>38 years old white man in good shape>Norwood Rekt since my early 20's, I thought that was the worst thing that ever happened to me>Yesterday, I measured my height and I lost 0,5 cm in height, and my wife did not console me, it was frightening, I felt like if I had terminal cancer she also wouldn't lose 5 seconds of thought over it, she simply did not care (and not in a good way)Is every day of my life just going to be worse than the previous henceforth? What is the purpose of life after 30? People traditionally cope by feeling proud about material wealth and security, but even that is out of reach in the 21st century we are having to stress out over the price of eggs and meat, let alone a nice house which is north of 1 million euros/dollars
>>42406937You can still have sex I guess. But after your dick stops working as a man you should kill yourself. Women can have sex into their 90's wether they enjoy it's another question but if you got permanent limp dick all the "solutions" are garbage.>inb4 muh higher causeThere is none cope seethe dilate. Go fuck bitches while you still can.
>>42406955I am truly convinced that traditionally, in the baby boomer generation for example, men would get satisfaction out of the material wealth and security they had built for themselves, and they would usually also have children through which they could relive their life somehowBut now the economy is totally fucked, I can't even enjoy my food without regretting the expense, and I don't have children, and feel I couldn't afford them either
>>42406955>You can still have sex I guess.not as well as 20 years ago, it feels more like a chore to me now
>>42406959Material wealth doesn't bring me any satisfaction apart from not havig to work like a slave. I'd rather be poor with a loving wife than rich all by myself, but to each his own. Living for "spirituality" is cope for losers who never found or achieved anything they enjoy in life.
>>42406966Well then it's over, consider other forms of hedonism like alcohol, weed, opiates etc. Or just be sober and miserable and pick up on "spirituality" lmao.
dude you are hilariously and impossibly boring if this is legit how you feel, like it is genuinely more irrational to be this much of a literal boring rock than for the anime noose theory to be real. the fuck do you mean what's the purpose of like after THIRTY lmfao it is literally the same shit forever. so you have a whole lot of time to realize you're actually an interesting person instead of a sad sack of noised out shit that cannot feel the RSVP in the air.
>>42406967>not havig to work like a slave.this is a big one, I feel it's going to be out of reach for most people in the current and future generations in Europe (I live in Europe, can't speak on other places)
>>42406990>the fuck do you mean what's the purpose of like after THIRTY lmfao it is literally the same shit forever.I laid out the case very clearly, please read it again
>>42406993think like a slave, stay like a slave. literal skill issue, git gud and break your own stupid fucking self-fulfilling prophecy. it sucks.
>>42406999so many proud buzzwords in one phrase, not sure if you are a bot or a true insufferable with an inflate sense of self importance and success
>>42407001Both. Both is good. ;3you can do it too little buddy, just keep swimming! try not to dory your own ass out of forgetting what the signal sounds like when it's blasting in your ears though
>>42406937>What is the purpose of life after 30?well...what's the purpose of life at all?objectively there isn't oneyou either delude yourself about having one, or you kill yourself, or you go through the motions forever until your "natural" deaththe anti-natalists were right, this shit show called "life" is something we'd have been better off withoutand btw, it does only get worse after 30t.43
>>42407032no there is definitely a purpose of lifeinfinite noveltyif you can't conceive of that you're still too noised the fuck out and boring to get itbut everyone will eventually, especially mouthbreathers that browse 4chan. you're all way closer than you think. Nothing Ever Happens. Sooner Than Expected. Do I Even Have To Say It?
>>42407032>well...what's the purpose of life at all?Yeah man, I also pondered that question as a result (op here)but I mean, objectively, after the age of 16 -20 or so, every day is going to be worse as the previous one, as your body and brain start to regress, slowly but surely, into nothingness
>>42407038>infinite noveltythat's only sustainable up to a pointit's like video games stopped being truly fun or interesting when you turned 27well, eventually you get old enough to where "life" stops being interesting altogethernovelty is just not viable, long-term
>>42406937Stop fapping and if your hair isn't too far gone it would come back. If you waited too long, got no one but yourself to blame. Height is just gravity and compression, decompress yourself and you will magically gain an inch or two. Slide thread when you just need to increase your schizo-factor to enjoy life again. Don't like your purpose? Find one and live it, a magician makes the fantasy real. Hell, you can even fat-ugly-bastard max and summon demons for pacts to easily woo women and live the life of an NTR doujin, fate is in your hands.
>>42406937>>Yesterday, I measured my height and I lost 0,5 cm in height, and my wife did not console me, it was frightening, I felt like if I had terminal cancer she also wouldn't lose 5 seconds of thought over it, she simply did not care (and not in a good way)Dude, thats less than the difference between measuring yourself morning vs night (due to muscle tension). Be happy you have a wife and that the relationship is good enough that you anticipate that sort of response. In all honesty if you are right handed the right side of your body is shorter by more than half a cm.
>>42407831>Dude, thats less than the difference between measuring yourself morning vs night (due to muscle tension).yes but I measured again this morning and it's still missing 0,5 cm
>>42407779>>42407831thanks you guys for lifting my spirits
>>42406966> sex feels like a chore> measuring the hairs on your head and centimeters on your spine> still trying to compete with 20 yo chadsStop porn rekking your brain. E-thots and college coeds don't want a middle age low T broke wagie and they never will. The cost of the ones you want will increase the older you get. Love your wife. The solution to all of this angst is appreciating what you have instead of comparing it to a false idolatrous image cast by the internet. The reason people used to be happier when middle-aged goes beyond economy. They weren't trying to be like the hip youth and if they were it was ridiculed and called a crisis.
>>4240693740 here. Body is shit. But I can do more things now than at my 20's. Skill issue desu. >MaterialLift, train, get swole. It's literally easier now. You'll feel like a sexual tyrannosaurus in no time. Or get buddies to train with if you don't actually hate people. >But I hate sportGet Vidya and play them. Or make your own. Create a band and learn to play an instrument. Learn to fix roofs or some shit. Suck the fun out of it and then find the fun again. >But that's not what I want. Then find something else you enjoy. Do you like to travel? Go on tours like a literal boomer or if you have no money go backpacking through several countries and get skinwalked. It's fun if you come back alive. If you don't... Well, no more worries. >SexYou don't need a Bugatti to get girls. You're older and can probably woo the shit out of people with your sheer presence. >But I'm married. Find new ways to make it fun. Not talking about kinky shit. The flame of passion was always burning inside you. Don't want your wife to find out you're a boring incel? That's what babies are for even though they kill the fun in a way. Kids are great. Raising them is fun.>But I want to be spiritual.Meditate. Learn to see, perceive and manipulate energy. Spend a month trying to summon rain like an idiot or something, but actually pour your soul into it. Study yourself. Your dreams. Your deepest yet simplest core. There are literal gods, and some are kind and just and will help you. Seek them and let them find you. Or go full edge Lord. Just don't stay where you don't want to stay and don't be an asshole. >No, that's hard. Lucid dream, astral project, connect with higher planes of reality and fuck off like an actual playah. GG ez. Methinks you're just bored with your life. Wage slaving and losing romance. Yeah, that sucks. Make it better
>>42408199Pure unadultered copium> Lift, train, get swole. It's literally easier now. You'll feel like a sexual tyrannosaurus in no time. Or get buddies to train with if you don't actually hate people.Except for every biological fact that shows it's much more difficult to get fit once you're north of 20s. Your metabolism slows. Declining testosterone makes it more difficult to build muscle and more likely to get unsightly stubborn fat deposits like gyno. If you try to supplement with exogenous hormones, you're much more likely to get the bad side effects like cancer or erectile dysfunction because your telomeres and cardiac health can't keep up. More likely to have injuries, joint wear and tear, and take a longer time to recover.> You don't need a Bugatti to get girls. You're older and can probably woo the shit out of people with your sheer presence.That's not how it works. Quality young women want a man their age or +<5 years. Add OP's financial struggle and his chances plummet. Any hot woman would expect to be financially compensated in an arrangement akin to prostitution with the "girlfriend experience" or "trophy wife" treatment that always leaves a tinge of hollow truth of being used, which is spiritual cancer if you have any self-awareness. The only women who seek out older men for genuine affection are discards from their peers: fat, ugly, or bpddemons from repeated molestation. > Kids are great. Raising them is fun.OP is already drowning financially, like the majority of this world under current rulership. If he waits too long while building a new empire, the chances of his aged sperm giving rise to the next Chris Chan skyrockets. He's already in the danger zone. Let this be a lesson to the young men reading this. Stop wasting your life with NEETitude and procrastination now. Build a solid foundation so you aren't making this thread in 2036. Aging doesn't have to be shit, but it's pretty inescapable if you don't prepare correctly.
>>4240693710 is when you gain will of your own 20 is when you grasp life30 is when you become learned of in life 40 is when you make up for past mistakes sins 50 is when you just walk the path you've set 60 is when you chill and do drugs 70 is when you zen out and prepare for/overcome death 80 is when you you teach guide be the wise man 90 is when you show off you righteousness just by being 100 is when death comes one foot in the grave 110 is by the will of god alone you are still alive 120 a true grasp of death 130 wtf a sage of death 140 this man has overcame death itself 150 chill kami chill160 i am bec0me drugs one with the fungi 170 i am the earth the beggining and end of all being 180 i am the force that guides its structure 190 i am what i am 200 the god head itself
>>42408384>10 is when you gain will of your own>20 is when you grasp life>30 is when you become learned of in lifeI messed up all 3 of theseIt's so over
>>42408323Sounds like 4chan demoralization drivel. If your sandcastle falls you laugh and build another one the best you can. It will fall too so you may as well have fun doing it. Also>Supplements Fuck no. Avoid when you're young, avoid when you're old.
>>42408399youre in luck read what the 40s are for its like this shit was set up a certain way 4 a reason or some shit
>>42408442It's not demoralization if his expectations are retarded. If you expect to be as hot and fit at 40 as you could have been in your 20s, attract women with some vague old man aura, reproduce healthy children while your telomeres shorten everyday, and OP expects his wife to react like he got cancer when he just lost a fraction of a centimeter in height, you're going to be very fucking disappointed by life. Grow up. You're not special. The world doesn't owe you anything. It never has.
