Nah dude... The guys I know who have a decent career and stayed in shape over 30 absolutely slay. They can pull from the entire pool of desirable women. Not only is it easy to grab early to mid 20s chicks you can also pull from the divorced 30s chicks and your competition has all gotten fatter and uglier. The only people who would have tougher time are the glow crew who only want to date teenagers

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

But you're still not gonna look bad. I hold fat in my back but i know i still look better than majority of people. Its hard to get fully pealed and shredded but just to get lean and acquire seperation isn't yoo difficult

100% genetics based, bodybuilding is the biggest cope every cause it's all genetics. Some guys have that sharp jawline and abs at higher bodyfat% cause they store it in their legs, then other guys store it on their stomach and have the muffin top all the way down to like 12%. Also 10% and lower is not worth it, went there and felt so bad crashed my car due to brain fog and stopped getting morning wood though I didn't cut how I should I slashed calories and threw in tons of cardio instead of lowering calories and keeping lifts as close to same as possible.

Truth. As you age you need some fat in your face or you'll look much older.

100% this. People have an unrealistic perception in regards to body fat. At my most shredded I'm probably around 10% but usually about 12 to 15%. I'm probably around 15% in my avi and I've seen a lot of posters claim lower numbers that are clearly higher.
