At what age does your body start to fall apart?

[pink]

Do you ever feel that way, like you body is gradually breaking down?

 

[sufisaint]

Although cliche... forty is the top of the hill...

 

[parodyluvr75]

My mind broke years ago.

I can still fight!

In my early 40s I used to go to the gym and see the guys in their 20s, and I'd pine for the days when I was in my 20s with a fit body and able to throw around the weights. It was depressing because I thought I was competing with them.

In my late 40s, I realized they weren't the competition. Guys my own age were and it made me happy that I was, and am, in far better shape then most men my age. 50 is a key age for men: Some go downhill really fast and look 70. Others stay active, fit and healthy. And that's the key... staying active, fit and healthy.

Having a huge todger is a plus as well.

I thought you were having a Great Week....what the fuck now?

I'd says early twenties; twenty-one, twenty-two.

I've moved thousands upon thousands upon thousands of tons of dirt and stone by hand, one shovel and one wheelbarrel at a time, since I was a kid, plus the hay bales, trenches, feed bags, and lumber, and then there were the buckets of stone and dirt, also the shingles. Oh, and concrete, and lots and lots of concrete bags.

Also the trench digging and steel beams.

So yeah, I'd say early twenties, it's only been a year or two since I stopped doing stuff like that every day. I still sound like bubble wrap when I crawl out of bed, but I'm alright after about an hour.

What made you start feeling old?

Nothing, Lance, I was just curious.

I'm 48, not a youngun anymore.

It depends on how active you were when you were younger, and what injuries you suffered when you were very active.

Mine started to break down after 40, but then again, I suffered multiple injuries to my foot, ankle and knee when I played soccer.

 

[PayDay]

I forgot to mention the jackhammers and transmissions and paver stones and pallets and demolition debris.

 

[PleasePeesMe]

It's mainly attitude

I'm 67 and although bits hurt now and then, I feel great most of the time. Attitudinally, I feel about late 40s/50.

 

[Aquagal]

Def 40's.

Today I'm feeling 65.

I'd say the sixties with a huge caveat. The life you lead influences the outcome greatly. I've in my mid fifties now, graying at the temples - but I weigh the same I did in twenties and maintain many of the same activities and level of fitness. Many physical things I've better at now because I know what I'm doing. Eat healthy, stay active, and be gentle with yourself and I think it becomes nearly a moot point until you truly reach the endgame.

When I look at my peers and watch the varying states of decay I see two causes - genetic (inherited diseases) and choices (bad diet, lack of exercise) starting to take it's toll. So, the genes are just luck of the draw - but the other is all about the choices you make (or don't make).

(I'm joking. I don't have a big todger. I'm not even sure what a todger is. So actually I may have a big one and not even know. )

I think it means penis.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Some people don't even speak the Queen's English!

It was better back in the olde days when everyone here spoke like proper gentleman and debutantes.

Todger: noun: As if we don't have enough of them already, this is yet another word for your willy, or penis.

I'd never head the term "todger" until Keef Richards autobiography came out and he talked about Mick Jagger's "tiny todger".

Queen's English? Um, no. We in the States kicked the Brits out, then stood up to them again some years later. Chips here are what they call crisps, chips there are fries here.

 

[parodyluvr75]

Oh jeezus no! I don't have one then.

I don't either, I always have to borrow them.

[Wild_Honey_66]

i'll be 49 this year, and other than feeling a bit slower, i'm doing pretty good!

i've noticed that basic things such as exercising, getting enough sleep, and staying well-hydrated really do make a difference.

more than age, the stress of divorce has affected me. i'm telling myself it's temporary.

 

[eyer]

We in the States...

Oui! And then there's parts of the country where you need another dictionary - French to English - and there's California to English....
