Why does society mock older guys who actually stay active instead of doing some geriatric cardio circlejerk?
Had a conversation with a landwhale at work who said "aren't you a little old for skateboarding anon", yeah sure my miniscus may be damaged and I have shitty ankles but that doesn't stop me from doing the shit I like.
What got into people's heads that being 40 is akin to having one foot in the grave. I still have the same level of explosivity I did since I never stopped doing that shit

I'm 1992 boomer and i met this 2003 girl from the dog walks and my mother and my sister insists that i find someone my age and that this is unacceptable and people will think i'm weird, my sister is 37 and wants to hook me up with her 34 year old friend, i was skeptical at the beggining but then i thought why would my mom and sister want my downfall? I ghosted the zoomer girl and i'm thinking of meeting the 34 year old (she only had 3 ex boyfriends according to my sister) so she is almost a virgin

>>76552783
>i thought why would my mom and sister want my downfall?
Because they are women.

>>76552783
Hahaha imagine being afraid of doing something that is literally legal

>>76552783
They're jealous of younger women. Next

>>76552794
>Because they are women.
Anon i mean it's my mother, she gave me birth. Would your wife give a bad advice to your son? cmon

>>76552799
I'm not afraid, i just believed the reasoning of my sister. She wants me to be happy

>>76552803
>They're jealous of younger women
Wait, this makes sense, my sister was really jealous of my ex greek gf (she 23 when i had her and my sister was 30 at the time) and my sister was always jealous of her beauty and clothes and wealth and EVERYTHING you can think off, i think also the bastard cunt bum ex of my sister secretly wanted her. FUCK you are right next thread i'm so naive.

>>76552810
The only groups of people that have legit told me they find it weird for 30 yo to go after boomers are
>gen z boys in their 20s
>women in their 40s
Everyone else besides these two groups don't care
I think you can see why they would be assmad about that shit

>>76552820
*To go after zoomers

>>76552810
Here's what you should do because clearly you're a massive pussy who listens to women
>go out with the zoomer chick
>go out with the boomer chick
why fuck one when you can fuck em all

>>76552774 (OP)
I'm in my 30s and at this point I've spent half my life learning to do stuff that others have told me I'm too old to start.
The first one I encountered was
>you can't learn a new language when you're this old, I know because I heard it on TV!
Guess what, I'm fluent in 3 languages now, and understand about half a dozen well enough to read news articles and the like.

Fuck those people.
This Spring I bought some clubs and spent a few hours a week learning how to juggle them. Burned tens of thousands of calories in the process and made some new acquaintances in the local park. Meanwhile my colleagues who said they'd feel embarrassed to play with juggling props as an adult spent their spare time getting dumber and fatter while watching Netflix.

>>76552783
>I ghosted the prime age, fertile healthy young woman
>I am thinking about meeting a ran through hoe who will probably have complications when giving birth
>I am listening to the advice of old hags

>>76552783
>>76552810
Fathers are for advice, mothers are for support.
Most women are too easily swayed to be able to give sound advice, and so even though she might be well-intentioned, a mother's advice can't be taken too seriously.
By the sounds of it, however, your mother doesn't even support you, considering she puts your presumed happiness at finding this '03 girl behind social stigma.

>>76552839
Tips on learning languages - especially the early stages?

>>76552783
Started dating a 10 years younger girl last year, best decision of my life. Best relationship I ever had.

>>76552774 (OP)
They are jealous because their dreams and interests died a long time ago

>>76552783
I know this is bait but I got fucking angry anyway.
Well played you bastard.

>>76552783
This bait is fucking amazing, well done

>>76552912
Comprehensible input.
Tedious at first, no subtitles- start with kids shows and really basic stuff that has lots of images. Literally shows directed towards toddlers to start. If you can't stomach it, you'll have to do some rote learning.
>>76552774 (OP)
You need grown up successful friends. Almost all of my successful friend group has active hobbies. Most people I train bjj with have successful careers. You need to be disciplined in order to stay active past 30, and that usually translates to success in other areas.

>>76552820
Sounds like zoomers should date old millennial cougars then they won’t be crying about the silver fox and his cub

I started riding at dirt bike at age 31 and now I Race them

>>76552774 (OP)
>Why does society mock older guys who actually stay active instead of doing some geriatric cardio circlejerk?
that's your immediate circle / bubble

in my family the fat uncle gets laughed at and never joins for the yearly family skiing trip
and growing up, we usually went surfing in summer (to our families beach home) and everyone was there, said uncle and a few other family members that couldn't surf, because they're fat and lazy, were mocked relentlessly

at my workplace (which pays 100% of a gym membership as benefit) almost everyone is kinda fit, yes also old people
either gym, hiking, bicycle racing, tennis etc.
our CEO is early 50s and jacked, mogs most of this board (including me)
and I'm pretty sure we're allowed to openly discriminate against fatties when hiring kek
last month literally declined an (fat) applicant because, quote our hr women "he would devour the snack and smoothie bar, too costly"

>>76552783
You are lucky to have women in your life who care for you anon, go for the 34 and make your sister proud

>>76552783
grim if real

>>76552774 (OP)
>Why don't middle age adults lift or do more sports?
Because it hurts.
Also, there's no fiscal value in it.
Fun Fact: being an adult male in his 40s is fairly high cost! This only increases with marriage, children, elderly parents (doubled with wife) etc. Running across a field to tackle someone without redemption becomes surprisingly less valuable!!

>>76553609
>Because it hurts
Boohoo nigga

>>76552820
This, nobody genuinely gives a shit, zoomers dudes get assmad at people who had more time to develop their careers, independence and social skills than they did taking girls in their age group. It’s the same for every generation, you have to compete with dudes way older than you when you come of age
Older women get assmad because it reminds them how important their vanished youth is when successful men are willing to go after girls who have literally nothing to offer but their young bodies, all of their hard work and life experiences are worth jack shit in comparison

>>76552774 (OP)
Watching this webm, I felt a mix of emotions. Jealousy, rage, envy, inadequecy. I didn't know why at first, but as I kept watching, I realized the girl is the same age as me. That realization led to the thought "he stole her from me". That's an absurd thought, of course. I know neither of these people, and I don't feel much attraction towards that woman beyond mild lust. I think the reasoning for these feelings is simply the fact that I don't believe I'd be capable of attracting a woman, especially not one my age. I want to blame the man in the webm, or older men in general, or just society at large, but I know the fault rests squarely on my shoulders. I still have to put in the work to feel worthy.

>>76552774 (OP)
As a younger adult I lift to physically dominate middle aged adults.

>>76553751
>but I know the fault rests squarely on my shoulders
No. The solution is up to you but that doesn't mean you created the problem. Human existence is deeply fucked and it's up to you to fix it.

>>76552960
elaborate more

>>76552774 (OP)
cuz they have kids and a family

>>76552774 (OP)
They’re mocking the skateboarding, not physical activity.

Because whether you like it or not, certain activities like going down slides, swings and skateboarding is associated with children or teens

Yeah you're having fun. You're not increasing your status or smv. Your tribe is laughing at you. Or worse you will get injured and cannot help your tribe with even the menial shit you do.

It gives women the ick. So does videogames

If you want to get anywhere in society or with women you have to be very boring, you have to be a social status entertainer, you don't get to be an grown man learning to skateboard and think that women are going to just say "oh that's cool".

Life doesn't work like that.

>>76553272
gigabased are you hiring

>>76552774 (OP)
>t. low income career, single, and without children
idk man

>>76553795
Ok but why it's an Olympic sport. It's a pretty difficult and technical sport too. Not everyone can eat shit 10 times a session for landing a trick

>>76553937
It's ironic that people still make this association that skating is for kids. Most skaters I see at the park are middle age

>>76553937
Bro I don't give a fuck what a bunch of old hags think about skating. Yeah sure when they were younger only lil kids skated but it's an extreme sports since the late 80s lol with the x games and all and now it's literally an Olympic sport. I don't think pickle ball is an Olympic sport so they can fuck off.
Plus there's a bunch of chicks in the skate community, albeit most of them are posers.
My girlfriend isn't a retard so she thinks it's cool I'm passionate about something fun and she says when we have kids I'll be able to bond with them over something.

>>76553937

>Don't enjoy life goyim, everything you do has to be for the benefit of reproduction only and improving your social status

>start slowing down in late 20s coz hormones go out of wack from all the junk food and sedentary lifestyle
>everyone else is slowing down too so it seems normal
>only hang out with fat slobs coz fit gals don't wanna interact with fatsos socially
it's called being left behind and people don't talk about it coz it's pretty much unfixable unless you personally decide to fix it.
no one wants to be fat and unathletic but when it's time to put on a pair of running shoes and do an hour of cardio every day suddenly everyone is too busy and has a "real life'

>>76552774 (OP)
Because we have jobs and families to look after, retard. You're a manchild because you're skateboarding instead of raising kids.

>>76554939
Ok but if I said I enjoyed pickleball or tennis or golfing for some reason you wouldn't call me a manchild, even tho skateboarding is a way more difficult sport on a technical and physical level

>>76554939
>Because we have jobs and families to look after, retard. You're a manchild
He said as he posted a deadbeat dad and a childless manchild fucking his mother's clone and a orphan woman that got daddy issues.

>>76554994
>neither of these both.
SAAAAR

>>76555001
It's an actual sport for adults. Skating after 30 is cringe.

Lmao tennis is incredibly gay. most fags I know irl love tennis

So is breakdancing lmao.

>>76555007
Now this is some cope. Tennis players get astronomical amounts of pussy.

>>76555030
Only the top tier tennis players. The average tennis player is a boomer faggot with arthritic knees.
Breakdancing is literally more technical and difficult and a more holistic workout than tennis kek.
Look at NYC BreakDancers, they're ripped af. Tennis players look like shit

>>76555011
It's cringe because people like pic related skate in their 30s and 40s.

>Just say you ate shit the first time you tried riding a board
I never tried because I wasn't a nerd in high school.

>>76555034
Oh so you're just a pussy ok makes sense

>>76555032
>random monkey dances are more difficult than a 6-hour session of tennis

>>76552774 (OP)
Adults don't do self improvement because adult life is (artificially constructed) Hell. You spend 40+ of your most productive waking hours at work, in order just to be able to survive, while taxes and inflation take 50-70% of everything you will ever make.

You think when that's done, the average person has any energy left to learn a new skill, create art, study Plato or quantum mechanics?

Nigga just wait till ur 35-40 and looking at mortgages and insurance rates.

I spend all of my free time learning new certs for my career, and I feel like I'm moving at a snails pace, because I lose 50 hours per week to merely existing in my "first world" country.

>>76555037
I did weightlifting and boxing in HS and college kek. Some faggot skater calling anyone else a pussy lmao what a world.

>>76555038
Yes. Look how ripped and how difficult these moves are to pull off.

For a woman.

>>76555052
That doesn't even make any sense lol

>>76555061
Skaters are low test twinks, IQ-let. Have you ever seen a masculine skater? No, of course not. There's no such thing.

>>76555064
It's a sport like any other dude don't be such a crying retard

>>76555064
And boxers aren't iqlet? They legit can't form normal sentences lol.

>>76555038
Yes lol. I'd love to see you pull off any of these backflips

>>76555091
I'd love to see you do any kind of physical activity for 6 hours, retard.

>>76555085
>It's a sport
Lol no. It's a children's activity.

>>76555088
Some, some not. Guys like Wlad and Mohammad Ali are highly intelligent.

>>76555097
Bro I genuinely think you're retarded if you think the skills here are less demanding and difficult than a 6 hour session of tennis kek

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Df22UOXzOw

>>76555100
>Mohammad Ali
Lmao, he wasn't lol. Maybe he sounded profound to esl retards such as yourself but in the US he sounds just like every other boxer with brain damage

>>76555100
Do a kickflip then

>>76555102
They are. There's a reason teenagers can pull this off while elite tennis players need years of practice. Also, there's a reason tennis players make all that money and get all that fame while skaters are literally whos.

>>76555105
Ali was an absolute genius in the ring and in marketing himself.

>>76555100
>It's a children's activity
Maybe in whatever Slavic shithole you're from kek. In most of the developed world its a real sport

>>76555107
I could probably learn to do a kickflip years before you do anything I'm capable of, like benching 4plates.

>>76555111
> In most of the developed world its a real sport

>>76555107
>teenagers can pull this off
They can't lol. It requires years of practice to get this good. And skating has been around for far less than tennis. But the sport is evolving really fast. Look at the stuff nyjah Houston can pull off. The technical difficulty is insane.

>>76555116
>nyjah Houston
A perfect example of an elite skater being literally who IRL.

>>76555117
Less people watch skating. Who cares lmao, we're arguing about the technical difficulty of the sport not the popularity. Most extreme sports aren't mainstream

>>76552783
found a picture of you king

>>76555112
you most likely can't tho. Since you've never ridden a board

>>76555117
Lol I'm done being baited by you. I got better things to do

I'm 40 and I ride a kickscooter everywhere. Like an adult one with big wheels.

Really freaks people out that I don't own a car.

Why would I, I have a good career, wife, kids, I just enjoy scooting.

>>76555100
I tried tennis and golfing. And to honest they're on the same level of technical difficulty as skating. But for some reason it's more acceptable to golf or play tennis as an adult than skating. I think skating is mostly practiced by teens because it fucka up your knees pretty badly and it's harder for adults to learn coordination and balance skills than teens.

>>76554896
Because we have a high rate of manchildren trying to redo their wasted childhood and be cool skater dudes When they should be working hard and raising kids, taking their family out etc

>>76554904
Yeah, cope.
You're 40+ and saying "bro". Cringe mate. You don't have a girlfriend and if you do, she gets the ick from you skating but just copes with it. Probably because you are her beta provider.
If you were really a "cool skater dude" about that life you wouldn't be coming here and seething that a "land whale" called you out on your lifestyle lmao

Your whole post is you trying to justify your hobby. Imagine having to justify yourself like that lmao

>>76554914
You can do whatever you want in life. You can shove a skateboard up your ass and waddle down the road with it. Just don't expect everyone to say whao there goes a cool dude and we rate him highly in the tribal setting. Of course they won't. You have to understand reality.

>>76555170
I skated as a kid and will keep going I don't care..it's stupid fun and I enjoy it.
Good thing there's still plenty of manchildren out there who enjoy life like me instead of being corporate cattle on the verge of suicide

>>76555170
>Tribal setting
>beta provider
Bro you're a cringe ass faggot lmao

>>76555182
That's fine "bro", but take a look in the mirror and really think about why that old fat woman's comment hurt you so much. Maybe you aren't so confident in yourself. Maybe you need to find something more congruent with your lifestyle. You gave me a wall of cope about skating being an olympic sport and other dumb shit, it really sounded insecure

I mean, at least you're apparently good at it and not some guy trying to learn to Ollie for the first time at 32, breaking both wrists and being fired from his job

Don't get me wrong. Skating is fucking awesome. Perhaps the coolest hobby to ever exist. But there's a time and place for things to be considered cool and fitting with ones lifestyle and environment imo. Some teenager skating naturally, maybe going pro as an adult. Yeah okay. But essentially being a jester on a little wooden board has it's lifespan. How many times can a monkey do a little kickflip on his wooden board before the tribe thinks, " yeah, nah. go and get some firewood now"

Anything where you do "tricks" is usually because you want you flex your talent in the eyes of others and impress. If there was no one left on earth, would you still skate. I bet you wouldn't. It's one of those social flex hobbies but the criteria for it being cool Vs lame are set in stone by the societal expectations around you

Do you understand "bro"?

>>76555203
I do tricks for myself bro and to impress other skaters. I don't care what normies think. And it's one of the many hobbies I do I just don't understand why for some fucking reason
>pickleball = acceptable
>skateboarding = cringe and lame
for many adults. You have to admit it's an absurd criteria.. I never understood the irrational hatred people have for this sport.
And even if someone wanted to learn it later in life who cares. No one cares if you learn

>>76555203
>Tribe
what /pol/ brainrot is this. We don't live in tribes anymore. We live in alienating apartment complex or suburbs devoid of any humanity.

>>76555203
>Maybe you need to find something more congruent with your lifestyle
Oh you mean watching netflix goyslop and stuffing my face with cake. No thanks.
Also the rush of skating is something that can't be replicated with other sports. There's an intense adrenaline rush knowing you can fuck up your face if you miss that one landing that you don't find in other sports. It's not about tricks or impressing anyone lol. You would know if you actually skates

>>76555235
Biology is still the same.

>>76555243
Some martial arts can get you that same high but bjj or mma are bit taxing on your body after a while and that rush dissipates once you get used to the pain. With skating you can simply do gnarlier tricks

>>76555221
You're too low IQ to get it. Let me explain

As you just admitted, you do it to show off to other skaters. So it's a little tribe within itself that is pre occupied with basically being jesters and amusing each other with neat little tricks.

Pickleball and other racquet sports have an element of direct real time competition, team building and low injury risk. Its a simply ball game for adults and children alike. It's a social bonding time, not a flex of clown tricks up your sleeve as you balance on a board and slide your foot on it in whilst jumping at certain angles, to impress other people

>>76555235
We're still animals. We still size everyone up and categorize them based on their value to the tribe. Don't be so naive

>>76555243
>It's not about tricks or impressing anyone lol

Thats literally all it is

If you were the last person on earth, you wouldn't skate

>>76555264
Isn't that what lifting is too retard
You guys want to have big muscles to show off and to get laid

>>76555268
I would skate because it's fun. Its artistic and a form of self expression

>>76555339
Exactly. But that actually gets you respect and you become stronger and more valuable

>>76555342
Sure you would pal

>>76555348
Not really. Most people think you're a cringe roid tranny. Women don't even like muscles past a certain point. They prefer lean bodies. They laugh at try hard dicklets like you

>>76555348
Listen man, it's a good rush and it's fun. Why do people overthink shit

>>76555203
That would be true 20 years ago. But most skaters are middle age now. Zoomers don't like skating and it's mostly millennials who were alive during the peak of skating with the Tony hawk games and all that are still into it.

>>76555359
Well it's always good to be stronger and healthier

>>76555367
Op is the one crying about it

>>76555374
Soo... Midlife crisis

>>76555396
Or simply people who just enjoy skating lol

>>76555396
>Well it's always good to be stronger and healthier
Agreed which is why lift. and skating helps you lose way more fat than running

>>76555116
>They can't lol. It requires years of practice to get this good.
reminder that at the olympics everyone got mogged by an 11yo
Imagine Sinner losing a match against a prepubescent child

>>76555525
What about surfing or snowboarding? Are those real sports to you?

>>76555525
Some tricks are easier to pull off when your center of balance is lower. It's almost like tennis and skating are completely different sports

i have a mixed group of friends and every single woman in it is thirsty as fuck for me, even if they aren't single (except one actually) they seethe so hard at any of the 30s+ guys dating a woman even mid 20s. And one of the women in it who's 35 still talks about drama that happened at her highschool

The tribe is retarded and fat. Since I'm a human, I can overcome my base instincts for the most part.

My mom has tried to ruin every single relationship with a woman I've ever had. Do not listen to her advice. I think my mom sees me as a crutch for when she gets old, so she doesn't want to compete with anyone for my time and energy.

I'm sure most who would want to play sports are overweight or have injuries from high school.

>>76552774 (OP)
I don't know wtf you're talking about, zoomies are partying and there's a huge roooning wave between 30-40 year olds. Not even mentioning the ones that are getting into cycling, pickleball, paddle and all sorts of martial arts. I'm 37 years old and always loved skating, now I have the money to go on surfint and snowboarding trips and shiet.

She was hot in her 20's but now she got FAT af and i'm talking final stages of architech, the funny thing she still thinks she is not fat but w/e, she is easily 88kg at 164cm

>i just believed the reasoning of my sister. She wants me to be happy
If some retarded 50 IQ down syndrome homeless nigga told you to invest $1 million into Gamestop stocks, would you also do it because he wants you to be happy?

What kind of a logic is that? It's irrelevant what people intentions are, the question is, is their advice intelligent. If it's coming from a woman, the answer is always no.

>>76553609
it only hurts when you're an unfit fat fuck

>>76553751
That's the right mindsed bro. It's hard to change the system, and i some ways impossible because it's just a result of human biology. All you can do is grind to make sure you get higher in the pecking order.

Mate to be honest i think quite a lot is about how you carry and dress yourself. If you carry and dress yourself in a mature and confident manner, no one is going to give a shit about you doing something like surfin or skateboarding at a later age. Only when you already have an immature man child vibe, doing such an activity willl exacerbate things.

We don’t have time and are afraid of failure. I wish I could learn hockey but I’ll suck

Literally me too buddy. Love to skate and surf more than anything. Still climb trees and buildings like monke. Still run and play sports and play video games with my kid. Would still do combat sports too but there's just not enough time for everything. Life is short man, do what yoy want. Most people probably wish they could do what you do. Let them bowl and play pickleball and golf. Just keeping beint you, we need more boomers like us imo.

Weightlifting doesn't make you tough. Kek. Lifters always think they're turbochad. It's like the bare minimum for living. Bonus points for boxing if not a larp.

This. People in their 40s are out jogging, cycling, kayaking, hiking, swimming, just lifting weights at the gym, etc.

You really really shouldn't be skateboarding past the age of like 25-29 unless you've been a pro skateboarder all your life or you're out skateboarding with your kids.

You know how we make fun of redditors for dressing up like Super Mario and playing Nintendo in public?

It's kinda like that.

An hour spent trying to impress 14 year olds trying to double ollie reverse dab grind a rail or whatever would be better spent doing any other sport or activity.

Like I'm assuming you don't want to be seen as a Poser by your peers of middle school teenagers so you gotta dress up in ripped up cargo pants and wear a NOFX or Cypress Hill t-shirt?

>>76560367
Nice B8 M8.

Post body. You won't.

>>76560382
I don't have to, my point still stands.

Skateboarding is barely a sport, most of the kids at the skatepark are all dumpy from getting high and eating an entire bag of cheese or whatever and drinking beer all the time.

Most of it is just you using whatever downhill or down ramp momentum and you maybe jump up and hold your balance for a few seconds.

>>76553773
I meant it's my fault I was feeling those emotions. I'm the reason I have such low self esteem that a vapid tiktok affected me so much.
>>76559930
I'm not sure how much I care about being higher in the pecking order, I just want to not care so much about my place i in it

>>76560440
In what world is "skateboarding is mostly for weed smoking teenagers" supposed to be bait?

>>76552774 (OP)
>tfw will never have this

What's the point?

>>76560367
Man normies and retards are so susceptible to media stereotypes lmao
Most skaters I know are average dudes in their mid to late 20s working normal ass jobs. Most of them don't drink or do drugs because that shit wrecks your body if you wanna remain healthy enough to skate
I simply don't see how skating is any different from all the other sports you listed lol
The average skater today is probably in his 30s since skating peaked decades ago anyway. I see more old guys at the park than kids.
Zoomers are playing Fortnite while the older guys are shredding
And I'm assuming you live in a small hick town because in a big city there's all sorts of people on skateboards. I just saw a woman in her 60s cruising on a longboard today and it wasn't even the weirdest person I've witnessed today

>>76552783
100% bait

>>76552774 (OP)
OH MY GOD PEOPLE, A CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE MAN GOT AN ATTRACTIVE GIRL

>>76560488
Because real life isn't mid90s and you clearly don't go outside enough to meet peopl

>>76560412
You listed hiking as a sport so your opinion is worthless

There's a skatepark up the road from where I live and the average demographic is exactly what I described.

>5-8 year olds wearing full protective gear
>their 40 year old parents
>15-20 year olds smoking weed

it was essentially like that as well 20 years ago when the closest skateboard was two neighborhoods away.

Then you've got all the street skaters being a nuisance on people's private property. It's not a bunch of 30 year olds throwing up tags at 2AM throwing beer bottles around, I would hope.

>I just saw a woman in her 60s cruising on a longboard today and it wasn't even the weirdest person I've witnessed today
well not everyone lives in San Francisco or Portland.

Why? Do you skate?

>whining about "muh private property"
Well, you surely own a firearm, stock ammo, and train regularly to be able to defend your private property, right?

Anon, my GF is autistic.
She doesn't give a fuck and also just does what is fun regardless off what society thinks.
