I wonder if the really crazy old people we notice are just the ones who were really goony when they were younger. It isn't like "The Greatest Generation" were exempt from having their anti-social sadbrains.

I have less than 4 yrs till retirement.

1. Im one of the few old dudes lifting 90pd+ dumbells among all the young lions. Getting asked to spot them makes my day.

2. Whenever I get the chance to play an instrument in a public space it's always a young person that inevitably says they wish they could play a guitar, piano blah blah blah. Still draws women to me like flies on honey & I still suck as much as I did 20+ years ago.

3. Switched from cigars to mostly pipes. Smoke mostly aromatics when not alone & have never had any SJW pontificate to me about the "dangers" of 2nd hand smoke. They love my vanilla/highland whiskey cavendish blends.

4. Switched from beer to scotch or rums. Can't drink like I'm still in college anymore. I haven't had a beer since the summer.

5. I dress a lot better now. More sport jackets/ brogues & less hoodies/nikes now. I now know how to tie a Eldridge or Trinity knot and look for award to black tie events.

Are you concerned that the Alzheimers may force you into early retirement?

i'll add to that by saying that you should keep your rear end busy as a senior. if your line of work allows it (and if you dont hate what you do), don't just quit but part time it. im only 12 y/o, but after i "retire" i figure ill still put in a day or two a week until im dead and gay in the ground.

I'm about to hit a point where I can no longer pretend I'm not middle aged. The best part that I've found about getting older is the way the aging process just molds you into a being that doesn't give a gently caress. You may be viewed as a jackass by the young people whose opinions matter more than yours, but you just don't give a gently caress about that either. It's great. It's incredibly liberating. Look, you see those elderly guys at the beach who are wearing sock garters and shorts? Laugh if you will, but make no mistake - those guys aren't oblivious. They know. I mean, if you point it out to them, if you ask them, sure they realize that they look absurd. They don't care. You know why? Because sagging socks are uncomfortable and annoying. And also, gently caress you. Who cares? They stopped giving a gently caress about wearing cool clothes or keeping up with trends decades ago. They stopped caring if some fourteen year old kid snickers at them. They stopped trying to be physically attractive to potential sexual partners. Oh, to be sure, they can still be sexually active, but the people who'll gently caress them also stopped caring about sock garters years ago. They just want to catch some rays, maybe float in the ocean a bit, and get drunk tonight. Reached 60 or 70 and you're not dead or bed ridden? Super. Being cool, hip, or responsible is for suckers. And you shins and ankles feel snug and secure. You ever wish you could be one of those cool as hell people who gave no fucks? Age.

My favorite part about aging is old man strength. I work out less than fifteen years ago but, because of having to chase my kids around and be the person in the family who has to lift anything heavy, I'm lifting about twice as much weight at 38 than I was at 23. I moved last week, and there was a lot of heavy lifting with me and my 20-something strongest friends, and I could hoist up with one arm more than any of them could with two just thanks to experience and core strength

A lot of the elderly regress into children and their filter disappears. I went to a senior center once and they actively wished death on other seniors, saying stuff like "wish that old bitch would just die."

"You shit on the post. Why."
I have learned for myself that the healthiest thing you can do regarding aging is not caring about it. Just go at your own pace, do what you want to and can do, not what xx-year old you should do. Worrying about your age and comparing it to others constantly is a surefire way to get bitter. I know because I almost went down that road.

Most of us goons will be the loud old people on the net when we are, on average, old. Instead of shaking our fists on the porch, we'll probably be soft-trolling the newer generations online or some poo poo, and they will curse us like they did baby boomers.

I'll be dead honest, old age mostly bothers me for vanity reasons. Eventually I'll have to drop that someday, but at the very least I'd like to be a spry, wiry old odd man instead of the typical "I gave up on fitness a long time ago" pudgy old guy.

Lose as much excess fat as you can, and put on enough muscle while you are still young so you aren't completely helpless. And honestly? If I died of a heart attack or a stroke while going out for a morning jog, I think I'd be alright with dying while doing something like that.
