Ageing Thread
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:03:22 pm »
Now that I am 48 I feel like I have some questions about ageing. And I realize a lot of you guys are quite ancient.  I was told by my eye doctor when I was younger that I would need reading glasses at 44 but no one has told me the more important questions about ageing.  Answer as many or as few of these as you like.   Don't be shy I know you guys know the 411.

1) At what age will my hair start to turn gray?

2) At what age will I need viagra?

3) At what age  will I find women in their 40's attractive?

4) At what age  will I start to bald?

5) At what age  will I get aches and pains?

6)  At what age  will I feel nostalgia for the music of my youth?

7)  At what age will I start worrying about eating enough fiber?

8)  At what age will I take the elevator instead of the stairs

9) At what age will girls in their 20's no longer hit on me in bars?


11) At what age will I need a colonsoscopy?

10) At what age will I need Depends under garments?

12) When will I get dementia and think Bob Dylan can sing well?

13)  When I will tell those kids to get the hell off of my lawn?

For your, hopefully in about five years.

Is this going to be your vanity thread, like Smackie has one?

Oh, boy! This promises to be some fun reading. Think I'll I'll go off and pop some popcorn awhile.




By the way Atomic, at what age will you finally figure out that everyone of those will tend to be different for each individual?

Well my eye doctor said almost everyone who needs glasses for distance needs bifocals when they are 43 or 44.  I thought everything was like that.

Well, for what it's worth, I started using bifocals, or progressives, in my 30s, except they are for close up viewing since I'm far sighted. Rarely use them when I'm driving because they actually make things a little worse and I see better without them, unless I have to read a map or something.

As time goes on, my vision keeps getting worse. What really annoys me is that I use to have very refined vision which was better than 20/20. It sucks now and I find that the glasses, or lens, themselves get in my way. I've also found that I've been making a lot more visual mistakes, like typos, because I'm tending to look less at what I'm doing and assume something is what I think or want it to be while all I'm doing is glossing over a mistake because I'm just not seeing whatever it is clearly enough.

3) I never had any given age as a criteria for attractiveness.

9) Has more to do with wealth than age.

None of these answers are useful without your age.

BTW, in America it's spelled "aging".  This isn't jolly old England.

Really?  That is a terrible way to spell it.  Doesn't even make sense.  And why is it ageism here in America then and not agism?
