I have another question for you all. I am 35. Still wear the same pants I wore back near the end of high school. Still look the same as I did a decade prior. Got a couple grey hairs in my chest fur… And that is it. Everyone told me I would be in pain in my thirties and wouldn’t want to do anything, but I have just much energy as I did when I was a kid. I don’t look or feel any different from when I was in my late twenties.
I go out with several buddies, some with kids, some without. Same deal. They haven't slowed down at all. We have discussed this a few times bar hopping. Brought it up to some old men in their fifties who... Honestly, I wouldn't have guessed they were in their fifties. Forties tops. Blew my mind, the way they drink and party.
My question is… Why is this an American myth? Feminists being resentful of men aging gracefully? The r select being angry at the k select? Endomorphs raging at ectomoporhs and mesomorphs walking through less affected by time? Everyone throughout my life has told me when you hit your thirties you will be in pain after waking up sleeping on the wrong side of the bed. You can't drink as much. Your dick won't be hard. Where does this shit come from?
i'm the same age and i don't feel much different.
just a temporary bad knee not from age, but from myself doing something stupid.
other than that i have the same energy if not sometimes more than when i was younger. might be the attitude as well -- i.e. knowing the scams of the world, the lies, knowing the value of actual personal growth, etc. -- a positive mind makes the body feel good too
when i was in my early-mid 20's i was chronically tired and didn't have much energy to remain present mentally-speaking* at work or in social settings.
although it could also be bias since my lifestyle has changed a bit since then
