Muscle past 35 = bad look? (srs)

Over 35 Misc will most likely be all "35 is the new 18" so posting it here to get a better (srs) perspective from both young and old.

Anyway, starting to think that past 35, the more muscle you have the worse you look. Past this age, you are more attractive if you project mental confidence, and look like a man busy with a career/business chit. If you are buff, you look like you have time on your hands and you are quite possibly a tradie. Being lean or just in shape for health is good because it doesn't require as much work as building muscle and looks like you take care of yourself.



Story time:

- Buddy was celebrating successful surgery. Went to a strip club, always a good laugh, plus tiddies.

- Got to talking to a stripper. Touching my arm, she goes: so why are you so strong? Are you in construction or something?

- My brah almost lost his chit laughing but that got me to thinking. I'm sitting there wearing fine clothes, expensive watch and the sloot thinks I must be working construction if I look strong at my age.


Conclusion:

Past 35, your concern should be your career so looking strong has likely something to do with your career. As in, it might require it. As in, you must lift chit for a living.


Question:

1) How do you young'ns see older buff guys outside the gym?

2) Fellow old farts, what have you noticed?



EDIT: Mind blown how many people can't read on the misc. The question here is not 'should I stop lifting and become a fat slob'. Question is does being lean and in shape look better as you age than being buff (building more muscle).

It really separates you from everyone else. Every other dude is turning into a bloated mess. If you look a little athletic, you are basically a chad that doesn't even have to put much effort into getting broads to clap cheeks.

-be over 35
-be muscular and lean
-dress well, carry self in professional manner and be successful
-?????
-profit


Being over 35 and muscular can be a huge advantage, just don’t look or act like a tradie and you’ll be golden. Im not there yet but I’ll have two advanced degrees and multiple professional certifications so I’m not concerned with some perception of being a tradie due to being in shape

At said age you need to lift more than ever. You will watch everyone around dissolve into a pile of slob while you maintain greatness.

Alternative is not to turn into a slab of grease. Concentrating more on a lean look instead of building muscle though?

If you look like you work construction, you look like you work construction. Muscles or fine clothes won't make a difference.

strong insecurity beta ******* lol. In the end, if you like lifting then lift. Some people will find muscle attractive, some wouldn't. Age doesn't really have anything to do with it.

The model for the application of your principles is the boxer rather than the gladiator. The gladiator puts down or takes up the sword he uses, the boxer always has his hands and needs only to clench them into fists.
