re: What Do You Think Is "The Best" Age In Life? For men...and for women

Whatever age you are right now

Today has officially replaced yesterday for me.

The odds are extremely high that tomorrow will replace today in about 17 hours from now.

You ladies need to put down your purses and get in the game of living.

You’re either busy living or getting ready to check out.

I got this around age 25.

My dad told me this and I have in turn passed it along to my kids.

There is nothing you can do to speed up or slow down time so you better enjoy the season you are currently in. When you are in grade school, college, young independent, married with small kids, the parent to teenagers, empty nester, retired or old living out your last days enjoy it.

I’m betting you’ll get a variety of answers based on people’s ages.

I’m 55 and I would say it depends on the definition of “Best”.

Best physically for men is late teens and early 20s. I could do things physically back then that make me hurt just thinking about.

As I’ve aged it’s more and more alchemy to stay somewhat in shape - watching my diet, sleep, how much I drink, supplements, and the list goes on and on. Even with all that I’m not 1/2 the physical specimen I was in my 20s. For my age I’m well above average but looking at most men my age that’s pretty meaningless.


Mentally, from a temperament standpoint, I really like where I am now. From a mental acuity standpoint maybe not as much but I’m still pretty smart and where my brain isn’t as sharp as far as picking up new shite quickly (I’m studying for an additional FINRA license right now and the struggle is real) my years of experience make up for it. I know a lot because I’ve seen a lot. Somewhere along the way I’ve become the wise sage in the room.

Sex wise is a tougher call. There were definitely some aspect of the game better when I was younger (rapid recovery comes to mind) but balancing that out is knowing so much more about a woman and how they react has me leaning toward today. Plus, starting in the mid-40s or so, women stop playing games or I stopped putting up with women who do. My GF right now is successful, independent, and doesn’t play games. We both have lives that are pretty busy and may text 1-2 times a week and then talk a little on the weekends. It’s long distance so we do the long weekend thing once a month but the nice part is there’s no games and no time table.


I would also add, I now have the resources to enjoy experiences I didn’t when I was younger get which is nice as well.

I may be smarter, but you're not.

As a woman - late 20s to late 30s physically

Mentally - right now (early 40s)

Maybe bc idgaf

I’d suggest mid-30s to mid-50s…
If you married well, worked hard and stayed in decent shape.
Your family is growing and growing up. You’re coaching ball, loving outdoors recreation, volunteering at church. You’re being promoted at work and you’re super valuable to your employer. Hopefully you can afford a nice vacation every year.
