How do people feel about getting older?

I think every woman feels like that at that age

I sure hope so.

Easy to see who all the female posters are;

Female: OH GOD I'M NEARLY 30
Male; Meh

OP - What's the point worrying about something you've got no control over. We've all been getting older since the day we were born, so why worry?
Some people roll over and die, or conform to a stereotype. Of course this need not happen. I hate the way women off a certain age seem to adopt a short hairstyle like a uniform. As if to say goodbye to their femininity or womanhood. That's the only thing I've ever said to my wife - not to crop her beautiful hair into some shorter style when she gets older.

Its nothing to do with saying goodbye to your womanhood, its more to do with facing enormous hairdressing bills. Cutting and colouring grey hair is VERY expensive.

.....when I was 20 I used to think I would have a totally different mind when I was this age but I don't I still think the same just a bit more rationally.....

God yeah, I spent my 20's worrying about leaving my 20's behind and losing all my cool hobbies and interests and becoming my dad watching horse racing all day on TV without putting any bets on, listening to Ronan Collins and the highlight of the day going to bed at 8.30 to watch golf.

Ten years on, I still fkin hate horse racing. AND golf, thankfully. I still like cars and music.

I feel pretty much the exact same as I did ten years ago otherwise...I think. I probably don't like packed pubs or getting smashed every weekend as much but yeah, otherwise the same. No danger of turing into the old man yet.

I hope I'll still be saying all this when I am 40...

I dont think men have much of a problem as they just get sexier. But women, stuff starts to sag and grey hair isn't very nice. Do they go grey all over? Grey hairy legs? A grey garden?

Im only 28 and worried about this stuff already. I have just realised that i havn't downloaded any new music from the charts in 2010. Whereas i used to years ago. Im listening to alot of country music and not embarrassed to say so either. I used to hide the fact that i secretly loved country music. Well the american country anyway. I also cant stand the radio turned up high, it deafens me with the amount of crap thats on it nowadays.

How do other people feel about it? Am i the only one who is worried?

Ah come on now.

I always thought I was grand, never saw age creeping up on me.
But as soon as the nurse that was helping me wipe my arse called me grandpa I knew I wasn't as young as I used to be..

I have very little boobage to sag :P

Really can't see myself being your typical old person, you don't have to change with age, boards is a testament to that, there's no reason why you can't get on with people of any age. Ofc there's nothing attractive about being old and in ill-health, that's why you have to look after yourself when you are young but happiness is just as important as any amount of healthy eating and exercise.

Yeah I'm 19 and this stuff worries me, because you always hear guys talking about how girls are hottest/ at their peak in their early twenties. So I have only 4 years until I start to go downhill?
That's depressing

You think women hit their peak in their 20s you are so mistaken, they don't they hit their peak until their 30s, Promise so you have a long way to go

Sex, drugs, and Rock 'N' Roll keep one young and healthy :P
