Looks is everything

[Pierce Manhammer]

A man in his 20s is certainly not a boy.

The human brain does not reach maturity until 25 years of age and them’s facts. Science is hard.

No hair dye or transplants for me.

I don't dye my hair. I use a shampoo that actually claims to get rid of the grey and for me that really works.

I agree that if you should never let the way you look actually impact your inner state. I still enjoy looking younger and looking fit but my life isn't based around it and if it would change tomorrow I wouldn't shed a tear.

Appearances come and go. For me it's paramount to build your life on a foundation of spirituality and real friendship. That's what really counts in the end.

Is this true? I’ve felt smarter and more developed cause I worked on myself at 18 then when I got the fruits of my labor at 23 and became a degenerate and actually went backwards. I’m back on my **** again and I feel smarter and better than ever

Look at Mike o Hearn

Yes, I’ve been looking at him since 1995, a rare thoroughbred. Lol.

That’s true, though I think it’s reasonable to consider them men.

Ironically the reason most peoples looks start to go as they age is precisely because of this mindset. They think, oh well, everyone gets fat, pudgy, bloated dad bods when they get older, just own it! To me, this is a defeatest mindset, even in the case of balding, won't you at least try? It doesn't have to be this way.

While I admit genetics probably play a large role, there is no reason a man can't be full of vigor, vitality, vibrance, and health into his 40s and 50s. You may not have those flawless youthful good looks, but there's something to be said about an older man's face, it reveals his character, his wisdom, a rugged sense of masculinity they can be even more handsome in some ways. I am actually looking forward to being a silver fox when I'm older.

Pierce Brosnan is almost 50 in this movie! Would bang, no homo.

‘First off, unless you have 1/100,000 god tier genetics, you're incel as fvck around age 40 and beyond.’

Saw this online. A bit of an exaggeration. But basically true.

For every man who falls into that category, how many of them are due to preventable things such as: soy boobs/dad bods, lizard skin, and receding hairlines? I'd guess it's over 50%

See my comment above.

You may not look as aesthetically/objectively attractive, but you may look more masculine/rugged if everything is optimal. In many ways I look better now in my mid 30s than I did in my early 20s and various women can attest to that. I had more "boyish" looks in my 20s but now look more rugged and handsome. If you are losing your looks by your 40s i'd bet it's because you don't take care of your skin. Diet also plays a role of course: refined seed oils, alcohol, and sugar will age you rapidly. All that said, once again I'm not gonna sit here and say genetics/luck aren't involved though.

I would say genetics and good habits both contribute. My Dad is near 90. Has full head of hair, still good looking with minimal wrinkles. good body for his age. His wife is 20 years younger. He exercises daily and eats healthy. If he does any skin-care etc, I’ll never know (he’d never admit it if he did). He was a playboy chadlette when he was younger.

I was talking to a girl recently who insisted 24 was when the brain fully matured. Plot twist. She was 24.

 

[Manure Spherian]

Your vision from the quote above would certainly describe men who let themselves go

I get your whole post. However what I mentioned happens regardless of diet and exercise. I exercise six days per week and my diet is very clean, the way I’ve mostly eaten since my late teens. I dress well and don’t leave my house looking bummy, even for errands. I think a good tip is to dress just a tad above what is expected.

Balding, losing skin tautness (I haven’t experienced this yet), greying and baldness occur even if one doesn’t let himself go.

Again, all else you said I am on board with. I actually feel freer and more confident than I ever was and likely that’s why people like my company. Even up until my late 20s I used to be a little stiff with public speaking. Now I’m fine with it.

Looks are part of the equation and important. But everything? Not even close.

The older you get the more important social proof/influence becomes. I can pull good looking women now much better than I did 10 years ago when I looked more youthful and had bigger muscles. The only time looks trumps it is maybe on OLD.

The concept that the human brain matures at the age of 25 is rooted in neuroscience research which suggests that the brain undergoes a process of maturation and development that continues into the early to mid-20s. Specifically, the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in decision-making, impulse control, and self-regulation, is among the last areas of the brain to fully mature. This process, including the pruning of synapses and the strengthening of connections within the brain, contributes to cognitive and emotional development

Chickens prefer beautiful humans - PubMed

We trained chickens to react to an average human female face but not to an average male face (or vice versa). In a subsequent test, the animals showed preferences for faces consistent with human sexual preferences (obtained from university students). This suggests that human preferences arise...

Well, chicks are hypergamous, so why not chickens as well?

Try just being aesthetic and being the best you can look possibly in the gym and outside. Just try. It’ll attract more women to you than money or status. It will give you confidence, make you happier, give you clearer thinking and make you feel amazing. It is the hack. Idk why I spin my mind with game or even so suave when working on my body and aesthetics has done more for me with girls and life in general than anything else. I’ve noticed when I got fat or slacked off no matter how many times I went out or tried to approach girls they weren’t as warm for me. I also didn’t feel myself. Get in shape.

Looks will only get you through the door. That's it.

Personality and status matters much more.

I consider myself a very good looking guy, in shape and all that. But trust me I was able to land chicks with competition from guys that were much better looking then I was because of personality and game.

Status does not necessarily mean being famous like Leonardo DiCaprio but whether you like it or not in todays world it plays a huge role.

Get your looks right, yes hit the gym I'm all in with that.

But work on your personality, game, wealth and status.

This will attract a bigger range of women.
