I have noticed at 30 that my neck gets sore now and then if I sleep on an uncomfortable pillow. Never thought I'd have to use bengay or icy hot on my neck but here I am.

the best thing about being mid-30's and a dude is girls can't do that eye flutter sweet talk poo poo to get me to do stuff

I'd rather take an aspirin and go to bed than gently caress at this point

Op, just a second opinion, but I didn't turn gay in my mid-30s. My wife and I still gently caress like rabbits.

Eh, I spent 17 years walking at least 5 miles a day at work so it ain't that. Plus working on cars in between, and plenty of bike riding.

My point is more that chasing after sex becomes way less important than it is when you're in your 20's. I have so much poo poo to do that if I gotta play hard to get with a woman I'm more likely to roll my eyes and not care because gently caress that poo poo. Not that you stop loving.

38 and still hasn't realized that you don't mix wine with other alcohol because it leads to skullcrushing hangovers.

No, but most days I'd rather just whack it than go through the effort of sex. Most days, certainly not all. There was earlier talk of getting to see bands live before they sucked, in my life I got to see:
G'n'R, Metallica, Ministry, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Hole, lollapalooza before it sucked, Butthole Surfers and many more my old brain can't remember right now. Oh, and Jane's Addiction.

32 here and someone mentioned it earlier but its so true: I consider myself pretty current on current events and internet poo poo but when I watch TV or see tabloid magazine covers I'm constantly like "who the gently caress are these people?" Like yesterday I'm walking through the mall and I asked my wife who the gently caress "5 Seconds of Summer" are and she had no idea either but apparently they are huge? I don't know I guess they're like Justin Beiber? And people from YouTube show up at awards ceremonies now like celebrities and people take pictures of them? I'm a pretty hip cat and "with it" but I have no loving clue what kids are into these days and I don't think I want to.

Yeah, women simply realize they are both getting close to the cut off for healthy babies, and are old enough to realize all that "good girls don't want sex" thing is bullshit, so they wanna get laid.

He has a really nice beard though. I can't grow a beard for poo poo.

You and me both. Despite having a good job and education, I still feel empty and unfulfilled, which I suspect will only multiply greatly once I hit 30.

This is the reason I gave up on online shooters. I wasn't the best when I was in my prime but I could hold my own playing Halo, and Counterstrike. Now I just stick to single player games, and I play on normal or easy difficulty because I don't have the time to invest on some of these games that are 60+ hours . I have made an exception for Fallout 4 I spend more time working on my home base than doing the game missions though.

I don't know when I lost patience for long games, but I have. I bought Planescape: Torment off of GOG a while back and just wasn't able to get into it like I could when I was a sweaty nerd in college.

The thing that makes me feel old the most is music. At least locally, most of the kids I teach listen to country or the folk music that is making GBS threads up rock radio stations now. When I was in school NOBODY listened to country or at least ever admitted to it.

It's very refreshing when some of the kids actually listen to rock, metal or rap and not some faggy lite-rock/folk like Imagine Dragons and whoever sings that lovely Renegades song. How did we not learn from John Denver and the like ruining rock radio in the 70s until some markets started "lite rock" stations especially for their lovely music. We need to do that again and they can whisper over their acoustic guitars, clap a day chant all they want on their own station.

e. BTW, I stream music most of the time, but in my classroom/shop we have to listen to the radio due to network filters blocking all the streaming services with language filters.

I'm 32 and I live with my wife and her parents. Moving out in a few weeks into a large house that I can't really afford. Wasted my 20's by being a goon in a relationship. On the other hand, we didn't have Tinder then so being single/dating wouldn't have worked. Anyway, probably gonna have to knock her up soon, I guess that's what you're supposed to do.
