I'm 35 and don't look or feel old but when people find out my age and ask if I'm divorced or have kids that shite curls my lip a little.

Approaching 35 made me freak out with biological clock stuff. It was truly bizarre to rationally know what was happening, but still feel crazy.

I’m approaching 38, and it’s downhill pretty much every week. I try to remind myself on a regular basis to appreciate this moment, because nothing is ever going to look better than it does today.

About 35 ish, but that probably had more to do with the 2 or 3 year old twins I had than my actual age.

About a year ago at 45. When I could no longer see small print up close and had to start holding things like receipts about 6-8" farther out so I could read them. I used to have better than 20/20 vision. This literally happened almost overnight.

I still get asked for my ID to buy beer. Everywhere.

Yeah, I know- they do it if someone looks under 40. But I'm about to hit 50, so .

I'm 54..

My mind says 28, but my body says 54...

I really started to age after having kids. My wife was looking at pics of us before kids, it was amazing how much we changed afterwards...

I have a theory that your attitude prevailed in Norse drinking halls.

Get counseling. You might turn your life around for the better.


I was 50-something when I got old. I had an injury that took "forever" to heal.

I'm 49.... dreading turning 50. Problem is, I don't FEEL it. I'm in great shape. After divorce 5 years ago, started hitting gym again, benching 400 lbs just like high school!
Still, cant hide that I'm "older".... don't turn the younger girls heads. Just hate it. Not ready for this!

Once you pass age 55 be prepared for any woman under age 40 calling you "sir"!
