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

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

I don't know, mine hasn't started it's final descent yet and I am 71 years old.

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

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!
