I got friends who are 29 and look :flabbynsick: It has so much to do with how you take care of yourself. I think weed is ok, cigarettes no, and definitely keep the hard liquors to a minimum (sh*t like cider, ale, cocktails (e.g. pina colada) and wine is ok), and definitely no hard drugs. Cocaine will have you aging faster than Tom Hanks :sadcam:

My nikka van damme found out the hard way :flabbynsick:

So I'm old too. :old:

I don't have the same energy levels like when I was in my 20. I fell asleep during the second half of game 7. No lie. I've been staying up to watch NBA and NHL. I hate all this over-time crap. I wish they would start the games earlier. :old: I woke up and the game is over. I have to get up for work.

You watch the draft like :wtf: when a 20 year old kid gets a multi-million dollar multi-year pro contract. And then you are like :smh: when he goes bankrupt in a couple of years.

You have more wisdom. Say you are lost in a new city, trying to find a restaurant or business area. Certain signs like gutted out cars on the road, garbage everywhere, multiple boarded up homes, tell you to GTFO. No need to play dumb and drive around like you are lost.

Music, I like smooth jazz more than top 40. I don't hate all top 40. Country music is still lame.

Clothes. I don't dress like a teen or in cutting-edge fashion. I'll wear a team/replica jersey, that's about as youthful as it gets.

Real talk breh, how you 40 and have 2 kids in collage?

Yesterday was my birthday.

:flabbynsick: season has begun,

So I'm gonna tell you the pros and cons

Cons:

I exercise regularly, but trust it's much harder to stay in shape, without HGH or something, put it like this, if you spend 90 minutes a day in the gym, it takes maybe twice that to stay in the same shape at my age.

On that note, take care of your bodies, you will not be able to drink malt liquor and eat buffalo wings every day when you are 40, you will have wrecked your digestive system in 15-20 years time. It takes me two days to recover from a trip to 5 Guys, so I only eat it occasionally.

I still have my hair but it's starting to go and it's starting to gray, but I got a youthful face, so whatever.

Your decisions have a lot more impact at this age because more people will likely be affected, choose wisely.




but there are some upsides young brehs.

My kids are basically grown. 2 in college and a teenager i just gotta feed and make sure he does his homework and sh1t.

Stable career, i struggled for more years than I didn't but now I'm stable, making a very healthy income. Whether or not you are making 6 figures or not, you should have stabilized your debts by now mortgage aside.

I have great credit. :whew:

Taste in music will def change or at least expand, but this may be generational as I grew up in arguably the GOAT era for music, late 70's through the early 90's. Put it like this by your 30's Soulja Boy or French Montana will sound like noise, your ear will refine itself and you will start finding it outside your core genres if you're not already there.

Other people in my age range feel free to add



Answer my question breh I'm not trolling I am 31 with zero kids

The stress part is the only one that's hard for me man. The field I'm in too many responsibilities on my head, too much pressure on me to do well, makes me stressed half of the day man. :to:

i respect the activity % theory, my office isn't too far from my house and I might just walk there on monday and see how it feels, if I like it i might do it a few times a week when I have time.

Breh when I used to be in Africa, I used to walk ALOT like it was nothing. I mean straight 2 hour walks were nothing to me back then.

In USA and Europe we're abit spoilt in that department. I don't think I could do it today.

Yeah, just basic sh*t they did in Asia, shows how fit they are. Like for example, a lot of men in Asia don't sit down, they bend their knees, almost 'til their ass touches the floor, and curl their backs. Try that for 5 minutes if you're a regular American and you will be sweatin' balls :whoo: I'm sure Africa is the same way. I heard them Ethiopian nikkaz be runnin' 5 miles to and from school :wow:

My breh theflu nikkas wonder why i don't drink/smoke....but the funny thing is same nikkas ask how I still look 17 :whoo:

aight let me see anything to add on? to be real nah, thats it. Don't drink, don't smoke/drugs. It might seem hard to some but i honestly have no desire to drink/smoke at all like 0.

The downside is people gonna look at you like :scusthov: cos you don't drink/smoke (someone asked if i was a muslim :what:) but we finna reap the benefits in the future breh.

I already seen some of my old friends starting to look flabby.

Actually..Drinking and Smoking plays a part, but not to the degree that most people think....

Exercising and getting in good nutrition is really the key...

And the most important factor........GENETICS

You're not the first person or the last person to say this to me, but really I'm in a new stage of life. Haha I can assure Nas dyes his hair and does multiple skin treatments and shyt to look like he does. You won't be 20 forever and a lot of you will not age as gracefully as you think you will. You'll see what I'm saying in 15 years.

Is your libido the same as in your 20's?
