Disregard the retards.
30s is pretty gud. After ten years of acting on your hedonistic whims during your 20s it's an exciting step to take up responsibilities for yourself and others. It's time to give your life more purpose and etch out a path of your own. Also, if you played your cards right, you actually have some wealth and life experience to take on the world in a manner that suits you.

some things get better, some things get worse. it depends on what you value and what you worked towards. if you worked hard in your 20's, you're probably going to have a good job, lots of money, savings, social status, whatever you worked for. if you wife up a girl you could have kids, a comfy house in the suburbs, nice family life. if you're smart, you can do both.

I fucked up and went too hard on work shit in my youth. I never settled down, or really even dated all that much. dating in your 30's is an absolute fucking nightmare. the women your age are fat and gross with 5 kids from 3 dads. you can go after younger girls, but the majority of them just want to be your sugar baby or sell you their premium snap.

I'm tall, /fit/, no receding hairline, just paid off my house, fat savings, high-status job, 11k link, probably going to retire in a few years - and I haven't been on a real date in almost a decade. I'm not even ugly, I'm just not a turbochad. And that's what it takes now to get the attention of any girl who's not complete trash.

what I'm trying to say is, if you think you might want marriage and kids, solve that while you're young. you probably won't get a chance to deal with that as you get older.

It's different for some people. If you are the extroverted normie Chad who takes pleasure in going out then probably not. If you're a shut in autist nerd then it does get better for the most part. I hated my 20s, I was awkward and felt lost. The hedonistic shit did nothing for me and I didn't fit in with the normies, early 20s felt like I was still in high school but without the innocence. I also became more confident with my physical appearance, baby faced in early 20s isn't attractive to girls, only became attractive in my mid to late 20s with the maturing combined with working out, went from very shy to very confident, other factors like accumulating resources and being smarter when making choices etc. Words like mature, wisdom and experience may seem like cope but in my case I really do appreciate the more boring state of the 30s and I finally found my place in the world and feel in control.

30 yo boomer here.

I'm hoping to get my license to do fee appraising for residential real estate this year with the ultimate goal of going into commercial where I can make serious money. Ever since I bought my townhouse, I've become a shut in and can't be assed to get out other than taking my dog out to the walks or the park. Thankfully I'm tall, relatively fit, and attractive enough where I can still get dates off tinder, Bumble, etc. which is the only time I'll ever go out socially. Otherwise, I stay inside, watch some footy, hang out with my dog, and get shit faced watching redbar. I've come to the conclusion no matter what happens, I'm stuck in my ways and have no interest in changing any time soon. Even when LINK truly moons and I'm able to quit wagecucking, I'm still going to do the same shit. The only real luxury item I'd buy would a power rack, free weights and dumbells so I wouldn't have to leave the house to go to the gym n making me even more recluse.

the point is that if you pay for the sex directly, all you get is some time with a literal sex doll/sex robot with the additional perks of potential STDs

Fucking shloots is nice but think of the negatives like STDs, drama and mental drain. Then again your gf might have low sex drive but will be less likely to cheat on you. Plus creating a family is the ultimate purpose. We men (and wahmen) keep waiting for the perfect mate, for the next better prospect etc, thinking that the next lay will always be better but thats just not the truth.

40 year old oldfag here. Let's compare notes.
>hair falls out
Haven't lost a hair. Mom's dad (where the balding gene comes from) died at 82 with a full head of hair.
>gut gets bigger
Best shape of my life, honestly.
>less and less tolerance of dealing with peoples bullshit
Yeah definitely have less time for bullshit.
>bank account gets fat but money is litearlly a meme because theres nothing worthwhile buying anymore (RIP vidya, movies, music)
Agreed, but now I spend on car restoration and vacations, stuff like that.
>random aches and pains start creeping up
My knees and lower back hurt for no reason. Also yeah just weird aches. Sucks.
>low energy
Energy is about half what it used to be. I'm always down for a nap.
>feel more retarded by the day, less capable of learning new things
100% agreement, unfortunately. I have a technical job and I used to be able to learn new technologies just by fucking around with them, now I need weeks of repetition to get to the same level of understanding.

Pretty much.


Life only gets better in your 30s if your life was fucking shit in your 20s.

It's like saying that you can get fitter/healthier/stronger than ever in your 50's or whatever... yea, but only if you were a horrendously unfit piece of shit right up to then.

Everyone knows life is downhill in terms of potential from about 17.


There are countless mistakes we make in our 20s that totally fuck up our 30s. I have my own, but yours will be different. It's POSSIBLE that with great upbringing, a lot of luck, and GOOD GENETICS (crucial) you will age nicely and 30s are like a wealthier version of 20s. For the majority, it's the beginning of old age.

Honestly, you need to get a better job first. Try to learn a trade or skill that can at least get you to $15/hr. Your state might have a program to help people without college degrees to get free community college. Avoid a four year university unless you have a strong career plan, like STEM.

Also start walking and follow a meal plan and diet. If you can afford a cheap gym like planet fitness then go.

Anyone here bragging about money and banging women are secretly sad and will remain secretly sad. They’re one tragedy and setback away from falling apart. They fear death, and I’m sure they shutter when they turn on the news.

Take the spiritual path, anon. You will not escape suffering. You will not escape death. But you can detach from the material world. Nothing wrong with trying to remain comfortable in the Earth matrix, but there is far more beyond this planet. You will realize simple, altruistic living is the best path to take. More money, more problems. To make that money you need to time to undesirable people in undesirable settings. There is a reason why it’s dominated by psychopaths.

Do what makes you happy. People who claim they got dumber and fatter live and eat like stupid animals. Take care of your body, mind and spirit. Marry a good woman, pussy chasing is fucking dumb, and I’m in all honesty a good looking guy.

Just be yourself and pursue your passions. Take time to learn about and nurture your spiritual nature.

for actual boomers, I think it was true. for 30 year old boomers, it probably depends a lot on where you live. for my city, it's absolutely not possible to get a girl in her 20's without paying for it. there's tons of sugar babies. I think sex is in the cards if you just want to fuck a slut and get lucky (you're going to have to be fit and have expensive clothes, and ideally an expensive car. you can't just be a normal guy and expect to pull this off). but if you want a real relationship, your choices are fat used up roasties who want you to pay for their kids, or nothing at all.

FUck me laziness is the toughest one to overcome. As for children, most parents I have met in my life suffer from low energy and low sex drive. Children drain your energy.

Only looking forward to my 30's because of my LINK stack. If I can find a waifu that looks like pic related, my life would be 10/10. Right now mid 20's.

You get better, stronger mentally but your body starts to noticeably degrade. I've gone through a few things and I've noticed that I'm not necessarily more courageous or powerful but I'm far more aware of my limitations and what I can do, what's possible. More importantly you identify what should or has to be done and because of your age you tend to fuck about less. By your 30's you've crossed enough thresholds and answered enough calls that mountains look like molehills.

The real answer is this: you’re either moving forward or backward in life. If you aren’t moving forward by say reading or taking initiative socially and professionally, learning, you are probably moving backwards. There is no ”neutral gear” and that’s the greatest untold key to success.

Analyze your path and where you are headed, look at the microdecisions you make and see how they impact your life.

This thread can be answered in brief by concluding that while there are externalities and variables at play which you can’t effect (genetics, certain events occurring at certain times), there is a lot you can do to make your life continuosly more fulfilling. Fulfilment is the key to welbeing. Success is a social construct ehile true fulfilment can only be felt from within.

this. You can't control everything, but by taking responsibility for as much as you can, you find that in fact more things that you thought you had no effect over start going your way. it's a "make your own luck" type of sentiment.
Happiness is found in the journey, the continual improvement, the building & hard work of making it, rather than the actual destination.

That's a complicated question. i'm guessing you've got the basic hierarchy of needs but now need the rest. Usually you find your interests while fulfilling your basic needs. Probably be best to start again.

Well my 20s were basically just drugs. I made a lot of money from my web dev stuff, but i spent it on drugs. I was generally an insecure faggot and everyone took advantage of that. After almost a decade I decided to change. Still have a long way to go, but at least I know what's what now. Hear that a lot among 30 year olds, some weird enlightenment thing. That or you just realize everything is shit like a lot of ppl itt. I guess i am lucky...

Finding the good people is a numbers game - get a job or education - money gives you options to do things & school puts you in a situation with people with similar interests. (not im not suggesting getting a stupid sized loan for a psyc degree. be smart about it, consider trade school etc.)
Join a gym, go regularly. Especially late at night (assuming its 24 hours), you start to see the same people at the same time. ask someone for advice, or to spot you or whatever & make casual chit chat.
don't pick up gaming or watching netflix as an interest, theyre antisocial and fry your dopamine receptors.
work on yourself, build up confidence so you can just throw yourself out there

Hit the gym or start a physical activity. Keep doing it despite your mind finding excuses. Your body can take a lot of damage at your age. If you are comfortable with it, start a physical activity that will allow you to meet people, like rock climbing or a team sport. You can do it anon
