Son you’ve got a way to fall

How it feels to be 29

>>214022059 (OP)
the old man cutoff point is 20 nowadays, that's when you start getting called an unc by gen alphas

true. the best days of your life should have happened in your 20s. if they didnt then its over

>>214022166
>only dates women
holy shit what a freak

>>214022170
Actually it's 16 unc

>>214022170
ZAMN, unc is a 24 year old ah gramps. Buy a grave and skibidi out

>>214022166
Having interest and learning about them is a negative trait? Also, having tattoos locks you into a archetype, whether you like it or not. People are making evaluations on your looks and your speech and behavior. Film recommendations the life of Walter mitty.

don't fret bro
I'm 35 and they call me "The Elder"

how it feels to be 32

>>214022059 (OP)
I'm literally 35 and feel no different to when I was 25

>>214022166
>only dates women
haha yeah can you imagine couldn't be me women are so gay

>>214022059 (OP)
I’m 28 and I’ve never had a date. Is there any hope besides being a passport bro

>>214022059 (OP)
40s are the new 30s
30s are the new 20s

>>214023062
I only had sex once in my 20's. I chose the passport when I was 31 and don't regret it

>>214022059 (OP)
>>214022139

The late 20s are the worst. Mayne you don't look tok different yet, or feel that much weaker yet, but you can feel it coming. Looming, just around the corner, waiting with an inevitably that is sometimes comforting, sometimes terrifying. It's the cold march of time, and someday, death, and you're feeling it's presence completely unmasked for the first time.

>>214022166
This seems oddly specific like it’s about one guy instead of stereotypes of a certain category of people

age is not only about the body little manchild

>>214023186
You dont feel any different at 30 unless you let yourself go to shit. Thats not age, thats fucking stupidity. People think that because elite athletes who maximise their potential tend to drop off around 30 that the average guy does the same. Nonsense.

For most people, beyond the fact that hangovers get worse there is no major appreciable difference in how you feel until your late 40's and most of that can be mitigated by not being an idiot.

only 8 years to go... 4me

>>214023378
The decline of the body seems to be what anons here and people in general lament the most. Hell, the decline in your mind is also partly physical due to the decrease in neuroplasticity.

>>214022166

I cackled.

>>214023388
>People think that because elite athletes who maximise their potential tend to drop off around 30
Depends on the sport, but typically that's not even true. 30 is the average for most olympic sports, which means over half of the medalists are over 30.

The only people who feel like shit at 30 only feel that way because they spent the last decade destroying their bodies all day everyday, which is most people now, unfortunately.

>>214022166
This literally me.

>>214023454
literally not a single person in this thread complained about their body. you just felt the need to brag about lifting something heavy. don't get me wrong lifting something heavy is better than not lifting something heavy but you can't lift away the passing of time

Im 34 and I feel the same as when I was a kid, wich is to say, complete shit cause I was always a doomer.
I remember the second week of first grade some pretty girls were talking about some other kids being so cute, they said it right next to me, they didnt even cared that I was there.
Until then I thought I was cute myself, it was at that point I realized my life was gonna suck, "this isnt going to be pleasant" was my reaction. And I wasnt wrong cause im khv neet.

>>214022059 (OP)
I turned 33 yesterday. Couldn’t care less. You people need to relax.

>>214023188
That mention of Madison is very telling, because there’s tons of these guys crawling around Milwaukee.

>>214023632
I think you're needlessly bristly

>>214023583
True, its 30 for things like Tennis but even that might be old data. 35 seems to be the wall for that sport. Heavyweight boxers dont even hit their prime until then.

Either way its just so frustrating to hear people who have never so much as gone for a jog , lament the inevitable decline once you hit 25.... its just an excuse for laziness.

If you do absolutely nothing until age 30, then start eating and training right you might not peak until 45.

Bros I'm 24 and I'm freaking out. Surely you're all just taking the piss

>>214023712
Youll wake up tomorrow being 35, seriously, try to improve cause theres no time

>>214023685
the bragging part is whatever but outright lying about something that can be so easily verified is weird

>>214023712
just start doing shit and make the most of what you have, faggot

>>214023686
>35 seems to be the wall for that sport
And it's only the wall for literally top of top performance on a global scale. The wall for general performance is probably closer to 60. I know people close to 60 in better shape than me and i don't slack myself.

What frustrates is more is people blaming weight gain on hitting 30 when we have multiple studies now proving the metabolism doesn't slow down until like 50, and even then it's like a 1% decrease per year. It's not age, you're just moving even less and eating even more.

>>214022059 (OP)
Zoomer obsession with being 20 is low key gay

How can these sports offer like 20 silver medals for every one gold?

>>214023857

>>214023844
I blame modern movies. All the characters act like fucking children, to appeal to teenagers. Teenagers presume this means that being a child is better than being an adult.

Its not. Its really really not.

>>214022166
This seems like one of those crazy specific wojaks that only apply to a single person that only the creator knows.

Can someone recommend a good kino about a 32 year old man who gets dumped by his girlfriend, gets laid off, and then goes back to community college to keep his parents off his back and enjoy his savings and tries to get 19 year old pussy, thinking that because now that he has his own car and plenty of savings, things will be different this time?

It's over

>>214022166
where's the one of twitch milennials/gen x who copy everything the young children on twitch do to fit in?

>>214024009
It will anon, you have my prayers

No, most movies only involve realistic topics like aliens and superheroes.

>>214023857
Fucking for real.

I was in good shape in high school, got less active in college due to drinking and depression, then let myself go in my mid 20s and became a tired and inflexible fat fuck. Got motivated again at 28 and quit drinking, started eating better, and started working out consistently. By 29 I was in the best shape I'd ever been. Yeah I'm not where I could have been if I stayed in shape my whole life, but you can make huge improvements and feel really good about yourself after long periods of fucking around.

Mild weightlifting and flexibility training (i.e. yoga without the faggy "namaste" bullshit) can absolutely reverse years of sedentary lifestyle, even in middle age. The best time to do it is now.

>>214023118
35
This isn't true
>>214023261
Your lifts don't change if you're persistent last year i was lifting every day and weighed the most and moved the most of my entire life best shape of my life was 34
>>214023454
You can prevent a lot of it by just doing things a lot of older people refuse to do. Work out, read, learn.

>look young for my age
>see someone else my age or younger and they look old af
>realize i am actually old af too

>>214023282
No, just terrible at checking my spelling before clicking Post.

>>214023844
They will mass suicide in the near future

>>214024044
How do I get pussy from 19 year olds at community college as a 31 year old who just started lifting? Not a virgin I've fucked 2 women but still basically an incel.

>>214024031
we all have that one friend who talks like whichever twitch faggot he watches

Nobody beats him.

>>214024243
if you have to ask, you're a lost cause. sorry bro, maybe you'll get lucky.

>>214024114
Good for you man, its the weirdest form of doomer bullshit. Guys hit 25, are eating like shit or doing drugs so they feel terrible, but instead of actually fixing the problem they just decide they are too old.

Morons literally turn themselves into old men.

>>214022166
>[X] is wild
NPC thing to say. Like offers nothing.

>>214023963
Blame anime where no one over 25 is allowed to be involved in anything. We have begun worshipping foreign cultures that worship youth.
>>214024156
No one really looks all that young for their age in my experience. It's all an elaborate group psychosis cope. I've even begun seeing middle aged dudes talking about how allegedly going they look like gossiping hens at a salon. It's fucking embarrassing. Your grey hairs or receding hair or beer gut or aged skin or whatever obvious indicator of age you have is indeed obvious. I think this bizarre new age phenomenon occurs when mid life people just feel nothing positive about themselves as they slide out of that youth market. The new modern world offers plenty of opportunities to self delude.

>>214024243
Pretend you have a girlfriend

i'm almost 32 and am way too fucked up to turn it around. and that would be if I even had the motivation to.
it's over. I just want to find a hole in the ground and die

me? I'm 35.

>>214023811
>closer to 60
My bullshit alarm went off when I read this, but then I remembered this wiry old man who was genuinely lapping me at the track the other day. His strides were nimble and crazy long despite being shorter than me. It's true, people like that might not be able to compete at the highest level, but they still mog the general population who are half their age or less.

>>214024410
>Blame anime
fake news.
anime is where people over 30 die and gets isekai'd

>>214024516
too lazy to do anything not too fucked up lol. ur life up 2 u

I'm 26 and becoming quite bored with being in my twenties. Just want to focus on my hobbies and things I'm passionate about now

>>214024243
Wear a wedding ring

>>214024893
laziness is an inherent personality trait. combined with clinical depression it's deadly.

>>214025142
Both are choices made by the individual. If they'd rather wallow in their misery, they may choose to do so. You may also choose to wake up.

>>214023583

I like how this chart just basically inadvertently proves Equestrian isn't a real sport compared to the rest of the Olympics. Which has long been suspected to people with eyes.

Hate how twitter memes just show up on board now

>>214024270
kek its kino!

>>214023186
There are 25 year olds that look older than 50 year olds, and that's not a meme. Age is just a number. Keep rollin nigga, don't give up.

Once you have kids you just don't get the time for self care anymore. Between work and kids I either get to neglect my wife or neglect myself.

Man over woman so take care of yourself first and ignore your woman's pleas for attention. Unironically.

>>214022174
I also had a largely great early thirties but then it very much went to shit for a few years. I don't miss my years of hedonism, much.

>>214024303
I got lucky before but only from dating apps.

>>214024439
I do have pics of me and my ex I could keep in my wallet and flash. Feels fucked up to use her that way tho.

>>214025080
What do I do if they call me out tho?

I'm 29 and balding severely
look older by the day, even though I exercise and eat healthy
I regret pretty much every major decision I've ever taken in my life, but am too much of a coward to kill myself

This thread is full of fat females.
I was banging a 20 year old gymnast when I was 30 and now that I'm older I still get hit on by 20 somethings.

Woman expire at 30. There is no reason for a man to ever date anyone older than 27. Stay fit lads.

>>214027763
Hop on the fin while you still can. Did wonders for me. Yes, my dick still works.

At least I tried

>>214028390
It's wild how much it varies from person to person. I was at a point where even my barber started agreeing to just shave it and now after 2 years of fin and min I have a reasonably amount of hair. Someone that didn't see me for a while even asked if I went to Turkey for a hair transplant.

>>214022798
>>214022059 (OP)

I think younger people experience aging through fear of less years of youth. Like they're the exact same as they were last year, they just have one less year until they're ACTUALLY old.
I imagine its really fucking annoying if you are already old

>>214028320
>while you still can
it's already over for me, my head looks like a bird's nest
I might as well go full reddit and get myself a clean shave

>>214028390
hairtransplant, dont even think about it too much. Also, if thats your case, maybe you should cut it bald, bathe you scalp in minox everyday, and get full duta dosage

>>your neck decides not to turn left, no injury, no reason, just vibes
too real

I'm 33.

1-10 years old feel subjectively like 60% of my life.

10-22 feels like 30% of my life

22-33 feels like 10% of my life

I blinked and it all went away. I distinctly remember my mom saying that she sometimes wakes up sleepy and looks in the mirror and jumpscares herself because she forgets she is already 60 as subjectively she still feels in her late 20s as time flew by so quickly.

I have a 2 year old son and I sometimes still forget I'm a dad. The pregnancy and first couple of years feel like weeks for me.

I will for sure be the parent lamenting his kids getting old and leaving home. You young guys have NO IDEA how quickly time speeds up.

At 25 you subjectively probably are already way beyond half of your total life.

>>214023261

Your growth stunted after your teens and that's why you feel like this.
People start feeling the weight of age earlier when they don't experience new things.
When you are a child every day you experience new thing.
Want to feel younger? Start trying new shit. Just for the sake of it.
Having a tedious job also contributes to this.

I still think 2015 was just a few years ago. Some timeline fuckery truly happened in 2020
