Yes, that's an extreme example but the idea holds weight... in N. America if you're 35+ and you look good (in shape, well-dressed) and have a decent personality you'll still have a shot with women in their early 20s.

Outside of N. America big(ger) age gaps are even more normal.
Yep women call most men creepy behind their back if they're ugly. It's all about the looks.

This, I'm 39 and I think I've maintained myself well. Have a date this weekend with a hottie 15 years younger than me.

TFW you are 28 years old but you still look like you are early 20s. But you have the wisdom, confidence, muscle mass, attitude, and resources of someone your age...

Exactly. There are exceptions to everything. I think OP makes a very good point, for the majority of the population, the men will stop taking care of themselves, stop learning new skills, stop exploring, stop making goals, etc. They will devalue. For men who are driven, have good genetics, take care of themselves, we will age gracefully and that is precisely when age becomes just a number

Staying away from stress and/or learning how to handle it is key here

Tbh the real cope is "its cope to think you get laid easier as you get older" for people who stopped improving after college.

Last two girls I saw regularly: 20yo over the summer (ended labor day) 21yo saw during fall/winter (ended before x mas). Both 7+/10's. And b4 the hater crew jumps all over me. Both I met on tinder. They both knew I was 40 years old. I didn't buy them any gifts, or pay them one red cent.

This is also why you see it alot on here, where guys that were successfull with women in high school or college, suddenly become FA as soon as they graduate.

They look the same pretty much, so what happened? Well, they lost their social status. The high school kid built his network and reputation over the course of 12 years. So in his senior year in high school he had girls in every clique riding his jock.

Then he graduates, moves off to college and is a nobody.

The reverse is also true. The high school kid that didn't have that many friends, was kind of a loser...graduates, goes off to college, breaks out of his shell, finds a group of guys to chill with...the guys give him respect. Then suddenly... BAMMM!!! He's droppin sorority girls panties every weekend.

I also see this on ig all the time. You see some hbb with pics of her at senior prom, with her high school sweetheart, then next year she's posting pics slootin it up at frat parties with football players, while her senior year prom date is posting #tbt pics of his gf from high school.

Final words of advice before I get back to my stuff
So if you arent a hater. And you are spending hours of your day on the misc zoning out of your reality, only to wake up and realize you are FA. Rewire your entire brain to evaluate every thought and every action into two categories: 1) thoughts/actions to improve yourself (aquire more lms) 2) thoughts actions to keep you exactly where you are today. Flush the second category out of your life because if you aren't moving forward you are moving backwards. Or ldar.

Those are your only options. Good luck bros.
Mirin. Gives me hope. My credentials were fa nerd in school and college, and pretty much till now, however have improved myself vastly the last 7-8 yrs and am pretty much succeeding in all facets of life except girls.
Just need to take that next step

celebs... average *normal* 21 year old sees 35 and runs away. celebrities cannot be projected onto the general population.

So basically, be great on paper. Source: Your personal anecdote.

Doesn't actually work like that in real life. Cool people in high school stay cool in college and vice versa (usually) depending on the atmosphere you're in later on.

The "LMS" thing (looks money status) is utter nonsense. Money and status are things men admire heavily. You should take a legit look at who most of these girls date. Almost all hold some blue collar or low-level white collar job. There's no money or status, at all. On the contrary, the high money/status guys definitely don't go onto kill it. Not to mention high money in the real world is upper 6 figs to lower 7 figs (minimum) and high status goes beyond most jobs. We did have a surgeon earlier this thread mention how little it has helped him though, so there's that.

You peak whenever you take time for yourself. You take 2 years off work at 35 to travel and lift, what do you think is going to happen?
Of course if you work 60 hours/week you're going to look like death.

This, interested in what amount of money misc thinks is normal.

Average household income is like not even 60k. But misc thinks every man can make enough money to stand out and bang chicks younger and hot? Its not reality

Final words of advice before I get back to my stuff
So if you arent a hater. And you are spending hours of your day on the misc zoning out of your reality, only to wake up and realize you are FA. Rewire your entire brain to evaluate every thought and every action into two categories: 1) thoughts/actions to improve yourself (aquire more lms) 2) thoughts actions to keep you exactly where you are today. Flush the second category out of your life because if you aren't moving forward you are moving backwards. Or ldar.

Those are your only options. Good luck bros.
Take notes, kids.

Even 600k is a stretch for that kind of lifestyle (srs). Unless you're directly paying...

I make around 400k/year right now but I save most of it, don't live extravagantly at all. It hasn't helped me bang chicks at all so far. Maybe if I spent more it'd help but I don't really feel like doing that.

Of course if you work 60 hours/week you're going to look like death.
I've been cranking 70+ hours most weeks the last few months and many times over the last 6-7 years. All depends on how you can deal with the stress.

i just read the title of this thread. 'Men gain value with age'
i dont see anything wrong with this statement. this isnt talking about looks, more on value.

Men become richer as they age, more wise, better cars better houses more muscle.

literally the truest of statements

Yep, it's almost harder with a higher salary. Women see you as stable, not fun. Plus you're more tired, less healthy and have less time to play games.

I think to peak you basically have to make it your fulltime job. Quit work, travel, get in super shape, relaxed, social, etc. Kinda like a "kept woman" who stays home, goes to the gym and to the spa all day, and basically looks good for her man as her main activity. It's easy then.

Most guys/girls on instagram who look awesome and make it big have quit their day job, or at least are not slugging away 60 hours/week in a soul-sucking corporate desk job. They're traveling and doing whatever they feel like. That's healthy and it shows. They're basically playing the popular game of high school full time.

Now, you need money to that, but you can save. I save like 80% of my take home pay and I can stop working forever in a few months at 35 if I want to. Look up FIRE if you don't know it
