Dating my age or older blows goat because all the chicks (and out of the closet gay dudes) are horrendously fat, divorced, have around 4 kids, and want to try and party like they're 16 again.

Better to stay out of the water and watch them all drown.

Should have specified -unmarried- women. Sometimes life's unfair and great women never met the right guy and are single later in life. However, I would never turn down a cool chick with kids. Sometimes life just happens :shrug:

Yeah, I'd go back to 18 if I could, but wisdom is worth a lot. I'd do things a hell of a lot different now than when I was a dumb 18 year old. I can't because life doesn't work that way so I will be content being a wise elder :corsair:

What did you do with it?
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?

Skydiving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'
And he said, Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dyin'

I also turned 30 in November, maybe its because 50 still seems like a long time from now, but I think 50 is about as long as I want to stick around. It's all downhill from there

Can't eat spicy food like I used to. Hangovers when I overindulge make the next day a lot worse than before. Getting dates or hookups is a poo poo load easier although not as much in my target range. 27-33 would be preferred but I keep hooking up with 38+ and under 25. The older ones typically have baggage or convey a sense urgency that becomes a turnoff. The younger ones just aren't where I am. Everyone I meet in my target age group seems to be married or in serious relationships.

I need to leave CT is the bottom line.

Oh and my mom asks me constantly why I don't want to get married. She seems to think I just refuse to go to the wife store and make a purchase and I'm single because I choose to be. She started acting like I didn't want to get married 2 months after my last relationship ended with someone I lived with for nearly 3 years and was with for nearly 4. Her issue is wanting grandkids but no amount of telling her that as a single man in his 30s there's really no minute of any day I'm not looking. She thinks I'm picky, which I am but whatever. Finding someone special isn't proposing to the first girl you date. I date and haven't found someone yet with long term potential.

Bored yet? Yeah me too. This is what you can look forward to if you have a family like mine. Constantly being reminded you're not getting younger and having to explain that the girls you've dated haven't been worthy of long term. And rather than waste everyone's time forcing a relationship that will end in a few months, or God forbid a year, you end it quickly and move on.

I'll be 35 in March. I've been less focused on this the last few months. I'm at my parents house now for the holidays but ignore the little comments. It'll work itself out on its own. Feeling pressured has made me go out with people that I know before the date aren't going to work out. I'm not going to let the pressure get to me. New Years res may be to take up an activity and meet people that way. Meetup.com for example.


Thanks for reading.

nothing, but I am only a 4.0 tennis player now and can't hang with the 4.5 guys which is irritating. Also I'm not hitting my 7 iron 155 anymore but the thing is both of those were slow progressions. It isn't like you wake up one day and say "gently caress I'm 40 so I'm useless" it's just that poo poo slows down

on the flip side neither of us is fat and we are paying off our second house in q1 2016 so that's cool!

37 myself. It takes a helluva lot more to get me angry than it used to, which is nice because I was never a hothead so now I'm just never angry. Sometimes going down the stairs in the morning I'll step wrong and my knee or hip will hurt all day, that's sort of lame. Also not feeling the need to go out all the time not only save money, but it's relaxing. I'd much rather just sit in my lazy boy with a drink and my tablet than go to a bar. Also not worrying about money is nice.

I did have a heart attack a couple of years ago which sucked, but in a way it's for the better since my metabolism is a lot slower than it used to be so watching what I eat and getting exercise is a good idea.

I do wish I hadn't inherited my family's hairline, though.

Yeah I'm doing well with hair and other age related poo poo. Most of the time people younger than me think they're older than me. I mostly get 27 or 28 "30 tops" and turning 35 soon that isn't bad.

Well to figure it out you can do this weird thing where you imagine back to when you were 10, and the span of time from then to your current point is the time is the same from now until 50 - 20 years.

Every time I do that weird thing it fills me with uneasiness though. I don't like to think about my past life, too dark.

I always was given to understand the utter contempt GnR had for the fans was one of the main attractions? Like the whole crowd is a groupie hivemind and Axl is the abusive spouse.

This cannot be overstated enough.



Also, every time I stand up it sounds like my ankles are breaking. Not painful, but it's getting embarrassing.

Also, if you're in you're 30's and need to lose weight DO IT RIGHT loving NOW. DO NOT WAIT.
It gets infinitely harder after about 40.
