I was going to create a thread for this but decided to just post it as a reply on here.
What really frustrates me about life after 30, or even 25, is that none of this will have as much value anymore. In college or high school if you slept with a hot girl, there was value attached to it. You could brag about it, showcase it, have other guys admire you for it, and get some serious status through doing it. After that, it just doesn't have that same value attached to it and I know
@bigneil agrees with me there.
Say all you want about "not seeking validation" and "life is too important for that stuff now" but that is what boosted a player's ego, being acknowledged for his greatness in the game. I hate that after 30, avenues for that don't exist.
Even if I beast at 35, it is so unfulfilling, like being good at a sport at that age, FFS you're playing against aging old dudes.
It is just that being a DJ and playboy have no value attached to them at that age that they did in your teens and college years, or even your early 20s, they just aren't worthy of envy. I want other men to envy me and want to be me because of my success with women but that **** does not exist after 30 or even after 25. It is that magic to the game that is gone as you get older and that is what frustrates me.
