Hey fit, are you afraid of aging?
>>
>>36487344
Mid 20s here. Not yet, I know a man's market value really only goes up until he's like 50. I'm fit and healthy so I don't imagine aging will hit me too long.

If it ever starts to suck I'll likely just hunter s thompson and shoot myself in the head.
>>
yes jesus christ I feel anxious about it every day

I turned 26 this year and I won't get any better, it's all downhill from here. I've literally already peaked, the thought is depressing as fuck
>>
black don't crack so no
>>
>>36487344
I'm a woman so by your logic I should be more concerned, but dgaf much.
>>
>>36487344
IM not really afriad of aging, what IM afraid of is not being able to do what I love for my entire life
>>
No, I am already 30 with 2 kids. Don't give a fuck about going gray.
>>
25 this year

perpetually changing between anxiety and contentment.

i'm setup pretty well, have a good education, a stable and rewarding job that pays relatively well, have a car, apartment, etc.

but I also have pipe dreams and as I get older I can feel the noose tightening and I realise that if I want to pursue this ambition of mine I won't even technically achieve it until I'm in my early 30s.

and if I pursue it I can kiss any realistic expectation of having a family before then goodbye, or any meaningful relationship really.

basically I fear time & losing it.

>>36487344

aging is just unmanaged deterioration I dont think people will still age in the near future
>>
>>36487344
>Be 23-years-old
>Most people think I'm 17 at the oldest

Yes. I want to retain youth for as long as possible. Scientists need to quadruple their search on how to regrow telemeres. I don't want to age or die. Ever.
>>
of course not. I'm 25 and I look like mother fucking 20 yo.
I have partners in class whos looks are like 40 yo and have my same age. That's fucking drepessing man.
>>
I'm 45 and realize I'm on the downward side of things. I figure I have maybe 20 good years left. And my knees are fucked from 30 tears of abuse. Getting old is a bitch, enjoy your youth.

It only goes up if you take good care of yourself and make a good career and money. If you're being a bum in your 20s then you won't magically become prime stock in your 30s.
Also, it only appears to go up but in reality the women's market goes really down so our market seems to be desirable but it's just desperate women trying to hook a semi attractive male who hopefully isn't completely bald by now.

Still, relationships between men in their prime (35-40) and women in their prime (18-25) are really looked down upon by society so it's a shit fest

I'm 38 and feel as good as ever. I know it won't last much longer but you guys in your 20s can stop being dramatic. You're gonna live your whole life from birth over again and you still won't qualify as "old."
>>
>>36487358
I'm turning 26 this year and I don't have a single great memory or accomplishment from since I was a teen. And I don't remember anything from before that either.
I'm not afraid of aging because time never really meant shit to me, but I'm fucking afraid of death. Memento mori, anon.

Yes for sure, i saw a video of a old woman on her 90s watching a video of herself when she was around 20 dancing around, being happy.

Yeah.

Not because of what comes with old age, but the fact I wasted so much of my youth.

I wish I could have those years back, I utterly wasted them.

Now I just have to do the best with that I have.

It's not perfect, but I make it work.

But there's no denying that the fact I'm going to be older than my peers and wasted time will never stop niggling in the back of my mind.

That's all it is isn't it?

All of my black friends growing up, bathrooms filled with moisturizers, hands a bit greasy at time.

Why are white people so anti-moisturizer?
>>
>>36490075
Black people take care of their skin and aren't affected by the sun as much.
Use lotion and sunscreen. You will look that young at 50 too, unless the damage is already done.

I'm dreading the 40-75 range
But I can't fucking wait to hit 80. Because I'm gonna abuse that old age card like no other. Fucking can't wait to do what I think about doing or saying and get less punishment for it

Not really. I look okay considering I'm going to be 28 next month. I apparently look underage sometimes and my autistic ways help that more.
I'm more afraid of being alone because I can't imagine a guy wanting to love someone with loose skin and floppy tatties after I finish losing weight. At least I have hobbies.

Photoaging accounts for anywhere from 10% to a whopping 90% of skin aging, blacks experience almost zero photoaging so as long as they eat healthy and moisturize their skin it will stay almost wrinkle free until the day they die

Not really, I'm glad I'm a man tho, women really do age like milk, I've seen teenage girls that look like they're in their mid twenties and girls in their early twenties that already looked like they were well into their thirties, these girls were just regular normies too, clubsluts who drink or smoke look even worse for their age. If I were a grill I wouldn't even bother going to university, I'd just marry an older man as soon as possible before my looks started to fade

Nah, with modern day knowledge on nutrition, health, and gear a man can be good-looking well in his 40s or even 50s. Look at Sly, he's 70 and still looks good.

I doubt asians tan like whites do.
>>
>>36492163
A. Even the palest Asians still have slightly more melanin in their skin than most white people, hence the brown nipples
B. Almost zero Asian women rape their skin by going suntanning like lots of white girls do

My plan has always been to start a family at around mid to late thirties anyway, that whole situation seems pretty much perfect to me.

My other grandfather died of cancer though, so that's worrying.
>>
>>36492149

that's because he lifts and takes care of himself

most women dont exercise and put makeup on every day which is horrible for your skin

this is why men "age better", cause we WORK for our appearance.
>>
>>36492190
>B. Almost zero Asian women rape their skin by going suntanning like lots of white girls do
They rape their skin with make up though. Their skin-whitening shit is causing cancer

True, but also because aging makes the face look rougher and more masculine, which is good for men, but awful for women. That's why girls are at their hottest in their teens and early 20s, while guys look their best in their 30s.
>>
>>36492212
>skin-whitening shit is causing cancer
Correlation doesn't equal causation tho, I'm highly inclined to think that the reason women who use skin bleach have slightly higher cancer rates than women who don't bleach isn't because the skin whitener is a carcinogen but rather because women who use skin bleach have less melanin in their skin and thus are more sensitive to cancer causing UV light

I'm not disagreeing with you, but age does hit women harder no matter what. Even if they eat right and workout they'll still never be as hot in their 30s as they were in their teens and 20, while guys like Tom Cruise looked their best in their 30s and 40s..
>>
I'm 20 now. In 30years, we will have the technology and new innovations that will be able to keep us alive for a very long time (for the wealthy). My current issue is making sure I have enough money to afford these procedures once I am old. Think about it, we are advancing in every field at an incredible, exponential rate. There will be ways to replace every organ and heart eventually. If old age is just our bodies degenerating, we will be able to stop it. So no, I'm not worried at all about aging, but death is something I have mixed feelings about.

kate beckinsale looks amazing for her age, for example

She does, but she's past her prime. Look at the Rock, nigga's in his 40s and looks better than he did in his wrestling days. Maturing makes men look better, while fucking up women. That's why girls like older guys, and guys like younger girls.

>>36492356

That's because a mature man who is still in shape is an incredible prospect for a woman and her potential offspring. I mean think about it... What's this dude done to live so long (for a hunter gatherer) and still look so fit and powerful.

Cultivates respect and admiration in younger men too.
Women on the other hand are basically just baby factories. Once that biological purpose has expired they naturally have no reason to stay so attractive because they don't really need to pull in another load of jizz. They're bodies have evolved to pretty much just give up sexually at a certain age.

Everyone is afraid of aging and ultimately death, even if they don't want to admit that - to themselves or to others.
We like to think of ourselves like some special flower, a star of our own show, but there is no such thing.
Life will pass, years will wash you away and your name will be forgotten.
It will all fade back to where it came from.

My advice is to live a little. Once you're on your deathbed there will be plenty regrets. Focus on being the best you can be, be a great man anon.
Think not of something that comes tomorrow, but live for today for time is not your ally.

Genetics (dark skin won't show as much aging), lotion up your entire body every single day, don't go tanning, and most importantly DON'T GET FAT.
