I need to look older

[regexcellent]

Start dead lifting too. You'll put mass on your posterior chain. Don't worry about how much you lift. Just lift. Lift and eat. With your frames, you guys will see great results. I'm almost jealous

Just squatting 50 pounds (3x sets of 10) made a big difference in my ability to climb stairs/rocks/hike/etc

No change in weight/appetite though

Sava, what's your chest routine?

Lifting by itself won't change your weight. You will recomp fat into muscle. Even perhaps lose muscle in some areas and gain it in others. Gotta eat. Go for calorie dense foods. Experiment. Find what works for you.

As you gain mass, your body will adjust. It is similar to Newtonian physics. Your body wants to maintain. You may have to force it

Spend that $20K on new wardrobe.

So now I'm not the only one promoting the merits of fitness and fasion

It's not like HC can get by on his personality.

Apolyton seems to have a lot of gay men.

Fashion is useless. But fitness? Yes.

[Hauldren Collider]

Fashion's not entirely useless, but it's more of a what not to do than what to do. I.e. don't do fedoras and hot topic t shirts

I have never tried growing a beard though my facial hair grows pretty fast. The problem is I find it really ****ing itchy and annoying so I end up shaving like twice a day.

see, a beard needs a strong host to survive and be a good symbiote. the itchiness is just the beard trying to make you stronger and fashion you into an adequate host. once you make it out of that stage, the beard will accept you as one of its own; you've just got to be patient.

I think you should grow a neckbeard and buy yourself a fedora to look older. Or just relax.

I was buying a bottle of liquor for my MiL and the cashier refused to sell it to me without an ID until a bag boy recognised me and told her I have a wife and a kid. And I don't look like Twiggy.

Liking fashion isn't gay. It's effeminate. Give albie a break.

[I AM MOBIUS]

Yeah don't knock this young thing, I remember always being the youngest and nowadays I always seem the oldest. Where did it all go...?

Still, my gf keeps getting IDed for buying alcohol and - get this - buying ****ing Christmas crackers!!! So I can be young vicariously through her...

But yeah, basically you need presence. I remember being a 10 stone weakling aged 16 when I started working and used the gym, which was hard work given my insane metabolism at the time. But even the half a stone I gained at that time and the confidence I got from that just made me seem much older - even if it was from 16 to 17...

And dress older. Pick someone you like and respect, google their images and buy the types of clothes they wear - that's an easy shortcut.

Hmm. I'd agree with that
