefields to pump out more histamine, so the effect balances itself out.
