I mean, the average life expectancy for men in the US is 76... Do you know which number is in the middle of that? General Consensus: 40-64 is middle aged


IMO, mens middle age is women’s usable age.

38-45

Sincerely, that must be difficult to deal with. My maternal grandfather died at 54, and I remember thinking of that often when I was in my early 50’s.

I'm 35 with a 3 year old so I just take life one day at a time

Damn Cody. That is rough family history.

I understand your concern as an older Dad.

I turn 40 in a few months. Clearly, middle age starts at 45, perhaps even 50. Right….. right?
Depends on how you've aged and feel. I figure I'm middle age now in my 50s. Only real issue is needing reading glasses the last few years. It is definitely better than I expected. Im older than Redd Foxx and Carol O'Connor when they were at their peaks and they looked like shite. Thats what I thought it would be to be 46 and 50. It's not.

Have you seen the protein craze?
We’re all getting jacked as a society and healthy in the gym. Stay away from drugs and 90-100 years old is the new norm
