What's the point of saying life before 25 sucks?

It seems like the posts I make about that topic, even though they receive a ton of upvotes and I get lots of thank you PMs, always have those few people that get worked up over them so I will explain this in great detail.

Because a lot of the rewards you get for life before 25, you didn't earn yourself and a lot of your failures aren't completely on you.

Who are the top 20% men before that age?

Fraternity guys in reputable fraternities, athletes, and guys with wealthy parents in general. It's good that you want to work hard and be that top 20% guy but you won't reap the benefits of it at that age. The frat bro who parties hard will get 10x more girls than you and hotter girls than you because he has status. A lot of your hard work isn't paying off yet and for a vast majority of guys that don't come from rich families, life before 25 is a massive struggle.

You're dealing with all sorts of outside influences, especially if you had overbearing parents and are trying to become independent.

It's not that working hard and having drive is pointless, it's just that you aren't reaping the rewards of your hard work yet. A lot of the rewards are going to rich fraternity guys and athletes, not you.

Now stop being a whiny little bitch, go back to working hard, and come back when you have had success.

TRP is right on many things, but one of the things it is wrong about is the need to rely on yourself and only yourself. I rushed a fraternity in college and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

Now I read TRP and it's like "Fuck those frat guys who fuck 50 girls a week and their parents pay their dues and spring break. Once you hit 25, YOU will be the one laughing."

That entire mentality is BP and just bitch attitude. I am in a fraternity but I have to pay everything for myself. I commute to school. I bust my ass in school for a 4.0 GPA. I work on the weekends and work my internship during the week. On paper, it "sucks", but I am having the time of my life.

Life is what you make of it, regardless of your age. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you continue to work hard everyday, every day will be better than the last.
