Is turning 40 such a big deal?

As a gay man seeing a 'scene' full of kids and a homelife full of uncertainties - not necessarily in a bad way! Should I feel trepidation at soon to be turning 40?

    It's a relative thing, younger people who see 40 as being old are probably immature, and they are the ones who will have a wake up call later in life.

    Becoming 40 wasn't such a big issue for me, and neither was 50.

    I'm not far off 60 now, but I'll never be more than one day older than I was yesterday.

    i imagine it truly is a lot hitting 40 yet that would not should be a foul element. As a time for taking inventory of ways a lot/little you've acheived, you're envisioned to have sown your wild oats, discovered a secure occupation, probable own your position and placed a needed different, little ones and so on. yet this isn't the case and extra and extra human beings interior the 40's, 50s and older are by marvel loose and unmarried back and hitting the city. i'm now 40 4 and characteristic finished extra in my life because hitting 40 than for the perfect 20+ years as your priorities change as you earnings age and know-how and the various of binds loosen like babies starting to be older. I have a chum in her 50s who even as celebrating her birthday stated it change into the recent 40 the position life starts because individuals stay a lot longer so 40 is now no longer "center age" What you want to do is to ascertain objectives that would nicely be less difficult to fulfil than they could of been even 10 years in the past and ignore your age as some on right here have stated it truly is in straight forward words a label like a attractiveness.

    The most difficult part for me was telling my mother that there would be no party, black balloons, bottles of Geritol, or canes.

    The thing I've noticed most over the last few years is that I just don't heal as fast as I used to and joints I damaged many years ago have become very effective barometers; If the ankle hurts wait for rain, if the knee hurts that means there's a huge low pressure front moving through, if the shoulder hurts that suggests a high pressure front moving through.

    None of this is life threatening. I am in an unusual situation that has the potential to be life threatening, but teaching my nephew to drive a manual transmission isn't related to my age.

    You'll be fine. In advance, Happy 40th!

    Nope, not a big deal yet, but you miss someone to say a sweet good morning to, right?

    This is my favorite dating site. You can get a free id or only pay $15 for 3 months for premium. You set the range of ages, preferences, etc, and you get a lot of room for profile. At basic membership, you only get 2 outgoing messages a day. Dennis runs a good site and it's non-profit basically.

    Silverdaddies.com

    And there's someone out there that your age and experience will be preferred.

    Well if you take good care of your health, not brag about how the good old times were, and act a little like a child, then you'll look good even in your 40's.

    Here are pictures of 40 year old people..
