When did you first realise that you were ageing?

When I realized that smoking 30 cigs per day and going to gym 6 days a week for two hours after three years off sports was not working. Had to cut the time in the gym....
When I was 25 was way easier to pull this out

So last night was pretty cool, I was walking down the hall in my building and a cute 21 yr old college student looked up at me, made eye contact, and said, "I love your hair, you've got great hair!"
Hell yeah! Third compliment on my hair in just a few days, I must be doing something right, haha!

It's a double edged sword: on the one hand, the answer is when I started to care about hairline or thinning. On the other hand, it coincides with the time in life I'm making hay and realizing that your stock has been rising as these little things (that don't really matter to women) start to arise.

Experience can only be gained by making mistakes, putting in the time, and trying things in life. No short cuts to gaining experience. Seems like mother nature has a balancing system. Imagine how unfair it would be if those more capable or rich could buy or easily acquire experience.
I realized I was getting older when I started feeling pain in my knees from years of long distance running. Older runners used to tell me to take it easy but I always thought that it would never happen to me.
Also quit drinking because it's just not the same as when you were younger.

I realised when I quit drinking about 18 months ago at 39.
Now I'm in a real hurry to make up for lost time.

- Can no longer work for long, endless hours.
- Have good money like never before.
- My sister called me and reminded me that today is her birthday and she is 30.
- I start thinking about family, marriage, kids and the heritage.
- I think more about family than small goals.

I started going gray at 21. If you’re primarily of Northern European ancestry and you have dark hair, odds are you’ll go gray early.
When was the first time I felt old? When I spent 2 or 3 hours laying on my back on a cold ass concrete floor trying to repair a car. I finished, and it was late so I went to bed. I could barely get out of bed the next morning due to aches and stiffness. I was 32 or 33 at that time. It took a day or two to recuperate from that. It was something I could have done a few years earlier and gotten up the next day and been fine. Since then, I now know that I have limits, and there’s an ever increasing price to pay for exceeding them.
A year or two later I started working in construction. In two months time I had massive increases in stamina and muscle mass. To the point where I was getting hit on by girls in their early twenties. My sex drive ramped up and I could go several times in a night. I then left construction for easier work and everything faded away physically. Two years later I returned to construction and found that the gains were much slower. I was more tired after a long day. Sex drive picked up a bit, but not much.
What I will say however is that although my body has slowed down, I’m mentally stronger than ever before. My mental strength pushes me to overcome physical obstacles and without the foolishness of pride. In other words, I’ll go on a 5-10 mile hike without proper conditioning, but it’s going to take me a while and I’m going to take several breaks along the way. Fuck you if you think I’m too slow.

When I turned eighteen as a virgin.
