What age do you guys start feeling old?

[sdbg]

Feeling old is not about age - it's fitness. In my late 40s, a knee injury stopped my running and limited my cycling. I got fat. Real fat. I felt old and I felt like crap. Everyday was like I had 1 foot in the grave. It was somewhat depressing. Several years ago, the injury subsided and I started cycling again and got back into fitness. I'm 56 1/2 now and feel great. If I can continue to improve my fitness, or at least stay the way I am until I'm dead, I'll be a very happy guy.

I thought it was when I had a long run of sleep diminished nights with a new born baby when I was 48. I was wrong. That passed and now I feel much as I did before, which is generally energetic, virile and optimistic. I know having a 3 year old daughter to care for and play with invigorates me. My wife is 13 years younger and I am deeply in love with her. It all helps, and I value the blessings and genetic luck that I have drawn.

So, I say my perennial answer is – not yet by a long shot.

Iam 26 years old and still feel young . My friend is 28 years old and he feels his young days are ending!!!! At what age do you guys feel that you arent young anymore?

My hair started thinning out on top when I was 27; that was a gut-buster until I went to my 10 year high school reunion where they had a bald-man contest and I wasn't even nominated.

I saw an episode of "Married with Children" where Kelly Bundy talked about dating a man so old that he grunted when sitting down. I realized I was doing that (I was in my mid-30s), so I made a conscious effort to stop (and still do to this day).

The biggest problem with getting old is that my sexual performance has waned. I used to be able to have several orgasms in an evening without getting soft in between. These days, if I want to have 2 orgasms in a couple hours, I have to go to a fuck club with my girlfriend and do the group sex thing. My GF was remembering a young guy at IR Kink in the SF Bay Area whom she saw do every woman at the place (including my GF), except for the hostess and the masseur's girlfriend. Oh, for those days.

At 46, I definitely don't feel young anymore...

In my case, how I feel mentally and how I feel physically are two very different things.

I'm 44, and I definitely feel my age physically (although I do look younger than my age). I used to feel younger physically as well, but 4 years ago I had a life-threatening infection, and two surgeries for two different afflictions (one of them being the life-threatening infection). I have recovered for the most part since then, but I still have not gotten the strength or endurance back that I had from before. I also have knee problems that I think are caused by falling a lot - I have always been accident-prone and fall - usually onto my right knee - frequently. I sometimes have trouble walking due to knee pain.

But mentally, I still feel like I'm in my early twenties! :smile: I still have the youthful zest for life (that many people I knew lacked even at age 19! ) and enthusiastic spirit - love trying new things and having new experiences.

I don't feel physically any less healthy than I did when I was 19, although I'm not as fit but I seldom have the need to run a marathon. Inside do any of us ever feel 'grown up', people ask me for advice frequently and I think 'why are they asking me, they should ask an adult'.

Yup, I know that one.
And sometimes at parties, when there is a great range of ages present, I find myself talking to others who are on the north side of 40 and feeling like they are older than me.
And then I get this deference from the people in their 20s and early 30s, and I remember my age.
Shit!
But seriously, I don't feel any older than I did at 30.
Or certainly not much.
I guess I've had a bit of luck on that score.
Knock on wood.

I have always felt old. I had to shoulder a lot of emotional responsibility when I was young, and maybe I grew up a little too quick in some ways. I don't think I've ever had that optimism and fascination with the world's possibilities that are the hallmarks of the young. When I was in my twenties, it was a sign of maturity. Now, it's just sad.

That's sounds very familiar...

Yeah senor rubirosa I get that one too, although I'm 49 I'm quite capable of talking to someone in their 40's and thinking 'oh aren't they old'.

I did well right up to the late 40's, but everything started slowing down around 47 and has not stopped.

At 50, I do feel as though gay life has passed me by. Gay life glorifies the young. The old (over 50) are just...old...

As others have said, I am definitely much wiser than I was at 25. I wouldn't trade that part for anything.

I will say that the fact that the sex drive has slowed down a bit is actually not all that terrible...I was SO horny when I was younger, now it's slowed down to what I would consider "normal".

One way to answer the OP's OQ might be: the first time "Mr. Happy" failed to respond when called upon. That was the first day I felt the "icy finger" down my neck...

One very liberating thing about being 50 is that, once you're too old to care, you can be fairly outrageous and nobody says anything. There's no compelling reason to try to keep up any more; if you admit your age and physical shortcomings, you can get away with wearing hawaiian shirts, sandals to the bar (a definite no-no when I was young), just meeting people for the hell of it instead of "hoping to get laid"....You are far enough away from the "young" generation that you think totally differently than they do---AND IT'S OK. When you're in your 30's and the "younger crowd" is just a little more hip, a little more "now", and you feel yours beginning to slip a little---that's MUCH worse than when you're 50, you KNOW it's slipped, and you accept it and start to just have fun.

I will repeat: I wouldn't trade the wisdom, even for the younger body and harder dick. Not even for that.

I'm still just as "responsive" and I've got 10 years on you. :tongue: I'm thankful everything in that department still functions perfectly and I'm in great health overall.

It wasn't until the last couple of years or so that I've noticed my age catching up with me. My vision is just now starting to fail me at times and my short-term memory has gone to shit. I've always been able rely almost exclusively on my memory, so that's a bit disturbing.

But, so long as I can feel my way around and someone can remind me what I should be doing, I'll get along just fine. :biggrin1:

The 40s are important.
But so are 4000 posts, SP.:biggrin1:
And you look as fresh as you did at 1237.

Well, I've talked to young people in their 40's and old 19-year-olds... It's a mental perspective rather than chronological age...

I find sacrificing a virgin every month to my dark and naughty master keeps me peppy and perky

 

[B_Italian1]

Some days I feel my age and then some. But then there are those days when I feel really young. I wake up and feel like I can conquer the world. What I have to my advantage is that I look young. Most people who meet me for the first time take me for early to mid thirties. I'm not sure how much longer that will last, but when I stop hearing it, I'll know that I'm looking my age. Then it's nip and tuck time! :smile:

Same here and I have years on you. Haven't need that little blue pill or any erectile pills for that matter. It's just those little aches and pains that weren't there 5 years ago.:frown1: And a little bit of the thinning hair, too. :frown1:
