I’m pushing 50, fuck you.
Edit: I should mention, I had the same reaction as you at the same time.
The optimal age is 28. It’s late enough that you may at least be hitting a stride professionally (though don’t stress too much if you’re not), you’ve chilled out a bit from your earlier 20’s, and your body (generally) hasn’t begun to betray you yet.
25-35 is a great time. I moved cities and changed careers in my late 20’s, and pivoted again in my early 30’s, and it was a good reset to build on lessons learned and undoing past mistakes, while having the youth and energy to really enjoy myself and actually choose a path I was going to have fun with.
I’m enjoying my 40’s a lot, but I look back fondly on that 25-35 period as being both fun in itself and setting me up for a good 30’s and 40’s (and possibly further).
I’m in my 50’s and I want to be 25 years old.
These kids don’t even know when they’ve got it good. I mean, even being in your 40s isn’t that bad
Just remember in the US these days 36 is middle age.
Literally nothing good happened to me after 30 so enjoy yourself bro
honestly 25 to late 30s is the best.
your an adult that can do whatever the fuck you want, not give a fuck what other ppl think and your body is still invincible.
every hole is a goal, find love and travel the world.
every hole is a goal
ew
Why ?! The quarter of century ! You will to have such a cool age for the next 25 years when you will turn half a century old.
Idk late 30s and buzzing - I think for myself it’s a mindset plus healthy enough lifestyle. And moving my ass daily a lot.
wait until you are at your 40s and things take about 10x more time to heal
25? HA! Try 30. AND still being a virgin!
Pov: You’re leaving your youth behind
Don’t worry! It’s only for 1 year and then you are done!
Thank
I’m 60 in 4 months so I have 0 sympathy.
“Oh noooo my prefrontal cortex is fully developed!”
As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development
Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”
Then you shake yourself back into reality & remember, “…oh yeah, because I was hot & my dick worked.”
Back then: hot, working penis, can’t get laid
Now: older, not working penis, can’t get up
~ 35 is definitely golden era … at least for men. Old enough to be in control of your body and emotions, but still young enough to have spontaneous energy.
Generally more money to enjoy life too
I’d say a bit earlier than that personally (wife and I agree that 28 is around that sweet spot). Old enough to have independence and chill out, but young enough that you don’t randomly end up with a headache all damn day because you slept slightly wrong.
Nah son. I talked over this with my dad, starting career and being independent is the best. Having kids and supporting a family really puts a damper on all that freedom and possible recklessness. Being at school was the worst fucking time ever too, bullies at home and dad being shitty at home.
And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life
And nobody forces you to have kids, you know?
The Republican Party
Yes, I chose to have kids and change nappies, doesn’t make it any less disgusting when the shit starts going everywhere, and a billion other things I knowingly signed up for sucking.
“This is going to suck, and be worth it after”
Later : “this sucks”
You : “LOL NO ONE FORCED YOU AMIRITE?!”We’re in a different political climate than when you were young. Today’s youth can’t afford to have children, and even if they could, they know bringing a child into a world of impending climate collapse is a cruelty.
They’re jealous of your privilege and resentful that you still find the time to complain in front of them even with your good luck. They wish they could care about problems as simple as yours. But alas, your struggles are no longer relatable. They’re just reminders of how good you have it compared to them.
I have a family that lives an adventurous life with me. They don’t hold me back. Kids are so malleable. They don’t hold you back unless that’s the life you create (obvious exceptions for special needs kids may apply).
And “recklessness” is part of my youth I was happy to leave behind.
Older children, sure, but there’s a lot more intense childcare that takes up a lot of time with the baby. I am kinda in some of the exception circumstance, but not with the kid.
On top of that, if you’re the sole breadwinner, you can’t just drop your job to go do some stupid shit, like I did earlier.
“Oh, right, I could get hard without supplements and my bowl movements were so normal I took them for granted”
For me it’s the knees. I can still shit and bang and drink and do all the same fun drugs I did at 25. But I miss my cartilage.
Must be fucking up my 30s. I don’t do any of those things. :(
If you’re not shitting then you need to see a doctor, friend.
Otherwise, if it’s not your jam there’s nothing wrong with sitting it out. In fact I don’t recommend drinking as heavily as I have or take as many fun drugs as I used to (I can still do them but I choose to heavily limit myself) because there are long term consequences.
Saw a Dr.
Cost 200 bucks and he said to take a day off and shit.
JK. I’m pooping fine, thanks for the concern though!
On the bright side, I’m happy to report that I care a lot less the older I get.
Ok let’s trade ages. I’ll take being 25 and you get to be 40.
Child, please.
Enjoy those knees while you can.
Source: Old enough to have a 25 year old kid.
My brain broke a bit the first moment I realized that, if I had a kid the same age my mom had me (early 20s), that child would be over 21.
Yeah, doing a same parallel tracking, I would have a 13 year old. shudder
While I’m not old enough to have a 25 year old kid yet I do think my 30’s have been better so far than my 20’s were!
Haha, yeah.
… Wait did you just lie on the internet??
I never said I was 25, just that I didn’t want to be 25.
What, were you hoping Leo would give you one last chance?
What does this mean? Is it a reference to something?
I assume it’s a reference to Leonardo DiCaprio.
