    I want to hear from the posters in their 30s and older (pfff, there's like 3 of us) here.

    My looks and energy and libido are going! But I'm experiencing a certain joy that is different from anything else I've felt. My life is getting in order, I'm learning how to rest, and my outlook is more developed. I still have fun, but I don't need as many distractions from reality.

    How is it for you guys? (they should have an aging section of the forums *hint hint* :))

    I'm even enjoying being cranky. It's weird!

    About the only real change I've taken note of is how my dreams are becoming more lucid & prophetic over the past 2 years (getting to the nearly annoying point). Oh and my cholesterol is thru the roof.

    I've not only found inner peace, but find that assholes don't really get to me like they did when I was much younger. :)

    My life has been good for the most part. The last 4 or 5 years of my drug and alcohol abuse were rough followed by getting married to the Devil's concubine. That was hell. But, all in all, I've really had a wonderful life.

    I have accepted my fate. I will have Gallagher hair and need Cialis. Soon.

    On the plus, pussy doesn't rule my life like it did 20 years ago.

    I too have accepted my fate, but to quote Jim Kelly in Enter the Dragon "When it happens, I’ll be looking too good to even notice" [​IMG]

    I'll be 30 in 3 weeks. I think by the time you get into your 30's you pretty much have yourself figured out. You know your weakness, are more humble and begin to realize what's important in life. I don't like losing my hair though.

    My mind seems to still think I'm young and old people still call me a kid. But I got married when I was 28 to a woman that is ten years older and has 3 kids so generally my like got in order real quick. And I've noticed the the women I find as attractive has widened a bit even up to 60s so anywhere from the 20s to 60s is good for me. But I do HATE the reading glasses.
