Getting older sucks
 

I'm turning 42 soon, I must be a geezer compared to some of the young bucks here.

Here's why it sucks, in no particular order:

- Injuries take longer to heal. When I would tweak my shoulder, a couple days would heal it. Now it takes months. And now I have a torn meniscus which is taking years.

- I can't drink as much - I get hangovers far, far more easily, even if I get barely past the "pleasant warmth" stage of drunkenness.

- Most recently... I've always been a sleep hog, sleeping 8-8.5 hrs a night, getting up at 8-8:30. But now I sometimes wake up too early, as in 6:30 AM, after only 7 hours of sleep, and I feel like I've had enough sleep, so I get up. And then a few hours later, I start to feel like shit, like I didn't have enough sleep, for the rest of the goddamn day.

- You're a dirty old man for ogling at high school girls and your friends' daughters are starting to look hot. (I swear, one of them looks like the famous Tawnee)

No I don't have kids. Only cats.

I wanna live forever. I wanna see what technology is like in the late 21st century and beyond. Where's that fountain of youth technology we've been promised?

On the good side, I have no trouble taking a dump, or getting it up, or lifting weights, or doing interval cardio.

The best part about being older than your 20s, is you have a lot more money. The 2nd best part is you know a lot more.


Bah.

Go drive your miata old man :giggle:

I am only 1 week and a year away from getting cheaper car insurance. HELLS YAH.

I turn 30 on Saturday, hold me.

I'll be holding you from behind

at 36 i feel like a king. only with less servants.

you mean queen?

Turn 29 this week. Wish I was 16...

There's a good bit about getting old that sucks (I'm 41)...most of what you mention for sure. Still beats the alternative.

There are a ton of Bday's right around now. We should have a mt.net PARTY for us all. I will get the hookers and blow, who is getting the cake?

"Getting older sucks"

Tell me about it

I've always been blind as hell (near-sighted) without my glasses. When I hit 41 a year ago my eyes started getting worse. Now I can't see anything far away without my glasses and can't see anything up close without them. On my last trip to get new glasses the guy told me I might try some bifocals. I told them they were for old men and I wasn't interested but I should have gotten some.

I'm 27 years old and I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Bowflex! I was seriously dreading the whole 30 thing, but by this point I'm kinda over it. I feel like an old man because I keep up with politics very well and getting overy excited about figuring out my retirment. I am completely stuck in my ways and have no intention of doing anything I don't want to do.

I'm at that point where I can shave clean and look like I am 20 or get scraggly and look like I'm 35. I kinda like it.

OP, its crazy you have been crawling on this planet exactly twice as long as i have. congrats on not dying in traffic or getting some sort of cancer. hopefully you live to be a healthy 100!

I went up to my wife's school to drop off her purse she left at the house and one of her 4th grade kids asked "Is that your dad?". My knee jerk reaction was to say "fuck you!" and I almost did, but refrained. It was probably a good thing.

30s was a good age.
I had money, and more hair, and could flirt with 20-something girls. Now I think they'd get creeped out.

You 30-somethings should live it up!

I do miss my late 20s, especially while working at a big company - I was the youngest manager. The young female clerks and line workers would throw themselves at me. I even had 2 hot chicks in my (trubo'ed) miata ... I wish I had a photo of it. One girl grasped the shift knob, looked at me hotly, and said "mmm, I like how this feels".

I look somewhat young for my age despite my premature hair loss, my wife looks a lot younger. Fortunately nobody's asked if I'm her father... that would send me to a hair transplant doc...

I turn 30 this month... Sure feels a lot different than 20, even though I still look it.

I just turned 40 last month. No biggie really, but I can relate to hangovers coming on earlier and stronger which really sucks. Biggest deal breaker I had was when I turned 30 and the nose hair turned on like a faucet...rotary nose hair trimmers FTW. Now at 40 I'm having to dodge ear hair...fucking retarded. I still flirt with 20-somethings thanks to my boyish good looks, and the best thing I've done for myself in recent history was get a vasectomy so I can ejaculate at will into any chick that will stand still long enough. Snip away and you won't have to worry about any surprises, especially if you don't want any kids (I sure as hell don't).

I have a 52" TV, crazy fast turbo track car, and a GF who tolerates my extreme gassiness. Life is AWESOME!!!

I turn 30 in June.

I've too noticed that now I need a nap after a 8 mile run. :-\

I'm 33 and I have never had a sip of coffee in my entire life. I never get tired during the day. It's awesome.

I dont think its age that is killing me.
Its working 7 hours days, bringing home work, and being 12:40 midnight and i'm working on grad school projects.

I just turned 31 yesterday. I bought myself a dirtbike last week, as a birthday present from me and to me. The one thing I noticed is the ground feels a lot harder than it used to, and leaves much more of a lasting impression.

I turn 30 this year.

Last week I noticed that most of my friends were still in their early 20's. The "car" group always seems to stay the same age and its only me that gets older.

Fortunately I have a GF who is 24 and puts up with this and always has her friends around.

Just turned 23 on January. My world it's over.

I'm 25 and though I don't look over 18-20 I definitely feel it.

In August I start on degree #2 (Mechatronic Engineering) I'm going to be in school until I'm 29! At least I'll look like I fit in with the others in the program, yay for a second bout of FSAE!

You bunch of pussies. I'm 51, have a wife who is 36 (yes, is the answer to your question), have more toys than I can play with, more money than I really need and I'm having more fun with life than I ever have. Age, pfffft, it's just a number - get over it.

I hope this needing sleep thing hits me eventually, because at 24 I can't fucking sleep for shit. It's 9:30 and I have been home from work since 2am, and have to be up to go back at 3...

Cheaper insurance in 4 months!

I can't wait to be old, like 70+ old, so I can act senile and get away with outrageous shit just by saying "I'm old".

I'm 30 too... Hope I'm not bursting anyones bubble, but there isn't really a magic insurance rate drop at 25... its slow and gradual, mine dropped more noticeably before I turned 25.

I'm 21, I look 16... I've gone thru my partying stage and have no ambition to go to clubs and get drunk every other night.

I honestly just want an endless racing budget, a decent size garage, a good DD, and I would be happy.

Looking as young as I do sucks, my opinion is rarely respected, especially around old men in miatas :giggle:


I'm looking forward to my 30s, because I'll still look 20 something.

Mine keeps going up. 31. No accidents. 1 speeding ticket.

Turning 19?

Same here, I'm 24 and feel like I look in my teens. Might not be everyones view of me, but that is how I feel I look.

Dman Kids ... all about 30 eh?

The reason why a 27 year old is in the best shape of their life is because they are 27.

I'm 67, soon to be 68 and just now starting to feel old(er)

My knee was hurting the other day and a coworker said I had bad knees. The logic escaped me as on occasion, I’ve had a headache and don't consider myself to have a bad head.

18 between the ears, much older in actual <------ "There is that word again" years.

Perception is reality. ;)

fuck i am in better shape now than i ever have been. I may not squat 200lbs like hustler can but I do double 52lb kettlebell exercises all day.

getting older rocks. when i get old enough i will be so fucking awesome that i will die from it.

Youngster!

Only 200 lbs? I've always been skinny fat and I reached 200 lbs at one point.... now my bad knee means I only do light squats....

30 here too. I find I gain weight while eating and doing the same ol' shit.

I'll be 23 in March. I'm not looking forward to it as I'm still in college and most of the girls I see are 18 or 19.

Oh yeah. Poor you.

Dude, it sucks. Try being the oldest person in your microeconomics class. I'm FORCED to invite freshman girls over to help me study/lick my penis. It's tough.

Dude, micro is easy. You just draw and X everywhere and label that shit.

This is everything you learn in Micro.

I just found this thread. LMAO :bowrofl:

p* q*

This thread sucks, and makes me depressed.

I'm the classic ectomorph, could never gain weight if I tried, metabolism burns a ton of calories naturally, etc. And somehow in the last year I've gained 10 lbs and it's gone straight to my gut. And I'm afraid that the biggest culprit is probably booze and beer.

YOU make me depressed. I'm 6'3", 220lb and I can gain a pound just by smiling at my dinner. Enjoy your metabolism while it lasts.

No, I know I'm still fortunate comparatively speaking...it just sucks acknowledging that I can't eat or drink whatever I want anymore.

eat less carb and more protein and lift heavy weights every other day. oh and shit a lot.

Does anyone on this board have any experience with Viagra?

Is your boyfriend afraid to ask?

Cialis FTW.

I cant wait to retire, Im going to get a 500 HP Cadillac, drive it 10 under the speed limit and smoke pot all day. Im already in south Florida so I dont have to move.

Yup. Your junk feels like it is going to explode. I don't know if you still get that effect if you really need it.

Are you old?

Nope. A buddy got some as a joke when he came back from India. It was like $2 a pill there or something and you can get it everywhere without a presciption. I know here it's $7-10 a pill.

you have a pm

PM? get that Q&A shit out in the open.

I've tried it, recreationally. It works... the assistance is a good thing if the girl's had a bit of E...

Must have been a great night. :drool::drool::drool:

Damnit losers CIALIS FTMFW

3 days of instaboner regardless of intoxication/substance affectation.
