hogmaw Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I just realised that I will be 40 next year. Wow time flies. Does that mean I will be an old git? If I have a Supra, and wear 'youngish' clothes, will I be an old git, trying to act like I'm young? Is 40 the new 30? Is this what a mid life crisis is all about? Questions questions.

hogmaw Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 30? Been there done that. One of the best ages to be - young enough to be still 'young', old enough to be wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 It actually gets better. 44 soon. Not an angry youngster trying to drink the bar dry and when I don't win I can say it's cos I'm old. Got the money , got the house:), got the character , had the women and got the car[GRIN][/GRIN]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I don't mean to be rude - but what makes you think you're still young at 39? Cos you are only as young as you feel, or the member of the opposite sex you last snogged, ans she was 23........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 40 Haa.. You think that you got to go from 30 to 40 quickly didn't you ? you thought that last ten years just flew by.... wrong ! In about two years, you will be 50 - honest, hapened to me, I was just there waiting for "life to begin" and then I realised I had missed about half a decade. Not all bad though, in my 40's I bought a Supra, joined a great club, had some brilliant car holidays to Scotland, France etc. Got selected for G.B veterans fencing squad, fell in love (to the wife again) and became a grandad ! Hope 50's will be as good. Saying all that I'd still exchange my right testicle to be 30 again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cos you are only as young as you feel, or the member of the opposite sex you last snogged, ans she was 23........... Damn. I'm only 37 and my g/f is 40. I just aged 3 years in 5 mins! For those of you worried about 30.... I was going out with a girl when she hit 30 and she treated it like the end of the world. I was in my late 20s at the time and couldn't understand the fuss. But when I hit it, I did find it a bit of a shock - didn't feel I could claim to be young anymore and wasn't sure what I'd achieved. Haven't achieved much more these days - although I earn more and have better cars - but not worried about 40 in a few years. Happy with my life.

Pot Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I like to think I'm slightly prepared for my 30th, especially as all I've had it "1 more to go till the big 3-0" from my housemates... Damn them, the young whippersnappers at 25 and so on... I can almost feel the joints stiffening up as I type... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Life begins if and when you wake up in the mornings. At 47, Im careful not to try too hard to fit in with a young office staff and to some extent, a young forum membership. My attitude is naturally childish anyway, so combined with my incredible age, I think I take the middle ground ok. Not too Victor Meldrew, not too giggly adolescent. My biggest problem is how to deal with feelings toward young attractive women....one womans attractive older man is anothers pervert:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 My partner is 44, and she is still young and as good looking as the day I first met her... Life begins at what every age you what to be mate... Take each day in your stride and live life...... :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I too am 47 and find that in my head I still feel 21, but my body can't keep up. I wear clothes that I feel comfortable in and still have an eye for the ladies, although I now know that I have more chance of pulling a muscle these days!! I enjoy my life and I dont say "oh I'm 47 I should be doing this" its a case of "so what if I'm 47 I am doing this for me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 In the words of Aaliyah, age aint nothin but a number. But seriously, my mum and dad still have a fantastic social life in their late 50s, it's what you make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
