Aging scares me way too much
I am very afraid of aging. I think one day I am going to wake up and see myself as a whole different person and look very old.

I've always said that the saddest day in a man's life is the day he realizes that the women who he is attracted to the most are the same ones that are attracted to him the least.

It's not like one morning you'll just wake up and look in the mirror and look dramatically different than you did the night before. It's a gradual process, you won't even notice the changes day by day.

It's probably because subconsciously and consciously you're associating aging with death. You should check out The Present:

Sad thing about this is that you're actually aging faster by stressing about it this way. Just enjoy your live while you can. Think about it this way we should all be more then happy if we make it that old. These days people die without living man. Shit is cold.

I'm actually looking forward to retirement and being the cool 65 year old with a shaved head, goatee, and sunglasses, and Hawaiian shirts. My age right now doesn't suit me

In my opinion it depends on your gender:
It's normal if you're a gal as females are valued based on their youth.
It's not normal if you're a guy unless you're homosexual as homosexual guys tend to face the same/similar high male beauty and youth standards that gals do.Comment Hidden ( show ) -

It comes on slowly and what you gain in wisdom and life-experience makes it worth it. Most likely, the only people who don't think the trade off (youth for wisdom) was worth it, are the same people who put all of their happiness-eggs in their vanity-basket and didn't bother improving themselves in other ways.
For most of your life you will be relevant to the rest of society. If you are a woman, you might notice that society treats you differently beyond your fertile years. But, for everyone in general, it isn't until you become a pensioner that your importance amongst society (in Western cultures) becomes significantly diminished.

It's kind of pointless to be afraid of the inevitable.
But, as an old, old, old man, let me tell you; it ain't that bad.
Sure there are aches and pains, and that beautiful young cutie on the street looks right through me, but I'm still having a ball and wouldn't trade this life for any other.
Looking in the mirror is indeed a trip, but I've never been what most would call handsome, so the changes might be for the best.Comment Hidden ( show )
