【Philosophy】Why do middle-aged men only get bigger around the stomach? The way they gain weight kind of makes them look like snowmen. Their thinning hair makes it even more noticeable.

Same goes for middle-aged women who’ve let themselves go.
Why do humans grow old in such an ugly way?
How do you come to terms with aging?

There are things that become more enjoyable as you get older.
I was never popular with women, so thanks to this club, I’m now dating beautiful women who wouldn’t have given me the time of day when I was younger. I’m enjoying it immensely.
Of course, I understand that money is involved and make sure I don’t get the wrong idea. I’m also genuinely grateful to the women who choose to see me.
As you get older, the gap between you and handsome guys gets smaller（笑）. If you keep yourself clean and maintain your figure, there are even cases where you can turn the tables on the handsome guy who was popular back in school at a class reunion.
Growing older doesn’t necessarily mean becoming unattractive.

Did an older woman steal your generous papa from you?
If you keep using such filthy language, your face will become ugly.
You must have been dumped by your papa because your face, body, and mind are all ugly.
I’m in my late 30s, but I’m beautiful. Got a problem with that?

Is “Do people become unattractive as they age?” supposed to be philosophy?
Are you making fun of philosophy, or are you just not very bright…?
It’s only natural for something to become unattractive once it’s been worn out. It all depends on whether the person using it treats it carefully.
Personally, my hair isn’t thinning, and I don’t have much of a belly either.
I hope you’ll do your best not to give up on being a woman. Personally, though, I don’t like women who aren’t very bright…

Even as you get older, it’s better to become someone who’s more attractive with age. Life is long, after all…
Compared with the old saying that life lasts only 50 years, the years after reaching adulthood can be just as long—or even longer.

It’s a matter of metabolism—more science than philosophy.

Ah, you mean whether accepting aging is philosophy?
I feel like I’ve been aging pretty well so far, so I’ve been able to accept it without fighting it. I’m in my late forties, by the way.

Even if your weight doesn’t change, your abdominal cavity can’t keep bearing the weight of your organs forever, so everything gradually settles lower under gravity. It’s not philosophy—just physics.
We’re all going to die someday, so if you’re having fun, you win. No regrets.

Aging is an inevitable and equal challenge for everyone. How you face it—and how much effort you put in—definitely makes a difference.
I used to think high school girls had an unbeatable image, but apparently middle school girls have taken their place now lol. I laughed when I saw high school girls feeling intimidated by middle school reader models lol.
If all you can do is assert dominance based on the order you were born in, you might be giving up on being a woman a little too soon. Not that I really care, but good luck.

What’s with this condescending way of writing about someone?
And turning it into a question so it won’t get deleted, while keeping it from becoming too long...
But—
but you know,
I do delete things when I need to. (Laughs)
I won’t delete this one, though.
And if the questioner is lucky, you’ll grow old soon enough, too.
Whether people see that as ugly,
or see you as a senior in life,
depends on how you choose to live.
And when the time comes to die, whether you’ll be able to say, like Raoh:
“I have no regrets in my life.”
That is the question...

If we’re going to embrace aging, we all want to grow older in a way that makes people think, “She’s aging beautifully,” don’t we?
I’d also love for my papa (a male supporter) to keep doting on me forever.
For now, I’m in my third year of doing flexibility exercises, and I’ve started planking too.
These days, I feel like starting something new—and sticking with it.

As we get older, our metabolism slows down, and men in particular are more prone to accumulating visceral fat, which is why our stomachs tend to get bigger.
I’ve heard that aging happens because cells have a limit to how many times they can divide.
As long as we’re living beings, aging and death are unavoidable, so I don’t think there’s any choice but to accept them. Since people grow old and die, I decided when I was a teenager to enjoy life as much as possible—and I’ve lived that way ever since. Isn’t adolescence the time when you find yourself thinking about things like this?

I believe you can do something about aging to a certain extent with enough effort, so I’m working hard to prevent it from now on. I also prefer papas who put in the effort to maintain themselves. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever met a papa with a potbelly. I can’t handle overweight men, so it naturally worked out that way.
