Grumpy old man thread

[spectreman]

56.5 here. What bugs me most:

• Takes way too long to recover from hard workouts & injuries,
• Getting up to pee 2-3x a night, only to stand there waiting for it to dribble out,
• Ear & nose hair, and
• Chicks no longer dig me.

I'll be 55 next week. Getting old sucks. Shit's starting to wear out and show its age. Enjoy your youth because you'll miss it when it's gone...

I can't wait to get old.

After 50 if it doesn't hurt I know something must be wrong. My prostate has been a PITA for years; I used to be able to write my name in the snow, now I can just dot the i. I can walk across the room and forget where I was going. This aging sucks but still beats the alternative.

This is a guy I call Bobby 2 twats. When I check to see if he is still alive. 50 years of roofing as f'd him up. Don't get old.

I am 38 and about to have my first child. My shoulders, knees, and back are shot due to sports and the military.

Absolutely epic hat, though.

What age takes away in physical ability, it gives back in wisdom and financial stability. I'm good with that.

I always heard people say that shit would go down hill at 40...I'm pushing 45, they were right.

Tell you what...Reading this thread makes me want to break out the checkbook and just blow it all on a Ferrari or some other absolutely ridiculous toy, equip the passenger seat with a barely legal piece of hotness and just live it up for the next 3 years (I'm 37) regardless of the long-term consequences...

To hear you guys tell it the world basically starts ending at 40...

I just don't buy it...My neighbor down the road (who trains me and is a retired sports medicine Dr.) is in his late 60's/early 70's and the man makes your average cross fitter look like a snowflake. He routinely comments on how impressed he is that I can come back day after day from his (usually grueling) training sessions (chalks it up to my "clean livin' haha).

My dad is in his late 60's and is only just now starting to deal with the occasional freak injury/nagging issue...

I just have a hard time believing it's all fixing to go to hell for me in the next couple years...So unlike the rest of the superhuman SVT'ers you can't see a freckle on a bikini clad coed's ass at 400 yards or do the SVT standard 25 reps of 500lb bench press anymore...But surely you can still spot the blemish at 300 yards and do 25 reps of 405lbs as you cruise around in your mint terminator and live in your giant house that you were able to afford following the near genius level financial and stock market advice acquired here?

I mean come on...give me something to live for...I just can't accept that I'm only a few years away from having to purchase a corvette, unbutton my shirt way too far down so people can see my oversized gold chain and hope that the Viagra and arthritis medication keeps me viable for the old ladies at the retirement home playing bingo...

Aging: the slow drip of misery that acclimates you to the idea of death.

 

[Mpoitrast87]

Life only goes to shit if you let it. If you exercise and eat right then you should live a energetic life. And chicks dig older guys that are jacked.

 

[HillbillyHotRod]

Bah, just a bunch of kiddies on here.

I turned lactose intolerant exactly 2 weeks after I turned 40, now eating cheese makes me blow up like the Nutty Professor at the club. 44 and I get regular bouts of arthritis pain and swelling, runs in the family on my moms side.
Been with the same woman for 20 years, I've told her she is the oldest woman I have ever been with which got me punched hard on the arm.

 

[HEMIHUNTER]

Semi clean living has kept me from being grumpy.
Old, well I can't do shit about that. Except act like I'm 12 and fight it every step of the way. I'm 62.

Just remembered my 3 of my most favorite replies when asked, "Hey! How you doing old man"?

Reply 1. - I'm still buying green bananas.

Reply 2. - I'm still looking at the grass from the green side.

Reply 3. - I'm upright and taking nourishment!

33 here and as soon as I hit 30, I started getting injured more frequently and it takes forever to heal. I'm going on two years with a herniated disk but whatever...I still hit the gym and run half-marathons and Spartan races.

On the plus side, I still look like I'm in my mid-20's and I'm in pretty good shape. I have a full head of hair even though every other man in my family, including my brother, were sporting the grandpa horseshoe hairstyle by age 24.

I have no REAL complaints.

Now get off my lawn.

We old bastards need for you to keep earning at a high level, I need someone to fund my social security check that I will spend on Viagra, hookers and blow next decade while I complain about the useless people in the generation after mine.

I will also need money for dry cleaners as stripper glitter is a mother ****er to get off of clothes, so chop, chop, get to work.
