Age 40, how does it feel when you get there?
 

If you're 40+, what was it like getting to age 40?

I thought it was a miricle I had made it that far...

bookmarked

That's a good way to look at it, heard the other day that some slate miners in the UK used to have an average live expectancy of 36

Not the best question to ask John Lennon... :(

Guess you haven't heard but 40 is the new 30

earmarked

He made it there for 2 months, then he got assassinated for being anti-war

I'm trying to get as fit as possible, so as I actually look better at 40, less than 2 weeks to go now

The fitness is mostly dependent on running, only injuries can stop me now, or the gout

hahha, good ones!

I'm ageless.

I just hit 40. Nothing much has changed.

That's good to hear, I'm all ready for the big fight, I feel like I have to take my health seriously from here :thumbsup

the real changes are in the head... at 61 there is a GIANT difference in my thinking... the body is a bit worn :)

Nah it's cause you are a lizard person that can keep shedding its skin

Like skiing downhill.

Think of the trees that you have to avoid hitting along the way :upsidedow

maybe a little less exercise, but drink, eat & enjoy life the same as when I did when I was 23... :thumbsup

Nice one! :thumbsup

None of that is true for me. I'm in my 40s and still do pretty much things I did when I was younger.

No bags under the eyes, I mountain bike nothing insanly crazy but I hit the trails all the same. I will climb any mountain I can hike up. I don't do rock climbing type stuff but that's not because of age.

Hell I can still ollie a skateboard. Not that I do it, but I can.. I also hit the gym pretty much every day.

Age is just number, either you do shit or you let yourself think you are too old. Then you are.

I beat athletes in their 20-s in pretty much everything...there is no reason for your body to degenerate if you keep working out hard and eating right...

Better start shopping for a cane now and stock up on the geritol

I'll bookmark this and come back in a couple years :D

When you pass 40 your body goes down on average but your confidence goes up at the same or even at a bigger rate.
I am fat, grey and not very athletic at the moment. I do know how to make a girl crazy though. :2 cents:

The other night I got ID'd, I laughed. I asked the girl I was with how old she thought I was, she says 25.

I turned 33 this summer.

Take care of your body and mind. 40 will not be so bad.

What the fuck were you buying? If it was booze then why did she card you if she thought you were 4 years over the drinking age?

You were probably at 7-11 buying a 6 pack and it was subtle way of checking your id to report to the police in case the credit card was stolen. :pimp

Read again. The girl I was with thought I was 25, not the bartender. They have discretion to ID whoever they like. Many establishments set a rule like "if you think the patron is under 30, card them."

One constant in the universe - you're still a useless cunt.

I am going to be 48 next week. I bike about forty miles a day, I run four or five miles a day, and play basketball. Every. Fucking. Day. I feel great.

Just scope a few 40something babes on match.com and you'll soon see that 40 actually has become the new 30, at least maturity-wise.

For me the reality of being 40-ish didn't really sink in until I was almost 50. ha

Right now after the two back surgeries a few months ago I feel a lot older than I am. Hoping that will change soon.

whoa!!! how long does it take to ride 40 miles?

Speakin' of which...how's the back progressing CD?

Still waitin' on my MRI in October. :(

this is probably cause you are a succesful person, I know losers confidence go down

Ran the tough mudder on my 40th birthday. Might do it @ 50 if I get there :)

40's are fabulous!!!! Love them!

Wow, for some reason I thought you were an old man.

few more years here

So long ago, I've forgotten.

After I turned 40 I started to wonder if the pleasure from taking a huge satisfying shit was actually more pleasurable than having sex.

but still taking hiking holidays, you're doing alright Paul! Especially after the past few years of hell you've gone through :thumbsup

Well done to you x

Three to four hours. I do an hour in the morning, an hour at lunch, and then an hour or two after work.

The fuckers here on GFY fat shamed me into loosing weight so here I am, sixty pounds lighter.... I feel great too.
