Many dudes on here idealize and base their goals around photos like this
But the reality is, if this guy walked into a public venue full of stacies (let alone jbs) and went up and started talking to them, he would get odd looks and ignored. Because their thought process would be 'what is this older man doing talking to random people?'. Even though he looks "good" and the psl ratios are there, he can no longer initiate interactions with strangers really (who dont already know who he is ofc).
The WINDOW TO INITIATE is actually much smaller than you may imagine. Pretty much only within your window of youth 16-24 are you societally excused to freely interact with the pool of also available people. AND you of course must look amazing during this time too. Once you cross about 24, people start having kids and forming families, and suddenly a guy who's out on a world adventure charming randoms is looked at as weird.
After 30 you can essentially only leverage your status networks (from whatever you've expectedly built by then) to maybe meet new women. You can be the most looksmaxxed 35 year old ever, but you're essentially just a caged tiger, under the labels of "family man"/"authority figure"/"provider" at that point. This guy can no longer step into any park, restaurant, party, club, travel destination etc and just interact with whoever's there.
