Who said your body has to stop being at it's best once you've reached 50 ?  To me, if you can "stand at attention" in the mornings and perhaps once in the evening, than you still have spunk to get any woman - no matter what age. MEN TEND TO GET LAZY-- WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE BODY GETS LAZY TOO.  Don't let your drive shaft go down the drain because your 50+ and have started to age.  AGE IS WISDOM + KNOWLEDGE.  But on the other hand, if your body (drive shaft) only looks down at the ground, then perhaps you might purchase a new rocking chair so the both of you can sit through it all. In any event, Get out there and have some fun.  Keep that blood in your body moving.  When it moves .. you need to move with it. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE YOUNG MEN, THEY'LL GET OLD TOO!

Because we tend to have preset expectations of where we are "supposed to be" at any given age.  And those expectations often have very little to do with what might be best for us at that particular stage in life.\n\nWe're living longer and longer.  27 is *young*.  You very well could have at least 70 more years to get married and settle down. What's the rush?  Enjoy yourself and spend time getting to know who you really are.  There's plenty of time ahead for romantic relationships.

whut? \n\nhow old are you and what do you like to do.  It'd be good to find a career doing something you enjoy doing.  Figure out your priorities-- making more money or having more time, for example.

Hey girlfriend I'm 44 and I'm in the prime of my life and I feel young and I been told I look young for my age. We are still young. 40 is just the beginning. Don't think so much about death Just be happy and live everyday to the fullest. I sometimes get scared too but all I can do is pray and ask god to at least let me live as long as my father did and he was only 67. Now you tell me that is young Huh? So see we are still young. Actually younger guys ask me out. The older we get the better we look and feel!

The older I get, the more thankful that I am getting older. Why stop the aging process? Life does get better with age.

OLD?  At 40??!!??!!  Hahahahahahaha!\n\nNaaaaaaaaaaaaah.  First of all no one has energy to be outside when it's so hot.  I do it but it's torture and depressing for me.  \n\nYou have some depression and also lack of motivation.  They're connected.  It would help if you could find something to be interested in, a hobby of some sort; even regular exercise is a hobby, it will make you feel better about yourself, and you can do a lot of things without any expensive equipment.  You can exercise to music or while watching tv, too. Or take some free classes at the community college and study something new to exercise your mind.\n\nDon't bother with vitamin supplements; just be sure you get the MDR's but don't overload; even too much Vitamin C can be bad for you because it weakens the walls of the arteries.  There are no miracles here, no magic pills to change your life.\n\nI sometimes go thru a cleaning frenzy and I feel good about it but how often do you need to do it?  I get energy by being interested in different things, and I never feel I have more time than I know what to do with, and I don't need to go anywhere (except in my mind).\n\nListen, you want to meet educated guys with good taste, etc.  As one of your answerers said, you're not likely to meet them if you're not more like them.  Why don't you see what kinds of free or low cost classes you can take in music or art appreciation, etc?\n\nHang in there.

I am almost certain the most intelligent answers come from us older, more experienced persons in Yahoo Answers.  I am 44.  Youth has its merits yet I wouldn't go back to some of the dumb things I've done.  I am perfectly happy with my age, gender, body size and all the memories I've had are a testament to my life.  Sharing answers to some of these youths gives me pleasure, whether they take my advice or not.

yeah art i know how you feel im 52 with a terminal\nillness, yet there are days i enjoy watching my grandsons ask stupid questions, knock heads and stuff, and not to mention the few undead friends i have both smart and dumb these are the days i enjoy but they dont happen that often so yeah i know how you feel. so if your not as busy as i am go out there and get back at everyone who pissed you off in the past, thats fun and constructive, so uh\ngive it a shot.

Not at all! You have years of working ahead of you and you should spend them doing something you enjoy. Lots of people have changed careers in their 40s and 50s.

You have an old soul. Chill! Enjoy things in life and take advantage of your age because you are only young once. You have the rest of your life to do grown up things which are stressful!
