>you’re only in shape because you are young
How often do you hear this cope? I’m 30 and I mainly hear this from boomers and people in their 40s+
>>
I never hear it because I'm 42.
All the excuses stop.
>>
>>76607828
Does your existence make your cohorts upset?
>>
>>76607827
My uncle and mother used to say shit like "Just wait until you're in your thirties and your metabolism changes". I'm 38 now and still lean and fit with a lot more muscle. There are some (possibly) age related things I notice, like where I carry a little more fat or that some spots are a bit more stubborn when I diet down, but those things just require minor adjustments, it's not something that is out of my control and I never just suddenly ballooned up or lost my cardiovascular fitness. I've had some injuries and need to avoid some exercises or find alternatives and my job made it a bit more difficult to schedule my lifting sessions but if you want to stay fit you can always make it work.
>>
>>76607827
Any conscious decision you make to improve your life will result in negative reactions from insecure people. Part of being an adult is learning when and how not to care what these people think.
>>
>>76607827
Rarely hear it if ever desu.
I'm 36 and in better shape than most. Teenagers and 20 year olds included
>>
>>76607841
Some of them.
>>76607847
It's more cope than a "negative reaction." They have to tell themselves a lie. It has very little to do with you.
>>
>>76607827
It's a super common cope. I'm 36, I hear it from people a lot, but they usually assume I'm younger because they add shit like "when you hit your 30s, it'll be different", but I'm literally in my late 30s, then they usually get irritated and leave.
>>
Yeah, years and years ago when I just got my job I was talking with my coworker about walking home from work
>talk to me when you're my age haha
Now I'm literally his age back then, and I still walk home from work, and he still struggles with weight but won't budge a muscle God forbid. Some people are just addicted to their slop+sleep the moment they get out of work
>>
>>76607827
NPCs always wildly lie about their virtues and achievements as a rule. My father in law is a completely lazy fat norf who can't walk up a single flight of stairs, has his gallbladder out, sleep apnoea, arthritis in his knees, acid reflux, high cholesterol and mini strokes. His diet is 100% indian takeways every single night and beer.

Whenever I've met him and headed out for exercise he will without fail say how he used to be super fit and do it all but it stops with age. I guarantee he played occasional football at school when forced and that is the absolute totality of it.
>>
>>76607827
I was a fat piece of shit when i was younger and i got fit in my 30s, so boomers around me cannot question my shit. Also, my aunts and uncles are also fit past their 70s (for their ages), so they are not retarded enough to say shit like that.
>>
I get that a lot, but that's also because people think I am 25 years old, even though I am actually 35. Most of my peers in their 30s are already out of shape.
>>
>>76608193
I get mixed signals about my age. A zoomer at my gym thought I was 26 the other day and a chick I met thought I was 35 and another one right after I was 29. What gives?
>>
>>76608110
>I'm younger because they add shit like "when you hit your 30s, it'll be different"
I also get "Oh you're not married? You're still so young you have so much time to find someone!" and also "You don't want kids? haha you'll change your mind one day, you're still young!"
>>
>>76607827
If someone unironically said that to me I would get up and go somewhere they aren't
>>
>>76608199
at least the girls are thinking you are older. That is better for you. When I was in my late 20s, I asked a girl out one time, and she rejected me because I was "way too young" for her. But i was fucking older than her. She had assumed i was like 18, she was 24. Pissed me off so much
>>
>>76608202
Lmao, I get that one too, but I'm divorced and I was a young father, I had a kid when I was in my teens. I did my job as a dad to the best of my ability and then bailed, just didn't want my son to be a fatherless bastard. But fuck that family shit, some people just aren't made for that. Not doing any of that ever again. Fwbs is where it's at, at least for me.

Nah, it's the wrong way to look at it. It's just getting what you want.

Not that anon, but if hookers are my only option I'd honestly rather die a virgin
>>
>>76607827
I’ve never heard it but I was way fitter in my 20s
Fit guys my age are much rarer
Fatherhood and jobmaxxing are more important
>>
>>76608262
Hookers are a crutch of sorts. First you get it out of the system because it's pretty obvious that the virginity and the lack of experience are weighing you down. Then more options might become available. Dude, it's whatever, hookers are the oldest job for a reason, might as well think of it as supporting a local struggling artist.
>>
>>76607827
reminds me of this thing i read somewhere about the ribcage becoming more rotund with age. Had to investigate if it's a real thing. Turns out it's probably just old people getting fat, thereby causing the distended ribcage. Fucking bullshit and it's everywhere. Like, type 2 diabetes used to be called "old age diabetes" where I live. Of course aging can contribute, but this, too is just a result of being fat.

I do hear this cope every once in a while. It's more that I hear boomers say something like "I can't eat like that anymore at my age" instead of directly being a cunt to me with my 20bmi. I think it's just that their responsibilities (kids etc.)shift maybe and then they let themselves go at some point.

Honestly the slightly overweight boomer type doesn't annoy me as much as this one powershitter schizo manlet at work who is always talking about healthy foods and shit like some discount joe rogan. Like, shut the fuck up about mcdonalds being poison you fat fuck I bet you can't even run 5k.
>>
>>76608270
Hookers don't solve adult male virgin problems. One can go to a hooker every week and still be a clueless adult virgin IRL who never even kissed.

The problem isn't paying to insert your condomed penis into a vagina for a few minutes, but more about the fact that not one person on the planet wanting to be remotely close or intimate with you ever in any shape or form
>>
>>76607827
I hear it quite a bit and I love it every time.
Because then I tell them that I'm 44 (often older than them) and that's when the cope and seethe REALLY starts...
>>
>>76608270
Ill add to this that hookers are not the submissive slaves that movies for women show. Be careful around them or you will get into trouble. I used to go to them, but unless they really like you and are willing to make it fun, its a shitty experience in general. Women no longer care about being pleasant to men thanks to fucking feminist, so no matter how much you pay them, if they dont like you, they will play the angry victim bitch and make the experience turn into hell for you. I was told once by a big titty dominican slampig that all men were evil, and when i told her "am i evil too?" She bluescreened the fuck out. Dont expect much from them.
>>
>>76608262
So, interacting with hookers is very interesting from a sociological standpoint. Because it cuts out most of the bullshit, and it's all physical so you'll quickly see which ones find you attractive and which ones don't. Not to mention if you're not fucking street meat you'll realize that most chicks are whores. I used to fuck one that I later found out was an RN making $65 an hour.
>>
>>76607827
People my age were crying how they were getting older and how everything hurts etc since they were 27 or so.
Annoying faggots that never got the spark to take care of themselves that cope instead of doing anything even later in life.
>>
>>76608299
I love it. How do they cope and seethe exactly?

>I think it's just that their responsibilities (kids etc.)shift maybe and then they let themselves go at some point.

That's basically it. They stop caring. Plus until about 25 years ago it really was true that the majority of people under 30 were fit by default just because they were young and healthy and tended to be active just living their lives, going out, working manual jobs and being on their feet most of the day. Post 30 was when you'd tend to get promotions to the kind of jobs that involved mostly sitting all day plus the nightlife started losing it's luster you were married and had kids so you mostly stayed home.

These days however the average person is getting garbage crammed down their gullet and is a couch potato screen addict from age 5 so you aren't basically guaranteed to be fit just from living a young person's general life anymore
>>
>>76607827
I don't know about "in shape" but the number of boomers who imply I'm gonna balloon any year now is 100%

>>76608321
>you'll quickly see which ones find you attractive and which ones don't
If a whore doesn't find you attractive, you're just not paying her enough. Unless you're extremely unattractive or she's really bad at her job, she's gonna tell you you're her favorite John for any number of reasons.
>>
>>76607827
I'm 36 and I get this all the time
"ah to be young again" they say as I run by or whatever I'm doing

This guy gets it. Women and sex aren't anything special. You kill the demon in the back of your mind that makes you feel inferior because you haven't fucked yet. Nothing more, nothing less. Once that's out of the way you no longer feel weird about it.

Eating too much crap and eating slightly too much adds up over time.

The worst is parking your arse on the sofa.

At 57 I walk 5k every day and lift 3-5 times a week (this adds up over time too).
I easily do pull ups and easily bench and squat my own weight
- I mog TF out of all friends my age.
There is no excuse.

Same age, same situation. It's hilarious. I've gone through periods where I just didn't have the time+energy to keep up my routine and I just don't eat like a fatass and not be completely sedentary and I'm still fine (first year of my son's birth I didn't lift AT ALL due to the obvious + my wife's health issues + job).
It's really not that hard to not be a giant fatass. People just have a hard time accepting that they are the problem, not their situation.

The human body is like hard plastic. It can change shape and go back to its original state, but if you bend it too much, it breaks forever.
And that’s the issue. People who get too fat, too DYEL (no muscle) for too long won’t ever be able to stop being a slob and reach their true natural potential.
Women for example have less plasticity than men. There’s rarelly any ex fatty women that changed their bodies on their late 20s. Once a landwhale they’ll always be one.
The key is to have discipline, control your diet and always lift/be active. The ones that have amazing bodies on their 40/50s is because they never indulged
>you’re only in shape because you are young
Fake. People get worse because they become less active and don't ajust their diets

I love when I see zoomers here obsessed with mogging everyone and getting demoralized because they are not part of the 1% top males.
Niggers, calm the fuck down and keep lifting, heating healthy and low body fat. Because once you're on your late 30s, you'll mog 99% of your generation male population. And while you'll still look hot and get youngsters mires, your collegues will look like their out of shape fathers.

breh, when I was 35 I was smashing an 18 year old cutie who was on the pill, and I'm no looker I was just lean and fit. All it takes is confidence (and the willingness to lie to get what you want).

That's something your parents/uncles tell you when you are a teen.
If you are fit and 30+ years old nobody will tell you that unless they fuck up, because they know they are about getting humiliated
>>
>>76608296
What if i kiss hookers?
>>
>>76608199
When I was 18 I didn't know what to look for when determining age, so 29, 35, whatever blended together. It was all just "older than me". I still have that for people over 50, I can be way off.

I volunteer at events and get the same thing from people under 21, sometimes they're a decade off. But those closer to my age have more accurate guesses.
>>
>>76611487
Who knows, who cares, stop dwelling on it.

>>76613925
Most of us were worried about being mogged back in the day too. It's rough for zoomers and they probably have to deal with increased pressure from social media and women on their looks and appearance. I agree that if they keep good habits they'll be the best look guy in their thirties but that's probably not comforting to them and may sound like they'll win the game when everyone else stops playing. I met my wife when I was 32 and she was 21, but the truth is those kind of age gaps are rare so I get why they don't believe the "30yr old boomer gets young chicks".

>>76613871
It's a coping mechanism. It must be difficult turning into something you found unappealing when you were younger, and it must be horrifying to understand you could have prevented it. The few who can take accountability are the ones who still have hope to turn it around.

What did you lie about?

The whole "30yr old boomer gets young chicks" is a literal and sad incel cope.
"Once I get older I'll stop being a loner and get prime pussy"
No you won't, because those that get it were already swimming in pussy on their early 20s.
And, for fuck sake, if you had the bare minimum of pussy you don't have those retarded fantasies. When you are in your 30s you usually care more about personality/maturity/life goals and look for a long term partner. Shallow one night pussy is nice but it’s not the end goal.

Yeah, that's mostly true, but it's a white lie for the benefit of 25 year old virgins so they don't neck themselves. Thinking you have all the time in the world is a delusion, but believing you have to hit [milestone] by [age] or you're a fucking failure, is a worse delusion.

Unless you're in a big city, it's going to be more difficult to find available women of any age. Even if you were in a college town you'd have to find some way to interact with them, like enrolling in school.

My shape has been kinda deteriorating ever since I got to the 40, but only in as much that I went from 10%bf to 12% (and can't seem to get rid of it), not in the sense that I'm some out of shape fatty like 90% of people around me.
It's retarded when they talk about something that only makes minor differences as if it were the reason they weigh twice as much as they should at a middle age, with still ~30 years ahead of them.
>>
>>76607842
same. my right knee is shot from an accident, but all that means is that I have to go to the leg press instead of doing squats.
I'd prefer to still be able to do squats, but you can work around it.
retards sit at 10% of their potential and then claim the fact that their potential caps out at 90% instead of 100% is the reason why they keep idling around at the bottom.

all of you gaining ridiculous amounts of unwarranted confidence by lifting and then becoming insufferable about it is enough to make me want to quit lifting. I don't want to share aspects of my lifestyle with you fucks.

I had a woman younger than me shill me yoga and saying that it's great for when you have a back ache and stuff, I just told her that I never get such aches (despite working 50 hours a week at a desk).
I'm sure that yoga is good for you but chicks would do anything except developing some muscles ffs, the only time I have gotten some back pain in my life was when I did no resistance training for months

NTA but I always thought yoga is gay af, I'm 38 now, I am mainly lifting weights but some time ago I wanted to do random cardio things so I followed one of those videos by a cardio bunny and she was doing yoga as a cooldown.
So I started doing it and it made me feel like a warmness was washing over me, literally like you are forcing your body to feel good.
There was a point that I felt like crying from that shit, so in the end I have confirmed that yoga is indeed gay as fuck since it makes grown men cry but I will keep doing it, there's something there.

Not him but as a mid 20s fit lean kissless virgin, 90% of the advice i get is to lie and be an asshole. One of my best friends is a fat NEET who lives in his parents' attic and he has fucked dozens of women. Since we are on very good terms i told him i cannot fathom what part of him women find attractive. He replied "no part of me is attractive to women". He just lies about everything. How he has shitloads of money. How he is a martial artist (he has never trained anything in his life). He makes up basically completely fake identities, sells the story to some chick at a party, fucks her once or twice then never sees her again.
Meanwhile i have never lied in my entire life. I make it a cornerstone of my personality to never lie, cheat, obfuscate, etc. So how do i get a girlfriend without lying or "bending the truth"?
>>
>>76610508
I don't care that i'm a virgin. What destroys my self-confidence is that after 25 years of life and all my accomplishments no woman has ever felt attracted to me. I know obese unemployed unwashed neckbeards who have had multiple relationships, yet i self improved for years, got jacked, lean, learned languages, music, got hobbies, "worked on myself" as everyone advised me, and got 0 results. I think paying for a hooker to lose my virginity would be the breaking point that turns me into an absolute lost cause subhuman

people act like women caring mostly about personality is a good thing but it's the opposite imo, personality is the hardest and most nuanced thing to change about yourself so it's maddening that you can have everything a woman could want on paper and still not be considered attractive

its also unmeasureable and is a get out of jail card because its impossible to reason against
if they say "personality" they actually mean that they got the ick for whatever reason

>be me 33
>meet a 22 year old on dog walks
>add her on ig
>she texts me a week later if i wanna join her
>go for a walk
>we vibe it off
>a week passes we go again
>we vibe it off
>I try to get closer
>Says 'you touch a lot i need my space'
>literally touched her hand 2 times to check her tattoos
>she then went on a trip 2 weeks with her family
>haven't talked much
>comes back and texts me if i wanna hang out again
>we go for a walk again
>we vibe it off
>she laughs at my stupid jokes
>she is in her feminine
>she asks me stuff about my exes
>interested to hear what i say

And yet i still get mixed signals from her. I lost a bet and had to give her a sourdough bread from my bakery and she came over with her sister and we chatted there a little bit and her 28 year old sister was hot af aswell and she was asking me questions. Those mixed signals are insane tho, she is always tired after 8 because she works a lot so i don't know what my plan should be, i maybe need to pick her up and go for a dinner or something? She is also lost every weekend with her friends.
