My life is over because I'm 36. I'm too old to get a girlfriend, too old to get a job, too old for doing sports, and my body is giving out.
Any advice?

The saddest part is that I will never get a gf in this life. I lived an entire lifetime without experiencing high school puppy love or "oneitis". These days I just watch vintage anime and dream about the past. My best moments are when I play 2000s music, look at my /b/ folder from 2008, and dream of the girls I knew back then, thinking "what if", dreaming of a scenario where I actually got my high school crush.
I'm forever stuck in the past that slipped through my fingers.

Fuck, I guess I'll build a room where every item is from the 2000s and build some online space where every file is pre-2010 so I can bask in the past until I die. 36 is pretty old, I might die in a few years.

i need to be taken out back or be messaged
one happens eventually

BUMP I need advice, will be turning 35 soon.

I cant heal the pain but at 36 atleast you can say you've gotten to experience some cool stuff
>nickelodeon rise with the originals like ren & stimpy, Doug, rugrats, hey Arnold's, and Rocko's Modern life then culminating in arguably the most popular cartoon of the 21rst century SpongeBob
>every cool capcom franchise started in the late 80s-Early 90s and you got to see that (Megaman, Resident Evil, Street Fighter)
>You got to see the rise and fall of the slasher movie genre
You know life dosent really have a purpose and we will always be suffering to some degree, so although it hurts, maybe the past can be a reminder of happier times as well anon.

>>every cool capcom franchise started in the late 80s-Early 90s and you got to see that (Megaman, Resident Evil, Street Fighter)

Thanks anon but I was 2 years old at the time, I've always thought Megaman to be some boomer thing for people who lived before my time
But ofc from your eyes I'm the boomer

Loneliness is worse for your health than smoking.

>>81656233
The modern tiktok zoomer mindset is that life ends at 30
29 is young, 30 is dead.

>>81655426 (OP)
>too old to get a job
you wish buddy now get back in the cage.

>>81656552
So, what, I'm not good for anything anymore EXCEPT wageslaving?
Funny how THAT is the one thing people still think I'm capable of. Not the fun stuff

>>81655426 (OP)
Go the the gym and start hitting on every girl you see. Men can date into their 50s you will be fine

>>81655426 (OP)
I'm a 42yo wizard, as I got older I stopped caring about shit like that, but it was hard and took a long time to accept that it is what it is. My advice is just to look after yourself as best you can and find ways to make yourself happy.

>>81655426 (OP)
>too old to get a girlfriend
You're confusing depression with erectile dysfunction.

>>81655426 (OP)
why is your body giving out at 36? whats going on

>>81656233
And even 80 isn't particularly good. Three of mine lived to 90.

>>81656904
>>81656946

20yo anons have told me that after 30 life just ends and your body gives out

My grampa was still perfectly fine and independent at 94. Lived alone without assistance, built cars and went to see his war buddies.
He was in better shape than today's 30yo doomer coomers.
My goal is to be like that in his 90s.

>>81656980
I wonder what it's like being a 94yo war veteran listening to 30-year-olds cry about dying soon.
They're one third of your age.

>>81656233
My grandma nearly lived to see her 101th birthday. She lived through the great depression and two world wars. It is hilarious to me that OP thinks he wont be suffering for another 5 decades at least

>>81655426 (OP)
>36 is pretty old
it is, you are near the halfway point to average living expectancy for most countries and let's be real after 25 each year your body is getting weaker and weaker.

>>81657172
well that's the thing about your grandma was she at least had a family around her that whole time that she created

what does OP have? Us?

>>81657407
>36 is fuckin old

Anon you're most likely 25 or so. Stop pretending you're so much younger than OP for being like 10 years younger
I hate 20-somethings who pretend to be zoomers

t. 35yo

>>81657496

My mom is 60 and she's told me from her perspective 20 and 30 year olds are one and the same.
But on 4chan where almost everyone is in their early 20s it's hilarious to see how from their perspective 30 is like max age for a human and 30yos are "so different from us young people"

>>81657514
lol that's just your boomer mom wanting to believe that her children are still so young so she can believe that she's still young. It's also why they insist on pretending like Harrison Ford is still a viable action star, or waiting until you're 43 to have your first child through IVF is sensible, and having 90-year-olds in charge of the government is totally fine.

>>81657704
If you're 25 and think a 31-year-old is a half dead boomer grampa but you yourself are a strapping young lad, you're delusional and I have no words

>>81657704
>boomer

Stop age shaming you tiktok brainwashed fuck
People older than you are BETTER than you, not inferior
You're part of the worst generation in the history of mankind literally all you can do is troon out, whine online and pop depression pills
My generation BUILT the world on which you leech.

If people born in the 2000s weren't already bad enough, they top it off by inventing buzzwords and repeat them online ad nauseum to cement some kind of mass psychosis that young people run the world

I've seen middle aged people bow in front of 20yos just because youth is worshipped to an unhealthy degree in society it's fucking INSANE
A lot of older people have started thinking young people are gods or divinities manifested in physical form
"Oh great young one grant me your wisdom"

There are loads of loser dudes that get gfs at different ages here are some I know
Loser 1 had gf at 18 til 21 then no gf til 34
Loser 2 had gf at 17 til 19 then married another woman at 28
Loser 3 had gf at 25 til 26 then nothing but flings and finally got gf 35 that he aims to marry
Loser 4 had gf at 21 til 22 then no gf til 40
Loser 5 has never had gf til 36

You can stop crying now and start working on yourself

>>81657901
I'm 34 and I'm not saying my life is over, I'm saying that perspectives on age have become incredibly warped over the last two decades, mostly because boomers like your mom don't want to admit that their youth is over.

>>81658282
Use the word "boomer" in my face outside the Internet and see what happens
I hate that word so much it's unreal
When I turned 20 my 15yo cousins started calling me a boomer.
At 29 I was a boomer according to 20-year-olds
I've been a fuckin boom-boom my WHOLE FUCKING LIFE

>>81658325
>At 29 I was a boomer according to 20-year-olds
>I've been a fuckin boom-boom my WHOLE FUCKING LIFE
It's memespeak you fucking idiot.

The worst part of aging is remembering how much better things used to be

We had no nogs or gays in 2002

BOOMER VS ZOOMER WORLD WAR

>>81656364
Who told you that bullshit? It is better than being surrounded by toxic people.

>>81657933
Youth is worshipped because right now theres a great deficit of young people, unlike all the other times in human history. This and only this is the fucking reason why all the world is fucked right now

You need therapy, you need to stop viewing women like they're an objective. Even if you're ugly you can get women your problem is your mindset and approach. Honestly they're literally a human with a vagina this isn't hard. Find one with similar interest by putting effort in. Going to places where people with that interest go being clear about your intentions smelling good. Just fucking try. You are rotting away pining for a past that wasn't great in the first place. Life can be changed you have to try.

Lose your weight by walking a lot and eating normal (good meat/chicken/fish/eggs, good fruits and vegetables, few slices of good bread with seeds, a little butter or peanut butter per day, vitamins C, D, E if needed, nothing else, nothing full of fat or oil or sugar or other goyslop for some 12 months or so, fuck it), once below 200 pounds start indoor biking and lifting some weights with some plan to increase hardship, maybe soft running a bit.
Once weight is stabilized in decent amount, but fitting clothes, have well-groomed hair and beard, clean your teeth from plaque or other shit without having to drink fluoride or other whitening shit.
Read/learn about economics, war, geopol, not faggot shit like online series or board games for children.
Learn how to cook few stuff properly, you might invite some woman to eat.
Practice eye contact, develop a bit of sociopathy if needed to take advantage of one-in-many opportunities without remorse.
Your ego is dragging you into living in the past where all the details of your frustations and failures make you feel stronger than your fear for the uncertain yet probably incel future.
Accept that your struggle was part of the "eternal struggle = eternal growth" reality that uncle AH taught you about, and re-adjust your current status with few kept habits that will become usual after a couple of weeks: walking, working out, healthy eating and sleeping, reaffirming your positive expectations and the detailed road to approach them, joining some social events and allowing yourself to relax and gain confidence in the social game

I'm 36, and let me tell you:
>you're not too old to get a job
>you're not too old for certain sports
You're just no longer in your 20s, and it's starting to set in. Unfortunately, you can't go back in time, because change doesn't happen in reverse. You're (and admittedly, myself as well) cooked as far as jobs that could easily turn into careers, because they tend to hire/prefer 20-somethings who are inexperienced in life, and thus easier to exploit. But, all hope is not lost; consider that you have people who get out of jail in their 30s after having been in there since 18, and they often can go on to live decent, meaningful lives (though how often this happens is questionable). You may need to start over by working in a warehouse; I have since I was 28, and although I hate it, it pays my bills, keeps the power on, and keeps somewhat of a roof over my head. Don't even need anyone else.

I'll be 38 soon enough, I never stopped watching the same shows I grew up with and stuff from the 90s and early 2000s in general! Nostalgia is kino but u incorporate some modern shit to bro.
As for the job thing start small and take any job U can I did catalogue delivery for a bit.
I imagine I can't be that hard to meet and date sum roastie with grown up kids.

another maladjusted 34yo here
i'm a neet khv hikkikomori
i never even enjoyed or remember any particular moment of my 20s cause i've always been a neurotic anxious depressed shut in. Barely even remember the vidya i played.
Also i am (was?) handsome, so even more regrets for not using my gift and being scared of even talking to girls my whole life

If it wasn't for my mother i would have already killed myself. Just today she got drunk and started dumping her feelings on me and she was right, i had no justifications for my behavior. The only thing i said to her is "i don't even try to fix things anymore cause i don't see any possible future where i could be happy, i don't want anything, i don't have hope, i just wanna sleep forever, not inflicting more pain to you is the only reason i'm still alive". She hasn't talked to me since. I really don't care about anything in this world, it's not for me

Napoleon died cursing himself for not having been able to conquer the territories he could have conquered, but you for example, as a citizen, never felt bad about not winning a war successfully or anything like that. What I want to say is that if something was not intended to happen in your life, you shouldn't care that much about it. It's like a cripple cursing himself for not winning a marathon. There's nothing you can do now to change your past and it's not your fault, get over it. Anyway, I wish you good luck, lad.

I am a year older than you and you sound zoomish, you can't be 36......

> I'm too old to get a girlfriend
tell that to the dudes that were snatching up girls when I was in college.

> lived an entire lifetime without experiencing high school puppy love or "oneitis".
Good, these bitches are fucking multiple dudes, oneitis is a recipie for disaster.

>dream of the girls I knew back then,
I still am in contact with a few, some aged gracefully while others became addicts or single moms


>dreaming of a scenario where I actually got my high school crush.
You would have fucked her and moved on to the next or you would have become a single parent.
You are probably some 19 year old bop, I am 37, I am healthier than I have ever been, I can lift more than I ever have been able to. I have more money than I have ever had, and l am far from done living life.

It's genuinely so depressing looking at old 90's cartoons and realizing they're all VASTLY VASTLY more beautiful than ANYTHING put out today. I guess it's just a result of modern technology making everything sterile and neat, but god I hate it even if it's less expensive for the corporation.
