Grumpy old man syndrome....I'm only 38, but I already feel it coming on in waves...when it comes I'll rant at whoever is in the vicinity about the 'state of the nation', 'the bloody government', 'that old bitch Madgonna', 'the frigging weather' etc...etc..etc...
It's not so bad, but I see myself turning into my Dad, he's lovely, gentle and sweet, but man, get him started and he'll rant and rave about something for HOURS!! And it could be just a bird pooing on his Jag, or a few leaves on the lawn!!
Grumpy old man syndrome is a global phenomonen!

LOL eddy a little bit like Victor Meldew ? :biggrin1:

Eddy is that like the "Gucci syndrome"?
My friend Tom started calling me "Gucci' on my last birthday.
You know;
"Hey you old bag"! :biggrin1:
I thought it was pretty funny!!

Besides after having "Extreme Unction" at least 9 times
I'm just grateful to be here at all and I think that getting old is great plus "you don't get to be old being no fool"!*

Whats to hate?
The wisdom gets better the influence is stronger the control is well disciplined.
When things start to sag or droop or fall off then I may start disliking getting old....

Getting older has never been anything I worried about since it is something
we all must face. It's life, wonderful life, and better than the alternate
condition!

Actually, I love getting older and being older. If I were not my age, I would
have never had the time to do all the wonderful things that I've done in my
life so far. I would have missed all the awesome experiences, never enjoyed
the myriad of places, people and cultures from all over the world. And, I'd
have missed making the friendships that I have....and that I greatly covet.

I began to turn gray at 18 and when my hair started to get thin in my late 20s,
instead of combing it over, I shaved it off and have been a "Mr. Clean" type
ever since.

I creak, snap, and pop here and there, and some things don't work as well as
they used too, but it is better than not working at all....:wink:

I sincerely believe that your "True Age " is not your chronological one, but how
old you feel inside. I feel a perpetual 18 inside, even though my outside may
belie the fact in a bunch of ways. Many of my friends whom are younger than
I are Waaaay older than I in the way they live. Surrounding yourself with friends
whom are younger, as well as older than you, I believe also helps keep you stay
younger and active.

Sexually, well, I have absolutely no complaints.....actually, I think it's better now
than when I was younger. Knock wood!

well grey hairs isn't always due to aging :) soooo yah... I had grey hair at 15 and didnt even go thru puberty till I was 22. Honestly, I'm happier now in my 30's, built better, and feel a sense of acomplishment that I didnt have in my 20's. I really don't think you should worry about aging, more so worry about how to do it the best way possible to be happier, healthier and with less stress then you have now. :)

OC, I wish I could see you when you turn 60. I'll bet you are even hotter and harder than you are now! :wink:

I have had grey ball hair since I had testicular surgery in my 40's. I hate how it grows back like a bristle brush so I keep it trimmed back.

Yea, the knees and back just don't seem to be as virile as they use to be but most of that is my own damn fault. I did some heavy weighted squats without a spotter years ago and am now paying for it but I am still active and am only ocassionally inconvenienced. Some people are in pain all the time and can't get out of bed so I consider myself fortunate.

The worst for me would have to be eyesight. I can go through a pair of glasses or even sunglasses like it is fast food. I had laser surgery to open the fluid ducts in my eyes to stave off destroying the optic nerves so that is good.

I'm going to head on over to the what's good about aging thread and get into the "juicy" stuff!

As a diabetic since 18, I have gone through operations for diabetic blindness and cataracts; so now, I am a little more limited in my driving, working, and recreational activities, as I have acquired some tunnel vision and night blindness. And various new conditions crop up each year, requiring more medication and care, so my youthful freedoms of being able to stay overnight with friends or take off somewhere spontaneously are also limited. I have to plan for these things carefully with pill cases and coolers for the insulins. And the high medical costs keep me down, too.

Next in line is the continuing loss of old friends.

And last is the increased lack of respect in America for the elderly.

But I am still fighting to stay healthy thru diet/excercise/care, and try to have fun when I can.

The pool of acceptable men my age is dwindling. Fortunately younger men seem to be getting smarter, hotter, and more interested in me. :biggrin1:

here are 2 older men below

Some patients TIME queried had no reaction to Viagra whatsoever. Others have had more ambiguous experiences. Consider Irving Mesher, a 73-year-old retired New York City firefighter, who currently lives at a family-owned nudist resort in Pennsylvania's Pocono mountains. He describes himself as "sexually motivated" and "very active." Thanks to injection therapies (prostate-cancer treatments six years ago left him "semihard"), he has been having sex--by his account--as often as three or four times a week with several girlfriends in their 20s. Still, he was eager to try Viagra. Taking a 50-mg dose the first time, he was pleased with the results: "About as hard as it can get." However, a subsequent experiment with a 100-mg pill backfired, having no beneficial effect, as did a return to 50 mg. Mesher nevertheless plans to continue with Viagra, inspired, perhaps, by the example of his 70-year-old best friend Frank, who took the drug last week and "turned into a monster." The two are planning to invite several friends to a Viagra party.
