>>72287101>Married a 23 year old this yearwell played. where did you meet her?
>>72287101Forgot to mention, that I eat steak and eggs everyday, and it has returned a lot of the glow the my skin, and made my hair look way brighter. Steak and eggs is fucking cheap too if you do it right. Somedays I just eat two steaks and 6 eggs.
I was athletic in high school, I can get back into shape and become a rich champion professional athlete at 35, right? Retire in early 40s with 8 figures?Otherwise I'm ropin'
I'm turning 33 next year, and I have to admit I'm feeling the pressure to accomplish something of value. I have a wife and two kids, but I haven't achieved any of my goals or dreams yet, and I'm starting to fear it just won't happen.
>>72287107In Taiwan.Got sick of western women, and wanted to take advantage of my work from home status.
>>72287137great life upgrade
>>72287137i’m in xinyi, browhere you at?
>>72287071Why are so many of you just now wanting to accomplish something? Why are you still holding on to what can be described as teenage angst at best?
>>72287121How out of shape are you? What sport? And are you willing to inject fraud fluid?
Any advices for a 30 yo software dev with 0$ at the bank?Anything on any subject is welcome. I neeted and learned software dev for the last 5 years. I’m getting my life back together and I’m actually a tall handsome fella. So nothing on this earth should stop me now that I defeated the rest.
>>72287126What are your goals and dreams and what steps do you take everyday to make them a reality?Just do something little everyday. Tbh having a wife and two kids puts you way ahead of most of us
>>72287137>>72287160asking because i wanna find out how hard it is to get trt here, i have an arc and health care card already because i moved here with my wife two years agojust wanna know if i need to pay privately for blood tests/trt or if it’s easy enough to get it covered by public health insurance
>>72287160>>72287273Sorry man wish I could, but we moved to Thailand. She teaches Chinese at a school there, and I work online. I buy everything here OTC.
>>72287318all goodsticking around here another couple years until i get aprc, we already got her citizenship in my country, so i’ve got time to figure it out
>>72287101>Married someone 12yrs younger>Eating a diet to put you in a grave by 50That chick is going to spend the rest of her life getting railed with your money.
>>72287071In my mid 30s I met this hot twink guy and we dated for a couple of years and I felt so inspired to get healthy. I ended up losing like 60 lbs and getting pretty deep into strength training. Then he dumped me and things have been on a steady decline ever since.I'm 40 now and it's ancient history at this point but I just can't regain that motivation I once had. I ended up gaining that full 60 lbs back over the years and haven't picked up a barbell in a long time after hurting my knee at work a few years ago. How do I get that drive back?
I'm extremely demoralized. Climbing out of the gutter is painful and now due to clown world and bad experiences, my confidence is shot and I have no idea what path to pursue in life. My family are all clueless know-nothings so I do everything myself since I have no social network.

>>72287511C'mon man, you're to old to derive discipline from another persons attention. You should know by now that you need to love yourself enough to do it.
>>72287511>>72287674Or hate yourself enough… either way just pick up the weights, and eat the steaks
>>72287511Stop being a fag. You can fuck queers casually, but never get into a serious relationship. All fags are mentally ill. Every single one. Take some anti-parasite medicine and get your mind right. >t. Bisexual fag who went through what you did in his 20s. I've tried to justify it but every time I get horny enough to fuck twinks I immediately regret it.
>>72287071>41It's far from over anon. Your only barrier remains your mentality. You're closer to 50 than 30 but you're closer to greatness than failure if you remain focused. Avoid injury at all costs and never cheat. Cheating days/meals are a distant memory of the past WAGMI>neet and joblessFocus on improving yourself, take any small victory you can get and use that as motivation. Time is short but that doesn't mean you can't be a success, I believe in you.

Be grateful and focus on improving yourself.>>72287511You have to learn to motivate yourself. Do it for yourself. We're too far gone to need others to do it for us. Make the pain your motivation. >>72287546Mentality is everything fren. You can do it, you know that and you don't need anyone to tell you that. It's hard but it's doable. >>72287674Fucking this.
>>72287137>In TaiwanYou couldn't get any good pussy so you gave up and went for some smelly NPC chink?
>>72287511>>72287709Why are there so many fucking faggots on /fit/? It's like every fitizen is either pro-Hitler or a literal faggot or both
>>72288284We were damaged due to shit upbringings by weak my and overbearing mothers. We have a poisonous idea of what it means to be a man. The idea of being Gigachad is in itself a very homosexual way of mind. So when we fail at getting every woman to live us, we think something is wrong and the only alternative are dudes. Again, homosexuality is a mental illness.
My finger joint just spontaneously bruised last night. Just suddenly swelled up and got a little purple tinge to it. Didn't hurt, didn't lose feeling, isn't sore today. All I've got is some discoloration.I'll update if I lose the finger.t. 36
>>72288405That makes sense, at least you are self aware about it, now please do not rape any children. If you fags were smart you would excommunicate the trannies from your faction and call out the pedophiles within your ranks
>>72288081>Mentality is everything fren. You can do it, you know that and you don't need anyone to tell you that. It's hard but it's doable.Very true. My main hurdle is I just don't have any fucking clue what to do. I burnt out in one field and it's flooded with women now too. I just don't know where to turn that uses my autism skills and makes decent enough money.
>>72288251Sour grapes the post. I’ve had yellow fever since I saw yellow ranger for the first time at age 5. So this was an inevitable path for me.
Just curious about how much have the people in this thread have shrunk.
>>72289342My penis is the same as it was when I was 21, just a little more weathered.
>>72287102>bf went from 10 to 15pedo
I'm terribly confused and don't know what to do. I'm in a 6 year relationship and half the time I feel like we're about to break up and the other half our relationship's stronger than ever. Our relationship has all the checks of a trauma bond but we've also gone through a lot of bad shit together and even if there's bad days there's also good days. I don't know if I'm in a genuinely abusive relationship as both victim and abuser, or just terribly afraid of confronting my abandonment and rejection childhood wounds and loving again, or unhealthily attaching myself to someone toxic, or being saved by True Love as having our relationship as my anchor to a true connection with others and someone who talks to me. Been in therapy for over a year now.I don't know if I'm the bad guy, I don't feel in contact with myself, I see her flaws more every day but I also see mine and every day I'm more afraid of both of us repeating patterns of our parents' shitty relationships. I don't know if we're both glued to each other's awful traits or to our genuine care for each other that we display when shit goes down. I love her and care about her but also hate her volatility and her dumb poor person lifestyle choices but I also feel like she's my only chance at a normal life, but at the same time I feel like I'm not doing the things I want to do and I don't like who I've become. I used to be productive and excited about doing things and I don't like the life I'm leading. And at the same time I feel like she's been so kind to me and it's my one chance to have a normal family and friends. I'm so scared of losing her and I don't think she's a bad person, she simply does a lot of shitty narcissitic controlling things. And I wonder if I myself and not the monster because we always seem to be focusing on what I'm doing wrong and there always is something despite me trying my darndest to change it. I'm tired.
turned 30 this year. fuck this thread is depressing, you are 90% losers.going to go lift and forget i read this
>>72290418Oh forgot, I'm 30, NEET, and get high almost every day now, and haven't finished my master's thesis (industrial engineering). I used to go to college, train martial arts and run and lift near daily, fuck cute chicks and a couple guys, I felt very lonely due to self-esteem issues I've been working on through therapy but I feel like I'm getting better. And precisely because of that I don't know if I'm just failing to perform at that level again because of my ADHD and my own issues, or genuinely getting drained in all aspects by a bad relationship. Sometimes it feels horribly toxic and sometimes it feels kind and gentle and understanding and warm. And I genuinely don't know if we should separate or stick even closer./rant
31, 165 @510155, 230, 315, 415 - 1rmstryna bulkstarting madcow and when I was 22 I replaced the wednesday back with frontsused the spreadsheet then and now of coursecan I just do the front squat without the calculator doing the number crunching or is there one with front squats on the light day
>>72288444I feel ya brother... when I move around many ligaments and tendons feel like they're gonna snap. I definitely need to warm up nowadays before training. I truly understand now why my PE teachers always said to warm up before exercise, kek. Let's grow old in healthy physical state.
>>72290531>Oh forgot, I'm 30, NEET, and get high almost every day nowMaybe that's your problem then drug addict faggot. Kill yourself
Turned 31 this summer. The depression and anxiety are getting to me but I refuse to take SSRIs again. Does test or roids in general help at all? That’s kinda my last defense
to those of you that want to fuck younger women, I'm a zoomer and what I can say is that its all about the hair, if you still have hair and does not look like their dad you can still fuck some fresh pussy (not all of them, zoomer girls prefer guys around their same age just stop fucking coping)but if you are bald its over, don't even try to chase young pussy and in this case not even your body/wealth will matter
>>72290674That's my point. I didn't use to be like this. And I genuinely don't know if I really have failed purely due to my own stubborness and poor choices and just look for someone to shift blame on in the woman that's supported me for years, or if I've had my enthusiasm, good habits, and potential drained by an abusive relationship I'm too unwilling to see and self-sabotaging because I grew up touch and affection starved and clinging to the one thing that makes me feel nice. And I don't know what to do.
>>72291027>I grew up touch and affection starved and clinging to the one thing that makes me feel nice. And I don't know what to do.Switch to exercise retard. Drugs are bad for you and they make the rest of your life shittier in comparison. Just never use them again and suffer for a bit, until you're used to being sober and you can be an actual human bean again. ngl I did not read the rest of your posts and I have no relationship advice but only a retard uses drugs
>>72287662>Sample size = 1>Actual retardHeart disease and red meat consumption have been directly correlated for 80yrs retard. Mama-sans gonna spend every cent getting railed by strangers.
>>72287101>>72287102>>72287126>>72287202.. what the fuck is wrong with you people. 30 isn't a boomer, or old. Just do the shit you wanna do.You have time to start from square 1, today. Go. Do it.Boomers are 57-75 years old and are a GENERATION. You cannot "become" a boomer, because you don't have a time travel machine. You were either born in those years or you weren't.Stop. Get help.
>>72291257>doesn’t get that the term boomer is internet slang not relating to the generation lol boomer
>>72287071i cope by lifting, sprinting and carnivoreseems to keep people young
Morbidly obese to healthy bmi, no kids, no insane exes in my life. Youd think id have an easier go at dating at 32 years old when I'm into high body far hairy strong dudes but those cunts are impossible to find
>>72291349Most that are also gay are slutting it up with other fat hairy strong dudes in dark clubs or drowning in any twink they want unfortunately
>>72290418>>72290531I read your blog post and just wanted to say walk away man. Walk away and all of the energy you put into the relationship, put it into living the best life you can. If you do before one or both of you fuck up your lives you’ll be shocked how much better life is on the other side
>>72287071>41>have gained no muscle in years>drop volume to 1 set on 2 lifts per group 3 times a week but to failure>gain more muscle in 6 months than I did in my entire 30's>start taking fish oil>all the tendonopathies go away and can run at the frequency I did in my 20sIt's been a pretty good half year for me
>>72287071I’m 50 and I look better than 20 year olds. Fertile women worship me. Genetics > money
>>72292861>drop volume to 1 set on 2 lifts per group 3 times a week but to failuredo what now
>>72293058Is it not self explanatory?2 lifts per group, 1 set per lift, push failure as a rule, every other day.I also do a/b days to avoid the exact same wear pattern because I'm prone to tendonopathies.
>>72287071I don't know if it's age or just seeing it as a waste of time, but I don't know how people can take campers out for the weekend. After prepping and setting up on a Friday night and packing up to go home Sunday night, it's maybe one and half days to enjoy.
>>72287071>just average have a car but not houseMost your age are in the same spot or worse if they have debt.
>>72290418>she's my only chance>I don't like who I've become>I don't like the life I'm leadingPretty clear, senpai. You want to leave her but are blocked by the usual fear: what if I can't get anyone else?Take the plunge and leave her or become a sad old man full of regrets.
>>72287071I'm 31 (32 in March) and honestly probably look better than I have in a long time but life still kinda sucks because I haven't had a job in two years, moved back in with my parents about a year ago, and have not been in a relationship in about 10 years. I just need a fucking career that doesn't make me consider driving into the median on the way to work for the sake of a few days off. Being suicidal sucks, I hate 99% of jobs I've ever had more than I hate being a broke son of a bitch. My savings are dwindling fast though and will need a job relatively soon anyways. No idea what I'm gonna end up with. Ain't dead yet so haven't completely given up, but I feel close some days.
>>72291257ok boomer
>>72292861your routine must’ve been absolute dogshit in your 30s
>>72293509It was much higher volume. Around 24 sets per group/per week. I just don't think I had the metabolism to actually recover from it and basically lived in the area right below rhabdo.
My life is a mess but I'm optimistic. I'm still full of energy, my body and brain respond to changes fast, I feel adaptable and not set in my ways. wagmi.
>>72291257You're a literal retarded boomer and need to get off 4chan.
>>72287101>35>on trt alreadylmfao
Its over
>>72293567optimal time to be on test.
I'm 31, turn 32 in 3 months, and I have achieved literally nothing in my life. I am a kissless virgin. I have no friends and basically haven't for most of my life. I still live with my parents. I don't drive a car. I have no career and a humiliating, pathetic, worthless, do-nothing job that makes me completely miserable going to but I am terrified of the prospect of quitting because I am completely useless with no skills and will end up becoming a permanent NEET. I have few hobbies and barely find any enjoyment in anything. Since turning 30, most of my thoughts during the day are wanting to kill myself, wanting to not be alive, wanting to give up, literally praying to die in my sleep. I'm unfathomably miserable most of my waking hours. I barely even speak to people and hardly even look at them because of how humiliated and ashamed I am of what a worthless, pathetic, autistic loser I am. I wish I could get a somewhat normal life but I don't think it's humanly possible to have less self-confidence than I have. I am so desperate to die but I know that I will never get the courage to do anything about killing myself. The concept of being a "late bloomer" at this point with how defeated I am and how worthless my life has always been I believe is past me. I will never "bloom".The main thing I would tell any younger people in case they are reading this thread is that developing social relationships is the single most important thing you can do in your life. Literally every single one of my problems is directly tied to being a socially avoidant outcast loser since I became a teenager.
>>72287160How did you manage to move there? Hoe did you find work?
38 and in the best physical shape of my life. Just weighed at 192lbs and 14%bf. Lactate threshold is sitting right at 85% of my max heart rate and I'm about to upgrade to full oly triathlons next year. Career is fine, live in a median cost of living area pulling low 6 figures. Plenty to live comfortably.Got divorced 18 months ago, didn't divorce rape me we just split it all and went our separate ways. Dating is a nightmare at 5'10". 12 years ago in college I never had a problem and I wasn't remotely as fit as I am now. Fast forward to 2023 and I haven't had sex in at least 30 months. Tried young ones, tried old ones, I'm not going to fuck a fatty because they are disgusting and why would I do that when I'm muscular and ripped for 75% of the year outside of when I load for a big race. Not even missing most of my hair legit at like a norwood 2.5.I got forced into being an incel, left the wife because I couldn't fathom raising children with her messed up emotional garbage and it turns out I'll never get to joys of watching my children grow up because of an arbitrary number that was meaningless a decade ago.I think its onlyfans or Tinder or something. When any gross ugly woman can get creampied on demand by any flavor of guy they want its broken their brains. I'm legit looking at women from like 18-35 and there hasn't been a single one that doesn't revolt me emotionally or won't give me the time of day because I'm short. Fuck my money, fuck my nice vehicles, fuck my house in a nice neighborhood, fuck the fact I've been to 22 countries and speak 3 languages near fluently.Nope because I'm 5'10" I don't exist even to mid to late 30s women with no eggs remaining and giant gunts. All the women at my gym don't have rings, all divorced, and they all chase the same 4 boys with no jobs. I watch it happen every time I'm there. Should have just stuck with my asberger's ex-wife. At least I've had had a family.Just waiting to die at this point.
>>72291141Yeah. I suppose getting clean is also something I should do.>>72292822Yeah that's what I was afraid of. Thanks /fit/, I suppose I just needed to hear it from somebody else. This place has never steered me wrong about the cold realities of the world.If she really is the narciccist I pin her as then she'll probably be fine and maybe even better as well.
>>72293986Thought that men's SMV went up as we got older because we have mad resources and have got life pretty figured out, but the entire game has now been broken. I'm 38 and feel like I'm going on 90. The loneliness is going to kill me when I haven't had physical touch in well over two years. I just work, lift, train, and travel. Went on a vacation last month for 3 weeks and it did nothing to help me out.I can't emphasize how OLD 38 is, and that its basically the end of your life. I am just going to state it again. All I have left is just waiting to die outside of my hobbies. Wish I would have just killed myself like I wanted to when I was in my teens. I think I knew what was coming and would have saved a lot of misery.
>>72287102Maybe set a career goal to improve your income. I'm 31 on the same boat as you. Broke up with my GF like 2 years ago, gave up on dating, and eventually decided to say fuck it and go to the French Foreign Legion. Its a rough time. Dating is a fucking nightmare and social media has such a disgusting death grip on people's perception of the world.
>>7228766279 isn't great. You want to make it to 85 to see your grandchildren become adults.
>32>don't want anything in lifeI'm not depressed, I can appreciate the little things like leaves, bugs, sunrises/sunsets. But I don't want anything beyond food, water and shelter. The idea of slaving away for a career so I can get a car a house, a woman and kids means nothing to me. I actually got my shit together a few years ago because I thought this was what I wanted. I got /fit/, got a good job in a promising career, used that to leverage myself into a better job in an even more promising career, got laid a shit load of times, got a gf etc etc. Everyone was so proud of me. But I hated it. Slaving away 8 hours a day was killing me mentally. I was surrounded by people complaining how they had no money, how they had to wait until they got paid to get x and y. Whereas I was saving thousands in the bank and eating enough to bulk and pay for a motorcycle and rent. Why was I even doing this shit? Eventually I lost the plot and ragequit, now I'm sat back at home 2 years later with my mother with zero shame about my progress in life, yet everyone around me almost pities me for not giving a fuck about the things they do. I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I have an artistic hobby that I can potentially change into an income stream but anytime I try to scale it up I burnout. I hate feeling like a slave, and any action that pushes me in that direction repulses me. I'm this close to fucking it all off, getting my sleeping bag and just becoming a bum. No pressure, no obligations, hard cold life but freedom. /rant
>>72287137if that picture arouses you, congrats. not my cup of tea, but i understand how seductive youth pussy can be, despite flaws
Dropping fat with omad and hiking. Realized my arms weren't muscular but more like wagyu that are now shrinking.
>>72290531damn bro this post resonated with me. I'll be 30 in a few weeks. I'm also in a long term relationship that seems like a flower that began to wilt before it finished blooming. if that makes any sense.
>>72287731Thanks bro. Maybe im just tired of this life and feeling alone without real friend or companionship that really understand me. Hope it will get better and wagmi
>>72287071im 2 years away from joining these threads, im 28. ive been self medicating with clomid letrozole and ibutamoren after i shot my first blank last year. my balls shut off completely for some reason after having worked out for 4 years, i gave up entirely on working out, i quit my job literally didnt have the energy or care to do anything for almost a whole year. burned all my savings etc.i havent felt better in a long time, im wondering if i stop taking this stuff(minus the MK) will my balls just go back to nothing? i really really dont want to ever experience that shit again it was hell, but at the same time i feel like if i tell my doctor im on UGL fertility drugs theyll test my blood and say im fine but not give me pharma clomid or anything. theyll just tell me to go fuck myself
>>72287137Absolutely based
>>72293986Bro you need to look at yourself and get past any hurdles stopping you internally from getting women. Just from your post, you got a bad attitude that you need to get past. I know dudes who are in their 50s and still slay poon regularly. Its your mental space thats the issue.
>>72293556How old are you?
>>72296001Good for them I guess. Its probably just the fact that I'm extremely ugly and just didn't realize it. Chances are those guys in their 50 just never stopped slaying and are handsome as hell.Whatever it is its been so long its become insurmountable. The touchless 2+ years have eaten into my soul and have become part of me. Good for the guys that do something with their life past 35, but it isn't possible for me. At least I have my job until the next recession hits which feels right around the corner. Once that hits I think I'll just off myself and give my pile of savings and life insurance to some random soup kitchen.
>>72294042If you are a good father your kids should have kids when they're around 25, meaning that anon should be 60, so his grandkids would be 18 at 78. He wants to live to 86, so he can see his great-grandkid.
>>72296001And honestly what the hell bad attitude are you talking about? Nothing I do or can do can change what I'm going through. It feels like the entire universe has decided that I'm unworthy of human contact and that the hivemind of women responded to it. I have no clue what sort of attitude I would have that comes across in writing and would entitle me to this miserable fate.
>>72288251sounds like a woman realizing western women aint shit
In my early 30s. I have my major life goals accomplished I guess. I just need to finish this apprenticeship so life is just work and family. I want to be physically better though. I rub elbows with a lot of early 20s guys and it's humiliating not being on par.
>>72298378No doubt. I feel at this age you really see the gulf between the effortless success of so many and the grinding miserable work you spent your life on to attain maybe 10% of what came naturally to them.
>>72298400Kind of. I see people with effortless success, success they gained by being a cock suckered, success they don't know they can achieve. I've always had to work extra at things just to be on par. My goals to me, were simple that played into that. I'm not rich. I haven't hit double digits of women. I think I'm honestly mediocre.
>>72287071>40>going 4-5 times to gym; lifts are shit if I don't feed/sleep well>gains way slower than before>married with one child; wife won't get a trophy but not that bad >want to escape wagie lifeother than the crappy job rest is good
>>72287137Ohhhh...
>>72299266>wife won't get trophyBetter to have a good woman that sticks with you than eye candy for other men bro. Not saying dudes should wife goblins but it always seem weird when a guy cares what others think about their SO.> at work, coworker is showing off pictures of his "hot wife".> yea she looks good. Would fuck> ask him why he is showing her off>confusion> ask if he is looking for someone to fuck herHe doesn't really talk to me now
Just turned 34. Had one very long LTR that ended pretty bad like 6 months ago.Objectively doing fine. In the best shape and looks in my life, take very good care of myself. Not the best job in the world but still a comfy software career and a very high income especially in my shithole country.But mentally its like I have lost all mojo or drive or whatever you call it. In 20s I would just yolo out of jobs and get better ones or go on bunch of dates and get wasted. And I was looking like shit back then, didnt take care of myself at all nor had any money.
>>72287071Im 45, got back in shape at 37. My wife thinks I have a side piece. I take it as a indirect compliment. She mate guards a lot. Its fun.
>>72298213how many women have you asked out and on how many dates did you actually go?
>>72299596In person probably 40-50, on dating apps which I did for 3 months literally hundreds. I got on average 5 matches a week with most ghosting me after I told them I wanted to meet for coffee or a walk and see where it goes in person because texting sucks.I've been on about 15 dates this year. One women brought a measuring tape to one because she was 5'9" and didn't believe I was 5'10". I walked out on that one when she pulled it out of her purse. This woman was 34 years old. Hell I've had vastly better dates with women under 24 than anyone my age, but they all have 30000 guys in their texts and eventually disappear because they don't want to spend time with grandpa.The rest were wastes of time and usually revolved around my height not being enough. I put 5'10" in my bio and measured myself once because I thought I was insane, turns out I'm like 5'10.5".I'm not even that ugly. I said in another thread anytime I'm at the gym on the elliptical I get a couple here or there make eye contact for a bit long and smile, some even come up and talk to me. I step off the elliptical and they make a face and vanish never to be seen again.I'm out of gas so for several months I've just been ignoring women. This of course makes them pay more attention to me, but it disgusts me and I just end up insulting them until they leave. Literally happened this weekend at a wine bar. I don't think a family is possible any more. 38 just feels like the new 90 and apparently according to the actual women I went on dates with 5'10" is the new 4'10". The entire universe has changed.

>>72287071Turning 37 soon. Got a house, good job, but still single (always have been). I try and keep getting rejected, so I just don't bother anymore. I accepted my solitude a long time ago, I'm okay with it.I'm working every day to become a better person, I'm human and not perfect. Whatever fate throws at me, it is what it is and I just keep moving forward.
What's the best course of action if you want to get fit at 35 with a background of 20+ sedentary years, no mind muscle connection, no tendon resilience, no deep muscle memory, no flexibility etc? Where do I start. I want no injuries
>>72293716Hey anon, I am in the same situation as you, but I started trying to improve at 25, 26 now..No girls look my way but I made friends and a social life, I was scared to leave the house a year ago.I started joining hobby groups, warhammer etc, after about half a year or so I just clicked with some people.I have Steam if you would like to be frens..
>>72287511so when you watched The Whale tears were flowing
>>72300813its good to start small, daily pushups or other easy bodyweight exercises.once its a habit get a better routine, probably off to the gym
>>72300813>Where do I start. https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing_weight/index.html>I want no injuriesLol and everybody else wants iinjuries?
50. It's not as bad as I expected.Getting fit, calisthenics and sprinting seem to agree with my until I do something dumb and injure myself. I'm dumber than I thought...Warming up is key, takes twice as long as it did 25 years ago. Speed's down and get left in trust by some 60yo's but IDGAF it's fun.Finances in the shitter but improving. If you and your SO, both self employed, get ill at the same time you're in for fun. Teenage kids also cost a packet to feed, clothe etc.Physically better than most of the last 25 years. Good facial structure but my hair's half way through fucking off. Getting fit gets you looks/mires off women - particularly if they've watched the transformation - but no idea how that would translate as my domestics would fuck up irreparably if I tried.TLDR - could be worse.

>>72300813Provided that you aren't morbidly obese, ease into a calisthenics routine(start on the lowest level of every exercise) and start doing mobility work every day. https://phrakture.github.io/starting-stretching.htmlhttps://youtu.be/DC1Z9acFQaY?si=R3r8MLt36FfaNgvs If you ARE severely obese, focus on getting your diet right and just walking until you come down to a healthy weight.
32 hereI've really fucked up over the past couple years. I was in great shape and loving life; young hunnies were mirin'. Now I've gotten fat, unemployed, and miserable.I am going insane.
>>72287137>>72287101I’ve been thinking about getting some certs/a degree to get WFH jobs and moving to Bali once I turn 31-35. I’m 27 right now. My plan is to stay in current field, focus on getting more money saved, then cosnider taking whatever courses I need, and when I have enough saved to have the option to not work for my first 3 years without it putting too much of a dent into my savings actually doing it. It sounds nice. Hate western women and I don’t think it’s worth sifting through heaping piles of garbage to maybe possibly have a chance at meeting one of the very few wife material women here. The trade however, any women we meet in these countries yes even your 23 year old wife, isn’t truly into us. Or are they? Do they just submit to tall white man or brown as as money/ticket out
>>72301899Nevermind I was wrong asian bitches love white men on a primal level apparently
Turned 30 and all I do is go to work and go home. Moved during the pandemic and left my old life behind and can't make any friends. Feel like I am an NPC now. I make a lot of money and have a cool car but it really doesn't matter. I was happier in my early 20s as a neet because I had friends and family. Guess I will just slave away in the office every week until my time is up.

at least in this thread we have some people who admit to being losers or not having great lives rather than the usual 30+ thread bullshit. some of them made their way in here

>>72302640I'm 25, almost getting expelled from college and dropping out, had to go back to my home town, barely have any friends in here left and its soulcrushing me to have not achieved anything since highschool, seeing this thread made me hopeful to see i still have +5 years for a new uni if i want but at the same time is scary.I don't know if i should come back or try another uni.
>>72298231Sounds like another dumbass aiding the asian takeover. Slant eyes everywhere.
>>7228707133 Just got out of student meme debt (no interest rates, thanks covid). Have practically no other money issues now, but work has been slow. Fortunately that's left more time to workout and honestly I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life since my early 20s, so besides my thinning hairline I still feel young. Other than I still have crippling anxiety and "going out" is something I can't force myself to do, especially as I barely drink so bar hopping is out of the question. I also have basically quit weed smoking outside of the occasional weekend because I could finally feel it making me retarded, and adult druggies are always sad no matter how "successful" they are.[spoiler]And I'm also getting fed up with my employer who keeps making me work from home. At this rate I actually want to go out and work just for the potential to bullshit with someone[/spoiler]
>>72290531>I'm 30, NEET, and get high almost every day now, and haven't finished my master's thesis (industrial engineering). I used to go to college, train martial arts and run and lift near daily, fuck cute chicks and a couple guys,lol faggot
since turning 30 years old, im almost 31, all i think about is suicide. my teens and twenties disappeared and i have nothing to show for them and no memories. i think about how much development normal people go through in their 20s, moving out on their own for the first time, building their career by job hopping, building money, having real long term relationships, going on vacations, learning how to take care of themselves, even marrying/kids/own home before their 30th birthday. i still live like a complete child. living with my parents, not having a car, not having friends, not having relationships, allowing myself to completely rot and waste away at a dead end job. there has been no development whatsoever. i dont even have an answer as to how i did this to myself. i could say laziness and apathy i guess, but i feel like this surpasses laziness, i feel that there is something seriously mentally wrong with me that i could do this to myself. i think about how i did this to myself and it makes me even more miserable and suicidal. i lie awake at night multiple times a week thinking about how i ruined my life. i dont understand how some people can become late bloomers and waste so much time in their life and then not only get the motivation to turn it around in their 30s, but even sometimes actually achieve it. i acknowledge that i still continue doing nothing to better my life and i want to change but i just dont even see the point. i dont see the point when so much of my formative life i gone. i feel completely helpless.
>>72303409Dont worry man, I haven't lived with my parents til 17, have a job, have friends, divorced and haven't had a women show interest in years, fit as fuck beyond anything I could have dreamed when I was young, and going to grad school.All I think about is suicide. I'd say the next few months its very likely. The truth is life doesn't get any better. The good times were maybe teens into 20's if you don't have all the good things by that point its not going to happen and we're just delaying the inevitable. I trudged on for 5 more years past your almost 31 years and life just becomes more and more hellish.
>>72303409All the things you think are bad will only get worse, you'll become more alienated from everyone, become more lonely because you barely see your friends, you work will steal your soul far worse than anything, and any decent women are long since married off and living their dream lives with their husbands and family. Its like sitting in the cold in a christmas movie watching the perfect families open presents turned up to 11 because of the years of trying to make something out of nothing but realizing you never had the raw materials in the first place.
>>72303467i truly dont believe its possible to get worse than things already are except for homelessness i guess. as you say "never had the raw materials", yeah i truly never did. even when i was in high school and was a studious dedicated student and that was al i had, i still had no ambition for college or a career, and still had no friends or relationships. at this point i truly cannot even fathom what it would be like to have friends or even go on a date.>>72303445you are 36 then?
>>72303565I am, and I don't plan on turning 37. There's nothing good on the other side of 25 and it never gets better. Only worse.
>>72287160Guangzhou white boy reporting in. Chinese girls are such sweeties.
>>72303588but i dont understand. you have clearly gotten the ambition to do all these things (only living on your own, maintaining friends, having a job, diligent about fitness, going to grad school) past 25 so i dont understand why suddenly you would say its all worthless and you want to kysunless this all boils down to "im divorced and have no other women so i want to kms" like a lot of posts on here boil down to
Current hairloss prevention routine:CO2 bath (baking soda + vinegar in warm water til bubbles fizzle out) - 2x per weekAspirin rinse (aspirin + baking soda 1:2 ratio, mixod with water and poured over head) - 2x per weekI think i'm still losing ground though. Might try same more topical ointments (taurine, caffiene, niacinamide) in the future. How effective are the microneedling pens?
>>72303629Its all empty nonsense.Travel? you go see places and they all start to look the same, you learn new things and you realize its all stupid as fuck and kept in context, you meet new women but you realize they're all vapid whores and you'll never find a partner, you get a house in a new neighborhood but you hate everyone near you. Hell I'm going to a top 10 global university right now for my grad degree and its basically a stupid waste of time and hasn't advanced my career any. Been ghosted by two recruiters this week alone for jobs I'm overqualified for.I'm so full of hate for everyone and everything at this point I've began rejecting anyone or anything new immediately so it doesn't disappoint me. Like anyone smiles at me and I scowl pure hate into their eyes. I've been so filled with disappointment they could power a fucking nuclear reactor off my salt.All anyone wants to do is take from you and anything new or interesting is just a grift from someone trying to take advantage of you. My career is over because kids coming in at 22 are getting jobs near my level because of their family. All my hard work was worthless. And to top it all off I don't have a family to come home to and won't even because I'm too old.
>>72303651So am I lonely? Yeah because I've got nothing, my ex wife was a literal autist who broke me down over 5 years until I had enough. Thought I could dive into my career, but I'm too old for anyone to give a damn about. Traveling is fucking retarded and worthless after 22 countries who gives a shit. Even learning languages is pointless because why would I want to talk to grifting assholes in other countries? There's enough here.Should have just shit out kids like all the retards in my home down. At least I'd have someone to come home to at the end of the day instead of my dog and some laundry to do.Even fitness is pointless. I'm effectively twice as fit as I was when I was 20 because I was a dumb fuck and didn't know how to train. What good does it do me? Jack fucking shit. I just get beat to death by 18 year olds with a decade of high altitude simulation under their belt. Longevity from having a healthy heart? Who gives a shit when a 12 gauge slug is going in my brain.
>>72303409It's the times i'd say. Your situation is common. Go take a risk, or take a trip somewhere. If i was single with no kids i'd move to latam and work a remote job. Seems like you have nothing to lose (no offense) so do something bold. God bless you. When i read your post it reminded me of my cousin who is just like you. I have tried to help him a lot, even got him a job, but there is no drive in him at all. Had to intervene so he wouldnt get fired. Do better than him anon. Do something cool before you knock up some slag and have real responsibility
>>72303670>go do a risk, take a trip somewherei have no interest in traveling. whoop de doo, travel to a new place where i will be alone, to see stuff alone, to be miserable alone. its too much work for me>Do something cool before you knock up some slagi will literally never have sex so thats not a concernwhat happened to your cousin then? at least he had someone who cared about him (you). my parents (basically the only people i have) have watched me rot away me entire life and didnt care at all basically
These Nazi incel oldies will never have the virtues we the newer generations have, keep coping
>>72303746You're spot on. Also don't go to latin america I've been all over it. Its a fucking nightmare especially because you're lonely. There are no women there that are not whores, literally every woman you meet will 100% have been a prostitute at some point or is currently one. Because you're lonely that puts you in a dangerous situation where you'll have to always be on guard which will make you more miserable.
>>72303746It's not "travel" if you live there for an extended period of time. Doesn't have to be that either, just a risk of some sort. Sometimes a little volatility is all you need
>>72303803This guy has no clue. He's got family and friends and thinks he knows the misery of emptiness. Go do something is not a solution it's just misery with different wrapping paper. Hell my marriage ended in Florence in a rooftop patio we rented overlooking the dome. For those of us who are destined to suffer there is no escape.
>>72303803i know its defeatist but i just dont agree with it, that you need a "risk" or "volatility" to make it. im not even motivated enough to have success in an environment where it is pretty easy to have success. you have to be a huge failure to live in america and not be able to succeedat even the basic tenants of life. there is no way that i can do something like moving to a foreign country where i wouldnt even know the basic language and skills and have any success. the mere thought of traveling and having to manage myself, be able to get around, talk to peope, do things fills me with sheer terror.
>normal people don't have to "do anything" and they still have a normal successful life>they just exist while doing a basic amount of work and they do well in school, get a good job and then learn skills to go to other jobs to develop their careers, make friends, have relationships, do activities, travel, buy a house, have children, all of it comes very naturally to most people>autistic losers have to scratch and claw and drop everything to "take risks" and do huge undertaking just to even come close to scratching the basement of what these normal people achieve since childhood just from existing
>>72303880Yep it was over for us from the starting line.
Would any of you older anons feel more fulfilled by having a child from a surrogate?You could raise him to do the things you missed out on
>>72290418You're overthinking. Radically simplify the question: ARE YOU HAPPY?If yes, then crack on. A relationship doesn't have to be perfect or joyful 100% of the time.If no, then bounce. Don't allow fear of the unknown or sunk cost fallacy rule you. Any benefit you are currently getting from your gf can be replicated elsewhere.Also for fucks sake get your act together. Quit weed, get a job. You'll make better decisions when you have some self esteem.

>>72288251While I find Asians attractive, and generally don't care about race, I did date an Asian woman for 4 years, and afterwards when I ate some Mexican and white pussy I was reminded that pussy can indeed taste good. I'll hold out judgements for the next Asian pussy I eat, but the one I had wasn't tasty. Mean blow jobs though, and slamming body.
>>72303409>i dont even have an answer as to how i did this to myself. i could say laziness and apathy i guess, but i feel like this surpasses laziness, i feel that there is something seriously mentally wrong with me37 year old here. Not in anywhere bad a situation as you but I have something I want to say. I could have easily became you. I had some good luck that kept me from falling so low. Do you think that part of the reason you are like this is becytherr isn't anything meaningful to motivate you or there isn't anything worth it? I mean look at the world , it's a crab bucket. There is competition for all resources. You are forced to slave away doing stressful u fulfillming work to earn money to live. Each and everyday I dream about throwing it all away and trying to live in a remote place by growing food and fishing. I just wish I had the body and mind to do it.
>>72303880It only seems that way because we grew up gifted and in need of special treatment, which made us into we're self-centered manchildren who feel we're surrounded by simpletons that can't fathom or even inagine the depths of our personal anguish.I look at my normie friends and it seems success came to them automatically. But really the difference between me and them is that when they felt scared and anxious and insecure, they still did it while I hid in my room and went nowhere fast. When they lacked the skills or qualifications to achieve something, they worked tirelessly to what came naturally to me, who was so smart I thought I would get a seven figure job at SpaceX as a reward for being me and then felt embittered at the world for not dancing to my tune and giving me what I wanted. I was supposed to be special.But I'm older now and realize I made my own bed.
>>72291257Bear in mind that "boomer" has become a retarded bastardised term, used by retarded bastardised kids, to mean "anyone older than me". But you're also correct, too many objectively young guys are writing themselves off prematurely. For example >28 year old boomer here, I just broke up with my first ltr and I'm not sure that the job I got into fresh from college is the one I want to do until retirement, my life is literally in pieces, dubs decides if I kill myselfJesus fucking Christ you young faggots, nothing comes easy or without setbacks. Read the biography of any great man, a common theme is failed marriages, failed business ventures, career hopping, starting from rock bottom several times. Change and instability is the norm in life, not a sign of impending doom

Eventually I lost the plot and ragequit, now I'm sat back at home 2 years later with my mother with zero shame about my progress in lifeYou are making progress but it's spiritual progress. You feel good inside, but outwardly you have nothing. If you realize that life is empty and without meaning and you're okay with that, then you have won the game of life.
>>72287137kek, all knee slapping aside though: Based. Instead of whining you did something to improve your life. I hope you're both happy.>>72300520Doesn't sound like you'd be a bad catch. Are you hideously ugly, or do you think that you are, or what's the matter with you?
>>72300813I started with calisthenics (YAYOG). While building muscle slower and not to the extent of a proper gym routine, it improves your stabilizing muscles as well as your coordination and flexibility.I'd still recommend a couple of months of cali as a base before hitting the gym. There are only upsides to it.
>>72301346An ungrateful woman is the biggest drain you can imagine. On your time, your finances, but most of all on your spirit. Beat her to it and break things off with her. Find a girl who's younger, more fun to be around, and actually enjoys sex.
