As you get older, you give less of a F, so it sort of compensates.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Anyone scared to get old?

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Wisdom.
I've recently had a couple of college kids move in next door. Sounds like their dad bought the property for them.
I hear them running up and down the stairs all the time. I hear them having friends over and partying. It p1sses me off. But then I remember doing the same thing at their age

I'm not scared of getting old, but I won't pretend that I'm looking forward to it.
I intend on staying as mentally and physically fit to the best extent I can. I'm only in my late 20s but I'm already starting to research what it will take to promote longevity and mentally prepare myself for the inevitability of my decay as I get older.
When my mind and body start to wither away past the point of no return, when there is no point in continuing to exist, I think I will just stop eating and embrace death with open arms.

I'm 31, I'm losing hair (albeit very slowly), I feel old, but I look 25 still (black don't crack, albeit half breed).
I feel like the same 21-year-old kid that was abused confused and scared my whole life.
Except now I make the rules, I determine what does or does not enter my life. I have money now, no kids or other dependants, I'm in the best place of my life at 31 and I haven't even seen the best of it yet.
Age is just a number, just keep on top of your health (mental and physical). Use every experience to learn and grow and you can't go wrong.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

older then most on the site, don't need to work but do. sex 15+ times a week for at least 15+ minutes not including playtime. Stronger, Faster, More wealthy, More aware than ever before. I can still remember in the past being 45 and realizing I was the guy that I used to worry about competing with when I was 30. I know logically that at some point there will be a decline (maybe at 90), but in my case, older is better so far. All of life has been like a pendulum, the swing to it really sucks and then later the new learned from the bad changes everything. It happens over and over.
I still can't accept the dark side but know how it works. There is actually more power in the light, I guarantee it, but awareness is critical.

Nope. Like Louis CK once said... suicide can get u out of pretty much any inconvenience. But u can only do it once. I’m paraphrasing. I’m also not having kids. So that’s probably how I’ll go.
Sounds nice. But it also sounds like a whole lot of waiting and not a lot of doing. Things don’t work that way.
Well, you better get off your lazy ass and keep working out, I haven't stop training, and never will until I drop dead. Been training for around 20 years, probably got another 50 to go, judging from my family tree, who tend to pass away in the 90's. My grandma is still going fine at 98, still walking around on her own, Grandpa passed at 93 but until then he was still playing golf. Never missed a day.

yeah, doubt it
Do you meditate?
I have seen similar and it fvcking sucks!!! You can't sugar coat BS around it either.... its a downright miserable existence. We all should take for granted that we are able to wipe our azzes ourselves during the present time.
What if you get get alzheimers?
I think people take "being surrounded by loved ones" literally. No one can predict if that will be true, just look at all the COVID deaths who's families weren't allowed in those rooms. I think the idea of leaving a legacy is more profound though.
I don't know..
Agree. Also I'll add craft beer and premium liquor for those of us with those vices
Perhaps having some kind of sublime understanding. Do you believe in God or an after life?
You can work out as much as you want. Father time is undefeated...

Just stay fit. Muscles that aren't used atrophy. Bones that don't bear a load get weaker.

True. Is getting older an excuse not to take care of our health?
Only if you dgaf about living anymore and you’re ready to give it up…

Hopefully. This topic is quite deep though...
"All men die but only some live"
Live your life to the fullest so you don't regret later in life not trying or doing things while you still can.
Don't worry about getting old. It's something you can't control but what you can control is how you live your life now.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
I think that is bullcrap, if you can't fit in time for yourself, your not fit to be a father. Being healthy is also part of your responsibility. Make it work.
I'm not afraid of it any longer. A year as a city cop and 8 years active duty was plenty for me. I don't recover the same from workouts now in my 30's and ache a bit more, but I accomplished enough. Time to move on in my 30's. If I didn't do any of this for myself, I would be regretting it when 40 rolls around, bullsh!t or not.

Seeing more and more of my relatives getting old and sick. It looks miserable.. having trouble moving, constant aches and pains.. just detoriating away day by day..
These were people that were once so full of life.. it's sad and time passes quick.

Yeah 50s are probably ok.. but once you hit senior citizen territory another story
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
