Is life worth living after 35?

OMARS_COMING_

I think 35 is the maximum amount of years that a human can really enjoy life to the fullest,its all downhill from there.

Am i wrong?

Johro

Yes.

Einhard

Depends on whether the OP is over 35 or under 35.

murpho999

Fukcen No I agree with the Logan Run philosophy once you reach 35 a light flashes in your hand and you go to carousel to be reborn as a baby.

Its actually alright you still have your hopes dreams and an erection in the morning,

As long as whoever you share you bed with stays under the age of 35 then yes.

Most people's lives are very uncertain and often stressfull in their late teens and 20's with the pressure of exams,finding work, relationships etc. By 35 you would expect to have alot of these things sorted which allows time for the finer things in life. Thats just how things have worked out for me

I hope to god you're right. I'm 22 and feel like like my life is slowly but surely going down the toilet. At least I'll leave one hell of a skidmark on the bowl.

My friend's parents are 46 and 49. They go out partying more than he does. They drink, smoke, do drugs and still get up in the morning and go to work. They are great parents to their kids but they still don't feel like they're too old to go out and have fun.

They're a great example of being able to have fun even if your life is full of responsibilities. I want to emulate them when I reach that age.

Being over 35 is great, this is the best part https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/552386_249192378532363_588260989_n.jpg

My Da is 62 and I don't know anyone who is happier with their life then him:)

JupiterKid

Well, I'm 37 and I still have the will to live, oddly enough.

You know the saying - youth is wasted on the young.:pac::cool:

Love these uplifting threads at this hour.

Got a 74 year old Dad here; came home from playing cards in the pub half an hour ago, talked to the dogs and then he fell asleep on the chair until I walked him up to bed. In the morning, the woman in charge of his life will make his breakfast, order him to do some work, and then he can play with his mates again.

He's basically 16 & on Summer Holidays. Yes OP, as far as I can see, life repeats itself. It does not end at 35.

I should hope not as I am a few years past it.

I have more confidence & a lot happier these days. Know what I am doing now which helps a lot.

smokedeels

I'm 26 and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do and the type of person I want to be, I don't expect to be done and dusted at 35.

There's plenty of books to read and music to enjoy, people to meet, places to see... I don't think I'll have experienced enough in 9 years to venture into oblivion with a sense of accomplishment.

OP, you've either had a massively full life, an unbelievably empty one or you're just attacking us with a second-rate brand of "old people suck"-style humour. Either way I vote YES.

entropi

Doesnt matter, OP. Omar's coming. You'll barely hit your twenties anyway before there's a shooting:pac:

The worst part of being 35 and older is the realisation of how woefully ignorant you were as a young adult. After all, ignorance is bliss. I miss that bliss sometimes... other times, not so much.

suicide_circus

OP download and watch the movie 'Logans Run' i think you might enjoy it

Cee-Jay-Cee

I'm 42. At 35 i met a girl 13yrs my junior. 18 months later we got married. We sold my house and bought a fabulous new one outside of town. I have a 2yr old daughter and another child due in 3 weeks. We both have decent secure jobs (although money can be tight at times) I am healthy and reasonably fit. I still go out for a few pints now and then although I'm happier lying on the sofa watching a film or whatever. I am happy, my age doesn't matter. I've lived more in the last 7 years than I did in the previous 35.

Life just gets more epic after 35...

Oh you subtle troll you. No doubt you're under 35.

Aglomerado

I'm going to be 35 very soon, and think there's still loads of living to do- things to do, books to read, places to visit. I'm loving my 30s so far!

Yes you are, and everybody who is 34 will disagree with you

Cienciano

I'm 35, it's great, you can finally get reasonable insurance on decent cars. On the downside, the "decent car" will probably be some sort of people carrier.

Yes, you're so very wrong. For me it only started to get really good around 35 and has steadily got better since then. Now, at the grand old age of 43, I look back at my twenties and think thank fukc they're done and dusted - wild horses wouldn't drag me back to those years even though I was travelling and partying a lot more then (which was great) but the angst and the 'what will I do with my life' worries and the insecurities about my appearance, insecurities about what people thought of me, insecurities about my future, all added up to a whole lot of bullsh!t worrying about stuff that didn't need to be worried about at all.

The parties don't have to stop - they haven't for me - in fact, last night I had a date with a very handsome, very charming 29 year old South American man. I'm still making new friends, finding new things to try - I've recently started learning how to play the ukulele and hope to attend a ukulele hooley soon to meet other ukulele players just for the hell of it. The only objective being to enjoy a bit of lighthearted fun, some silliness and hopefully have a laugh, all while meeting new people and broadening my horizons without feeling the need to be successful or talented or even any good at playing.

I'd never have even thought of doing that in my twenties because I was so caught up with worrying about stuff that ultimately turned out not to matter at all.

Look after your health and fitness though, that's the only advice I'd give. I've always cycled, starting back when I was in school as my mode of transport, and I'm so glad I did because it has helped keep me in good shape both aesthetically and health-wise. Once you've got your health, the only thing stopping you from being able to enjoy life after 35 will be your own bad attitude (barring unexpected traumatic life events and depression - which have no respect for age; youth won't keep them at bay if they decide to come for you).

In short (she says after writing a long post) life is well worth living after 35, it may even turn out to be more worth living than it ever was. It did for me.

It is if you are doing it right.

BunShopVoyeur

Retarded question to be honest.

fergal.b

I'm over 35 been there done that,today I'm packing up the boat going messing about on the water doing a bit of fishing and then the pub. Life is as good as you let it be at any age.

Yes, very much so.
Life actually gets far more enjoyable, once you're over the insecurities of youth.

Maybe at 36 you will have more sense :P

I'm loving being in my 40s. The amount of women that are out there that I find hot as hell is amazing, from their 20s to their 50s.

I'm loving seeing the kids grow up and aiming to achieve their dreams in life.

OU812

I only have two regrets in life, not knowing what I do now when I was in my 20s & not recognising the threesome with two girls I worked with which was being offered to me when I was 22.

These two things are partially related.

+1, its funny the way the "over the hill" age keeps on getting higher & higher. I remember trying to get into pubs at 16 or 17 and one place saying "its 23's lads", and us thinking "jaysus, 20 fecking 3, at that age they should be at home knitting watching the late late."

OP, what do you think happens to people at 35? What can't they do that say a 30 year old can do?

It's all downhill after you become too old to breastfeed to be honest. Turning 10 was the worst day of my life.

Mr Benevolent

It's all downhill after 4 when school starts.

Eddie and Patsy taught me that you can still drink champagne and smoke spliffs well into your early 100s.
