I am 36 years old. Anons, heed me. Never ever ever marry. You're a slave as soon as you do, you just won't realise it right away

>>12441669
37 yo here.
Lived all.
From poor to rich.
From married to divorced.
Was worst bei g married than being poor.
Anyways, I got to keep my money and pay the whore $100 per month for alimony.
I am trully happy since the divorce.
Never again in my life.

How do you plan to spend the later years of life? 60s 70s 80s? Like who will take care when you get old? and are not healthy? Genuine question bcos im not for marriage as well

>>12441720
Sounds like freedom, anon. I envy you, really. I got a kid, not going to walk out on him. Just got to forget about my happiness and keep slaving away

34 year old here. Single father, full custody. She bailed on both of us. I love my little boy and will wagecuck for the rest of my life if I have to to make sure he has a good life.

So many beta faggots married for the sake of it.

You should marry your best friend like I did and have a lifetime of warmth, happiness, laughs and companionship

>>12441805
Good man
>>12441825
That sounds great, but how do you decide who is the top and who is the bottom? Or do you take turns?

>>12441642
36
never married
have had a gf for 1.5 years
investing all my extra money in the stock market
getting 20K passive income a year, will iincrease over time
not sure if I plan on getting married or having kids. seem expensive to me and not something I actually want at the moment

>>12441825
Sounds great in theory but I have a track record of getting friend zoned.

getting a 18-19y.o gf at 31-33 and marrying at 35 sounds like a sweet spot

>>12441863
in that case marrying will probably be even worse 4 u

>>12441784
Take care of yourself faggot.

Is being gay and marrying your bro the ultimate redpill?

>>12441846

Missionary or cowgirl, who cares?

Seriously if anyone is listening to advice from a butthurt brainlet suggesting they never marry is sad.

Obviously if you intend to marry your best friend, keep it small, no point wasting a load of money on a single day.

If she's not your best friend, she's not wife material

>>12441875
I'd have a great marriage with either of the two girls I've fallen the hardest for but I'd also be pussy whipped. Desu, glad life worked out the way it has so far but gets lonely sometimes.

>>12441642
>natty
If I make it off crypto I will buy a few houses live off the rent, probably put the rest into dividend stocks. All women are whores so no gf or wife.

>>12441825
>marry your best friend
this is such a meme

>>12441720
Try $1k a month for child support. I would have gladly taken the kids and no child support from her.

>>12441784
You can still have a girlfriend/boyfriend when you're old. My grandpa had a 75 yo gf after his wife passed out and they lived together. Or you can share space (flatmates) with other people your age so you can support each other when needed.

>>12441921
Just because you've never experienced it before doesn't mean we haven't

Alex I'll take "things that never happened" for 500

>>12441642
31yo, already make 6 figures with no debt and a nice apartment in the city. In 5 years I expect to be richer. maybe a gf but women are succubi and I don't want to get bezo'd (common law state).

I will have held LINK for 10 years and still be saying $1000 EOY even though it's still 50 cents.

I'll have my PhD, finished my year of practicum, and either opening my own practice or finding a job in my field. I'll be good at golf, and in minimal debt. My gf and I will be starting our family (she's 5 years my junior). Really, most of my life is very good, and where I want to be. The top of the market showed me that money isn't actually the goal, and that I enjoy/need the constant forward momentum of meaningful and difficult work toward some greater goal.

>>12441642
37 - happily married and 2 kids. Decent job that pays well and I enjoy it. I honestly didn't expect this as the outcome at 20 yrs old. I figured I'd be dead or retarded. I am only mildly retarded now.

My only advice, if you even give a fuck, would be to fnd a good girl that doesn't have a bunch of dumbass friends whispering in her ear and date for YEARS before any serious committments/moving in and you're set. Don't rush into it. Also, take care of yourself and don't get fat.

Don't waste time trying to find wife material, or the perfect girl, there's no such thing, nobody is perfect.

Also you don't start out as best friends, you become best friends after time passes when you both help each other work on each other, recognise no one is perfect.

I was a procrastinating dick wasting time, but I was smart, she made me realise I was better than what I was executing, now I run a business.

She used to be envious, irrational and expect her mind to be read, helping her understand why helped her get rid of it all and simple communication alleviated so much of it.

She's funny, extremely caring, 10/10 and an incredibly giving person.

People always told me never stick your dick in crazy, fuck them, my wife is stunning and they never bothered their ass to figuring out why and helping then understand and better themselves

>>12441642
>What do you want to have achieved by then

Improving kickboxing
Maintain health thru excellent diet (no carbs at all) and working out
Get better at drifting on my air cooled Porsche
Continue working on building a BMW cafe racer from scratch
Get better at drawing/painting (#1 goal)
Open an art gallery and host parties for elites/politicians
Read books everyday

OP here, thanks for the response.
Even if it turned a bit into an anti-marriage sadfrog and hug fest. Then again, I'm already only coming in girls faces 85% of the time because the redpill shit made me so paranoid about knocking a chick up.

Also, why are most people responding here so old?

>>12441848
>not sure if I plan on getting married or having kids. seem expensive to me and not something I actually want at the moment
I took the "36" number also from the redpill chart which suggests that if you keep /fit/ and climb up any sort of career till then, then it's upwards till that point. I buy into it, because i'm 33 and it has becoming better ever year.

Also, I have many coworkers with kids and they all suggest that you should actually have kids young because it costs a shitton of energy. I reply that to you because if I make a baby or two, I probably shouldn't do it too late when I don't have the capacity or will for it.

>>12441864
I've only been dating in that age range in the last 2 years, but I jump relationships and I'm not sure if I'm honest enough to hold a girl forever.

>>12441878
Seems extremely unnecessary to marry imho, I just brought up "wife" because it's such a standard thing, especially for Americans (I think)

>>12441908
Those shoulders are hardly natty, it's a meme. That said, you can get far. My plan is to be able to at least do casual handstands anytime I feel like it by the age of 40.

>>12442114
I got education, girls and am well off, and I'm still not seeing a point to it. Of course I can optimize to not feel bad or feel worse again, but is that "life"?
I'm desperately searching for projects, connections, and "exits" like emptiness philosophies like the Eastern ones, because at least that looks like a way out of the nihilism - nothing bad, but nothing has a point either.

>>12442121
Whisper what?

I can change my kg's quite easily, but I can't bother stretching and I'm feeling how my back and hip gets more and more glued together :/

>>12441642

I'm 29 now so thats 7 years.

In 7 years I expect to generate enough passive income so that I never need to work with others again.

>>12441825
>friends with women
Never gonna make it.

>>12442198
I like your answer because it's the first more concrete one - did you already formulate and write down your goals somewhere like that?

Regarding keto, I tried fasting for some time and I feel good with it, but usually after a 8h work day I just feel like I need something for energy and so even intermittent fasting is hard to keep up.

>>12442273
I think the "I don't need to work anymore" ideology/goal is a meme - people need to occupy themselves with something and I don't think you want to travel around for 5 years. Or maybe you do.
But in any case, I realize that you just say you don't want to work with others - fair enough.

Saved to my motivation folder, from /fit/ around 2014. I got about 10 of those blatantly homosexual 10/10 torso pics, if it helps to keep the thread alive. I'm really trying to get some perspective

>>12442255
>I took the "36" number also from the redpill chart

Post chart

>>12441642
Down payment on house and fair mortgage rate
Promising career that gives me lots of paid time off, or a self-running business I keep the profits of
A wife roughly at least 4 years younger than me that cooks and loves me
Solid portfolio and roth IRA
It could happen!

>>12442437
The context is assuming a hot girl and a guy who stays healthy and working towards something.

Rollo is okay, I guess. But the whole redpill/pickup/etc. shit got uninteresting as soon as I got chicks and realized sex was meme all along.
Like food, you need when you don't have it, but the enjoyment doesn't go beyond the consumption

>inb4 making love to your friend-gf is bestest sex
Yeah maybe, I donno

>>12442450
I believe in u, anon

>>12441784
i dont think a lot of people take care of their elders besides visiting them every now and then

but you gotta be ready to carry the weight that you know you will end your line

>>12442477
>that sharp drop after 36
I'm turning 35 in march. Fuck me

>>12442515
It's not that sharp.
If anything, I disagree with the chart in that I don't think a 36yo's womans appeal already went almost to zero by then.

31, 32 soon. If all goes well, then I'll have graduated college finally and working in a capacity with income that finally goes above my ATH of $14,000. Preferably 30k min and going up.

Most important, have my mental health in much better state and finally love and believe in myself like so many of my friends and family do.

Also, top shelf guys can marry, and certainly date, 30 years down in some cases

>>12442601
>30k min
Per year in India or per month on wall street? huh?

women actually peak at 18 in desirability according to newer studies that analyze dating apps (of course younger but legally they couldn't say younger). i don't have a link to the source so take it with a pinch of salt though.

>>12441642

All I want is to feel like I've accomplished something personally worth accomplishing.

>I'm currently 36

Fuck.

>>12442255
>whisper what?
Wesk minded women that are easily influenced by dumbfuck friends making up their mind for them. I've watch a few friend's of mine run into this bullshit.
>"oh, you can do so much better, anon!"
>"you need to ditch his ass and find someone that can really take care of you!"
Obviously, that wasn't exactly how it went down, but in both cases they were married, seemingly happily, and I guess out of boredom or whatever they decided the grass was greener.
The last I checked, my one friend's cunt ex(they have 4 yo twins btw) was banging her boss, then got shitcanned and was basically just collecting allimony and unemployment.
My other friend's ex was just a total bitch from the start, but her friends basically justified her cheating as normal.
Both friends are from childhood and are legit good people.

>>12442655
Per year in US. Mental Health issues have kept my schooling and working to a minimum. Hoping for much more, but I'll be doing a entry level job by 34.

Had I not had said issues, then I would have completed my IS and IA degrees by 23 and making at least 60k starting.

>>12442790
You don't need a source to prove that. Everyone knows it's true. For women it's pretty much downhill after 20 in most cases.

>>12442790
You have to be 18 to use dating apps

>>12441642
retired or working part time
large property, guns, dogs
good at drawing
making children with young breeder gf

I'm thinking I could pull it off for less than $5k per month. If I don't make it with crypto it'll be the same minus the children.

It's around 21. At 21 they reach their peak estrogen values and have the right mixture of freshness and expressed bodily features. They might be tighter and fresher at 18 but oftentimes their bodies have not yet reached the optimum fat allocation.
