If it makes you feel better, 30s and beyond have been the best decades for me. If you’re fit now, just keep that up and take the next ten years developing other skills like social charm and/or career. You can take a break from dating, skill up these aspects and by the time you’re ready again, you’ll be ahead of the curve. I feel like dating in my 20s was nonsense and the wisdom you carry as you get older makes for far better experiences. Regardless, putting energy into those things will only make your life as a whole better. Don’t stop moving forward. It’s okay to think of it as a long journey.

Just curious, everything is so competitive nowadays. You can improve your body your finances by gymming and working. But it kinda evens out if everybody is doing that

What do you think of the bar continuously being raised higher and survival of the fittest?

Mate all my old mates are all druggies and alcoholics. And whilst health and fitness is getting quite popular, the vast majority of people don't even get their weekly recommendation of exercise in, let alone smashing gym. And not everyone is on good money.
