today i learned that men have a 'prime'. it's like a time of your life where everything should be peak. turns out, i'm no longer in what was supposed to be my prime. why did no one warn me?
>>84312738I wasn't good enough regardless for anybody in my prime so nothing was wasted, I tried to do the things I liked to do and I did it alone. I was hopeful to have kids but I know that's completely out of the picture now and I don't want to have a kid past the age of thirty. I already missed my prime reproductive window.
>>84312738>why did no one warn me?Did you not notice that all ads contained young people? And all music was for young people? And everyone wanting to look young and feel young? And people talking about how much fun they had when they were young? And complaining that youth is wasted on the young? And people getting divorced to have sex and feel young again? And people getting surgery to look a little bit younger? And exercising to feel younger? Any of that? You didn't notice?
>>84312788no, i was too busy learning how to wayline
>>84312738Because old people cope and tell you the best years are in the future rather than behind you. Both men and women believe they age like fine wine. None of this is true, everyone hates old people, yes even outside of dating you're disliked. Job hunting past the age of 30 becomes difficult and nearly impossible past 40.
>>84312793>no, i was too busy learning how to waylineI don't know what that is. I'm too old! AGHHHHHHHHHH
>>84312738Idk... When is that even supposed to be?With some people you can tell for a fact their 30s is their prime. Like if a guy is short and not very good looking and is now a doctor, that's his prime for sure.Btw I am evaluating prime in terms of social popularity because lets be real, it plays a massive role in a person's happiness.For a normie with a loving home, it could be either his teens if he has to work in his 20s, or could be in his 20s if he has a rich dad and is in a fraternity. I was so far from that growing up. So, so far. Normies lived in a different world to me, and I saw them as giants basically. My home life was so fucked up and I was so dysfunctional mentally. We weren't the same species.And to make matters worse, I was ugly. I really really wonder what my life would be like if I had the same fucked up childhood but wasn't ugly, or, the other way around.Regarding chads, their prime is either uni if they go there, or teens at high school if they don't. No question about it.But my point is, its not necessarily like, "the peak of your life are your 20s and if its not that way you're fucked". Unless you want to have an easy as fuck life with loving family, white and middle class, popular in school, good looking... Which sounds great but, maybe I am turbo coping, but it also sounds kind of souless to me. I feel that if I had never known suffering, I would be soulless compared to who I am.
>>84312814This kind of depends, it must be better in some ways, sure if you go to a party with young people they'll think you're old, but for jobs you can just lie on your resume and say you're a manager or whatever and get a better job by being a boomer.
>>84312833>And to make matters worse, I was ugly. I really really wonder what my life would be like if I had the same fucked up childhood but wasn't ugly, or, the other way around.Same. I wasn't too concerned about my looks back then because I was sheltered and actually believed the "men are shallow, girls don't care about looks" thing, but if I had been I'm sure I would be incredibly depressed over my looks alone. I used to fantasize about going back to my high school time with my current social experience and relive it, but with my poor looks I don't think I would have been very successful either. Everybody likes attractive people. Or girls. But I had to be an ugly guy.
>>84312738That's only because by 30 your back starts to hurt, doesn't have to do with success or happiness
