I've met a few guys on this forum who, until now, I never knew were in or around their 30's or even 40's. It's the way you hold yourself.

I've got a non PUA friend who is about the same age as me (26), but looks like he's 40 because he doesn't look after himself, and because he doesn't hold himself well.

On the other hand, I got ID'd for the lottery the other day, and I don't think I've ever not been ID'd when I'm in a pub.

Men age much better than woman - that is a fact.

It's also a non-issue, as evidenced by all the above posts.

Much love,

I'm 37 with virtually no experience of the pick up game. I have a few mental barriers admittedly but age isn't one of them.

No ... I'm old, just the wrong side of 45. I nailed half a dozen or so birds more that 20 years younger - if you did that in your 30s youd be arrested

Well I'm coming up for 31 and I've got a number of natural attributes that I didn't have when I was younger. For one I'm much less reactive to things, I have maturity on my side so I don't try to be anyone's dancing monkey & thus don't give off that neediness vibe.

That's just me, others may be different, but I imagine these are general traits that come with age?

And that's just the mental attitude side of things. Whilst I'm not looking for a gold-digger (she'd be out of luck with me anyways!), I do have my own house, nice car etc and I think a certain level of prosperity can be a factor.

My dad is 56 and his bird is twenty years younger than him. They've been together quite a few years. She is two years older than I.

Age not only means nothing, it can be a boon to your game if you're older. A lot of women - younger women - have a thing for older men. I firmly believe this is something to do with the way they relate to their fathers. We're talking deep Freudian shit here.

Not even just younger women. I'm 45, and had a relationship with a woman five years younger than me who looked about 25. She liked to call me 'daddy'. Revealing, if not also slightly creepy.

When I was in my mid-thirties, I dated a girl for a couple of years who was only 19 when I met her. She'd confessed to me she had a crush on me. She turned out to be crazy, but it was nice while it lasted.

Age is a boon, not a barrier. Younger women know older men tend to be more stable in terms of their personalities. Most often, they've sorted their shit out and grown up in a way a lot of us haven't really, even by our early thirties.
