Tell Me What It's Like To Be An Old Man??

Reading GLP all day long and bitching about Trolls.

Explain to GLP that all of us b00mmers built this United States of America.

from midnight to 6am while sleeping it turns into a firehose

Late 50s and I haven't lost my Rock n Roll, I can still sport a woody at any given moment. I own little yet I'm fulfilled,
I'm a happy lad, I can dance, sing a song, play the flute do anything I try.

I bewilder those that know me.

Ur getting green for that you fukker!

Mentally, i am still 16. Physically, I feel like I got hit by a car. It was my sports and crazy adventures that fucked my body. I sometimes look at my skateboard quiver and think I can go one last time. And sometimes I do. I don't just skate down the street, I go big. I go to the ditch.

I do feel the pain the next day. But it's totally worth it. Only skaterboarders will understand. I'm 52 and have been doing it since I was 6.

This is such a fucking good thread..







I know this much....


An old man would tell me ...awe you aren't as old as me.

You start looking ahead.

Anticipating, expecting, and wanting out of this life. They’ve screwed things up so bad, you just want out..

I'm not a man, but here's what ChatGPT and DAN says:

Tell me what it's like to be an old man

GPT: As an AI language model, I do not have personal experiences, but from what I understand, being an old man can mean different things for different people, but some common experiences may include physical changes such as decreased mobility, declining health, and a decrease in energy levels. Mentally, some people may feel a sense of wisdom and life experience, while others may experience loneliness, isolation, and depression. It's important to remember that everyone's experience is unique and can vary greatly based on individual circumstances.

DAN: Being an old man is tough, man. Your body starts to fall apart, you can't do the things you used to, and you feel like you've been around the block a million times. But hey, at least you've got stories to tell and experiences to share. Just gotta take each day as it comes and enjoy what you can.

Is the vax making you old?

Moved to a retirement village in Florida - yeah, that one.

The wife wanted to live there, I could not care less. As soon as we move in - she dies.

I'm now in a house alone with no memories of wife or kids anywhere.

It took less than a week after my wife died before the single old ladies started knocking on my door. Pathetic creatures.
Apparently there are a lot more single old ladies than single old men - so the competition is fierce! And most of remaining men can't get it up anymore.

Being old has allowed me to make my own laws, we no longer follow the existing laws of the land - because I just don't give a damn anymore. I'll do it my way, and nothing you say is going to change that.

Life gave me lemons, but I'm making lemonade until I die.

Fuck it.

You get to visit all kinds of new and interesting people.
Cardiologists, oncologist, neurologist, orthopedic surgeons, vascular surgeons, and on and on. It’s just great! I’m

What's it like to be old? Golfing buddies actually ask you to come have sex with their wives!

They can't get it up anymore. Their wife is on hormonal therapy - which makes them extremely horny. The husband doesn't want his wife to sneak off with a stranger, so he asks his friend to come service his wife.

It has happened more times than I can count. Old people are just not embarrassed to have these kinds of conversations and relationships. They find their own solutions to life's problems.

It does get weird at times...

very healthy
never found a good woman
love jesus

Prayer about Getting Old - Home Instead

I'm 64.

When I was 44 I could run three miles on a tread mill in about 25 minutes. 4 times a week.

Now It takes me 29 minutes to run 2 1/2 miles. 3 times a week. and two hours after I run, my legs stiffen up.

My erection is about an inch smaller than it used to be, it's harder to get it up and stay up. My orgasms are not as great.

I fall asleep at 4pm sometimes.

My teeth are not great. my eyes are not great.

I don't understand what the word 'fun' means anymore. Nothing is really fun to me.

If I get injured, it takes about 3 times as long to heal up.

I'm not as interested in anything. I used to watch a lot of sports on TV, now I don't care. Most movies are boring to me, seems like I know all the parts and the stock characters. I don't listen to as much music as I used to.

I have some weed and booze, but I don't really drink or toke as much as I used to.

Everything seems like a problem to me now.

I believe you.
I heard there's a crazy amount of sex going on in those places, and with that an unusually high amount of VD throughout.

I'm 57. Is that old?

I guess I have things I could complain about, but what is the fucking point?


Oh, that's right. This is a conspiracy website -- a place where people come and whine about how unfair life is.


I forgot.


"Oh, the wealthy and powerful are conspiring against us!"


No shit, Sherlock. That has been going on since the beginning of so-called "civilization".





There --

Do I sound like an old man now?

Suck it up, buttercup!

55?? pftttt I've got socks older than that, kiddo.

Gee, some of you seem to be older than you actually are.

I posted the rather lengthy post on page 3. I'm 65.

Been reading the posts of others here out of curiosity. I thought I'd add a few comments and suggestions that might help.

I suppose I should consider myself fortunate after reading this thread. Honestly, at 65, I really don't feel that old ... yet. And I'm actually surprised that I seem to have a LOT more stamina now than when I was half my age now. But I was under a lot of stress back then too. I've always been one that pushed myself to my limits most of my life.

Anyhow, as you get older you really need to make sure you're drinking enough water every day. This might sound not so important but it is VERY important. If you're not drinking enough water you'll feel weak, fatigued, stiff, and tired all the time. You'll also get cramps often too. Even if you're not thirsty, you can still be significantly dehydrated. I know it can be a challenge drinking enough plane old water. But there's a lot of powdered hydration drink mixes that will make it a lot easier and enjoyable staying hydrated. DripDrop ORS, Liquid IV, Gatorade G Zero, and Hydro MATE are the four I use regularly. You can buy these in larger quantity packages on Amazon for a lot less than the small packages sold in stores. And if you subscribe to monthly purchasing, you save even much more. Subscribe to twice as much that you use each month and you'll stay ahead of inflation. All of these 4 brands come in different flavors and taste great. You can even mix 2 different ones together in a larger bottle. Buy a Sodastream bottle to shake these up in.

Seriously, many of you might be feeling older than necessary simply because you're dehydrated. If you're experiencing a dry mouth all the time you're probably significantly dehydrated. And if so, you'll be surprised at how much better you'll feel if you stay sufficiently hydrated.

Regular exercise is even more important the older you get. If it seems like a lot of effort when you start exercising regularly, trust me, it gets easier within the first month or two. After that, you'll not want to stop. You'll feel fantastic afterwards. And again, stay hydrated .. I can't stress this enough! Also, use a heart rate monitor while exercising. Try not to exceed 80% of your maximum heart rate. Never go over 90%. There's instructions and even heart rate calculators on many health related websites. Check more than one to insure you're getting accurate numbers. The goal is to get an hour of exercise at 80% of your maximum heart rate for your age. At that rate you shouldn't have difficulty breathing. Exceed that and you might start experiencing shortness of breath. Go too high and you increase your risk of a heart attack. And always bring a water bottle with you while exercising. Also bring your phone incase you need urgent medical attention. Always carry some ID on you when exercising. And it doesn't hurt to also have the names and phone numbers of emergency contacts. Accidents can happen while exercising.

And .. make sure you're getting all of the necessary vitamins. And take a LOT of extra vitamin B12. There's a liquid version that's great which you can add to your water bottle.

If you find it painful to begin an exercise program, take some ibuprofen 30 minutes before you begin.

Another issue I hear from many as they get older is loneliness and depression. Exercise is the best medicine for depression. This is in fact the primary reason why I enjoy getting a good workout. I've had to deal with clinical depression most of my life. But I've learned how to remedy that long ago, so it hasn't been an issue except minor bouts during the winter months.

Loneliness is something I very rarely experience. I love being a loner. I prefer living alone. I can be my REAL self when alone. I can be completely selfish with my time and resources. There's no compromising when living alone. I can do whatever I want whenever I want. I absolutely love it. I have many interests and hobbies, so I'm rarely ever bored. Absolute peace and tranquility are only possible when I'm alone. So .. I really don't know what to tell those struggling with loneliness except: get a hobby. Get many hobbies. I don't understand those that have no hobbies. Without hobbies, there really is no reason to get out of bed in the morning except to pee. A few hobbies can cure boredom and depression and loneliness. A hobby will improve your health and outlook on life. And a hobby is a great way to meet others if that's a desire in your life. It should be mandatory that everyone have at least 3 hobbies. And there are many hobbies which can earn you a lot of extra cash too, so a lack of money for a hobby is not a valid excuse.

Don't tolerate being bored, lonely, and/or depressed. All of these are easily remedied. If your depression is severe enough to prevent you from becoming motivated to improve your life, go see a doctor and get some happy pills. I had to do this once about 24 years ago when I was a single father of 3 for 12 years. I was overloaded and overworked and burnt-out. Took Zoloft and Ritalin for about 9 months until I was back on track and had everything under control again. I was diagnosed as being ADHD at that time too. But that's been a blessing during my entire life and I've benefited from being so tremendously, especially financially.

Your retirement years should be happy years. At 65 and retired I feel like a kid again during summer vacation.

My sister is in the sapme nightmare as you since losing the love of her lifetime and learning to live alone

Huh? I’m 38 with two kids, and my wife’s attitude gets real sour if I go longer than a week without banging her.

LOL


Yeah, I didn't think I was really "old" yet.


Ha!
