Anyone else mindblown at how badly their friends let themselves go after college?

And to a lesser degree highschool. I've always been shaking my head at the phenomenon, but just saw a selfie on ******** titled "last day of my 20's". It was a chick and she even used that filter that takes women's visual fakeness a step further. You know, the one that places a gloss over the eyes, brightens their face and puts some flower cht on their head? Yeah she still looked busted wit fat cheeks and the whole bit.

Ran track in college, prime tight body, and was at least a decent looking chick. Now she's just another whale at a desk job. fuking christ this just rustles my jimmies. Where is peoples' ambition? No one needs plastic surgery and lip fillers but fuking hell, nfl sunday and pizza/beer culture should not transform anyone that bad.

I don't know. I would just seriously hate lookin in the mirror knowing what i "once was"

Not one bit. I find it more mind blowing when someone actually makes it to 35 without doubling in size.

When people get older other things take priority. I'm an endo so I always do cardio 4-5 times a week. It's not fun but If I stop doing cardio I'll blow up. I'm not joking if I stop working out and running i'll gain 4-6 pounds a week and when that happens I actually eat less and still gain weight!

same. I used to have a office job, and only lifted for maintenance 3 to 4 times a week. I still softened in the midsection because I ate burgers and drank beer but never spun out of control due to the maintenance lifting I did. Now i'm in a commuter city. No car, take subway everywhere, 4th floor apartment with no elevator... haven't looked this good since I was 23. But still, people should be maintenance lifting and/or not eating like sht. It's just not necessary.

Hottest girl in my class doubled in size. Literally. I saw her at the grocery store one day a few months ago and was shocked.

It's awful. But once people fall into the "rat race" and ESPECIALLY when they "settle down" it allllllllllll goes out the window and they put life on easy mode and start taking on massive debt to be tied to a house in the same place for 30 years so why not just do the safe and easy thing.....

Another thing is health. The second a person's health goes its a wrap. I got diagnosed with a stomach disorder 2 years ago and a heart disorder last year (this one meaning I can no longer work out other than going on walks.................) and I've lost about 50lbs and look like a stick. I hate. I'd kill to be able to go crush some steel again or at least go for a run.

My mind certainly isn't blown. Pretty much expected

Most all of my college friends still look fairly in shape though. Don't really track people from HS

So a friend of mine was a heavy lifter for 15 years but got a Job doing over the road trucking. If he wants to workout he has to drive his own semi (hes an owner operator) to a gym and most crowded parking spaces in 24 hour and such cant accommodate semi's so he said fuark it and gave up. He gained like 80 pounds over three years but he makes good money. I almost had a similar situation with working man camps.

That's why I don't date chicks my age.

I did run into a chick I knew from High School and she was 'mirin my aesthetics. She didn't look too bad just a bit older due to natural aging.

Yep, as someone who is older I saw the same thing.

30s is when you start see the difference in how people age, and who is taking care of themselves and who isn't.

Weight really ages people.


The worst is being newly single in your 30s and getting that wake up shock that your dating pool is no longer like it was in your 20s or college.

Now all the good looking women are married or divorced with kids already, and most of the single women left are fat.

I remember going through that and finding it very depressing.

All the hot girls in my hs look just as good except for 1. For college friends, more than half of them have left themselves go after getting married.

Broads are worse than men, their whole life has been a gimmick of cover up and make up and now it's insta/snapchat filters. You see them at reunions or in person and you're like holy cripes.

There's like that 1% of them though that are still amazing looking or did the reverse where they were semi-whales and are now fit as chit, those are the ones you hang on to.

Most of the women in my office are like this

Probably because there's constantly food around and the general public has zero interest or knowledge of health and fitness

I don't like the term 'let themselves go' because it implies they had their chit together in the first place. Imo most people NEVER have their chit together, so once their metabolism slows down it's game over
