At what age should men transition out of the Playboy lifestyle?

[Jesse Pinkman]

Playboy, F*ckboy, or any word for guy that gets laid a lot.

It seems like in your teens, this type of lifestyle is all the hype and something to be proud of. At what age in your opinion is it a lifestyle that goes from glamorized to cringe? Is there even an age for it?

 

[BPH]

I'd say this falls under "do what you wanna do, and don't worry about the opinions of people who don't affect your life".

Unpopular Take:

Whenever he is ready but I will say this I always found it weird when I used to be younger, going to the club and seeing a 45-year-old with a potbelly trying to mack on 21-year-old chicks, or a group of old guys dressed like Miami Vice trying to hit on younger women. It just looked cringe

 

[Gamisch]

Never.

Matter a fact, the most common timeline for a man will be something like:-
fall in love 1st time( 16) and getting played. Brush it off like it never happened.
-Mature as a man. Get some ONS but eventually he'll run into a dime piece. Getting a serious gf, cohabitation, perhaps kids ect.
- then he might get played again but this time it will be devastating.
- perhaps he goed through this a couple more times

Now he is older ( 30/35/40+? ) been there done and ONLY NOW he might start to think FECK IT. I live for ME.

So yeah, women might say he should " grow up" but he knows too much now. So now he might decide that he will be a " player for life".

- on top of that most men don't start winning until their 30/ 40s. Financially spiritually game-wise. So ,arguably a man whose older can thoroughly enjoy his prime ,like women did between 16 - 40.

Watch californication. I have that one on top of my list for my next vacation. Hank Moody embodies what I'm saying here..

When your priorities start changing and you mature as a man.

For some people that's never.

 

[Scaramouche]

For a young Man later,for an older Man never!

I got over it in my 30s because I got sick of dealing with the on and off BS from surface level dating. At some point, you have to ask yourself if you are truly scared of commitment or do you actually hate women. As I have settled down, I have had more energy to focus on other things and I have had to disconnect from a few friends because we just aren’t compatible anymore.

Also, most people on the internet are putting up a facade.

At that age, being a Special Ops soldier who's done 800 tours of duty or/and The CEO of a Fortune 500 company also APPEAR desirable. Then, we(ideally anyway)get a bit older, and

-Meet a few genuine fu-kboys(Talking here fellas who's only real focus in life is getting some broad into bed), realize that they're the male equivalents of

That sh-t works in your 20s, then just gets increasingly pathetic, when someone tries to drag it out longer than that

-Encounter former SEALs and Green Berets who are perpetually strung out on booze and dope... The emotional and psychological toll of being in the field entirely too long makes numbing up an irresistible temptation, and The US government relies on foolish youngsters who mistake everything they see in fiction for reality to fill out the ranks of our Spec Ops forces

-Become aware of what the typical Fortune 500 exec's existence actually looks like... It doesn't entail any semblance of a home and family life. The wives and children of these fellas aren't kidding, when they say: "We see him once a week, and even then, we have to make an appointment with the front desk, in order to do so"

Subsequently, few of us try to be carbon-copies of Hank Moody in RL, pursue careers in JSOC, or/and rise to The C Suites of Merck

I banged a lot of girls over two different 3yr periods in my early and late 30's, as a result I learned a lot about women. I encourage every man to do it at least once.

I've got all sorts of crazy stories and great memories because I never cared what others thought.

Eventually it gets too easy, you get tired of the risks, and shallowness and want something deeper. I did get tired of sharing my life with random women every 2-3 months.

If you want to sample different women on a regular basis then do it For as long as it's enjoyable. Don't worry about what some dude on the Internet thinks.

This lol. In addition, I’ve banged 5 different girls in one night, had threesomes with females, and etc. None of those experiences are like top 10 in my most memorable memories regarding females.

[Vanderdonck]

The lifestyle: whenever he feels like it.

The mentality: Never!

 

[Doug_Pounder]

Some may think that every man needs a "f*ckboy phase". I agree, while eventually a guy will probably get burn out from sleeping around without that phase he will get into LTRs and always have that feeling that he missed out. I think it's more important to hit those essential milestones in life than it is to waste mental bandwidth on thoughts of being cringe or stuff like that.

No beef just found these comments hilarious​

Really depends.

I’m entering my mid 30s and starting to see why monogamy has its place.

I think that you have to ask this question

“ why do I want to bang a lot of women ? “

most of the times I have seen the answer is to prove your manhood

for other guys it is about learning how to improve their chances with the girls that they actually like, and usually one way or the other they stop after

for others it is about passing time till they find something that they actually like

others are sex addicted, and like every addiction they need professional help

 

[Fortune_favors_the_bold]

I have the opinion that settling doesnt come once reached a certain point in your timeline.

It's a deviation you purposely do when the time is right and the time is right on a certain window and not just after a certain point waiting for you to pull the brakes.

If you have your fun then a good opportunity arise in your late 20s or early 30s with a more than decent woman, that's your window cause if you dont slow down and turn in that direction, you will keep going and it's not sure that other potential spots later on will be worth to stop.

Think of a good parking place that it's not close enough to the entrance so you decide to keep driving only to find out that the closer you get to the destination and the less decent places are available till you decide to just stay in the car.

Also, most people on the internet are putting up a facade.

Online and in public life more generally. Our contemporary fixation on authenticity ignores the fact that the "authentic self" is the one that picks his or her nose wantonly while superglued to a couch barely held together with duct tape, clad in a spaghetti-stained Limp Bizkit shirt and underwear that's been torched with over 1,000,000,000 skidmarks, binge watching 2 Broke Girls re-runs

The prospects of encountering someone's "authentic self" is thus less alluring the being a modern day toddler, who finds themselves in the talons of a surviving Haast's Eagle

 

[Manure Spherian]

Really depends.

I’m entering my mid 30s and starting to see why monogamy has its place.

Monogamy was invented for:
1. Prevention of men fighting to the death over women.
2. Having most men with a stake in the future.
3. High investment parenting.
4. Not having innocent third parties paying tax dollars to support feral bast@rds who get up to much anti-social activity.

do what you wanna do, and don't worry about the opinions of people who don't affect your life

There is a point, when not having a wife or kids, one or the other, impacts you negatively. People think something is wrong with you.
