How to age well?

As a person who in the last year has suddenly shown signs of aging (turned 29 last week) I can tell you, you need sleep, water, and PROPER nutrition.

It’s simple, but not easy.

Being attractive is a byproduct of doing the basics consistently, and consistency is the key. Remember that no growth ever happens inside a comfort zone. Everyone that buys exercise stuff off tv are looking for that “One thing” they can do to get skinny and attractive, but they’re ignoring the basics and doing those consistently.

One other thing that can affect this is the people you hang out with. “You’re the product of the 5 people that you spend the most time with”. If You want to be healthy but you hang around people that are not healthy or have the same goals as you, you will be pulled more in their direction.

Body - Good workout routine, mostly weights with some intense cardio weekly.

Hair - nizoral 5% shampoo or a generic Ketoconazole shampoo. Prevents DHT buildup

Skin - use sunblock whenever in the sun and a good moisturiser.

Teeth - avoid sugar, brush when possible and floss. Cheaper than dental work.

Stress - reduce stress at all costs. This may mean you need to go into work on the weekend to reduce stressful buildups of work. I’ve made a routine of going in saturday mornings when everyones messing around sleeping.

I'm only 25, but here are some tips I've heard:

Consistent skin care routine: wash, exfoliate, moisturize daily plus SPF lotion to prevent sun damage
Partying: drinking and smoking ages people fast
Obviously proper nutrition and exercise, keep it consistent
7+ hours of deep sleep
Combat stress: constant worrying can increase facial tension, wrinkles
Keep hairline strong: Nizoral shampoo, Rogaine, or Finasteride

In short, I feel like maintaining a youthful appearance has a lot to do with genetics. Some people just don't age well, but taking care of yourself in common sense ways can keep you looking young longer. It's also worth mentioning that men tend to get more attractive with age, peaking around 35-40 (but that's of course subjective).

Good specific advice here. As a 40 year old let me tell you: keep lifting and eating well and you'll age like a fine wine. As for the hair, you'll just have to work with what you've got, unless you've got the money and narcissism for plugs or some shit.

By not getting set in habits. Be prepared for change. Children are like rubber and can shapeshift into any environment.

if you believe you are unattractive, you will be.. nothing is more unattractive than an insecure guy that can't fathom people like him. It's also downgrading to other people's attraction to you

Lift, eat clean, don’t smoke, do not drink too much alcohol, stay the fuck out of the sun.

Alcohol, cigarettes smoking, and sun damage will show up when you get older.

Oh, and as you get older, stay the fuck away from women your own age.
