I get that 30 is kinda a scary mark to hit, no longer in your 20's no longer a kid, etc. I dont know why but 30 seems like adulthood these days as opposed to a few years back when most people were moving out and independent by like 18 or 21.

It's really not a big deal. 30 used to seem ancient to me when I was 21 and in the bars and would occasionally wind up talking to or hanging out with older people.

30 is actually a pretty cool age though. Your still young plus ideally now your established in a career, have your own place, have a bit more money. It's like being 21 but having money to do things.

I never really planned on having a kid or getting married or really settling down to like 35 anyway.

30's give you a lot more options than 20's. Girl's usually don't go for younger men, plus us guys usually want younger broads. If you are 23, you are somewhat limited to girls 18-23. When you are 30, your pool increases to 18-30. Even if you want to go for a cougar, it's harder at 23 when you are immature and goofy , and your opportunities are better at 30.

Late 30s here, my fbuddy is 24. As has been said, just don't get fat. Watch your diet because your metabolism probably will slow down.

I still get a little surprised when I meet a woman in their early-mid 20s and tell them my age how little they care.

Bingo...

If you avoid getting fat you will notice that you will basically increase in your attractiveness level. Most guys are getting fat so you will be a select few.
At 41 I look at most of my friends growing up and like 80-90% of them are overweight.
These same guys pushed me to gain weight when I was younger cause I am slim. Ok I am still slim with muscle and these guys are all huge.
I get called "young man" in the street by women who are obviously younger than me..so who knows!

That being said..I stopped drinking. It seems to me much harder to deal with recovery than when I was 27.

Agreed, in fact recovery from everything isn't as easy, especially working out, which gets harder. In my 20s I'd work, gym, go out, drink/eat whatever, with no problem. Now it's harder, I can still do it (minus the drink/eat whatever), but it's certainly not as easy. I'd still emphasize that changing one's diet is most important. Limit carbs and sugar.

I'm not tall (5'9) nor rich (I'm not poor either), but as long as someone is assertive, in shape and has their career moving in a good trajectory, getting very attractive women in their 20s shouldn't be a problem.

[sportbilly]

this thread has made me laugh. Worrying about turning 30...I will only repeat what most other replies have said. I am 38, all my friends are married (or on marriage 2, or even 3)........but my god, what are they married too.

Looking at these guys in their late 30's married to late 30's British women........with their rolls of flab, bad dress sense.......jesus I am so HAPPY I am 38 and not tied down to somebody like that!

I exercise like a demon.....and the other day I met a 20 year old Russian girl.......she asked "how old are you"........I said 30 (I am 38)....and she never batted an eyelid.......exercise hard, keep in shape.......it is half the battle.

I was in Lima airport and hotel shuttle driver was shock when reveal my age. It really helps with the idea of getting older when you look 10-15 years younger. @ speakeasy happy birthday. Mines tomorrow as well,

[draguer]

Being in my early 20s I can't speak from experience. However, the amount of times that people unprompted in working environments have told me not to get married indicates to me you shouldn't worry.

I have learned to be discrete about my travelling and freedom because it creates friction with guys who are self-admittedly trapped.

[Pinocchio]

Men peak around 35 and we have a slow burn..nothing to worry about :-)

[lovejoy]

I wouldn't worry about it much, the way things are you generally get two shots at batchelorhood anyway. I didn't get out of the game until 34, married a 22 year old, and became single again after 24 years at 56...life is good.

You're CHOOSING to do this to yourself. Your first step is to stop self-sabotaging yourself with thinking. This takes active effort on YOUR part - we can't do this for you.

If your life isn't measuring up to your expectations, TAKE ACTION instead of moping. If you're working towards a goal, you are actively engaged in changing your life for the better. If you're sitting there feeling sorry for yourself, nothing will happen, and the cycle will continue.

Self-improvement will mean stepping outside your comfort zone, which, in turn, strengthens your masculinity. Focus on the lifestyle and game sections of this forum, ask questions, and take control of your life.

30's were my best decade. 40's pretty great, too. Both were better than 20's.

Also: "if you don t get ...a volvo car you failed you life." I think if you get a Volvo, you failed! Or any Swedish car. Hate the Swedes and their feminist culture. Also, Volvos are UGLY! Get a German car or an Italian car!

Im 35 man, and better than ever.

More money, more pussy, more options. It does gets better that this though.

28 and loving this thread. I have been down this last month. Took a trip to paradise but came back broke. I have lost 5 pounds in the last three months, starting to work out and work on my business plan to get out the states. By 30 I'll be in paradise fucking young and grown women.. 28-33 are some of the best years cause you realistically have access to both 18-40 yos.

I think that's because of study and stuff mentality change and people are leaving theirs parents place later than before.

I guess that was my case too.

@The Father

That's my stereotype family car haha since forever !

But you make me laught thanks


@AnonymousBosch :

You are absolutely right about everything you said. Thanks.

Thinking is killing sometimes and you right about if you are sitting and waiting forever for something different. It won't. For sure.

I would love to kill my confort zone and get out of here (my job is the biggest confort zone ever... damn).

[Suits]

Turning 30 should only be scary if you didn't do what you were supposed to in your 20's.

You should turn 30 with a clear path set out ahead of you because you got the prerequisites in your twenties (i.e., the stuff that has to be accomplished, but takes time).

By thirty, you don't need to know what you will do to make money, but you should have an iron clad way to make money if all else fails.

You should speak the languages you are going to need to speak for the future you have planned out. It's never to late to learn, but setting aside the six months or two years necessary to learn certain languages during your empire building years in your thirties is going to be a pain.

The twenties are a perfect time to learn a language, because it can be done in combination with seeing the world.

At thirty you should be done with your undergrad, if you are going to need one. Studying during your thirties isn't going to be a very good use of your times, whereas, during your twenties, it may be an excellent use of your time (access to sexual markets that don't care how rich you are).

You don't need to have a business setup or a career underway at thirty, but you should have the resume necessary to start.

If you are nearing thirty, concentrating on getting your ducks in a row. Then you can enter a new decade without fear...


....you know exactly where you are heading and it's going to be awesome.

Haha, yeah, I was checking out condos in Manila a couple of months ago and the landlady's telling me all about the area and the bars, then she stops, looks at me and says, "wait, are you 21?" I'm just like, "yeah, yeah." At 31, that's always nice. Actually, now that I think of it, the legal drinking age here is 18...why would she say that, lol? Well, she was a church lady that didn't drink, and her husband was American (she may have also been American), so maybe she was used to the American drinking age...

Anyways, one of the reasons people think I'm younger is people expect Americans to get fat as they age, and if you don't, that automatically makes you "younger" in their mind.

In Austin, TX a couple of months back, my buddy and I walk into a bar, he's 26 (he's out of shape), and the bouncer lets him walk right in without a second glance. Me, the guy looks at my ID, looks at me, looks at my ID, then goes, "what's your birthday?" I give him my birthday and he's like, "okay..." My buddy was a little pissed, but it's his fault for eating junk every day, so, I mean, actions have consequences.

It's sweet, man, all I've got to say is paleo, paleo, paleo. Paleo, or as close to it as you can, it's the way to go if you want to look like a man in the prime of life for as long as possible.

[presidentcarter]

I'm not too far from 30 and I usually get 23-25 from most people and it is a good feeling. When I was in my teens, I grew faster and got facial hair earlier than other kids. I was also buying everyone explicit content CDs without needing a fake ID at the shops that were strict about it. Thinking back, I should have charged a commission

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

If things keep going the way they're currently going, I can't wait to be 30. I would NEVER get back to being 18 or 20.

Great point your kinda at a perfect age. When your early 20's alot of chicks your age are going for older guys and alot of older women still think your a baby. 30 you can still pick up the 21 year old chicks without it seeming creepy but also the 30 or even 40 year old cougars if you want. Really not a bad age at all

[Foolsgo1d]

Reminds me of the occasional days when I saw some past high school classmates. The women eye fucked me when they saw me and the guys were wasting away with pot bellies and in two cases, humongous obese-level guts and fat faces.

I dont see the allure of wasting away.

Majority of people my age are in relationships or single mothers.

[DJ-Matt]

I used to worry about getting older and turning 30 until I met one of my new buddies who is 39 and hitting so much 22-27 year old pussy it's not funny.

[John Galt2]

If you think 30 will be bad, look how awful 40 is...

[Solus]

A man at 30 with a rock solid career/direction, good health, game and no wife or kids is a goddamn superhero.

[ryansoldat]

@John Galt2

And what happen at 50 ?

[Party Pooper]

If you are 30 years old, have your own place to live, have a decent job, are in shape and don't look too bad, you are 'the catch' for every single women ranging from 22 to 35.

If you go to the right venues, like after work parties, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

As a guy you almost can't get too old. Even when your 50 years old and have a decent payroll over the years, you're still golden if you don't weigh in at 240lbs of blubber.
