Fitness in your 30s 101?
Curious what major changes yall made in your 30s around the gym. Major things I have noticed is obviously fat doesn’t burn off as easily, form REALLY matters and stretching+rest means more. However, for those in their 30s curious what changes yall made to stay injury free and continuing to progress?

@Dan Smith I may need to look at my T more. I do get a yearly physical for regular things like liver functions, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc but would be good to track too.

@Matthew Brixey I definitely believe that. Even now, I can’t ego lift like at 18-21 without risking soreness/aches and if heavy enough, injury risk.

The resolution and background looks great in the first one, though I think the closeness on the last 4 is better because you can see your face more.
Poll: Friendzoning girls on Tinder
When matching with a ‘normal’ appearing woman on a dating app (ie no visible tattoos, wears a dress, healthy BMI etc) do you go with an invite opener funneling her to the friendzone, or do you show intent with discretion. I have had success both ways, though I’ve only showed hints of intent ie ‘Mode 1.5’ when she messages me first. ➡️We all agree that dating apps are vanishingly low ROI compared to Instagram. Still, given the following assumptions, the poll question could still be relevant: Like many of you handsome gents, I have a consistently satisfactory match rate with ‘normal’ women using apps, and a modest yet surprisingly nonzero success rate thereafter. For me this proves to be an ever so slightly positive ROI for the negligible amount of time I spend multitasking on Tinder while sitting on the throne. If nothing else, I prefer it to doomscrolling. I do not endorse or recommend using dating apps.

Imo, it depends on your current realities and priorities: If struggling with dating, I’d say intent with discretion all the way since you need that initial success to both be confident and also not be thirsty. Mike talks about how the guys coming back from a 2-year deployment can’t friendzone hot girls, same is true for a struggling guy imo. If successful (in a good LTR with mutual attraction or consistent dates) and goal is building social circle and the long game, I’d say friendzoning works. In that case, your body language and demeanor will be legit vs the above where she will smell the hidden agenda. Though I agree with a comment above that apps are not ideal for friendzoning since many don’t go for that vs if you met irl during the day or an event.
Learned Behavior
Tell me this… if the natural hypergamy of women is to choose the best mate and that translates to most women choosing the narcissist toxic assholes over “good guys” then explain how that fits into this study? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPOa_H7Em09/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== I think that women choosing the bad boy asshole is more of a learned behavior as Inuits choose the best hunters not the lazy hot guys that beat them… 100 years ago women valued good men and would stay away from players to avoid the social pressure of being labeled as used… But the invention of tv changed the socialization of girls from growing up watching the other women in their small town choose good men (the majority) to watching players and asshole get hyped up on tv and that has spread to become the societal normative… Serious non black pill question: is this hypergamous behavior or f girls going for the homeless hot male strippers and the drug dealing hamster rappers a learned behavior or a genetic propensity of hypergamy? Not saying hypergamy isn’t genetic but was hypergamy and social proof used to change social normatives of women?

I’d say two things are at play here: -People organically like being around good people. -People like being around attractive people, specially for dating. Growing up, I’d always be told I was a good smart guy, but women picked the frat player. Initially, I thought they liked his bad boy vibes (that they complained about). I ignored the obvious: They typically were also tall, handsome, fit, good logistics/parties at the frat house. Looking back, women TOLERATED his behavior because the attraction was that high. Not just women, let’s keep it real here, most guys would likely overlook a lot of bs if given the chance with a bonafide 9/10 (gorgeous face + banging body). Similarly, many women tolerate bad behavior from Chads/high status men (ex. D1 ballplayer). That’s why trying to emulate a bad boy won’t help much (beyond having a spine), focus on maxing out SMV.
Retard Maxing
Have you ever seen someone that is borderline retarded have a confusing level of success in life? Or seen someone that is highly competent stuck in a hamster wheel of “thinking about their next move”… In business I am a full blown retard and will take immediate action on opportunities and figure things out as I go, worrying about perfection down the line. However my past partners have been stuck in indecision halting any progress from taking place while people with less funding and even less brain cells see success and beat us to market with inferior products… This is my number one pet peeve when it comes to doing business with anyone is their ability to take risks and make shit happen with no guarantee of an outcome and without full understanding of every aspect of an opportunity. In my personal life I am the opposite, I spent 2 years going through the book list for MOA (adding about 10 more books and hundreds of hours of other videos from Owen cook, Tai Lopez, etc) I only recently started taking action on my IG while building a highly selective list with a VA I trained to make lists organized by location over the last few years. I started this course before this was a skool server (discord) and my biggest regret is that I didn’t take action on my IG sooner… Had I applied my blind retard faith to doing the steps and figuring out all the details later I’d be a lot closer to my goals… What experiences have you guys had with competence max vs retard maxing?

I think it’s a mixture. For instance, in business if you are exceptionally good, it may actually make more sense to be very risk-taking since you’ll have the talent to milk the upside and mitigate downside. It goes downhill faster if you have no underlying talent. Datingwise, I have seen that typically work with Chads or high status guys. If women find them attractive, they’ll write off a faux pass as “I love how he is not afraid to be silly with me” and when it lands you’ll be the man who goes after what he wants (within reason). However, imo if they find you unattractive, you largely don’t get the same passes. I think of it like this: Ronaldo is talented enough where trying to dribble past 3 and score makes sense many times, the average player should pass and move.
