But that depends more on the availability of dodgy Viagra pills and borderline illegal pornography, and you generally need to get older and wealthier to get those.

If you are able to go to the toilet and clean yourself up without assistance If you can chew and digest normal food without aid. If you are physically able to do the basic things we all take for granted Then you are still living in the golden years. Enjoy your prime. It could go away before you know it. Working at a elder care facility taugth me to apprieace the really small things in life. (What really scared me were the handful of suprisingly young patients who had suffered stroke or very early dementia)

There is a noticeable drop in cognitive abilities at a certain point. At least you learned what to do long ago and took steps to make it less painful for others.

Seeing my almost 100 year old greatgrandmother hobble around for years and later on 90 something year old grandmas gasp in agony while god and machines they were connected to refused to let them die gives you a certain perspective. Basic functionality is enough and I don't/didn't play sports so that 20 year old physically active period was indistinguishable from now. At least I've got no chronic pain so far despite being north of 40.

yeah sure perspective etc. appreciate what you have etc. etc. but that's not the point of this thread. if i can go to the bathroom unassisted, but i can no longer race cars, climb rocks or paint miniatures or whatever, then i'm no longer in my prime, even if i'm not totally enfeebled. i mean sure i'd be happy to be able to walk without a cane or something but i'd still lament not being in my prime when i had the reaction speed of a fly and could crash cars and walk away

At the risk of sounding corny, your prime years are whenever you decide to make them your prime years. There's no euphemism for some things. Your lost forevers are: * Your body will get worse, that's just how it is. * Your memory will get worse, but that depends on a lot of factors. * The earlier you get rich the more you can enjoy life later on and worry about less poo poo. * More importantly, your skin is a one way-trip. Everything else can be mitigated with working out, taking vitamins, being healthy, whitening your teeth, but your skin is a one way trip to getting shittier. And taking care of it feels like placebo exactly because you don't make it better, you just prevent it from being shittier. So whether you're a 40 looking like 25 or a 20 looking like 50 it's really up to how many hours you burned under the sun without sunscreen. Otherwise that's... it. Not like that isn't a lot. You can look fit. You can be bald and look good. You can get hair transplant in case you don't want to be bald and look good. Unless you looked absolutely incredible then getting older as a man is more of an improvement for getting laid than it is for a woman. I met a californian dude from a country band here in Rio and we chatted, dude was in his mid 50s and invited us to his beach house. Like, I'm pretty sure he's living a life in his mid 50s considerably better than I lived my life in college stressed as gently caress over the 2 hours back-and-forth travel, working to pay for it, and having to do well in the tests when I was tired as gently caress. I'm 35. My favorite type of outfit are suits, formal shoes, ties. My girlfriend and I feel like men waste their fashion choices by looking like randomized sims instead because instead of looking like a cool John Wick character people just never take care of themselves. There's just so much poo poo you can do, and while what "poo poo you can do without looking weird as gently caress" is a constantly moving range I don't think there's ever a point where you can just shut things down. Live in the moment. Plan for the moments you'll live in the future better than my slum-born rear end. And don't regret the things you did that were fun for you. If you had fun grinding the poo poo out of WoW and that was the most fun you had at the time, then don't see it as wasted time. Most people live lives so miserable that you can't possibly fathom. Most people live lives so devoid of entertainment that even I, someone who lived a loving lovely life, can't imagine. Most animals end up being eaten alive by something after spending their days in a loop of searching for food. If you had fun doing whatever it was that gave you fun, be proud of it, and be happy that you had moments of joy. If you want to do something else now, go do whatever it is you want. If what you want to do is work like crazy and that gives you joy, do it. If you have the means to do the things you want, or pursue them, then that's your prime, because you'll not have the past back. If you can't, then yeah, that's how lovely life can be. If the benefits you have from your current life outweight the pain from sleeping slightly wrong in your 30s then just go loving enjoy them.

It’s the ages of roughly 5-7 when you can fall out of a tree and land on your neck and spring back up completely unharmed, as compared to adulthood where you can injure yourself sleeping and have to rotate your entire body for a week to look side to side because your neck hurts.

Mine were those ~3 years in my early thirties when I rode bikes a lot and got so light and strong it felt like I could fly Even as a kid I never thought I would ever feel such confidence in my body, so as it slowly fades I'm not sad it's over but glad it happened

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfq_A8nXMsQ I think the idea of prime years is something that a lotta chain smoking, heavy drinking, abestos-clad people from 1920+ told themselves after medicine advanced and they were till dropping dead in their 50s and it was perpetuated by 21st century north american males coming into financial and social security in their mid 30s, which usually coincides with a lot of beer & junk food. Generation Z is way ahead of the curve since they dont feel the need to get blackout drunk every weekend.

Yeah, goons tend to be older, but 40+ years old in 202X is often not as awful as 40+ in the early 20th century/anywhere else in history. I mean, until we hit a sufficient microplastic concentration we get Resident Evil style zombie urges, but oh well.

I never had kids so 42 is just as much fun as 22, if not more so since I'm not a broke bitch anymore. Hangovers are a bitch now, so I do definitely pay for a late night partying a lot harder than I used to, but otherwise gettin old isn't bad (so far).

in a perfect world, it would be in your 30s. by that point you'd ideally have finished college, including any graduate and post graduate education, have a stable job and family, and feel free to enjoy life. but the reality is that it's more like your 20s. at least, physically speaking. but once you start your 30s you start noticing your body starts breaking down in ways you didn't think it would for several more decades. it's quite surprising and depressing. i have several different kinds of potentially long term injuries, all of which suck in their own way but the worst being the RSI i developed in my fingers, probably due to (no joke) constant posting over the past 20 years. in a world where our entire lives are run by computers and the internet, this is especially cumbersome. which makes me really wish i spent more time taking advantage of my 20s

Never drank or did drugs when I was younger, though because I am a loving uncool nerd square, but I contribute that to my good health in my 40s. I would say I’m still in my prime at 43 until my body breaks down in a way where I have to take it easy; then I can say I’m starting to feel old.

How did you figure out how to stop aging? I'm 35, single/no kids, and there's no way in hell I'm as spry as I was in my early 20s and I'm healthier than I've literally ever been. Back in my early 20s I would eat like poo poo and never exercise because I have a stupidly high metabolism (which thankfully still hasn't slowed) and I would have energy for days, doing an all-nighter was so easy. I also never did drugs or drank until 33. Now that I'm eating healthier and working out a 5-6 days a week (I hope to get fit, build a bit of muscle but nothing too crazy) my energy levels are way below what they used to be. Before midnight I'm already tired. I can basically nap at all points of the day now whereas before I'd never even have to consider it.
