For those who are 30 and over...
 

How did it affect you? I´ll be 30 in 3 months and it hasn´t affected me yet but I´ve noticed some of my friends also turning 30, especially guys, thinking alot more about their life, even wanting to settle down finally...

30+ is good, very good.

The only downside is life gets shorter

ive got another 11 months till im old as fuck (30)

I have to walk with a cane now and my eyesight ain't so good. Other than that it's great. I listen to Perry Como and pet my cat and watch my soaps. I love it. Plus everyone is so nice to you.

I feel great! especially because everyone says I look alot younger. We'll see how I feel as the day gets closer...

i will be 30 in 6 months also!!

---another way to look at it:


You are half-way to 60


:warning :warning :warning

You shouldn't even be considered a real adult till you hit 30... :winkwink:

Just to make you fill better i´ll be 30 in about 5 years :winkwink:

30? No effect. 40? No effect.

I'm going to be 30 soon :(((

Each new year is a smaller percentage of our lives, you should be used to it by now. ;)

I don't think 30 was as bad as 31 was - I did however start seeing my memory fai, my body change, lots of changes - more reserved and less fearless was the one that took me by surprised the most.

The only potential downside to milestone birthdays is if you feel you haven't accomplished what you set out to do - for example, some women become distressed as they approach 30 if they aren't married, don't have kids, etc.

For guys, I think it's more material: Do you own a house, condo, etc.? How much are you earning at work yadda yadda.

Personally, I don't sweat any of it because when I look back at my life it feels like I've lived twice as many years as I have - and if the second half of my life feeis as long and is as interesting, then I look forward to it!

I'm so happy to still be young :D

You're right Kevsh. I had bought a property about 7 years ago and wanted to have my home built by the time I was 30 and that hasn't happened. I think that would be the thing to bring me down some...

As to marriage and kids, no stress there, I can wait a lot longer for that...

Age is just a number. It is the state of mind and body that matters. I know young people who look and act old as fuck. I am 38 (scaring the shit out of 40) but I don't feel much different than I did 10 years ago. I actually feel better in a lot of ways. Just hitting my prime.

Don't sweat it Susan, its all good. Have a happy birthday and enjoy it. Just remember that however old you are getting, it sure beats the alternarive.

It's great for the libido if your F. Gals finally start catching up at 30. ;)

It's funny because being 30 didn't really hit me until I was about 32. :) Thirty was a fun milestone birthday, but I didn't "feel thirty" or anything. But a couple of years later I started to notice my priorities were shifting more to comfort and security than fun and bling.

I'm also 38 and feel the same way. I still look 30 or less so that helps.

Dead is a long fucking time!
So enjoy yourself while you can. :2 cents:

Cheers,

30 was good, 40 was better :)

I definitely do notice the hormonal changes.. damn I NEED a boyfriend!!

The girls are easier and I have more cash. I would have to say I am enjoying the 30's.

:thumbsup

show us your tits, we'll tell you if you're getting old.

yeah its super.. :) :thumbsup

Sorry honey, not gonna happen!

It only matters as much as you decide to let it matter.

I'm 7 years past that point.. No big deal.

it didnt bother me its just a number. Live a full life and none of those number will matter.

You'll be ok. I still havent done anything different.

Mentally I'm a bit more off then normal
Physically I changed
But my focus and drive didn't...

33 here =)

turning 30 sure beats the alternative.

life begins at 30

You're never too old to have a new dream ;)

Everyone I know over 30, myself included, feel like life instantly somehow gets better than ever.

i'm 31. no big deal. has not affected me yet.

same here

30? what dose the Dr. says?
before you go to him take a look
enjoy it.

hahahaah SO TRUE!

(thank god!)

1st 30 wasn't bad it's the 2nd 30 that's a bitch :helpme

Youth is wasted on the young - wait till you hit your 50's and really start to live - at 30 I had kids and debts and wife who married me because she wanted tall kids - at 44 I was single parent trying work, pay off debts and bring up 2 teenage girls - at 54 I'm married to the hottest chick on the planet, live on the beach and enjoy myself - who would ever want to be 30 :)

:thumbsup I'm with you :thumbsup I had a ton of fun and fucked all kinds of women when I was young.

well I'm older than you, still fucking all kinds of women but I seem 2 enjoy it a whole a lot more. slow hands

not married and don't want 2 get married.

don't forget to record Antiques Roadshow on the PVR

:winkwink:

the statistics are against that.

women who really WANT to be married should have their antenna up for avail men between the ages of 21 and 24, when the best guys are pairing off.

so-called career gals that think they can wait have about a 50% statistical chance of never marrying simply because of the lessening of quality available partners each year they wait.

they are sitting at home watching oprah, and waiting for the phone to ring.

i could explain further, but the message is clear---if you want to marry a quality guy you need to be looking early in the game.
