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?
People's vices is probably doing a horrible number on them when they had the ability to get around it in their 20's.
I have aches because I need to replace my bed. People who didn't sleep well will find that shit catching up to them. Too much alcohol, too much smoking, too much drugs? All of that catches up to you. Injuries when you were younger? Same.
Remember, people used to die in their late 30's pretty regularly before civilization because that's about all a body can take when you have to fight that hard for that long.
Your buddies are actually doing something very stupid. They shouldn't be out bar hopping and getting plastered in their 50's. I assure you, everyone thinks they're fucking clowns and losers. I probably watched them on some police body-cam footage fighting some cops.
Now, I would suggest that you should change your pants. You probably should have design changes as you go through life.
I think you're confusing a high infant mortality rate and the subsequently lowered average lifespan for "it's normal to die at 30". It's not normal to die at thirty unless you're doing something retarded like underwater welding.
I meant in the stone age.
I'd still put the standard tap out closer to 40 or 50 barring something like an infection.
