You know...the age age where a lot of men mature and stop playing the game of living for others or caring what others think.

They wear whatever they want...plain jeans and tshirts...maybe a new pair of cheap sneakers or boots every few years. A lot of them drive some 20 yr old pickup with a few dents...maybe a motorcycle in the garage.

All their time and money belongs to themselves...no cares about what others think of their looks. Enjoy hobbies like fishing, hunting, woodworking...with no cares about documenting life for social media image.

They know how the world works in regards to women so they don't go out of their way chasing them...they know there will be expectations compromising their freedoms with most of them.

Perhaps as close to freedom as most will ever get.

Being middle aged is GOAT.

it's called lower test levels. You can do that right now by becoming a eunuch

Op is finally trying men

particularly goated if you were able to at least experience some of the old world (like pre 2010-2012). would be weird as hell becoming middle age with all your memory being 2012+.

higher test levels make men more adapt at being cucked by clown world societal expectations?

If you have the urge to win, dominate, succeed, and clap cheeks then yes your test levels are quite high. Men with high test have no other choice. They have to play the game no matter how rigged it is against them.

toxic masculinity hoisted on modern men by our overlords that seek to profit on the gullible.

gmiscer called he wants his thread back

prophet. sometimes you have to realize winning the game means not living your life jumping through all hoops until you die.

OP is correct. pursuing women is not worth the effort. it's like that saying "the juice is not worth the squeeze".

you're better off spending your free time pursuing your hobbies and chilling.
