Little signs you're getting older....

What are the little things you now do that make you realise you're an old bastard?

1. Heading straight for the pralines in a chocolate box
2. Watching mystery TV adaptions from Agatha Christie
3. All your favourite sports players are now whoring themselves out to commentary teams with their puffy faces
4. Your pee comes in two or three installments during the same visit
5. You go to bed fine and wake up with a sore neck

Also if you wake up with a sore neck frequently, try sleeping without a pillow.
 
Pissing in the middle of the night is a big one. Luckily I feel as good at 41 that I did at 21 just not in as good of shape, but still halfway decent. So I don't have too many of these that I can think of.

Another big one is the sex drive. I was fiend in my 20's. Was literally horny 24/7/365. I still have a decent drive in my 40's, but it's not like it was and thank god. It's so annoying/distracting wanting to fuck all the time.

1. 90's movies appeal to me more than ever.
2. I love to go back to older games before considering new releases.
3. I actually think about doing sports and healthy food to not feel shitty.
4. Going to bed early and feeling happy to wake up early to get shit done.
 
When I started seeing characters in movies that I watched growing up and thought "Damn... that right there is a grown ass man". And then realizing the actors were younger than I am now when they played those roles.

I.e. Bruce Willis was 33 in Die Hard and Russell Crowe was 35 in Gladiator. Im 39.

Fuckin hell.

At 47, every morning when getting out of bed I feel like I was in a car accident, just stiff as hell.

Neck hurts, back hurts, elbows, shoulders, in fact I can't remember the last time I didn't have pain.

And yes I wake up 2 times a night to piss!!! Workouts are shorter, recovery takes longer.

You need to invest in a new mattress and office/gaming chair, my friend.
 
One of my favorite fast food restaurants and cookie chains (because I love my m & m cookies, judge me all you want) is located in a nearby college town. I felt like I was surrounded by children.
 
I used to go about my day and just walk or run around, but after covid and so much sitting, my body is super stiff. Now I need to stretch all the time and do more comprehensive exercises
 
Tearing my bicep tendon doing stuff I have always done with no issues.. and now after surgery in cold weather dealing with the after math of pain.
 
All pro athletes being younger than you

Referencing media from your youth and people not knowing wtf your talking about.

Realizing youre closer to dying from "old age" than being born

Bonus lay up - chronic pains

You appreciate the Christmas holidays and time spent at home, try to relax as much as possible to replenish all your energy ready to go all over again at the new year.
 
When you really care about the composition of your diet because it has such a strong impact on how you feel.
 
You take joy in going to bed before 10pm.

Extreme pro-tip for those over 40: take a 10-20mg diuretic 2-3x a week like furosemide. You will feel a bajillion times better. God is great, no lie.

It is a prescription drug, yes. Ask your doc for it. There are water pills you can also get via Amazon but they're not as strong. It seriously makes a difference.

Also, no shame in juicing if you choose to pop Cialis or otherwise. Those in the USA, Hims all day. Lose the ego and live well.
 
- posting on forums instead of discordxtterwhatrvr.

- having a username based on edgy anime from 20 years ago.

- having to watch how close together you eat meals to try and preemptively combat hemorrhoids.

- hemorrhoids.

- occasionally finding nose hairs longer than leg hairs.

- hearing "rizz," and going apeshit.


Edit: - playing a game or something and seeing the oldest character in the main cast that you used to not relate to at all For being such a geezer - is now younger than you.

I for real almost shit myself on the way home tonight. I had 20 minutes to go and no where to stop when it started. A few times I was dangerously close to committing to the idea that just shiting my pants would be better that how horrible it was to hold it. I made it thank God though.
 
When you're talking to your coworkers and then suddenly you realize that you're the oldest one in the room

Tip to the whole thread: Do Yoga and workout. Just one hour a day is fine. Don't have an ego about it and just do it. You can even do both at home while watching TV.

It's either that, or have your joints become more and more stiff and sore over the years, to the point where your posture and walking speed are this at too early of an age:

Filter's coming off. Just gave a lecture the other night stating I'd rather be direct and honest which is offensive. I hate modesty and equate it to politely lying. It's an old grump things and I try to keep that part of me off the forums.

Gray hairs, patch balding slight the last 8-years and have lost 20% of my hearing. Speaking of ears...my ear hair grows like crazy. Didn't have any if that a decade ago.

This has been my thought process after I turned 24 or so. The more sensitive people get, the more fun I have!

I won't do yoga I think, but I will start stretches and some type of workout (resistance bands or kettle bells plus I have to walk. I just love walking )

Because otherwise I don't really move much.

I can have naps in the middle of the day. I couldn't do that at 30, but now only a few years later if I stay horizontal for too long in the late afternoon/early evening after being outside I run the risk of catching 40 winks.

A few years back one of Kevin Hart's warm up acts did a bit about the age of the audience, and said you can't skip a shit when you're over 40 and he misses being able to just choose to not shit. That stuck with me for some reason, so I'm waiting for that milestone.
 
You're starting to say "man, that guy got old" or "I can't believe it's been X years since ...Y"...which reminds you of when your mother used to say that and you couldn't relate to that....which makes you now feel old.

It seems like the older I get, the more conservative I get. Is it because young people are the worst?
