It’s brutal to me. I’m 28. Even if only illogically, I didn’t have a chance at any age.

But experience wise 16 or younger. I’m so short. 1.62m/5’4” as a German. I’m white but that doesn’t help. You also can’t tell my age (I could be 16-24) or that I’m even a man, due to my height, many missing facial bones and head shape, proportions make me look uncanny.

It’s just so weird, to think I’m almost THIRTY (30!). In 10 years I’m 38, if I make it till then that is, and 10 years ago I was 18.

Age coupled with inexperience is brutal.

25.5 year olds can reply to if you want

Agepill is most brutal, it reminds you there's no escape from inceldom.
 
I don't really notice a difference other than the number increasing
 
just turned 20 man i miss my teenage years life was easy, cant even imagine turning 30 soon

I know dude, when I was 17 I fucking didn’t want to turn 18 because then I was a “grown up.” Now I see 18 year olds as… kids?

Funnily enough nobody in school even knew I turned 18 :feelsbadman: while others of course have parties or go eat with their gf
 
I think there are few stuff:
You're no longer that young man people despise solely because of his appearance, you’re starting to be seen as true waste. The ''potential of youth'' , which used to make people hold back when silently predicting your future compared to theirs, is gone.
You’re beginning to feel the first effects of aging, even baldness for some.
You notice your sexual needs have slightly diminished (though not the frustration), but the need for love remains and mainly increased.
Years of isolation and depression have deeply affected your entire being, even your body.
Rage gives way to melancholy, and you sigh more than you scream.
The horizon of possibilities has drastically narrowed, and among the few remaining options, suicide often seems the most satisfying.

A small positive point : facing your destiny might give you a final boost to try one last time, hoping for a stroke of luck before ultimately sinking into suicide or the madness of a loveless, enslaved life. :feelsbadman:

That’s a very deep, thoughtful reply man :feelsbadman:
 
Thanks bro, hope it gets better for you, if you wanna talk more on discord just reach out to me anytime mang :feelsaww:
Thanks bro, hope the same for you and I will :feelsaww:
 
It doesn't feel real tbh. in my mind I'm still 15-18 and it's still the mid 2010s. Things that I view as happening at few months ago actually took place years ago and things I view as happening just a few years ago happened almost a decade ago. I've accepted that my future will be poverty thanks to never having a real job since I spent my first few working years as helping out occasionally at the family business then when the job market was destroyed thanks to the covid mandates I decided to try getting on neetbux which took about two years and that keeps me from ever being able to save up or make much money even assuming I could get a job with my lack of connections and work history.

Despite all that I'm still feeling more like a fakecel than I did years ago thanks to weightloss, being normal looking, and a lack of opportunities for the reality of the dating market to crush my hopes of reproduction and force the blackpill down my throat again(I'd try online dating again but local demographics mean that it's hard to find women of my own race and I'd probably encounter more trannies than white women so I'm reluctant to give it another shot).

The depression waves get shorter, I just care less and less.

What's your height? And where are you from? It all depends.

well its devastating because i am also german and german society is kinda compeitive right?
And I have essentially nothing going on, no finished apprenticeship and so on.
I managed to get diagnosed with autism and get neetbux and other shit.
But whats brutal is that the social worker I interact with are literally fresh out of university, shes has to be either my age or younger lmao. Idk
I thought I would be dead at this point, so thats something.
 
btw how did you find this forum? so many fucking germans here lmao, is there like a german to incels.is pipeline i dont know about? :lul: :lul: :lul:

I don’t even remember haha. I searched “can’t find gf because of my looks” or something like that and then sometime through many „Umwege“ I found the forum. Isn’t the actually „German” term for it „Absolute Beginners“? Or smth like that

 
It’s alright man. I remember panicking about similar things in the past. Like for example turning 20 from 19 and no longer being a teenager, or nearing 30. After a while you just kind of forget about it and focus more on what you’re doing with your life. Although tbh I don’t have a whole lot to say on that front either, so I just distract myself with time-wasting things in my free time.
 
I just turned 31 and I've kind of made peace with it.

I would hate to be 20 right now. When I was 20 Tinder didn't even exist, most of the discourse online was about Pick Up-artistry and hypergamy wasn't as obvious, there was still a sense that average guys could get average women. So I got to live in ignorant bliss from 20-24 maybe when the redpill took over and then eventually the blackpill. It wasn't such a rude awakening for me, more of a natural progression, a slow unraveling. Guys who are 20 today had their rude awakening when they were like 17 and had access to so much information from the jump. I think that's been more of a shock to the system than it was for us.

On the flipside though, you youngsters are equpied with the truth much earlier and don't have to live in delusion.

I appreciate your sentiment.

I’m 28 soon, so maybe you’re talking to other users?

However for me it would be a much better cope were I 24-25 or something. I could cope better. I even if it’s a lie. But to me it just feels brutal especially with my looks and height.

Yeah sorry, I was meant to respond to the guy who said he was 20.

Yep. I sometimes wonder how people can ever muster bitterness at all towards women and laugh after realizing we allow actual teenagers on this site
 
I think leaving my teens, still being a friendless khhv was more brutal than now, approaching 30 in the same position.

I guess I'm just used to it, and discovering this community, and the black pill in general has given me some answers as to why my life turned out to be what it is.

I'm 27 years old. Life is over, but I don't care anymore. I'm going to suffer terrible looks on the street forever. I'm a walking joke. It's pretty brutal, but I live for the copes.
 
Im at my early 20´s and I also see 18 year olds as complete kids my mind change so much I hope to live to be 28 but I highly doubt it at this point and time,do you have any advice for me? on what to do with this 5-6 years I have before 28?
 
its over bro

never gonna succeed with women. my parents will be dead in 5-10 years too. 15 if Im lucky. so Im gonna have to rot
 
im 25 and i guess i stilll have hope if i hustle hard and moneymaxx and looksmaxx if i get 35 without any goals being achived im :feelsrope:
 
I'm 25 and 30 doesn't sound that bad. 35-40 is where you start to look middle aged and the age where you really should have a family started.

Over for me then.
 
I'm 29 and I don't even think about the age
 
I hate it, i'm going to be 27 in july. I should've had more at this age
 
I'm in my mid 30s

as time goes on, I feel less and less. Being far removed from the constant everyday mogging of high school and college is very helpful

Interesting. That's good for you at least. I had to go to a store today with my mum because of very big discounts, it was packed. Beside other people looking at me weirdly, there was this blonde chad employee aged around 18-22, he also gave me many strange looks and stares. He probably has a hot gf. Others joked about me. I felt irritated and sad, even if such things happen every time I go outside.

What I'm saying is, I'm seen as lesser by everyone, and see how they all look at that chad vs. me
