We should really have a talk about this scam that "Men peak in their 40s", it's not helping the young fellas at all

[The Duke]

A man's peak is relative to who he is and where he is at in life. There is no single age or requirements that define it, as clearly evident by the comments.

The point is that as you get older and mature and gain life perspective, what should be important changes.

And chasing 21 year old women around ain't it.

According to you for sure, but according to others that might not be the case. Not everyone views the world the same, and thats ok.

Yeah that's just it. I really don't buy the idea that your age is relevant to anything except the sort of culture you were exposed to.

I certainly do not believe that people automatically get wiser and more mature as they age, nor do I believe that younger people are naive or less mature. I've met old men I relate to more than ones my own age, and I've also met old men who acted like children. The same applies for women.

Our values, sense of humor, lifestyle, goals, etc aren't exactly age-dependant. Theses sorts of things are kind of set in stone pretty early on and might not change too much.

Consider that if a man has these two qualities alone: 1) $100k a year income 2) having a 6 pack - he is already exceeding the top 1% of men for all ages.

I am the 1% then.

100k is not high income though. Is it that bad out there?

I know it's not all that much nowadays (though it's still well above average and certainly enough to live well) but making 100k AND having a 6pack is unusual. Consider it this way: most of these traits aren't very special on their own, but when you start stacking them together they turn into force multipliers. 6 ft, 6pack, 6 figures for instance is like the holy trinity.

Also consider the intangible qualities men need too (ie game, abundance, frame) and you will set yourself even further apart from whatever few men are in your demo.

I am well over 100K and have a 6-pack when I need to (summer) plus am in elite shape for my age overall(ie, 60lb weighted vest hill sprints for 30 mins straight, weighted vest, weighted sled pulls, 100+ reps of overhead slams with 30lb weighted slam ball in 5 mins, etc).

The amount of punishing this allows me to produce in the bedroom is unmatched.

I’d say a man’s peak for getting 18-22 year olds is definitely probably around 27-29. Simply because unless you have so much wealth/status that it doesn’t matter most very young women in that age range aren’t going to be interested in a man much older than that with some exceptions.

However, I’d say for all women over 23, you absolutely can slay it in your 30s and into your 40s. I just turned 40. Outside of a single LTR I had a few years ago, every woman I ever been with has been in her 20s. No - no 18 year olds, but I’ve done exceptionally well. Right now at 40, I find myself being more about having my own time to do what I want and I only go on “dates” here and there. I have a single plate who is 28 years old and she makes things super easy for me. That’s what matters to me now.
