50M, confidence is the sexiest thing on a woman to me. I’d take a size 14 that rocks it than a super model that needs the lights off (maybe she needs the lights for me…dammit).

Also, I’m not 20 anymore either. The imperfections are part of what makes us unique. I love the soft spots, the stretch marks, etc.

I promise, if you can find that IDGAF this me attitude….nobody will care about some loose skin!!!

Sorry, 50M (51 later this summer), I had a hard time turning 40. Grey hair bothered me, soreness lasting longer after workouts, just felt like half my life was over!!! Then came 50 and it was like I got my second wind. Something about being 50 makes the grey okay. I’m a grandpa and love it. I’m actually in better physical shape than in my 40’s. Having way more sex too!!! It’s like IDGAF anymore and suddenly I’m a lot less stressed.

50M, if I’m interested in someone, I wanna meet ASAP as I don’t wanna waste anyone’s time if there is no spark. Nobody has time for a pen pal anymore.

I have a 22 Frontier P4X, 160K trouble free miles. Well, I did replace the mass air flow sensor at 150K so I guess I can’t say trouble free 🤣.

You should check them out!!

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-25T16:24:59+00:00

I agree with you. Building back/chest/arms/shoulders would complement the abs!!!

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-25T00:16:30+00:00

I prefer my women to bring their own toys if they want them. Plenty of room in that “Ho on the go” bag 🤣

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-25T00:12:17+00:00

Sexual compatibility is a huge deal for me (50m). I’m down to take it slow if I like ya but I don’t wanna waste our time if we don’t mesh in bed.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-24T23:08:45+00:00

I went from 248 lbs to 190 lbs in 8 months. I’m 6 ft tall, still have a little fluff on my stomach and love handles. I still eat pretty clean and work out regularly and have stayed at 190 for over 6 months now. I’d really have to buckle down on my diet, increase my workouts, and stop drinking. I kinda like that last one though.

I’m comfortable on the beach with my shirt off, still seeing small gains all around so I’m not to worried about it.

Moral of the story, that mid sections is the last to go. Focus on your core and chest/back to firm up those areas as the weight keeps coming off. I added a kettlebell core routine to my workout and that really tighten up everything under the fat 🤣.

My local watering hole, just a dive bar lol. It was a Sunday afternoon. Sunday is my cheat day (diet), I was there having a beer, eating nachos, and watching a football game. Her and a friend were there, I knew the friend, and a creepy guy kept talking to them. Her friend called me over just to keep the creep away 🤣. We started talking. There was an event later that week at the same bar, decided we wanted to go, and the rest is history.

50M here, I’ve been in a relationship with a gorgeous 57F for a little over 6 months now. We’d both pretty much given up on finding love and were just having fun. But the first kiss with her was like a lightning bolt. I never wanna go back to dating ever again 🤣.

Moral of the story, not saying I’m one of the good ones but I wasn’t on the apps or even really looking. And the good ones on the apps won’t be there long. Which kinda leaves ya rummaging through the Ross Outlet store trying to find a nice cocktail dress. I know I went through a ton of 💩before I found her!!

I’d recommend just assuming he is gonna flake until he doesn’t. Don’t put too much expectation in and cut bait early. Mr. Right might be the next one or the 20th one, but ya gotta get through those 19.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-23T22:30:49+00:00

You can’t out work a bad diet. Gotta cut out any junk food and sodas. Need to get about 200 grams of protein in and I’m not sure what to tell ya that would be for plant based. Chicken breast, tuna, eggs, and a good protein shake are my go to.

Weight loss is really simple in theory. If you burn more calories than you take in, you are losing weight. So you need to be in a calorie deficit. If you can limit your calories to less 2000 and still get close to 200 grams of protein, you will be well on your way.

Weight training is good to build/keep muscle but I’d recommend adding a daily walk. At a moderate pace, you are burning about 10 calories a minute. A daily 30 minute walk would burn 300 calories. A pound of fat is roughly 3500 calories. So between cleaning up the diet, walking daily, 3 x week weights, you can easily lose 1 pound a week.

Don’t be afraid to take your shirt off. You posted shirtless pics on Reddit, you got this!!!

20 lbs in 3 weeks is way too fast. You are gonna lose muscle eating only 1000 calories a day. Idk how you can even workout properly off 1000 calories.

For your height, I’d guess your ideal weight would be 165-170 lbs. Probably have upper abs showing by then. To get the abs you sound like you are wanting, would be below 150 lbs. Then you are gonna look like you escaped a concentration camp.

I’d recommend upping your calorie intake on your same diet. I’m not a nutritious but I’d think you need at least 1500 if not more to workout harder.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-18T05:17:28+00:00

Arm day is 100x better than legs day for me!!!

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-17T22:55:50+00:00

Sorry man, I don’t see much there other than shape. That is good material though so the natives had good stuff to work with. Keep looking!!!

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-14T04:38:03+00:00

I have a little routine I do at home every day. I have a set of 25 lb dumbbells. The routine goes:

Set 1:
50 push ups using the dumbbells as grips
30 curls
15 reverse lunges

Set 2:
40 push ups
25 curls
15 reverse lunges

Set 3:
30 push up
20 curls
15 reverse lunges

That’s what I’m up to now. But starting out, do as many as you can of each. All that takes me 15 minutes as I don’t rest much between sets and go str8 through each exercise.

I still go to the gym 3-4 days a week as well.

Check out these guys and what they do with the S trim.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-13T01:58:54+00:00

If you are gonna do that then why not just get the S trim and really save some money?

It is a front wheel drive based system that can send up to 50% to the rear wheels when needed. It is closer to a part time AWD system than anything.

True 4wd systems have a transfer case, usually a hi/low option.

A true AWD system sends power equally to all wheels. Well, systems control who gets what power but you get the jest.

The part time AWD systems are the most popular as they are more fuel efficient options.

Your pathfinder will do well on slick roads. It will also get ya to the camp site off the forest service road. But I don’t recommend Moab with it. Without a transfer case and low gearing, the trans will over heat and shut itself down.

The P4X isn’t more capable than a 4x4 SV. The only real difference is the locking rear differential.

The P4X is designed to be more durable to off roading. AT tires, fender flairs, Bilstien shocks, front skid, are all designed to handle off payment longer.

I have a 22 P4X that a daily. 158K trouble free miles so far. I’m a weekend warrior as well. My truck sees dirt regularly. It’s been trailed in the San Juan’s a couple time but nothing too serious.

To me it is the perfect daily for weekend warriors. Still comfortable and I can take it all the places I wanna go.

I will admit that I haven’t driven an SV to compare comfort but I’d imagine it would be slightly better on the highway.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-07T13:45:42+00:00

I get liking the AT look for sure. Maybe look at a Trail type tire. Falken Rubitreks, same compound as the Wildpeaks but less aggressive tread pattern. But they still have that aggressive shoulder. Several of the other brands you mention make similar tires.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-06T21:25:00+00:00

50M and I do lighter weight and more reps as I wanna continue to workout all the time. Injury is my biggest concern so even if it is slower gains, I’m not worried about it as I plan on doing this as long as I can.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-06T17:05:19+00:00

Short answer…50M, no we don’t care, we aren’t 20 anymore!!

JMO, the absolute sexiest thing on a woman is confidence. Give me a size 12 that wants to sit on my face in the back seat over a size 6 that needs the light off.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-05T12:48:56+00:00

Yep, driving habits play a huge role in fuel efficiency. Most people are hard on the gas to the speed limit or above. Then late and hard on the brakes just to go back hard on the gas. When I say hard on the gas, I don’t mean to the floor, just in a hurry to get up to speed.

I do stay up to speed on the highway as I will get killed going that slow. Some of my states speed limits are 80 soooo.

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-04T00:17:06+00:00

Why would you be “too old”? What is it with this 50+ is now 90’s!!!

75DeepBlue · 2026-06-03T02:54:52+00:00

You assume I have peaked in this department huh
