For older guys

[Zoltri]

This forum seems a little younger than other sports/gambling forums im a member at. Nevertheless, im 42 and I am sure there are quite a few my age and older here.

Here is the question:

Do you see/feel yourself getting older?
I am sure the younger guys dont get it...but I know what i was like at 32 and now, 10 years later, I am slowing down big time....I am...gulp...turning into my Father. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Can you relate?

In about 3 weeks I turn 30.

I'm (damned near) twice the man I used to be.

sitting on your ass for 12 hours a day will do that to a man.


I'm slowing down, but I'm still svelt baby /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I am 42 also. The worst for me is that I don't fit in at the gym anymore... And I DON'T want to! I can still kick it a little bit but my days are numbered. Ahhh [censored] it...

[Bluffoon]

Yeah when I was thirty I was still shitting lightning bolts... Now Ive got hemorrhoids. I refuse to get my prostrate checked and the day I need viagra I am going to shoot myself.

there are lots of people on here close to 40 and a lot close to 25.

I'm 55 and while I hated giving up basketball and raquetball because of bad wheels, I'm enjoying life more now than ever.

Of course it helps to have a job I like, a great wife and a great family. I do admit having a little mid life anxiety when I hit 40 though.

37 here, and I am definitely slowing down. I am still in pretty good shape, but no where near my prime.

I'm 38, but what I lack in youth I make up for in immaturity. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It helps to have no kids yet. Those things make you age faster I think.

I'm 25 and I can already tell my metabolism is starting to slow down..... I'll be suicidal by 30. I think it's time for QLC.

35 here. I am not sure I feel older yet, but I certainly feel out of shape. I just started exercizing again, and I am so far from where I was 8-10 years ago it is awful.

Mainly what I feel are my options shifting. I am hyper aware of the things I can no longer do due to where I am in life, but I am also aware of the things I can do now that I was unable to when I was 25.

I turn a quarter century two weeks from Monday and man am I feeling it. Seriously, though - I am.

A quarter century? And you are feeling it?

My good man, it's not rocket science. (http://quarterlifecrisis.com)

Very nice.

How about all the upsides to being 42?

For starters forty year old women are way better in bed. They can't get enough, they know what they want, and they know what they are doing.

I know myself a lot better than when I was in my twenties. I know what I want and I am alot more self-assured and confident and comfortable than when I was younger.

I also have aquired some experience. I spin my wheels a lot less and I know how to handle situations and circumstance more effectively.

Life is just a whole hell of a lot easier.

I agree, I just turned 26. I didnt belive it when I was 18 talking to a 30yr old when he said it would happen.

I am not old by any stretch of the imagination, But [censored] 18 to 23 I use to work 12 straight then while driving home I would be calling all my boys to see where the party is at.

I would get blasted till 2-3am just to wake up at 7am fresh as a dasiy to do the whole day over and over and over.

No even on friday night I sometimes crindge if the phone rings.

I use to drink like a fish, I sometimes rough it though a 12 pack. Then the next morning holy hangover batman.

When i was 18-20 I didnt even know what a hangover was.

[Toro]

WTF. I thought this was suppose to be an old guy's thread but we're getting all these responses from 20 something year olds. Isn't it enough that you guys have taken over the Poker World? /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Zoltri]

Toro, I'm afraid we are outnumbered my freind.
