What happens to twinks once they turn 30?

[Constantine]

I'm especially curious about the ones who base their entire identity on how hot they are. What happens as the looks fade?

Their identity changes, I guess, just like the rest of us. If you're talking about how someone makes a living, I guess they need to find a new audience.

It's simply weird being the same age as old people.

They find a branch somewhere, spin a cocoon, and emerge several weeks later as a butterfly....

Do the looks actually fade, or do they just change?

What happens?

At least one of them came here and started writing very long rambling posts...

They regret not being polite and agreeable to generous older men while they were in their ‘prime’.

I think that former twinks, now in their 30s, 40s and beyond, are really hot. I know many twinks who became handsome dilfs while still maintaining that twinkish charm.

There's obviously not a single answer to this question, and I'm a bit surprised to find so many here who think that somehow once someone is too old to be a twink then he must be less desirable. Not everyone favors the twink look.

 

Some twinks become twunks and then graduate into hot men in their late 20s and beyond.

 

Some twinks look older than their years relatively quickly, presumably due to hard living/unhealthy habits.

 

I'm sure that for some, their looks do fade. It is interesting that some men who are really cute when they are younger aren't so attractive as they age while other men preserve their good looks for decades.

Some continue to look the same, well after their 20's. One particular guy that I remember (whom I had seen for 10 years or so) didn't seem to age.

I took him to dinner to celebrate his 40th birthday, and he was carded by the bartender in a bar we went to before dinner, and again in the restaurant.

He looked just like he did when I first met him.

Looks fade if you let them. Most guys have little clue on how to truly take care of themselves.

 

A smart twink will figure out if he wants longevity in this business and change his image (and body) accordingly.

People change as they grow older. My favorite story is a very sexy twink I met in his early 20's who started working at a local bar/restaurant. I had a huge crush on him and he was a border line A&F model. Several years later I saw him again around halloween dressed as a lumberjack, and getting bigger. He grew into the hottest muscle bear, married another bear, and lives happily ever after.

 

He's on the right....

Not always, but mostly, I agree. I’ve been seeing a young man for years who will turn 32 in January and he still looks like a 24 year old twink. Barely a 28” waist.

What happens to posters here when they turn 50...60...70...80? Life happens.

[MscleLovr]

If I may answer your question @Lucky: like fine wine, we mature and become full-bodied and complex with age

[Monarchy79]

Not all twinks are the same.

Some understand the shelf-life we all will face, and either:

1.) Work on their bodies, health, and looks, to stretch out their shelf-life

2.)Link up with a good sugar-daddy,or benefactor to marry, or.

3.) Focus on a career route, or education to serve as a “plan b”, as they get older.

 

The kicker is that, as we all get older, we wise up...

Twinks realize that looks didn’t necessarily benefit them as much as they originally expected, and us “regular” folks realize that we were actually hotter than we thought we were.

 

An old fool can come in any shape, size, or level of appearance. The key is understanding who you are, and capitalizing on your best attributes while you are at your prime (looks, brains, body, or other).

depends, usually they hit the gym and put on muscle. Unfortunately some just put on pounds

[MikeBiDude]

The whole topic reinforces a “looks matter” prevalent in society and especially among this group.

I wasn't aware twinks avoided gyms when a bit younger.

Haha, they don’t!

[thickornotatall]

I've looked much the same for many years....my elementary school friends always recognize me.. I maintain my weight....and moisturize 2x a day...That being said I know I look older...less hair...not so muscular...but still have the bad boy personality (the fun kind) great sense of humor..I think attitude goes an awful long way..Fact is I never thought i was cute...good looking..handsome....but am told I was....My optimism is what I like about myself...On occasion when passing a mirror I see my grandpa....I also remember all the fun times I've had...no one can take that away!

[marylander1940]

Haha, they don’t!

 

I never said they avoided the gym

 

Most gay men of all ages go to the gym and watch what they eat.

and in this site...

 

I'm sure looks matter even more in SoCal, maybe that's a stereotype...
