If you can avoid looking bloated past age 25 ppl will think of you as being "fit"

[The Chillosopher]

So sad, but true. Based on observation, I would say that by around the age of 25, as long as you are not either deathly skinny or have the bloated look that so many people do, people will call you "fit" or "in shape".

The hardest time to look impressive, is between the ages of like 16-23, after that, so many people go downhill so fast that you can easily have an impressive physique with little effort.

What's even better is that a lot of the people who are fit as adults are the cardio type though (i.e. skinny runners) so if you lift seriously as an adult you will be considered a rarity.

Contrary to popular belief, it's actually easier to appear as if you are in great shape as you get older because:

1) There's less expectations put on you
2) There's way less competition, so you stand out easily with little effort.

Even if you give up lifting at some point in your life, as long as you maintain a healthy weight, you'll be considered fit.

so what your saying is, at 25 its time to tech up

[Dpezy]

so what your saying is, at 23 its time to tech up

[Barbarian440]

I better tech up soon. I'm getting bloated.

I just stopped drinking.

[TheFassbender]

Pics of the bloated look?

[2dfruit]

very true. And if you lift even 3 times a week, people will think you're obsessed with exercise.

[AngryVirgin]

fukin unoriginal ****s ^^^

[wayne53]

I'm 24 and what is this.

[CommonPheasant]

A lifetime of junk food and excess alcohol catches up with most people by then.

[namechange]

I'd say this is pretty true...I'm starting to notice that everyone around my age is starting to bald/get fat/get pregnant/get sloppy looking real fast...

[Dpezy]

Even the guys are getting pregnant?

[sknot1454]

I've noticed this as well.

After 25 or so is when guys start letting go and getting sloppy.

So, you figure 75% of the male population looks all saggy and busted. Women see this and start thinking this is the average. The sack of mush they wouldn't touch at 18-22 now looks OK because everyone else looks like ****. The guy who takes a little time with his fitness, but still looks like ****, looks 10x better compared to everyone else the girl is looking at.

Now, if you are 25+ and still look shredded/built as fuark, the possibilities are endless. Even if your face is less than a 7-10, you'll still pull 7+ sloots.

Even if you don't make 10k/day, you'll still pull 7+ ass.

Even if you are beta as ****, you'll still pull 7+ ass.

I'm 27 and I'm in pretty good shape. Casuals think I look incredible. Feelsgoodman.jpg

Agreed. I would say you don't even have to lift tbh. If you have any size it's just a bonus.

[Tornach]

Come to the UK *******s nobody lifts here!

[R.Mutt]

Easy Street from here on out! Allllllriiiiiiiight

[styken]

It's true. Around mid to late 20's all my friends started getting disgusting and dumpy.
People at your workplace start to notice you are in good shape, comment about it, but then hold it against you, or try to always talk about pseudo health like fad diets, and when you start talking about nutrition & excercise, it turns into resentment.

The real popular culture is to be lazy and out of shape, regardless of what the media says. People are definitely NOT getting healthier. They are just spending alot more money on Zumba classes and Organic waffles.

[Large_Emu]

so what your saying is, at birth its time to tech up

[deaman]

very true. And if you lift even 3 times a week, people will think you're obsessed with exercise.

This. Go to the gym and leave feeling average/below average.

Go to office the next day and people think you are the hulk. Even though I workout 3-4 days a week I completely down play it at work "oh, maybe workout once in a while." So many emasculated shells of men in offices, beaten down by the daily grind and their home lives.

it turns into resentment.

Misery loves company.

[Usuibro]

As a 25 year old I'm starting to confirm this.

[RaibeartBruis]

I agree 100%. Before age 25, value is placed on being big and muscular. After 25, it's more impressive (in the eyes of others) to just be lean. I've noticed this countless times. If you're 40 and still rocking a healthy weight, you're going to be quite a catch.

[thatGuyyy]

Its because during your mid twenties you start getting more responsibilities. You begin to settle down, pay bills, have kids etc. People get worn out by the daily grind and lifting is not their top priority anymore. Also the older you get, career and status matters a lot more than physical appearance. Not to mention your metabolism slows down a lot around that age.

I would say people still rank health as one of their top priorities...they just don't really want to do anything that's proactive for it though.

[SpiderSense]

People are lazy and you're body won't stay looking young on it's own forever.

[veikejas]

[soloki]

So what you're saying is to stop crying and fist myself?

This is why I lift. I felt myself becoming one at one time. I could tell it was a downward spiral of snacking at work due to boredom, eating sandwiches every day and generally living a sedentary life style.

[PlayTheGameBRAH]

OP do people care as much about looks at that age?

Or more so during 16-24?
