Bored and curious. Like I hear a lot of stories about dickheads buffing and then turning fat later in life? Uhh...both. not straight As but have succeeded in life in academics and university, or dropped out of highschool and got a job.

Typically between graduation and the 10 year reunion. People swell significantly in those 10 years

Why are you connecting fitness, niceness, and level of success in these ways? Maybe you're projecting? These things have little to nothing to do with each other.

I'm not connecting anything (and who the hell is calling anyone "nice") I was just wondering what is the mean age when a douchebag (e.g spoilt bullies who gets away eoth everything) loses all of their successes. Have you heard of stories like the high school bully has become a success, but then after highschool is a fatass depressed loser? I'm just wondering at what age does that usually occur.

If anyone is projecting I'd say you are considering the illogical assumption you are making right now.

What I did was a description.

Edit: Clarification.

I hear what you're saying, and thank you for clarifying that you're talking about bullies. I thought you were calling people dickheads because they're successful and fit, not because they're bullying others. And people can be fat and successful, so I was objecting to the idea that fat = loser.

To actually answer your question now that I get it, yeah I've heard those stories, and as someone in their mid-30s, I've seen it play out first-hand (I was bullied in high school, actually). After high school, bullies generally become less popular because the bullshit they pulled when they were kids doesn't work anymore — unless they hide out in a frat full of assholes and go on to become, say, a stockbroker or something. If the formerly-bullied avoid bullying-prone subcultures, they'll find that most people don't act that way.

In the grown-up world, it's not about what the bullies are up to (they may stay buff; they may stay successful), but about how the people they bullied have the opportunity to find other social circles that don't condone or participate in bullying. Most sane adults just don't have time for that nonsense.

I don't see why you feel the need to state the obvious fact that fat people can be successful considering I never stated or indicated that all fat people are failures, it was just a description. I'm more wondering what are the chances of the opportune time to come when I can beat him up without getting myself beaten up. It's probs never going to come, but the thought of it is fun to entertain with. If the time the opportunity ever comes, I'll probably be too lazy to even punch them by then.

I think I took issue with the idea that people go from being fit to fat as a negative trajectory. (It's not great from a health perspective, sure, but it doesn't necessarily "go" with being a "loser.")

I vote you don't beat him up, incidentally, even if he's awful. Instead make yourself awesome and believe in yourself, and pretend he doesn't exist. If he is actively bullying you perhaps your guidance counselor or a teacher can help intervene on your behalf. Bullying is terrible and I'm sorry you're having a hard time.
