I do not understand why this forum (and RP influencers) automatically assume that the younger guy would always have less money, no job, weaker physique, frame and so on?
Career wise, the 28 y.o. guy might have started working at 18, not wasted time and shown consistency in a single industry or even company, thus having an expert or a junior management role. The 35 y.o. might have changed a lot of jobs, and still searching for the role that best fits him.
Physique wise, the younger guy is statistically at an advantage, since test starts to decline usually after 35.
In regards to women, as I have said earlier, the younger guy might have started at 15-16, been extroverted and social enough, with lots of flings, while the older guy might be an introvert that has had inconsistent results.
And so on. Age alone does not show everything. Regardless of age, skills and competency come only trough experience from facing problems/obstacles.
