I know a dude who is 51, has a business and isn't doing too bad even after his wife fucking raped him financially. She divorced him taking half his shit, then he had to pay for her to live somewhere and go to Harvard or whatever other school is expensive as fuck. Lives by himself, goes out on the weekends, works because he wants to, and brings back almost any girl he wants. The dude takes care of himself by eating well, working out and taking suppliments. Still looks like he's in his later 30s/early 40s.

The one thing I've noticed is he's lonely. Invests a lot into people through many means be it financial or his time and I think it's to compensate for the lack of family. Poor guy would rather love a woman but they just want to be taken in turns instead.

Read. Male SMV peaks in their 30's as long as you don't think Dadbods are cool.

That's what it's like for me, never married at 52. Lots of hobbies, an airline job that can be poisonous to marriages but pays well and opens up vast travel and lifestyle opportunities, no one to answer to.

As best I can tell, the sex problem is no worse than it is for a married man. Infrequent duty sex with a woman who has completely let herself go, versus rare opportunities with those who have aged despite their best efforts. Nothing special, either way.

I suppose if I rearranged my lifestyle enough I could still do alright with younger women, but I don't think I'd be happy that way. Truth of the matter is that after 30 or so, the sex drive no longer rules your world. I'm alright with that.

From what I've seen as long as youre attractive and interesting you'll be fine. You can always find like minded people to engage with. If you work, have hobbies, friends, and see women, you shouldn't have much time filling your calendar socially. It can be easy to end up like you said in your last sentence, but that's easily avoidable.

So I'm 32, been single for a few years now...I have a great career that I started back when I was 20, even opened up my own business for a short stint in my late 20's. I travel a lot for my job and for personal leisure. I hate the gym so I do yoga 3-5 times a week at a local studio where i live.

Dating, well I don't date much. When i do its for a long time because I wait to find a good woman, thats worth it.So I have a lot of sex with women that I wouldn't date but are fun enough. Usually via online apps like Tinder and Bumble. I have a few plates I rotate as well.

To be honest I don't see much insentive to be in a relationship at the moment. I can sometimes meet up with 2-3 different girls a week from these apps for just a drink, have sex with one or two of them over a course of a month or just hook up with one of my plates. Being in a management position at work takes up a lot of energy and time so I don't want to deal with bullshit on my personal time.

All n all it's a pretty great life. I think it's gotten better after 30. Just have to make sure you take care of your body.
