They say you're supposed to get a bum knee or an achin' bacon or something. Or women who meet you or see your picture will stop advertising their availability, either by themselves or through mutual friends. Errors. Untruths.
Me? I caught myself thinking about all the shit I should have done and what an amazing guy I'd be by now instead of thinking about all the stuff I'm going to do and how great I'm gonna become. And then I realized whoa --- that ain't a good sign! Conclusion: I'm behind schedule. By about 40 years.

Still looking forward, though. I view this as a good thing.

Aging is simply a case of the that "rough" looking reflection in the mirror first thing in the morning... taking longer and longer to clear... until it's permanent.

I'm proceeding on the assumption that my current self is the right one and sounding like a crazy person. Damn the torpedoes. Fortune fucks the cautious.
Signs you're old #2: Repeating "I've come at last to recognize who I am." "Hnnnnnng."

As I get older:
- I am a better father
- I am a better husband
- I am more patient with people (not Joon)
- I am better at my chosen profession
- I am smarter about nutrition
- I am getting leaner and more muscular (thank you TRT)
So far, getting old is pretty awesome.

Age is rot, along with the wisdom to comprehend your own mortality. Ironically, by the time you do attain a bit of wisdom, you're not able to use it, because you're at the end of your lifespan.

No one has to feel old if they train hard........it`s like a tonic.
That being said,I feel like I`m fucking 90! !! LOL ;D

Age hits some harder than others.
Anyone catch the story about the late year old family man who took them all out?
Things could be worse..

LOL this is the most basic emo aging confession. Trust me, people like you exist by the hundreds of millions.
You want to know something that's true but won't help how you feel? The world you chase and value is built on fantasy, synthetic emotions in the form of pills, psychological warfare in the form of advertising, mind altering chemicals in the form of food, brainwashing seminars in the form of media, controlled isolated bubbles in the form of social media. You really want to be in the leading role of awesomeness in that world?
Trust me. What you think you lack in life, you really lack in spirit as cliche it sounds. But you have fallen in the same trap like everyone else that you have to fall in love with the world and bathe in it's illusionary pleasures or else you will be miserable. I've fallen into that trap as well but trying to find my way out. I know it's all very tempting but trust me, you don't really need fuck all of it.
And yes I used the quote from mr.robot's finale.
-
It's a matter of no longer taking what you want from life, but holding fast to what you realize you truly need. Family. Friends. Memories from the years gone by and the desire to make more before the spirit is no longer willing and able.
My mother has always said that we should never make more out of something until it has proven worthy of doing so. If you cannot make more of life then make the best of it. Which by the way, beats the hell out of just making do.
Too much? Only if you are incapable of understanding what I am trying to tell you all. But the truth is, we all, all of us, already know this.

Mama's boy... that explains a lot.

I see friends "giving up" and stuff, talks like "Oh, I'm getting old", etc, when people are only 30 or similar age. I don't get it, it's complete alien state of mind for me, I'm 30 and only getting better in new ways that I have not imagined earlier, every day is a new opportunity. I look at age as an opportunity to improve and my goal is to get better, at everything I do. I will be R.Robinson one day, if we talk about a physical appearance (just white), I knew that from a very early age. That I won't go down without a fight, no way. And you lost it already with that kind of thought process, sorry.

Wisdom is not something one is born with, nor is the ability to discern it.
That explains even more, my young friend. ;D

As your pal, I feel it necessary to inform you that your coddling and romantical musings to the infantile, wretched... and whore-like entity that is 'Booty'.... clearly demonstrates a profound lack of discernment/wisdom/common sense; that I would sooner expect from a woman – not a 'man', especially a 'man' of your advanced age.
Strange.
An overbearing mother impacting your psyche, thereby distorting your perception of reality.... would explain things, though.

This will put it all in perspective
-
When you drive past a high school cheerleading practice, slow the car down, act casual to hide your creepiness and your penis doesn't even move, you're officially old.

I can't remember when that day was, but it was a very long time ago.

So much for having a sense of humor while trying to be nice. Thanks, kid.

For a chuckle:
The way to the heart of a woman is by first giving her yours and not just in simple deeds but in words worthy of even greater works of the heart and soul yet to come.
I know... I am one wordy man but a man is who and what I am.

I have no problem with my words. That you do concerns me little for you are not the first nor the last to do so. Neither alpha nor omega.

Wait til you hit Andropause. You'll be a cranky irritable mess. And tending towards fat.

I have to say this has not been my experience. Getting older it is harder for me to get a good pump in my muscles despite a good workout. It just doesn't have the fullness and tightness that it used to have no matter what I do. I worry that somehow my blood vessels have become too dilated or too large.

If that's the place where natural test goes kaput, I'm there! I am just "cruising" right past it.

The worst for me is that I can never seem to train injury free. As soon as one injury heals seems like another one pops up :-\

Im a similar age, and some things lately are really on my mind. I feel like i havnt done shit with my life thats important. I have a nice job, nice car, nice house (much nicer than basically anyone my age), hot wife, nice dogs, no kids...but it feels shallow and empty the older i get. College was paid for me, i didnt study hard or even work hard at it, i just coasted. And then 30 hit and BAM, i got nothing to show for it but basic surface
Level materialistic middle class accomplishments.
So lately ive been tinkering with thoughts of joining the army reserve, going back to school, volunteering at an old folks home, etc etc. just things to try and make a difference. I dont give a shit about what people think of me, i dont do facebook like all my peers do, i have very few real friends, people dont call me to hang out anymore which doesnt bother me. I feel like i want to be great and a great person i just wasted too many years being selfish and annoying and just your average everyday american consumer asshole

You should be ashamed of yourself.
I would knock some sense into you immediately.
Your must set up a business immediately and focus on making lots of money quickly before you get any older.

It just shows how dofferent people may feel. I'm living a similar life just no wife and... I'm lovin' it. I understand that whatever I do it's about the survival of my genes (yet I'm not sure whether I will have kids sometime tho'), everything else is really just a noise. Volunteering, etc... it's one of the way to feel "happy" (for a while), feel like life has a meaning. I've accepted that it does not. I've accepted that I may feel down some days, and I may feel up, whatever the day is - it is good as long as I'm strong and kickin' it. Now that's what's important for me - to stay strong for as long as possible while I'm alive. By strong I don't mean only physically, but mentally, financially and every other way of strong one could imagine. Because... only when a person is strong - there's a chance to sometimes feel happy too. The stronger you are - the more chances will be to feel happy. I honstely don't care much about the rest of the world aside my relatives, yet sometimes I do good for others, because yes.. it feels good to be able to help these who are weaker (and to to feel stronger than they are at the same time).
Most, I repeat - most people you know around you will start to go insane/crazy in one way or another after some time. You may not know it, but their relatives will know for sure, and obviously you can be one of them either (or me). Unless... you will understand that there's no point in worrying about anything too much, there's no point of overanalying life either (because you will come to a conclusion that there's not much to analyze... and that will make you feel sad. Then only way to not feel sad is to stop caring about that and just sit tightly in this rollercoaster).
Goals... have goals, one reached - have another, go for it, just keep yourself busy, never stop until your body will force you to. Helping others may be a goal too, why not.
Overall - life made me realize early on that it's basically a funny absurd, sometimes violent absurd which ends in a death. Enjoy while it lasts, it sounds you have it better than most - enjoy that too. Just have fun, because nothing really matters at the end, we are just participants of a complex manifestation of physical laws. A replicators which are competing for survival. Each and every gene in you wants to survive and cooperate with each other to accomplish that (to reproduce). There seems to be no point, no meaning for that, just how it is, so there's no need to worry when you think long enough. If you think it's "important"" - well have kids and all the consequences, good or bad, if not - just have fun while you can and die peacefully. Pretty much it.

When does the scrotum take that final geriatric plunge? I'd like to be prepared.

Happiness is found in a man's life work, and it has nothing to do with money. Money outside of necessities and the ability that it affords in helping others does not provide true happiness.
Put your mind, body and soul into something that satisfies every fiber of your being, and life will begin to fast forward, providing satisfaction all the way.
Whatever moves you, whatever truly inspires... gravitate towards those things and never look back.

I fully agree on a second part. Yet I think that money is importat. Just like meat was important to our ancestors. The more fresh meat, the better. Obviously there exists a point where you won't be able to eat all of it and your relatives won't, yet it's very satisfying to know that you have meat for a year in advance (frozen for ex) and you won't have to starve for a long time to come. Many people want to be around such persons (with lots of meat) and when lots of people want to be around you - you can use it for your favour (for ex. - sex. But not neccasirily. It can be just a great time with people you enjoy being with). = happy.

It's funny how easy it becomes to read people when you understand the basics of how life/nature works. You see an alcoholic? Well... it means he has some serious issues with how he feels about his life (now and in the past, before he became addicted). You see a person on antidepresants? He's not ill really... he just feels very weak all the time, thus - unhappy. Here comes being strong once again. That includes being strong enough to refrain from cocaine/alcohol when you are on the top and can have all the fun that you can dream off. That means being strong at keeping balance. It's all about being strong. Money is being strong too. Even if you're old and weak (physically), you still can be strong in some sense if you are rich as fuck. Weaker (poorer) people will wipe your ass for your money.
Happiest in life are these who managed to sustaing a state of being strong (in one way or another) right to their death.

'Meat/sustenance' would fall under the 'necessities' category.
Manipulating those around you, by way of your resources.... is only something that a debased mind would take pleasure in ;D

That's what we all do, whether we know it or not. Don't let be fooled, everyone is "manipulating" everyone, it's a subtle game behind the scenes, the question is whether you want to see it.
"Necessities" is relative. I'd rather have meat for five years in advance (a few million bucks in current terms), rather than for five months.

Pay no attention to Joon. It's okay to look for a way to give more meaning to your life. Money isn't everything, but it does help to have enough to get by. I can't see where Joon is happy with his life.
How does your wife feel about this? Hopefully she's got more going for her than simply being "hot". But if she's into the material rewards a lot more than you are, this can be a problem for you both.
When folks have it easy, they have more time and energy to ponder stuff like you are. This change you are thinking about doesn't need to be drastic, pick one goal like volunteering at a retirement home to see if you like how it makes you feel.

When you're older than the Cops and professional athletes in your City, you're officially old.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

A success story, ride it while it lasts.
I'm 37 which is in the cusp of getting old, my definition of getting old is passing the age where most athletes retire, which is around 30-35 or so, i.e it's all downhill from here. TRT certainly allows you to plateau for a significant time past this point. I'm of course ignoring the mental aspect, mentally you can be any age really.
Getting a bad head injury can reduce your age by years I hear. Some people revert to newborns - can't eat, think, shit themselves etc. Sounds like a good plan!
