What happens to guys who peak in their 20s and never do anything?

They just get fat, marry someone else that’s fat. Then squirt out some kids .

They get their kicks early and then get bored and tired of it all just as fast and get a cushy job and marry a former sorority girl. I’ve noticed men who partied a lot in hs and college tend to settle down and let go of themselves faster since they don’t feel they missed out and are tired from constant partying

I’m one of them and I know several. Getting lots of pussy effortlessly really blunts your ambition and gives you a gross sense of entitlement that works in the adolescent world but it is completely ineffective post-college. If you don’t have a white collar career, 60k+ salary, and don’t live in a major metro coastal city, your life will be very mediocre. Despite knowing this, I have no motivation to accomplish any of it. I just don’t care.

I’m not getting married or having kids btw lol. I’m mgtow x100

IMO the optimal situation for a young man is they become consumed by a passion or purpose, they actualize it, and then everything else is an inevitable side effect (recognition, status, pussy) without that being the driving force of their pursuits.

Don’t compartmentalize other people too much, because then you’re gonna start compartmentalizing yourself too.

They go into sales and drink themselves to death by their 50s, and then their kids are the next generation of quarterbacks and cheerleaders. The world needs lots of stupid pretty people to chew up and spit out.

You're overthinking it. Could be a thousand things. I would generally caution against being complacent. Being clever and energetic might get you status when you're 23, but you need to develop real substance to hold value when you get older.

This is a good question but I think you are off on what might happen. If they were legit socially adjusted "alpha" types they will lead normal lives, with normal jobs.. I think Noodlesoupe2 assessment is true also.. But if they got it in early, they get bored of game and cash out with a decent chick.. Most of the guys I know who fit that dynamic are working jobs like postal service, fedex/ups, cop, fireman, trucker, might have a business, etc. All in management or something similar. They end up working their way up and making decent money.. You would be surprised.

The only time I can think of it not happening, drugs/alcohol use is involved or something traumatic like military or loss of family or something. That can knock those guys down like anybody in a bad way. I wouldnt overthink it and worry about some fantasy revenge, just focus on you and your journey. Continue to grow and develop, get a Purpo$e that you can focus on and finance the type of lifestyle you want.

Prob get married plateau at making $65k in some white collar field. Mortgage a house they can’t afford, buy cars they can’t afford, pop out a kid or two, get fat, stay fat, get divorced ect. Then wander over to TRP or MGTOW. American dream

Excessive sugar consumption leads to obesity and lack of drive. Then they get hit with being too comfortable in a relationship and not having to stay attractive.

Doesn’t matter too much. The answers you get from these questions are generalizations anyway. The best thing you can do is focus on your own achievements. After college, life really hits you fucking hard! Prepare yourself because life will beat you down no matter what path you choose.

Build physical, mental toughness And learn emotional resilience

Being "Alpha" doesn't mean you will have a good happy life. It's just certain character and personality traits.

You need to be conscious about what you're doing and the decisions you're taking in life, this will make or break you.

btrpb · 2020-12-24T19:11:12+00:00

I remember one of the "alphas" at school. Had everything, good at sports, best trainers, hot girls.

Worked in a pub, got fat, became an alcoholic, died of liver failure at 21. That was 22 years ago.

You definitely don't want to peak too soon...

exegol24 · 2020-12-25T00:39:47+00:00

They end up as the entertaining 40/50 year old guys with great stories who still drink and talk about younger women. But they don't have much; just a humorous personality and they might be cool to hang out with. Probably get fat and out of shape too.

I believe Morgan Freeman became a famous actor at nearly 50 years old.... Relax
