As prompted by a combination of old age and Bluebell...

Some may have noticed I whinge a lot about gettin' on a bit now. Was 35 last bidet which is the traditional halfway point of life and have really started to notice changes. Some good, most not so good. Will display them in list form...


Good Things:
Comfort

They say you get more comfortable in your skin as it begins to pool around your ankles year on year. This totally took me by surprise by being true. Those long, long, very long years of teen-angst and of twenties-hedonism are now settling into thirties-easy living. Most of the foolishness that seemed so very important before is now revealed for the innate stupidity it really is. Who gives a fuck about what people whose opinions mean nothing to you think about your minor quirks, foibles and faux pas ? Not me. Not no more. Not no way. Not no how. This is a great relief and probably the best thing about getting old. Can only get better too, I suspect.

Bad Things:
Nasal Hair

Never even noticed it until I hit thirty. Now I have one rogue nostril hair that extends horizontally. Just one. But straight out like a ruler and needs regular plucking whenever it reaches sufficient length to get a grip on. It's not the end of the world but I could certainly live very happily without it. Other minor hair quibbles include three crinkly pube-like ones 'pon each nipple which also need plucking when viable. Also a few stray grey pubes when I'm too lazy to keep nicely clean shaven like a good boy should.

Middle-Age Spreadage

Was always tending toward the chubby but the podge gets podgier by the year now. Always had a barrel chest and a damn fine set of breasticles (a nice and perky B cup that many a woman my age would be proud of have been my constant companions no matter what size I happen to be at the time from puberty onwards) but always had a somewhat concave belly. Flabby even when I sported the heroin chic look and me 30" waist trousers hung off me child-bearing hips like they were but a coat-hanger. But always somewhat caved-in looking. Now that belly bulges somewhat and peeks out into the shadow of me baps in the noonday sun. Not exactly pretty but actually rather pleasing to the touch if I do say so meself.

Excess Intestinal Gasses

This is the one I dislike most. I now seem to fart like a trooper when not in company. Thankfully my anus remains tight enough to keep it in when others are present despite many years of squirting drugs up it and the occasional forays into the wonderful world of prostate massage. Anal seepage is fortunately not yet a problem but I hear becomes more of an issue as you draw ever closer to the nursing home and nappy time all-round again. But the gaseous emissions most definitely are a problem. Like chemical warfare in here some days. I live in fear of the Geneva Convention. Never known so much gas to be emitted from such a comact area. Fuck knows where it's all stored before release. Perhaps it is related to the above issue of spreadage.

-----​

These are the main notices I have to put on the table for now. So fellow geezer/ettes - and those lazy young scamps who are still lagging behind - what say you on the matter of wrinkydom present, wrinklydom past and wrinklydom to come? Are my small pleasures and minor bugbears mine and mine alone or is it a shared experience? Hopefully the noxious cloud one will not be a shared experience cos passers-by could be rendered unconscious if we set each other off in a built up area. Think WWI trench life. Not a pretty picture so feel free to raise the tone above the waistband.
 
We're pretty much of the same vintage. I can confirm the excess gasses are of no fun to neither myself or anyone else.


I have always plucked nasal hair as I find it to be quite unatractive either on men or women of any age.

I have spread and shrank in equal measures. Please read reply to some other thread. This will explain. I am a fat kid inside that wants to break ( eat ) through. I try and keep that in check.


Depends on the drug as to how comfortable I am in my skin. This has nothing to do with age for me: FACT!
 
Impressed with your use of colour and underlining Shammy. Still got some skills, even if you are an old codger.. ;)

Personally I hope the whole confortable-in-your-own-skin thing will counteract any wrinkly and saggy bits as I get older.. and the knowledge that it gets everyone in the end! Sometimes I get in a panic and spend a lot of money on a moisturiser that sits on my shelf and hardly gets used.. for the best I say, far better to grow old disgracefully and not give a fuck :D
 
I never knew women had nasal hair either =D "You learn something new..."

I'm only 25 and feel that I'm half-way through my life. I'm seriously going to die at 50, sure of it 8)

I hope I do become more comfortable with being me as I age, but I think I'll still be just as paranoid about my self image in years to come as I am now...
I don't care when I'm alone, but when in the vicinity of others, gah... :\

Anyhoo! Full of downers and should get some early night sleep ;) No use thinking about anything on a slowed-down, zonked-out brain! :)
 
Effie: Moisturisers are such a scam. The expensive ones anyway. Tis nowt but oil and wax in 'em - all the fancy-sounding stuff they advertise them with is such trace amounts tis a total pisstake. 99.9% of them are identical in every way but price. E45 does the same job just as well but doesn't come in as nice a pot, admittedly :\

And thanks for layout props. Not up to my old standards of creating giant uberhearts out of <3 and hiding tunes in amongst it for those that probed my inner sanctum though. Used to get mighty creative in PD social when I posted there regularly :)

Mop: No grey pubes or ear-fur but the odd white pube as mentioned above. Salt and pepper nadgers ftl :(

Monsta: Was convinced I'd die by 21. Then I became 21 and was still breathing so decided 25 was the limit (especially as it was the turn of the millennium so seemed like a suitable time). Then I got to 25 and didn't die. After that I just decided to see what happens :)
 
I've got Chin hairs. Coarse too! I've always had one but now we're going into cat lady territory! NOT COOL!


I keeps up me maintenance though! I do my rituals. I may not always be done up but I do try to look after myself. If not for ones self then for the sanity of passing by children. I can be quite scary.
 
I never knew women had nasal hair either =D "You learn something new..."

Are you serious?


EVERYONE DOES! It helps keep bad things going through your nasal passages and into your lungs. Women just don't normally have Finger length hairs unlike some men. But I've seen a few just on the cusp. HEY! If I can see it, so can someone else, it's getting plucked.
 
It's the ritual of it I like actually. Bubble bath, lotion, sometimes a facepack. I know most of it does fuck all but it makes me feel better :)

Tend to just resort to E45 though, it does the job and is loads cheaper than posh ones! I agree Shammy, the whole anti-ageing expensive mosituriser with pro-retinol-A-super-plant-extractanol is clearly bollocks..
 
I'm 31 this year, but I still feel 26 which is the age I started taking drugs,and i've been tanning booze for years, yet I still get ID'd most times I buy alcohol.

I say keep taking drugs and drinking ;)



(I jest, it'll catch up with me with a bang one day)

You, I, and everyone else knows it does do SOME amount of good. Along with a good diet and good hydration.


I've seen 25 year olds looking a feck lot older and rougher than me! I was still pleased that at 32 I was being ID'd for booze.


I tend to agree with ( I think it was either Kate, Cherry or both that said it) some drugs keep you looking younger.

Weed, G these things relax you. Less worry lines. Somehow, those who partake also don't have too many laughter lines either and I KNOW from experience they're laughing their asses off. It can't just be genetics.




EDIT: Afterglow, You're right, but I wasn't gonna grumble. Think decade just sounds too common and 1.75 score doesn't sound nearly as cool.
 
I also say keep taking drugs including liquid ones, Cherry.

(I don't jest)

Pretty sure I'm more youthful than most middle-aged fella in attitude and outlook even if the aches and pains bely it. Forgot about the aches and pains in the OP. They definitely get worse :|

Monsta: On the self-image paranoia thing, you can't be any worse than I was really. I had "Fuck Life" carved rather deeply into my forearms at your age and had the mother of all deathwishes. Was not worthy. Then I got old and found out I was. Hang in there - it really does get easier. Or you just care less. Probably a bit of both.

AfterGlow: You spotted my *ahem* deliberate error. Was originally entitled "Three score and ten" till I realised that it should be five... I left the "score" bit in for stylistic reasons. Honest :o

Mop: My dick also remains it's distinctly standard self. Have decided it's just fine in the middle ground it occupies now. Goldicocks - not too little, not too large, just nice ;)
 
just common sense for me these days.

drugs in sensible amounts, and of the once a month variety, less if im feeling extra good.

i eat a pretty healthy diet of low unrefined carbs, healthy fats like olive oil and lean protien, of mainly fish and chicken, a little steak now and then, a little low fat dairy and my 5 a day.

drink lots of water to, i drink alcohol once a month max also usually even less than that, and 3 or 4 drinks at a time at the most lately when i do as i get pissed very quick.

also do power lifting and weight training at the gym three times a week, and also go swimming and do a little cardio.

try to get my 8 hours sleep a day, unless i go off on one of these once a month tangents which may involve 24 hours of no sleep (tutt tutt).

and thats about it, not bad for 39 really, im probally more active, sporty, eat healthy than all of my younger mates but it has come about through time, and years of practice of debauchery where it got to the stage where i thought, right thats it ive had enough.

oh and yes im male and i do use moisturiser once a day on my face, lol. nothing to flashy though, and of course i cut my nails once a week and have my hair trimmed every 6 weeks, and thats about it for health, vanity and sanity.

filthiest habit i consider i have is smoking it is going to stop, im more happy taking md or a few lines in sensible amounts once every few weeks than smoking everyday, its been getting on my tits for ages now.

^ At least you can say that. (For now, wait til you're asking your doctor for Cialis)

Us girls have to endure child birth. However, that's what pelvic floor exercises were invented for. Or C Sections.


Yes I must say I'm glad I was born a male.
It's just funny, every year I find it harder to get up in the morning but every morning he's just there, always the same, winking at me :)
 
I find it always is harder in the morning too, Mop ;)

Pelvic floor exercised are great for da boyz too. Help maintain a firm pee-pee when it comes out to play as well as optimising staying power, dontcha know :)

Cherry: Don't fret. I've had stetch marks since I hit the teenage growth spurts. E45 ftw for all concerned :D
 
I know I'm now drunk. Was totally gonna say something odd.


Funny, I don't wanna go to bed but I know I should.


BTW E45 does not rid you of stretchmarks. Much to my chagrin
