Damn right, guys.

ChaosTheory2332 · 2019-11-19T01:50:43+00:00

Thanks man. I'm having a hard time deciding what my next step in life is going to be. I really needed that today.

_MCMXCVI_ · 2019-11-19T02:48:05+00:00

23 year old here, have bipolar disorder and depression, I really needed to hear this today. Lately I've been wanting to give up so bad, but I have to keep reminding myself that im still practically a child Lol.

paul_G1 · 2019-11-19T04:01:13+00:00

30 is young .

40 is young.

50 is peak.... If you do it right

The Rock , Brad Pitt, Jackman, Clooney, Stamos, Gianluca Vacchi, Jamie foxx, Eric Bana, Jason Statham and so on all in their 50s ...

Get that age shit out of your mind. It's self defeating. You only get better.

Take care of yourself, train, look and feel good. Dress sharp. Do whatever it is that makes you happy Time is kind to us. Own it.

meridaville · 2019-11-19T02:53:58+00:00

At 34, I always felt like a loser for not doing more in my life. Thank you for this post, I needed it.

Crankshaft1337 · 2019-11-19T04:14:47+00:00

At 31 I left the Marines I thought my peak was past. At 36 i graduated college at 38 I made 100k/year for first time. At 40 loads of income I am in shape. If I stand next to other 40 year olds they look fucking ancient. Never married no kids live in Denver tech Center and I think I will start a stream on twitch. Never been happier.

Take care of your body and your mind will follow realize we all go through shit times and depression its how you recover that matters. Never accept defeat.

MatterhornNightLord · 2019-11-19T01:58:01+00:00

Thanks for posting this man

analogic-microwave · 2019-11-19T03:21:09+00:00

I can relate to that. At the young age of 50+ I am the happiest I have ever been in my life.

gtowerthrowaway · 2019-11-19T06:51:32+00:00

I didn't go to university until 35.

I didn't touch iron until 42.

I didn't reach 100k income until 46.

He's 100% right. Life is just beginning, guys.

Go your own way and there's no limit to your potential.

Keltharious · 2019-11-19T04:49:57+00:00

This is why I love this community. No shame, no pressure going at another pace, just camaraderie among those that don't bend the knee in this toxic environment of societal norms today. Not a safe space, but a place of brotherly love.

RealToasted · 2019-11-19T02:00:13+00:00

God damn, good for this guy. He doesn't even look close to 52.

banned_by_cucks · 2019-11-19T04:52:38+00:00

Make you future self love your past self guys.

Practice minimalism, eating well, getting sufficient sleep (8-9 hours), and investing the majority of your income. It will pay in more than dividends when you're older. The earlier you start, the greater the rewards you bear.

roscoedangle · 2019-11-19T04:35:58+00:00

I've been working out at home since I kicked my ex out, I finally signed back up at the Muay Thai gym and my employer put me in charge of the guys I'm working with. This is gonna be a great end of 2019 and an even better 2020!

arokosi · 2019-11-19T08:40:46+00:00

Never listen to women’s life advice, gentlemen. My female friends often call me “old” as an insult (not as a compliment). But it doesn’t sting at all once you realize that it’s just them projecting their own insecurities onto us.

Men tend to age like wine, women like milk. A woman my age is getting old. A man my age is a boy with facial hair.

There are exceptions, but by and large, a man is a tree of slow growth. We reach puberty later; we peak in income later; we are the late-blooming side of the species.

If you give up on yourself, you will merely grow old. If you keep investing your time and money well, you will mature into someone and something amazing — wise, wealthy and distinguished.

Human male value is more social than it is biological. This makes it open-ended. Infinite in potential. You can’t measure it with a clock. Men add value through knowledge, skill, wit, wisdom, experience, perspicacity.

Men are made by their conscious choices, not by nature. It’s not a question of being fresh or stale like fruit or bread — that’s women’s role, because they tend to offer nothing but their bodies.

Think of all the women you’re fond of and try to think of them without their attractive bodies. They’re not even the same person. Now think of the men in your life but with different bodies — your relationships are basically the exact same.

So keep learning and/or earning. Your best years are ahead of you.

kevisazombie · 2019-11-19T03:56:38+00:00

I would just like to leave similar inspiration that Rodney Dangerfield didn't get his big break until he was in his late 40s and then lived an exceptional life into his 80's

analogic-microwave · 2019-11-19T05:21:12+00:00

As a 25, almost 26 yo, unemployed, ungraduated balding virgin that never worked in his life, that is really comforting. No irony.

Dustin_Bromain · 2019-11-19T03:25:58+00:00

This helps me significantly

bbhuntt · 2019-11-19T07:05:12+00:00

I’m ready to throw the towel in at 27. I had such big dreams and goals as a kid; to end up where I am now is discouraging. If I told myself 10 years ago where I would be in a decade I would’ve been beyond upset. I guess I still have time though.

kayfab · 2019-11-19T08:25:01+00:00

I am 47 and i though the same at 30 i went into depression because i was getting old, hahha old at 30.

I still train and am in better shape then most people 20 to 25y younger then me, and now at 47 since i went my own way my life has never been happier.

siriusisness · 2019-11-19T06:26:04+00:00

guy's lying to himself if he thinks his athletic peak was at 43...

yeerk72 · 2019-11-19T05:20:51+00:00

Great post like everyone has said. I wish this subreddit focused more on this type of attitude rather than woman bashing.

r8001 · 2019-11-19T07:39:56+00:00

Normally I hate these inspirational bullshit posts, but this one hits too close to home. I'm also in a way better shape and happier right now, at almost 40, than I was at 20. And I'm only planning to improve from here on out.

pak-da-kid · 2019-11-19T03:41:18+00:00

I just had this thought since I’m about to be 30 in les than a month I thought I should give everything up but this helped

mavranel · 2019-11-19T05:19:58+00:00

Still under 30. I needed this.

lampshade757 · 2019-11-19T06:37:47+00:00

Man, this gives me hope. Just turned 41 and I'm really struggling.

flightrescue1 · 2019-11-19T07:20:03+00:00

I just turned 40 and have been having a hard time feeling like my prime has whizzed by and my life is half over with the good half being behind me. I have so much I need and want to do but have been feeling too old to do anything. Like it’s too late. I needed to see this. Not that the key was just some random meme that makes sense and that dumb little meme changed my life, but it’s a good message that I needed to see. Thanks bro.

__2st__ · 2019-11-19T11:09:01+00:00

im 40. the past 5 years have been a nightmare.
lost my woman, my 15 years old dog, my job and a friend.
so fucking depressed and isolated for so long.
just today i found out ill start a part-time job in a couple of weeks.
im thinking about getting a van, some proper gear, and stayin in woods for a while, only to come back in the city to work.
there i might pick up writing or painting again. or maybe try something new.
the point is life finally seems to give me an opportinity to pick up the pieces and start building again.
for myself only this time.
peace brothers

AmNotReel · 2019-11-19T13:25:23+00:00

This helps, a great post to make us self-reflect.

Heres my reflection.

I'm 26, got the good job, got the first rental property, finishing the masters, no girlfriend (willingly & thankfully), and I still feel so behind & its frustrating.

Its funny / ironic, that when I was in middle-school, I was the bottom of the pack. I felt as if all the cool kids and bullies already had it made ( at 13 y/o lol). I'm much further than many of them and my hunger to grow as an individual has still not peaked.

I could stand to shave off 10lbs though..

2019-11-19T10:15:35+00:00

I needed this. Was feeling old at 27 years old.

mgtow_rules · 2019-11-19T13:55:15+00:00

Sounds like a guy that got divorced at 41 and discovered MGTOW at 42. Save 20+ years and go to MGTOW, do not pass marriage, do not collect divorce rape.

jacketguy · 2019-11-19T03:29:59+00:00

podcasts are barely ten years old tho

BullTopia · 2019-11-19T04:02:42+00:00

There is a chapter in "Think and Grow Rich" that talks about this.

2019-11-19T04:27:44+00:00

Needed that, thanks man.

jeffreywolfe · 2019-11-19T04:27:50+00:00

As someone who doesn't feel depressed or anything, this is still really very encouraging to read. Keep on keeping on, lads.

allamerican48 · 2019-11-19T04:54:28+00:00

Needed this. Ive been in a dark spot and have nobody to talk to, glad to know this reddit

For men life begins at 50 for women it ends at 50

RottenMudguts · 2019-11-19T08:25:18+00:00

Needed to hear this....I'm 3 weeks off 40 and seriously considering major life changes at the moment.

MrMagtow · 2019-11-19T08:42:21+00:00

At 30, I thought my life was over.

It was. The life you saw through a child's eyes. Biology is the ruler of us all.

Dam right. I am 53 and life has never been better. I struggled for so many years. Buckled down on the 401K. Kept spending low. I am at the top...and will be for the rest f my life

VagabondLonewolf · 2019-11-19T11:24:35+00:00

You would not believe at 30. I am trying boxing for the 1st time.

lilgamer040 · 2019-11-19T12:56:01+00:00

I read his name and expected never gonna give you up...

D3ltaV1ctor · 2019-11-19T13:38:55+00:00

He probably forgot to say that he got divorced at 42...

Remainselusive · 2019-11-19T17:41:03+00:00

Stay sober and give up porn. Each day you will be stronger than the last.

I'm 30 with chronic illnesses, and this hits me hard.

You're gonna be just fine bro, believe this

I turn 45 on Thursday. Thanks for the inspiration!

Rekhyt_19 · 2019-11-19T07:39:49+00:00

Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn

tbmepm · 2019-11-19T08:14:02+00:00

That's pretty depressing.

Briguy28 · 2019-11-19T10:21:35+00:00

I needed this so much. Thank you.

IkemenKyoushi23 · 2019-11-19T11:34:48+00:00

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks.

DoctorMartain · 2019-11-19T11:54:00+00:00

Wow , what a powerful message. I needed to read this today.

banana_phone1979 · 2019-11-19T14:49:28+00:00

I needed this!

BlackHandiqueer · 2019-11-19T14:56:57+00:00

30 now, that hit home.

TigPlaze · 2019-11-19T15:47:52+00:00

This is great. Thank you so much.

Jesus christ I'm 14. Have no idea what i'm gonna do with my life.

SSGTTANK · 2019-11-19T16:55:27+00:00

Honestly I really needed to see this today, I turned 30 recently and I feel like a massive loser and that my life might as well be over. This, this gives me hope.

ransay3277 · 2019-11-19T18:05:18+00:00

Old guy here... Thanks for your post. Show these guys here the best is yet to come.

ZigZagProton · 2019-11-19T18:23:13+00:00

Yep and this situation will only apply to men, for women if you are still lost at 30s, your life is certainly over. This is One of the few benefits men have and it’s a great one, men really age like fine wine.

Count_Morrel · 2019-11-19T19:15:01+00:00

Keep going!

rakeshgupta1 · 2019-11-19T19:46:06+00:00

It speaks volumes to a medicine student

TheCesar14 · 2019-11-19T20:40:50+00:00

I don't think I'll make it to 52

ZeroViBrittania · 2019-11-19T21:20:11+00:00

Let's hope young men dont commit suicide. The best thing right now is not commit to a woman so suicide wont happen in the first place

Jarin01 · 2019-11-19T23:01:44+00:00

In his book, "Think and Grow Rich," Napoleon Hill points out that most men who become wealthy don't do so before around age 40. This is in his words because before that time a mans sex drive is so strong that he can't properly focus on anything but women. But once a man gets close to middle age not only does he have a lot more experience in life but his desire for sex decreases, allowing him to focus on other things.

I have seen this the last few years in my own life. While I am still very attracted to women and enjoy having sex, my mind isn't constantly consumed with the mindless desire to breed. In the last two years I have made greater strides towards achieving the wealth I have always wanted then I made in the previous 20.

For a women her mid 30's might be the end, but for a man it is the starting line.

sir_robert007 · 2019-11-19T23:09:27+00:00

Going through a period of severe depression and unmotivation right now. Needed to see this. Thank you

FighterForFreedom · 2019-11-20T00:16:41+00:00

Needed this. I'm 31, soon to be 32 and my life over the last 5-6 years hasn't been very kind to me. On the contrary, I've gone through some very hard times.

ThereIsAlwaysVanilla · 2019-11-20T03:45:05+00:00

This is golden. We need to stay gold no matter how old we get.

cezariobirbiglio · 2019-12-02T04:01:20+00:00

My 20's were really rough at times but things evened out because I realized I couldn't ever stop working on myself. A lot of the things I worried about were inconsequential and I had to learn how to deal with it in a healthy way. Physically & mentally it lead to feeling better day to day. We all live our lives to some sort of idea of what we think it should be and working on yourself will benefit you however you go about your life.

Red19120 · 2019-12-12T12:29:21+00:00

I need it that!

crzyguychris · 2019-11-19T04:00:49+00:00
