I'm 38 and I am still trying grinding away in order to try and obtain a life other guys I know already obtained by their 21st birthday, purely because they were born to well off parents who handed them everything, while also being tall and handsome, usually because they have a tall father whom they got their height from, and their looks from their trophy wife mother.

These guys have been living the life I want for nearly all their adult life, while I am middle age now and still haven't got it.

Don't get me wrong: I am not jealous or envious about it, I am just analyzing the situation for what it is. For the vast majority of guys I know who are my age, that have been successful all their adult life, it's because they got dealt extremely good cards, by their parents being attractive and financially successful.

Look at the ugly parents, they tend to produce ugly off-spring kids. This shit is all connected. To deny this is to ignore reality, a reality that is right there in front of your face....

But it's very rare that someone is willing to admit this. The people who got lucky with good parents + good genetics aren't willing to admit their success in life is all because of things out of their control, and the people who got unlucky with shit parents + bad genetics aren't willing to admit they have shit parents + bad genetics because they cannot psychologically face the reality that they come from a low tier bloodline

This is true, but you can make the best of the situation. My parents have always been bitter socialists who blame everything on successful people (people with good genetics, decent intelligence, and high social skills). All my life I've heard my father complain about rich people, tall people, people with high confidence, etc; and my mother complain about how it's society's fault that she and dad didn't make more money. It's a loser attitude they have internalized that I simply cannot understand. They were not horrible parents, but they absolutely did not provide me with the environment I needed to flourish. I have taken steps of my own to better myself by getting an education, working on my self esteem, building friendships, earning money. You can do it, but having supportive parents who understand society is crucial for getting a head start.

I got incredibly lucky in life like this and its always been apparent to me that people react to me differently and the money my family had afforded me opportunities other people didnt have. A lot of people act oblivious about why this happens to them but I really cant imagine telling an elementary school friend about your vacation and just having them react like o__o without realizing that what you have going on isnt the typical life experience.
I frequently feel bad about it, honestly. I vascilate between trying to help other people get ahead when I can and trying to just enjoy my life without feeling guilt for people who cant since it doesnt help anyone.

Im not saying its 100.00% perfect, but it's damn close.

You can still get a bad roll from good parents and genetics, but in majority of cases even an average roll from good parents + good genetics is far superior to an average roll from subhuman parents

I know its not impossible to "IMPROVE" a shitty starting position, but the point stands. You parents sound like even worse versions of my parents kek.

>>508580163 (OP)
1. You are lucky your father married your mother because he loved her, and didn't choose a wife based on who he thought would impress his peers (the trophy wife syndrome you mentioned). That might look great from the outside, but it's a different story inside.

2. Look at the most financially successful people in the world, Arnault, Bezos, Musk, et al. Not handsome.
Look at world leaders, artists, writers, inventors, etc, hard to find a handome one (picrel is an exception).
Looks are not your problem.
Height is not your problem.

Your problem is that you're doing the Millennial thing of not taking responsibility for your life's outcome - you even basically blamed Boomers, the Millennial trademark.

Forget about other people, live your life for yourself.
Stop comparing, it's childish and keeps your from ever appreciating your own life.

>>508581334
>but the point stands
Agreed. My parents gave me a shitty starting position. I inherited my parents' short stature, my parents' autism, as well as getting raised in a suboptimal way.

>>508580913
Logically I cant be jealous or envious because I cannot ever obtain their birth, life and experience...

In my view, you cant be jealous of something you cant have

I can be jealous and envious of someone who wins $100,000,000 from a lottery, because that $100,000,000 could have gone to me, so the experience is perfectly replicate-able

If someone is born to a HIGH IQ genius and inherits $100M from their HIGH IQ genius parents, that is their DNA, that $100M is connected to their DNA, and it can only be obtained via their DNA.

A lottery, while still random & unearned (like genetics) the difference is in the fact that I can also win a $100M lottery, after having already been born....no matter what my genetics and parents are like.... where as the $100M inherited by the kid with a high IQ parents who made money due to their HIGH IQ....that cannot be replicated post-birth...because the $100M made by the HIGH IQ family is by features of their DNA...

I wonder if this makes sense, I'll maybe have to explain it further...

Be a glass half full type of guy thats all you can do. Count your blessings. Life isn't that long so play the cards you are dealt and make the best of it.

>>508580163 (OP)
lmao tl;dr?

>>508581896
TLDR:
The poster, a 38-year-old man, believes success in life is mostly determined by genetics and parental wealth. He argues that many attractive and successful people were simply born into good circumstances, while those with less favorable genetics and poorer parents are set up to struggle. He claims most people can't admit this truth because it's too psychologically painful.


^ChatGPT'd a TLDR for u

>>508581865
I can do this. One blessing in my family, thankfully, is that my grandparents all lived to their late 90s, and there's no bad illnesses or diseases in the family line from anyone.

So at least from a health perspective, I'd say my family is 99th percentile in terms of health genetics.

But in terms of IQ and looks... its like 20th percentile

>>508580163 (OP)
I’d argue parents/vs genes are 80/20 on this one, assuming you’re not like retarded or the ugliest nigger on the face of the earth.

What I realized going into middle age is your parents/family are either anchors, avoided, or fallbacks. If you have a family that can afford to pay your rent, you can make riskier choices.

>plastic surgeons make stupid money
>14 years total education/residency
>can you afford 14 years of barely scraping by?

For the reverse, another important factor is you can’t really account for other people. So, you have a kid? Wife? Ill parents? Good luck doing anything beyond treading water if you have a trash foundation.

Humans are an unequal animal. Most of that inequality is biological and inherited. Ugly people, weak people, people who are always sick due to bad immune system genetics, people with bad personalities, all inherited. Intelligence, longevity, all of it.

Pareto principle applies to women too and 80% of white women are genetic dead ends. From the remaining pool, I'd say half don't want to get married and start a family but would rather live it up since they can coast on the high life easily.
All the good looking women who would make great wives and mothers are taken in high school and college the latest. Whatever remains is taken shortly after they enter the workforce. There exist very few good looking (7 and above) women that are single and have a good heart, are modest, raised in a decent family, soft spoken and pretty. The window of opportunity when they are single is very very narrow. These are the 2% of women, the highest stock of females this wonderful creation can offer. If you don't frequent their circles or the events they attend you have no chance of meeting them. Women also don't go anywhere alone, so whatever hobbies women have or events they attend it is done with their husband or boyfriend and if they are single with their groups of friends.

tldr; there simply aren't enough single good looking young white women to go around for everybody, they are rare and exist mostly in very niche places where men without social circles (loners) can't get in to

I read a thing where when we hit our 40s an are finally more well off the kids get more expensive and your parents need care so you’re back to being broke again.

I had a freind from high school whose dad was the smartest guy I knew worked as an engineer and his mother worked in the health care industry (im not going to say specifics). Really nice house etc. His grandad died and the family got significant inheritance etc. Great grades until the age of 15. Then he started trying to pursue a career on youtube and his parents kept trying to encourage him to go to college and be normal he refused. He now works on a building site and deals drugs on the side despite having as you stated higher tier blood line. He could have been a doctor or lawyer all sponsored by his parents but hes just a regular wagie now. Its not always like you say. Alot of the rich kids have personal issues you dont see. I dealt with alot of rich or well off lads in school and most of them are fucking psycho. No emotional maturity etc they just put on a mask. Life is just a series of choices you must make. If you choose the correct ones you win, if you choose wrong you lose. Sorry that you lost anon.

>>508582676
for sure bruh, better to give up right now

>>508582606
Yep.

1 guy specifically I went to high-school with.

Tall, Handsome, well off parents. They bought him his own McMansion at 18 years old.

He married his high-school girlfriend, who was the most attractive girl in high-school, she also came from a well off family.

Guess what?

By 18 they're home owners, by 21 their first kid, by 25 they have 4 kids. 3 boys and 1 girl.

They're 38 like me now too, but this guy got to experience what Ive been working towards, for 20 years already.

>>508582908
>Life is just a series of choices you must make.

Here's AI Explaining my post for my fellow Low IQ subhumans
The poster is sharing a personal example to support the previous point about how genetics and family wealth shape life outcomes. He talks about a high school classmate who was:

>Tall, handsome, and had wealthy parents

>Got a house at 18, married the most attractive girl (also from a rich family)

>Became a homeowner and father of 4 by age 25

Meanwhile, the poster is also 38 now, but feels like he's been working hard for 20 years just to get close to what that guy had handed to him early on.

Meaning: He’s expressing frustration and resignation over how much easier life is for those born into wealth and good genetics, and how that early advantage compounds over time.

All this is from 10 years before the current year.
It's over for short men now thanks to dating site filters.
It's over for poor men due to OF thots making millions.
Its over for low IQ guys due to influx of pajeets and chinkoids who are cheap and smarter than coons so can do average jobs.

People need to adjust their outlook for the current year and the outlook is fucking gloomy. The downward spiral will go fast now. You can feel it going.

You're missing the point. The issue isn't just about who had the most advantages — it's about what people do with those advantages. I had a friend with wealthy, supportive parents, a stable home, great grades — everything set up for success. But he made poor choices: dropped out, rejected the path his parents offered, and now works on a building site and deals drugs. He had every opportunity to become a doctor or lawyer, fully backed, and still ended up throwing it away.

What I'm saying is this: privilege is only potential — success is choice. Even when life gives you a strong hand, you can still fold it if you lack emotional maturity, discipline, or direction. A lot of rich kids are just wearing a mask — emotionally unstable, no inner structure, lost despite all the resources.

Yeah, your friend did everything right — good on him. But that doesn’t disprove the point. For every one like him, I’ve seen others who had the same setup and crashed. Life’s outcomes aren’t guaranteed by money or status. They’re shaped by the choices you make at critical moments. And some people, even the most privileged, choose wrong.

>>508583516
Yeah the average age of all the people hes saying are dumb/fat/ugly but still successful is probably 50 years old

Many such cases.

Genetics won't matter in 50 years when you can just change them. More importantly, not knowing this means you are probably Nietzsche's letzermesnch. Women are genetically coded to be letzermesnch but you don't have an excuse as a male.
