Nice photos. Some of them are obviously hard and a few are 1/2 hard. Most are well built. It's too bad that most guys don't stay well built as they age; too much effort I guess.
Effort is definitely a factor, but not the only one. As guys age it requires more exercise to keep in shape. More exercise -> more time required. Age-related problems often dictate that exercise be less strenuous. Less strenuous exercise -> more exercise time to get the same workout. So we have two independent factors requiring ageing guys spend more time in the gym, pool, whatever.
At the same time, responsibilities with family, job, etc. often increase so the ageing guy has less time available to spend on fitness. One thing I've noticed with straight guys is that while the wife and family might SAY they encourage the guy to exercise more, every time he tries to actually go and DO it some kind of crisis/problem that requires his attention mysteriously appears. It's sabotage, of course..... but just try to get the wife to admit it.
The older I get, the more things in my life seem to require other people to co-operate, acquiesce, or at least do their jobs. Yup, I totally agree that an ageing guy has to make more of an effort to stay in shape, but effort by itself is not even close to enough. Yes, it is too bad.
Anton, as an older guy here, I understand what you're saying, and I've experienced similar things from trying to live a straight-laced life (no pun intended) and always trying to do the "right thing."It wasn't until I found myself kicked to the curb (for reasons that still elude me) at age 35 that it dawned on me that maybe I'd based my life on factually inaccurate information.
To the younger guys here, my advice is to follow the Golden Rule and beyond that do what makes you happy. Trust me, you will NOT get rewarded for making yourself miserable.
@hornyguy269 Not a problem. Some nice additions!Sorry about some of the pics being posted twice.
where in texas?I wish I were somewhere cooler hanging out with a bud or too. Just platonic stuff but it would be nice. It is too hot in Texas.
