Yes, you're going to see them at the gym. Or on the trails. Guys on PEDs or TRT isn't the norm. Women also are fine with "dad bods" so there's basically no need if attracting females is your goal. If you are relatively tall and have a job, that's really all you need.
I've been approached at gyms - as long as you're not 60+ and can strike up a conversation about working out, it's fine. Sadly I'm in my mid-40s but keep getting creeped on by senior citizens, which is a big no for me.
I’m not saying they don’t exist I’m saying it’s hilariously untrue that there are record numbers of men in their 40s in the best shape of their life.
I agree; that’s what I was saying.
Everyone here has confirmation bias bc the people on this thread are fitness-oriented. The average person is still not in shape and obese, and those numbers are always increasing.
