What is too old for college?

[spongebob]

Im talking about Europe. The Netherlands specific. What if you go to college to the capital university. Not some backward village uni. Serious answers.
If you take care, are softmaxxed and NT maxxed. From what age are you simply too old?

The goal is to take part of the social life and not be considered a weird grandpa or pedo that socialises with younger people.

So you're never too old for education, but are too old for the social aspect?

Starting college anything over 20 is kinda old for me

How old are you?
Some people change careers or have certain things in life they need to figure out first.
Illness, burnout, family problems, financials. Anything is possible.
I think it's better to start college late than never. You're literally upgrading your potential.

The window of opportunities in life is very short, if you’re 25+, you won’t experience the social aspect of college, that’s way it’s very important to take your chances in life

When I was untill 25, I was a bit of a retard. Now at 25+ I can make much more use of the time and opportunities handed to me.
People give me 3-4 years less. I guess that saves me somewhat. I know people of 19 who look 28.

If you want to go to college, you should. You should do in life whatever you want, nobody will live your life for you and life doesn’t and at 25, enjoy it!

When the female students avoid eye contact with you and the males treat you like their professors.

As soon as your skin doesn't blend in with the "fresh from hs crowd." Don't cope about this. For as long as your skin is healthy and wrinkle free.

I have JBs still thirsting after me. Same for teachers. Some 19 yo very attractive (white) curry chick showed lots of IOIs.

I think this is key. Some girl from my class has horrible skin. Saggy eyelids. She looks so old even thought nothing's wrong with her.
I ruined my skin through partying every weekend for the past half year. Also my diet sucks ass. Need to take care of it for 3 momths to return to baseline.

Gonna skinmax for the upcoming half year I guess.

Thinking that "wrinkle-free" skin is all you need to look young is cope. Your anatomy also needs to look young. Sadly, this changes much earlier than getting wrinkles, so you won't fool anyone.

Yeah I know. I watched WAW6 too. Limbal rings and fat pads or something along those lines.

What do you know that I don't. What can you tell me?

It's a big part of looking young in my mind. Guys don't realise how quickly wrinkles come in like how they might not realise that they are balding. Consequences of being bluepilled jfl. Wrinkles are caused by the natural recomposition of the skin that comes with aging. It happens earlier in some people and later in others.

In summary, you're supposed to link from hs to college and be good-looking to get that life where you fuck new young women every month and go partying and all that shit which guys crave up and down the looks spectrum. Waiting five years might push your skin over the line. I'm not bluepilled. Of course its unfair.

There are other factors besides being young and good-looking.

For example, ND (neuordivergence) can interfere with the life of even the Chadiest Chad, because it doesn't only affect your personality, it can also affect your appearance and your senses.

Intermittent bloating (which distorts and discolors your face) often goes hand-in-hand with neurodivergence. This can make your appearance intermittently revolting.

ND also can cockblock you by making you very sensitive to touch, smells, and even sights (visual stimuli). That's not very conducive to having a healthy sex life.

(fun fact: I suffer from all these ailments)


Not to beat a dead horse, but being wrinkle-free is only part of the equation. If I had my choice between having a youthful anatomy and having no wrinkles, I'd choose the former.

Take a 20-year-old and add wrinkles to him and he'll look like a young man with wrinkles. But take a 40 year-old and make his skin perfectly smooth and he'll still look like an older man with good skin.


Wholeheartedly agree, assuming you were born good-looking and NT and without developmental disorders or issues growing up. If everything is in order, chances are you'll do all the right things at the right time, and this includes going to college right after HS and reaching all the milestones of life when you're supposed to. Going to college later is often a sign of dysfunction.

Skin and hair are the main things, some more insidious parts of aging are fat pad loss (this one is brutal), bone loss (happens much later in life though) and loss of neotenous features (can be a good thing)

 

[Lookologist003]

For example, ND

The topic is age, Part-Time Chad. Though I do not disagree.

youthful anatomy

This was what I wanted you to explain. What do you mean by it? It sounds particular and above what I name in my post and what Soter then hinted at. So what is it that you mean?

i dont truly believe you are ever too old.

But social dynamics definitely start becoming weird once you're 30+

You know how you're able to tell how old someone is even if you're standing 50 feet away from him and looking at the back of his head, without even seeing his face?

Your brain is able to distinguish an old person from a young one in this case by evaluating his general anatomy (shape and proportions of his body and skull), not by his skin or minor features. A person's general anatomy (for lack of a better word) is what tips people off about age more than anything else.

Ah, so skin and hair. Hair or lack thereof. The texture of the hair changes along with its colour. The texture of hair reveals more than you expect. Testosterone affects the structure of hair as somebody who tried HRT can confess @thecel. Skin and hair are closely related and are the first parts (well, maybe behind limbal rings) that signal the time of day in your life.

general anatomy (shape and proportions of his body and skull),

We already noted in this thread the radial degradation of the orbits and what happens to the jaw of elders. My point was that skin and hair degenerate much before the skeleton of your body. Unless you can be more specific or defer to something or a thread, I haven't learned anything or been convinced.

not by his skin or minor features.

Skin is not a minor feature.

@Win200 got many compliments on his skin. Win is in his forties yet looks to be a decade younger than that. How can this be if "general anatomy" changes drastically enough in age to where you can see it through the botox Win treats his skin with?

Can you be that specific. Is the idea so clear in your head that you can explain it with words?

No. You could have perfect "skin and hair" and still look old, even from behind. The 'general anatomy' I'm referring to includes your tendons, ligaments, muscles and their shape and relation to each other (and likely other things I'm not even aware of) in addition to just the bones. These all distort as you age. So, "hair and skin" isn't going to save you from looking old.

Skin is not a minor feature.

I'm not saying that skin isn't important. It can enhance the look of youth provided other aspects of your appearance look young.

The main reason this guy looks youthful is because of his anatomy. Look at it closely. It hasn't distorted yet. His skin only enhances the illusion of youth.

Now that's a claim. Interesting how you know. Interesting enough for a thread, but I see none of it.

I'm not convinced, but I am engaged. What I know is connective tissue of ligaments and tendons made from collagen, so weakening or mutation of them as the result of lowered prevalence of collagen is an idea. But if this were true, why would the skin not always wrinkle before it, ie. all young skin belongs to youthful general anatomy? If it's muscle, then working out should make you look younger or stretching should.

Basically your point is that people wrinkle from the inside out? JFL.

(The part we know about are fat pads, which shrink and then sag. We know that. But the rest of this spiel is chancy.)

If you do make the thread, do tag me. I mean no bad will. Looksmax is at its best when its discussing looks theory.

So, "hair and skin" isn't going to save you from looking old.

Hair and skin isn't going to save you from being old. Imagine talking to twenty year olds today about what life was like in 2000. They'll be like "don't care unc" and then will go back to playing Fortnite battle pass while scrolling TikTok for you page.

The main reason this guy looks youthful is because of his anatomy. Look at it closely. It hasn't distorted yet.

My head canon is that his skin is good and botox appointments are on my radar.

Again, my point is that you don't notice people's skin or hair from a far distance. You notice their general anatomy. That's what mainly tips you off about their age. I'm pretty old myself, but I have no lines or wrinkles. Excellent skin and a head of thick hair, but that doesn't stop people from treating me like an old person. Funny how that works.
