The fear of growing older, it is crippling.

i hope i will bang at least another 300 women before i die.
 
Ever since I was a boy I despised the idea of growing older. Not sure why, but I always felt 40 yrs old was the end of the line for me, in that I had no desire to be older. I feared the gray hair, my body shutting down, and also the 'settling down' idea - be it personally or professional.

For men, we peak sexually and physically at around 35, and mentally we don't come into maturity until 25. So a man's prime years are just ten of them, between the ages of 25-35.

I'm 38 years old and the last two years have been hell for me because I see 40 is approaching. Does anyone else have this fear, or had it and got past it ?

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with the time I have left on this planet. Do I just keep working the usual routine I have been doing until I'm 70 ?


I think most many get this feeling initially during their mid to late 20's because of the big 30. It just reoccurs again when you approach milestones like 40 or 50.

Best bet is to find inspiration on people who are doing it exceptionally well and try to inspire towards that. Look at Jared Leto in his 40's for example.
 
I really have a hard time coming to terms with getting older and breaking down. It makes you think back on your youth and wasted opportunities and life experience. Physically, you just aren't as good as you once were and it's only going to get worse. It's really depressing and hard to come to terms with.

So far, I've only dealt with the grey hairs. My body still feels fine and I don't have aches and pains yet. I do notice that I don't have the energy I once had though and it's harder to motivate myself to wake up and workout every day.

I think the positive thing is we are living in some interesting times with medical science. With TRT and future drugs, we hopefully won't be those shriveled old men that can't get out of bed and have a ton of health problems. You look at celebrities like Stallone who are jacked and look to be in good shape and realize that your bed ridden grandparents are the same age. Hopefully as time goes on, whatever these celebrities are on gets to trickle down to us normal folk and we can live longer and better lives.
