Anybody else hate getting old?

Time goes so much faster every year it’s crazy. Every day is less time to reach your life goals and people start drifting away (or dying) as the years go by.

I love it.

fun to see how life evolves and how much easier everything gets.

I'm at a point now where it seems I like don't have to do anything, and continue to live a great life.

kind of like auto pilot.

No idea. I won't start getting old until 65 or so, thats 26 years away.

Even then, I will be aging slowly and will not be legit old until 75 maybe.

i'm 36

don't really care about getting old, i mog almost everyone my age


but i have noticed in the last few years everything is starting to become more and more cringe

instead of in your 20s and getting wasted picking up sloots, it's meeting up at 'events' making small talk with people you don' want to talk to

i hate that chit

Doesn't bother me because I'm extremely healthy from living a healthy and active lifestyle my whole life.

It actually sucks pretty bad. Knowing in 20 years I'll be dead.

Wish I was 22 yo again but clean and sober.

I'm 46 and figure I'm half way to dead.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life.
My career is pretty much settled, maybe I move to the same role at a different company, but I have nothing left to grow into.
I have 2 kids, the first will be in high school next year, the second in 2 years. They will become independent, then leave in 4 years for college.
So from 50ish on, I will be drifting towards death I suppose. I lift and have active hobbies, but my body is already breaking down. I get a sore lower back from golf for Christ sake.

Maybe I'll start a business or something.

I dunno.

Turning 50 this year really sucked. I want to be active and lift and play sports, but it's harder and harder every day to avoid injury and recover from intense activity. Enjoy it while you can, kids. I wasted a lot of my 20s fat and slovenly careermaxxing in an office job.

It's good overall.

Only thing I really miss is the athleticism from my youth. I have a group I play basketball with in the morning. Mostly 30+ guys, but we get a few high schoolers, too. I remember being able to jump like they can, but my body just can't anymore. I also remember doing summer tournaments and playing multiple games in a day. Now, if I don't have couple days of recovery I wear down.

From family life to job, how much do you feel accomplished/ satisfied? If you went out today would it be a happy enjoyable life?

I'm nearly 62 and have always taken care of myself and now reaping the rewards, most guys I know my age are looking really old and now having health issues.
Physically I can still basically do anything I did when I was in my twenties, I just have to pace myself a little more.
So I find myself in a good place in life so far, long may it last!

You're too old and dried up. Vag probably sealed together like a peanut butter sandwich.

Anyways, you don't even date. You just snapchat like a teenager with emotionally unstable losers from the internet.

best part about 18-27 is how fkn resilient your body was.

Legit could go get hammered til 2 am the night before and then be in the gym for two hours the next morning as long as you got a solid breakfast in.

BRB now I have 2 beers and hungover.

Also the dumbest chit can cause injuries.

Actually, it’s kinda fun.

Realized today I need to cut back drinking. In June I was at my best ever, had some **** stressing my out in july and have had 6+ drinks every day for the past 4 months. Still lifting but gains suck and feel like **** all the time, def can't handle it like I could in college. Also cost me a relationship, seems like serious women 26+ don't want a guy who acts too young.

I think your accurate in my case OP . I walk into a shop that sells dirt bikes , and when I see all that new shiny plastic I just about bring out my Visa card , but then I wake up and realize my health is subpar .
Still get this urge to get a YZ 250 2 stroke and pull some wheelies on the main drag before I die for some reason though . Would be hilarious to do that when your 70 years old . If the cops caught you they’re be like wtf lol .

Then I see these young sloots and it gets even more depressing knowing a can’t pull them anymore .
It’s strange as my mind is still young , but my body is falling apart .
And yes time is flying . Bought my house when I was 39, now I’m sitting in the living room and trying to comprehend that I’m 60, as it seems like yesterday when I bought this place .
At least I still alcohol and the Misc
Back with my Fam
