At my age you realize that there is not magical point where you just "grow up". Everyone is a kid stuck in an aging body.

Orgasms are AMAZING, like they've been amplified from the age of 26 to my current age. My whole body is more sensitive than it used to be, which is a major boost in bed. Libido is still what it's been most of my adult life. When I was a teen, one of my dad's 40 something year old girlfriends told me that women's bodies enjoy sex way more after 25, and she was 100% right.

A lot of guys peak sexually around 25-30. That's the window when a lot of them don't suck in bed as much as when they were younger, they mature a little, etc. Then, BOOM, they hit their quarter life crisis and ruin some of the best years of their lives. Some women probably have a quarter life crisis too. Every guy probably doesn't peak at 25-30, but the shift in the quality of men available in that range is very noticeable... Outside of that range, there are great guys, there are just less available.

A lot of men who didn't settle down early start desperately looking for a long term partner when they are 25-35. I think they realize that it's only going to get harder from here on out.

Joints do ache some days but are fine most days.

Sometimes it's harder to read in the afternoons/evenings.

Hearing gets more sensitive and less sensitive at the same time.

Emotions level out a lot between 25 and 35. That mental maturing after 25 is real. I used to have a temper and be a bit high strung, but now I rarely actually get upset about anything. The last time I truly got angry was years ago.

Things that used to be amazing can start to get boring and repetitive. If you can spend all day every day at theme parks and eat sugar all you want, then both lose their appeal.

This might be an effect from going mostly vegetarian and healthy for 4 years, but my body hates a lot of unhealthy things now. It's like my body was used to it my whole life, but when I took it away my body healed and rejects it now. Sugar is a big one, food dyes, too much meat.

Kids are independent and self sufficient, so it's like doing what everyone did in their 20's but some of it a little later.

More people you know are dead. Just happens every year you get older.

Dating is annoying. A lot of people my age didn't age well... Out of the ones who did alright, most of the men have libidos that are way down compared to their 20's or penises that don't quite work as well anymore.

That being said, it's no harder to meet people interested in dating now than before.

If people didn't take care of their bodies when they were younger, it all starts creeping in around 25 - now.

Pretty much have life figured out, and all of my goals have been hit or are on track and well ahead of schedule. So, I feel like I'm semi retired really early. That means trying to figure out what silly things to do every day to keep busy.

My confidence is much higher, because I know how to handle pretty much anything now, I know my worth as a person, and setting boundaries and maintaining them is much easier. There's none of that shy, awkward, fear of authority that teens and young adults tend to have. I can communicate my wants and needs openly without holding back.

I just turned 28 years old. I feel like once I turned 28, I should be more mature, sophisticated, financially stable, adult. All the way from 21-27, I never felt really that much different. Maybe I got a little more mature over the years, but i wasn't till I turned 28 where I felt like I've entered a different stage of life.

I've been seeing people around my age get married, engaged, having kids. Being the only single one in the group. Feeling the need to "settle" for someone. If I don't settle, I probably will never find anyone. Its now or never.

Life at 28 is better than life at 21. You get more freedom, more control over the people you're around, you don't have to be around people you hate. But at the same time, it is a lot of responsibility to make sure you keep your job because you no longer have anyone paying bills for you.

Going back to school gets harder as you get older. When I was in my early 20s in college, I thought school was the hardest it can ever get. Boy was I wrong. Now, I have to work full time and attend school at the same time.

Making friends is also harder than ever. My advice is to make as many friends as you can in high school and college. If you don't make friends in high school and college, you will be friendless by the time you hit your mid 20s. It only gets harder as you get older.

Pretty awesome. I'm close enough to retirement that my give a shite factor is minimal on all the ladder-climbing BS. I'm well set up financially to enjoy retirement, and unexpected expenses are merely obnoxious, not insurmountable or stressful. I have free time to focus on my rescue kittens who are very important to me as well as my passions in the community. Women seem to know I'm going to be less tolerant of bullshite at this point in my life (even the younger ones) so I don't have to play a bunch of head games on the dating scene, and as they seem far more willing to approach me, much of the work is done for me before I even get started.

Other than the fact I had a heart attack last year I can honestly say it's one of the best ages of my life. I enjoyed my deployment time a lot. If it wasn't for that, THIS would be the single best time of my life.

- You're stupid, so you're taking the "rite of passage" everyone else older than you took in order to become an actual adult

- Slowly learning who you want to be and finding a little bit of your rythm in how to handle yourself in the world.

- Perfect period for growth and opportunity to take advantage of our youth.

- Very confusing and involves self-inflicting stress, since you do not know what the hell to do in life (I'm assuming this gradually will significantly lessen by the time I am 30)

- An odd sense of having a more clarity than your teenage years. The mind is very muddy/cloudy through that phase, as your coping methods are awful from lack of experience.

Overall, I'll probably define my 20's by the end of it probably as the period where I made the most mistakes in order to learn how to get my shit together.

Apple1996 · Answer

Being 27 is amazing! I feel like my younger years sucked. Just more stable and happy now

Rei13 · Answer

Overall I don’t feel a lot different to what I felt when I was twenty even though a lot has changed. No aches and pains, and if anything my body is able to handle more now than it could then. My emotional health is better, my emotions don’t go as high or low anymore probably cause I eat better and exercise. I’m also more financially stable. I actually really like being in my thirties mostly cause I can travel a lot more than I could when I was younger and money isn’t an issue in general anymore

Kaneki05 · Answer

Annoying. I still feel like a teen but of course I ain't, and just getting older. Wanna be in my late teens again. Still haven't done any real adulting so that's a good thing, and don't intend on ever doing so. Like working a 9-5 job while worrying about bills that seems such a bad life.

Unit1 · Answer

28 ?

I feel like an old man approaching beyond the expiration boundaries of how long life intended us to keep alive. I'm not in the exciting 20s anymore.

Some say the 20s are the best years in life and i concur. I haven't had the privilege to exercise the things, that makes life a pleasant and beautiful and worry free experience to say the least.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

As Da Biggest Bird, I will take the audacity to ebulliently state that life is good. I am currently in the mid way process of a legacy synthesis. If we are speaking on a general sense, it is probably confusing and depressing but I am a Giga Chad God fearing broham so I am free of those chains. Those pot heads be changing girlfriends every two weeks and dressing like a gangster during the 1830s. They got the vocabulary level of a 5th grader who’s dad cares about them but all of that gets overshadowed by his alcohol addiction making him seem like a mindlessly aggressive person. I’ve met birds with a more sophisticated depiction of right and wrong. I have seen cans of cat food with a more stable chromosome count than most folks at my school, respectfully.

I was a lot more freaked out about my age 10 years ago, but now, I'm starting to understand why some people say they feel more in control and understand a lot more about life and who you should keep around you at this age. I feel like sometimes its the gray period of just leaving youth, but right before you're like "really old," lol. I do feel some doors closing, but there are also like different opportunities in life to find your passion more freely. One thing I do miss is endless energy. Now I'm legit like, a nap sounds amazing. Work is long, friendships are good, I'm drinking the "hopium."

My age on here is mistyped i am in my early 30. i loved loveeeed my late 20s and early 30s. i think its the best time. U still look and feel young but ur mind is more together u have so much experience. U no longer struggle with teen angst u have a personality u r assertive. Not easily messed with. Also u are aware u dont have all the time in the world to play around so u start to get shyt done. I no longer care for my parents support or opinion. Sexually i am more confident. Of course i was better looking when i was younger but if u are still immature nothing seems enough

AliceGregory · Answer

So far I'm enjoying it but I've always been the type to seize the moment. When I was younger I always dreaded the big 4-0 because it seemed so old. But I don't really feel older than I used to.

Although a while ago I felt "being 40" on my boobs haha

*squish

rigmarole · Answer

I've made it around the sun a couple of times... That's all there really is to it. Age is only important in the very begging of life when you are trying to gain adult rights, and at the end of life when you are worrying about retirement and failing health. In the long middle it's pretty irrelevant. Turn a year older doesn't mean anything really.

Simslover92 · Answer

It sucks hard. Debt piled up, bills, rent, with boring work and not enough sex from the boyfriend because we're long distance.

Back when I was in college I could've had a bunch of sex with the boyfriend had I been with him then but I chose to just be friends. Why did I do that?

wiltingrosepetal · Answer

Terrified of the future and its responsibilities. 18 is such an overwhelming age because we get told time and time again that the 20s are the golden years. We're so young and yet that idea makes life feel so short. So, I've only got 12 years until it's over?
... obviously that's not true lmao, but people focus on the 20s wayyy to much 💀

captain_voidwalker · Answer

It's like being stuck on a train you know is heading towards a broken bridge. You try and warn people that the bridge us out and get called a "conspiracy theorist" or a " nazi" for your trouble. So eventually you decide f**k it and try to jump off before it's to late but the people stop you from. Jumping off. So there you are with no option but to watch a train wreck that you have no choice but to he in the middle of.

Altheavas · Answer

I was like this when I was a teenager, now I’m back at it. I guess self centered, I don’t give a Danm anymore about the BS around me. Knowing that I accepted myself and love myself with all my perfections and imperfections.

My age isn't real... because fk you, that's none of ya business. But I can say with my age... it's a blessing to be alive this long. Long enough to feel things that make me truly happy that might be something granted for others.

CrimsonAngel09 · Answer

At 32? Each person is different. In short, I'm an introvert and a homebody, and my idea of fun is a museum and video gaming.  I don't like loud or obnoxious environments like clubs.

DaveJord · Answer

Honestly, my life is 100% better at 47 then 20... but as they say youth is wasted on the young. But I can still do all things I could do at 20, and now I have the means to really take full advantage.

Good. I mean I don't have youth anymore. But what I lack in youth I make up for in resources. And all things considered I'd rather have the resources. I do what I want when I want and I have no quams about telling someone to f*** off.
