Quarter life crisis: What life advice would you give to a 25 year old guy?

Great question. Im inthe same boat, but the question should be broader then just partying. Do you really, honestly want kids in the future? Then you should look into it as soon as you got your shit together with the best possible RP woman you can get your hands on. Maybe you shouldn't be thinking about silly shit like an acting career and maybe you should start hunting for the best RPW. Get a good job with career prospects and a good place to live. Do you have expensive hobbies? Do your spending now while you realistically can afford it IMO.

Or i could just give you the regular RP dose: Get money, fuck bitches.

Typical scarcity beliefs.

You've missed out on all the good times in the past because you had a negative attitude, negative beliefs, as part of a scarcity mentality.

That's because the opportunity to have a good time is right now, anywhere you're standing. You don't need to show up to a party to do that. All you need is a positive, abundance mentality.

With the regularity of these '20's-itis posts' it sounds more and more like men do have a WALL, and it is exactly the same as a womans.

40 year old men don't start new careers?? 70 year old men don't talk about 10 different careers they tried??
Most businessmen are not starting to reap the benefits in later life? etc etc?

The term late bloomer is not common and known?

Is everything in life your 20's ? maybe i am jaded.

You've got to ask yourself the question what exactly are you FOMO on? Is it the partying environment or is it women? I hope it's the latter because trust me if you improve yourself in every aspect you possibly can women will come. If it is the partying you want then go and party! It seems you're too concerned with what others think and this is handicapping you from truly experiencing life the way that you want to.

The best advice I can give you is to really focus on a career or some sort of income stream. Ideally you need to have your own place and focus on improving yourself. Once you have your shit together focus on having a IDGAF mentality and an impenetrable frame and ofcourse lift because that's where the confidence will come - women will follow!

Don't worry about getting old when you're just 25, this is the time where you'll attract the 18-25's age range of women, this is perfect because this is where women peak superficially, besides women typically prefer someone older than them anyway.

I'm 26 going on 27 and I feel like 25 was my last year as a boy . My advice is to get to know yourself . To really sit down think and focus on what direction you will take your life . We are still young enough to pivot and change direction but old enough that if you are in your chosen career you can start making solid strides and begin building your empire.

For me 25 until mid 26 had me changing my career focus, looking for better paying jobs that fit better with my vision of life, Had me focusing to lose weight and begin working for a bette r body , and eventually I came her to TRP and began increasing my knowledge of my sex life .

Instead of focusing on doing everything this year I would suggest formulating a plan . This year should be about setting a foundation and trying new things. Yes explore new social experiences, Yes if you see new opportunities reach out and grab them . Yes begin starting to layout the blueprints for what you want your future to be . You are going to make a plan and it WILL change but having a basic outline will help a lot in helping you keep your eye on the prize .

You have a somewhat fatalistic vision of what 25 is or should be . It's a year that will help usher in the rest of your life but you still have another 20+ years until your mid-life crisis . What you do now will affect what you look like in those 20+ years but you can't make a lifetimes worth of decisions in one day . Just embrace life one day at a time and as long as you have that basic map visualizing what you are forming your life into you ill be golden .

It's all in your head. Do whatever the fuck you want.

The idea that 25 is an ending point and you are going to miss out is legitimate and I understand. I went through the same at 25. But just grind through it and at the end you'll see better results.

I'm 42 and can tell you that my 30s were better than my 20s. Were they different? Yes. I had more disposable income. But while I didn't party, I led an interesting life with hobbies like backpacking, mountain biking, I took up rugby... You're not missing out on the old. You're now in the midst of redefining yourself. You're entering a new stage.

Now I'm in my 40s I'm currently doing that myself. I was an adrenaline junky in my youth, but the body can only take so much the older you get. I now am slowing down and looking at traveling and getting involved in volunteer activities and more active in my community.

Life is stages and moving forward, not end game with nowhere to go.

You really need to get the thought out of your head that going past 25 (and into your thirties) is when shit starts going downhill. That can't be farther from the truth. 30's is when all the work in your early 20's culminates into you being amazing in your 30's. I advise someone like you to put in the ground work in their career, body, and financial status now and keep chugging along. You have your whole life ahead of you. Drop this shitty mentality.

A quarter-life crisis? Give me a break. So you woke up one day and realized you're older than you used to be. There is no crisis. Go live your life, man.
