Is there a wall for men?

Yes. It's called "Death"

Ask Hugh Hefner.

Men don't really have a "wall" so much as the road they're waking on runs parallel to a cliff with no railing.

Stop working out? Lose your job? Get injured? Do anything to look worse, be less successful, be weak and needy, or otherwise suck at life? You're off the cliff. Climb back up again.

If you're still a badass at 50, you still get laid. You won't find yourself in a serious relationship with many 19 year olds if you tell them your age, but unlike women, your pussy carousel ride can continue for a good bit longer.

It's not really a wall. You hit a peak and decline but the metaphor of a sudden age where you're kicked out of the SMP over the course of a year, or at least made a second class citizen, just doesn't apply.

No. Men age like whiskey. They get better with age. In terms of personality. There's not necessarily a "wall" for men like there is for women. A woman's body and appearance are pretty much all she's got. Men are sought after by women for different reasons, as I'm sure you know.

If there is it is well beyond 40.

Chuck Norris is 75 and Sylvester Stallone and Arnie are 68.

Though these are the outliers, I'd say there really isn't a wall for men.

Not in the same sense as a woman. Men don't inflate their SMV and don't quite get "baby fever" quite like women do, but a man will go past his prime one day. Depending on how well they take care of themselves, they can hit their prime during their 50s and, in some rare circumstances, go further beyond. At the same time, a man can potentially hit his prime during his senior year in high school.

I believe the wall for men is more akin to circumstance rather than biology since we measure our SMV on more than just our looks and our fertility.

Unless you are in the top 5-10% or so then absolutely yes. This goes against TRP but people pretty much date within a few years of their own age. Very few 35 year olds are going to be pulling 18 year olds. Not that it doesn't happen but it's much less common.

Especially thanks to Viagra and TRT.

I'm 46 and will happily point out that I'm going out with our 21 yo babysitter tonight.

Wall? I don't see any signs of it yet.

I was going to say when your dick retires, but then I remembered Viagra and TRT.

Not the same way there isn't.

My grandad died at 90,banging 30 year Olds. Not a single one got a cent.

Why? He was still cutting down and splitting trees on his property until 80 something. He still walked to get groceries, he took a world cruise every year, he is from a family of mad money, he was alpha as holy fuck.

My dad is the same though married, my mom taught me a third of my rp upbringing and she's more brutal than my grandad was.

I'm following their footsteps.

"the world is mine. It just doesn't know that yet"

Stay in shape. Succeed. Make stacks. Set boundaries. Call bullshit. Always improve. Staying the same is losing, anything less than pushing yourself is losing. Settling is losing.

The male wall is to stop improving yourself before death. The female wall is biological only.

I'm surprised that no one said it.women from 16 to 26 prefer older men so it should be our "wall". Women hit their wall at 30 because men in their 30s prefer women in their early 20s.

So men actually quit the wall.

cmiovino · 2015-08-07T12:33:32+00:00

Men don't have a wall because our value it's 90% based on our looks. Sure, it is somewhat based on looks, but if you lift and eat right, you should be in the top 20% rather easily past 35.

Women hit the wall because roughly 90% of their value is base on their physical looks. This inevitably declines around age 30, give or take.

Ironically, men seem to increase in value because our SMV is based on things like income, wealth, status, experiences, wisdom, etc... all of which increase with age.
