      Youngsters wear Birkenstocks with socks in France.

      Yes and it’s quite popular (age group like 16-20 I guess) possibly the summers footwear.

      I kid you not.

        Nope. Reminding you of thid absolutely golden Twitter moment

        The absolutely insane amount of cope the comment section starts spitting out is almost hilarious, implying that “women are lying” even.

          I mean as a guy I think the dude looks easily 100x better in the “before” pic. I don’t know who this dude is at all, but that before pic is already a perfectly comfortable, healthy-looking body. Before looks approachable and friendly, while still healthy. After looks high-effort and very motivated; that’s a lot for some people. A lot of people want somebody they can relax on the couch with popcorn with, not somebody who is gonna wake up every 6am to go running.

      Oh bless your heart.

      You realize that.a young woman who is even mildly attractive can pretty well have her pick of men her own age. She dont want no tubby dude 20 years older, wearing clothes from Costco and driving around in a Subaru crosstrek.

      Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.

        Older dudes can absolutely get younger girls. However, they are mostly going to fall into 2 categories. Serious emotional/psychological issues. Or looking for a sugar daddy without as much stigma.

        If you are in great shape, have a good personality and a good job, then at 40 you can still pull girls in their 20s without to much trouble. If you let yourself go, and have nothing to show for your age then it will be a lot harder.

        The better question is why would you want to? What would you even talk to them about?

          Can confirm. However, something happens in your mid 40s, I think the third growth stage of humans. In the space of about a year I went from beautiful 20 something women actively engaging with me, to suddenly something like primal visceral disgust instead.

          Sort of like how they reacted when I was in my 20s. Which is why I was completely unprepared for that tiny window of opportunity.

          Penis emerged unscathed.

        Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it’s called Invisible Woman Syndrome.

        Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let’s not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.

          Honestly I don’t see them complaining nor are they pretending that it’s uniquely male. I just don’t see any words to support that. Do you think you might be reading a bit too much into it?

            Nope. Just reading with basic comprehension:

            Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.

            The context of which was that women don’t experience this because OP was making the claim that young women can ‘have their pick of men’ when ever they want.

          I switched from the Sam’s Club 30 minutes away because I was tired of getting Walmart grade crap to a Costco 50 minutes away. Prices are a little higher, quality seems not quite as much higher and when we do the math, the savings over just going to Target or whatever aren’t always there
