For men, the genital profile reverses. The dick used to hang lower than the scrotum, in time the balls will droop to a lower level.
Also us poor men seem to spender longer on the toilet seat and less time in the barbers seat year on year.

Not caring about small issues

I used to watch football and play computer games in my spare time and pay little attention to news or current affairs. Over the course of my 30's, that's now completely the opposite.

Never even hearing of the most streamed artist in Ireland on spotify this year. I don't think I've ever heard his name mentioned. I must be completely and utterly out of the loop

I meet up with a few lads at XMas for pints. The chat used to be about women and the craic. It's shifted the past couple of years and it's about the kids now.

It's a loop you're better off well out of!

I find my boobs really starting to sag...... it wouldn't be too bad only I am a man.

Having to walk down the stairs in the morning one at a time. My knees seem to wake up 30 minutes after I do.

Funnily enough in the same boat and we all have kids but we never ever talk about the kids. Probably because that is exactly what we are trying to get away from.

My barber asked if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed!

When parts of your body start to hurt without injuring it.

A night in with a cup of tea and something on the telly is just wonderful. Also, getting your good clothes from M&S.

Footballers look like children.

I can’t figure out what’s the big panic to get the pubs open.

A few years back my missus decided that my Ralph Lauren rugby top needed replacing after about 15 years. So for my birthday she bought this awful rugby top from M&S. Something her 72 year old father would wear.

I was so offended I point blank refused to take it and we went back that weekend to swap it...for socks I think.

You turn down the radio in the car to see where you're going.

When you are older than the Taoiseach (Varadkar).

I find good looking women in their 40's way more attractive than good looking women in their 20's.

When you would rather chat up the mother than the daughter...:o

Is it just me but do younger women in their early 20s seem a lot more (ahem) plump than in my day 20-25 years ago?

When I was a teenager and in university I can honestly say that I cannot recall any or at least very very few overweight young women. Honestly these day teenage girls and women into early 20s are a lot heavier (ok I'll say it..fat).

Just spit it out man....:) Ya it's the gear they are wearing, some of the clothes they are wearing could of been painted on. I blame instagram... Their was big women back then too, but we were more active back then.... No phones to stare into and think for us.

Last year I had to travel from Cork to Limerick by train for a sort of mini reunion. I flew into Cork and straight to train station and said to myself "Sure I can get dinner at the station and have a few pints" like I did many times up to about 2004 when I travelled from Cork-Dublin by train on a regular basis.

Got to the station and no pub/restaurant. I was informed that it shut about 15 years ago..:o .so I had a long dry hungry wait for the train.

Until I hung up my boots I was always an equal opportunities employer in that regard!

Making up excuses not to go out
Thinking more about the hangover
Music is way too loud in the pub
"Who let their daughter out dressed like that?"
In the pub and dreaming of getting home to bed
Nose and ear hairs

Signs that you're getting old
