Do you want to know why men age horribly, turning into ugly, bald mutants past their prime?

Well, it's antagonistic pleiotropy! Men are designed to live fast and die young, meaning that their bodies have increased expressions of genes that promote early fitness via accelerated growth. (Growth genes are paternally derived too, but that's a huge tangent). The same genes cause speedy decline past sexual prime. Male everything grows faster (including hair) because they need to be ready to compete, breed and die early - fuck what happens later.  The male is designed for this. Breed and die. In other words, it's because men are not meant to exist past certain age. They're also not meant to get everything they want, especially not early in life. Simple as.

The problem is ~ modern society. You see an unnatural number of men, especially ugly ones, because technological society is a giant zoo full of them surviving past their prime due to zero predation and virtually no immediate resource scarcity. Modern males do not experience any selective pressure from females, predation or disease, so all mutations (most of which will be deleterious by definition) survive. The reason why paternal age effect exists is because the high male mutation rate continues past natural survival window

In my view, the ungroomed default state of female preference, the authentic female sexuality, with any future changes being socially imposed capitulation and/or grooming, rotates around more feminine, delicate men. Curiously, the capitulation pattern is less prevalent in East Asian countries, wherein women of all ages are overtly uncompromising on having the typical kdrama male lead as their ideal.

The only way a man can age better is if he has genetically and environmentally diminished anabolism. I recommend taking rapamycin and vegan diet before 25.
