In my mid 40s... Mid life crisis time?

JupiterKid

Two days ago I turned 44 years of age. Where the f*ck have the past 20 or so years gone? I remember when my parents were the age I am now and it seemed so...old.

I am getting very reflective of what I have done ( and haven’t done) with my life so far and how I want to make plans for the next decade. Time is not a quantity that I have in abundance given how fast the past two decades have gone. Life is indeed very short.

Am I starting to have a mid-life crisis?

Anyone else in the same boat?

Feel free to gloat at how so much younger you are compared to me:pac:...

I had mine at 30.

I recently turned 35, things have been good however a few to many wasted weekends, am starting to realize the damn things are precious.

Only advice I have is to start this weekend and do something.

Get a BMW

I'm a decade younger, but an existential crisis can occur at any time. Don't allow laboured clichés interrupt your stride.

I'm still waiting for mine , and I'm 63. Must be the old dementia kicking in.

Same here. I'm 75 and have yet to experience the phenomenon.

I'll be turning sixty next year and I've long reconciled myself with the fact that I have seen more sunrises than I am going to see. Sometimes I stop and laugh at the young men in their thirties who moan about "feeling old," until I realise that I used to be that young man and I that used to feel old.

I have few regrets. I've been happily married almost thirty years to a woman who looks as beautiful today as the day I married her. My wife and I raised our two children hoping that they be able to support themselves and live fulfilling independent lives when we're gone. And if I'm no longer with us tomorrow I'm sure they will except for my daughter.

Do you make groaning sounds when standing up yet ?

You having any problems getting a boner? If you are then visit the doctor and get a prescription for viagra. The importance of getting the ride on a semi-regular or regular basis can’t be underestimated.

No. I make them in the morning when I wake up and realise that sweet merciful death hasnt taken me yet.

I have zero problems in that dept and I get regular sex, thank you.

If anything, I don't have sex as much as I'd like...

No need to thank me, dude, and glad to hear you’re getting your hole regularly.

I’m was in a very unhappy marriage for most of my 40’s and wasn’t getting the ride at all. Eventually walked out on the beached whale, and wish I’d done it sooner. I was as randy as a Jack Russell with two dicks, and nearly had me flute worn down to a stump with all the riding I was doing. I’ve calmed down a bit now, but there’s still nothing better than doing the old beast with two backs with some horny bird with big knockers. Top class.

In your 40's , you say!

JupiterKid

My life and that of De Valera actually overlapped by a few short months...

...that fact alone must make me "getting on."

Now...where are "Ah, you're still a young thing" posts people!!??

In my 50’s now. What’s your point? Is there some age limit on enjoying the ride? Nothing better then taking off your trousers, getting your lad out, and hoppingbetween the sheets for a good bonking session with some randy minx. Cigarette afterwards of course.

Turned 40 recently and I've found myself wondering where all the years went too... I guess one of the good things about getting older is you sweat the small stuff less

He's not questioning you enjoying the ride, he's questioning your almost teenage attitude to it. You talk like some teenager who never had sex. Also your description of your partner/wife as a beached whale does you no favours.

I was questioning his teenage attitude to it, but in a light hearted way.

Oh come on, he is either an immature young lad, a spoofer or an adult who never developed emotionally.

Less of the personals there, Kathleen. I’d suggest you calm down and stop being hysterical. I’ve a very light-hearted attitude to life - a certain joie de vivre, and that includes my attitude to sex. Certainly not the sort that only does it once a week - Saturday night, lights out, bottle of wine, after watching the Ray Darcy show, 10
minutes max, only 2 positions.

Johnny is actually Ben, a 28 yr old PhD student in a committed relationship with Amy. He is close to his family and has no problem in calling home. During weekends him and Amy like to go hiking up the Dublin mountains or stroll through Howth while eating fish and chips. Amy is good friends with Simon Harris and they often all get together for brunch. However there is a secret part to Ben that needs an outlet. In order to be a mustard coloured chino wearing man about town something needs to come out.

And so. Johnny Flash, misogynist extraordinaire and sex maniac is born. Boards is if course the perfect playground for Ben's alter ego. A safe space, something which him and Amy believe is very important, for him to take on the mantle of horrible person free from the constraints of his real life.

Is that how I came across in my post.....:D Try and find 3 other posters to say I am hysterical (with laughter doesn't count you lot!)

Misogynist? I’ve been called lots of things over the years, but a woman hater? If I’m guilty of anything, it’s loving women too much. Even big birds the odd time if I’ve had plenty of drink.

Woke Hogan

My father used to always tell me how people never change- "a leopard can't change its spots."

As the years pass I've realised more and more how wrong he was. The mad lads who used to be throwing porter down their necks when we were young fellas got it out of their system early and settled down. Then the other lads who got into unhappy marriages in their early twenties would end up separating and trying to relive their youths, trying to get the ride in bingo halls and discos. I know who I would rather be.

Sit down for this - but there’s a third position. Complex, and requires years of practice.

Well your posts in this thread would suggest you are either a bull****ter, a misogynist or a person who may not hate women but certainly does not respect them. In fact I would go so far as to say that you are the type of poster who gets men a bad name.

I do respect them, apart from my ex wife. She doesn’t like me either, but I’d never call her someone who hates men. She is an evil witch with more facial hair than me, but that doesn’t cloud my judgement of other birds - love them to pieces. And then tend to love me as well - I’m quite the hit with the ladies, especially ones in their late 30’s and early 40’s.

You never know what day your going to drop dead. You could be near the end of your life already. Never mind mid life.

Never said that and I enjoy sex as much a any woman, but I don't need to call my partner a "beached whale" or talk about " even big birds if I have enough to drink" or talk about "gettin' the lad out" I am not talking about his enjoyment of sex, I am talking about his immature attitude to it and women in general.

So respectful...... Jaysus

maybe because the women in their 30s early 40s are in a mid life crisis too and any port in a storm:):)

I normally stuff younger birds than Johnny even though we're of a similar age. We'll I think I'm a bit younger than him.
I Try and go for ones in their early 20s. I find the Eastern European ones to be the best looking but can be very dour. Straight down to business types. The Orientals are much more friendly and demure. The ones walking the canal late at night should be avoided at all costs.

This thread is hilarious.

I'm on my second now, or as some call it my Audi TT. Never let a good mid life crises go to waste.

My midlife crisis kicks in every time someone the same age or younger kicks the bucket.

Turned 40 a little time ago myself and have been waiting for the MLC to kick in. Not sure when it will come or what form it will take. It has been something of an anti climax waiting for it.

I will probably have a 3/4 life crisis where I obsess over not having had my mid-life crisis when I could have and wasted those years when everyone else did something with theirs.

bri007

Mine has already started, 37 this month. Felt no length when I was celebrating my 21st.......

Played a charity match in work a few weeks ago, I use to play football a lot and keep myself in decent enough fitness wise.... well so I thought.

Looked like a fat eejet on the pitch, I use to be able to run fast.... well I can’t! Couldn’t wait for the torture of it to be over, that was only after 3 mins kick off

But yeah I think it’s better to not over think age or we will all be going mad.

Life is way to short, do everything and anything you can while you still can - except football I’m just too old for that haha - I stil play fifa on the ps4 keeps me young!
