fandandy 3,314 Posted July 9, 2017 I'm getting to the age now where I really question clothing. Am I too old to wear this? It's odd to have that playing out in my head because I'm laid back and usually dress simply for comfort but I don't want to be looked at as a an old dude who's trying too hard to look like a young dude.

Frozenbeernuts 2,550 Posted July 9, 2017 I am not too old for my hair style, but I do not want to be old looking guy with messy hair that obviously shouldn't have messy hair look. I have no idea what I will go to when I get to that point. Too old for dealing with pointless drama, although I was never the type of person to deal with it anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,785 Posted July 9, 2017 agree about drama. i feel pretty beaten up, so my athletic endeavors are more limited. i can still ski, scuba, play volleyball, football, lacrosse, basketball, etc but can't play with the same intensity as i could even about 5 years ago. shoveling snow. while i still love the alpine environment, i don't have it in me to live in it anymore. shoveling is too hard on my back and i cannot afford a slip and fall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,785 Posted July 9, 2017 Ahh good one. I am too old to play basketball or football. I get hurt every time my original local ff league started a redraft in san francisco in 92 (i believe you met a couple of those guys in vegas). we then started a keeper around 95 or 96. our draft weekend involved: Friday night: keeper draft, poker game saturday morning: flag football saturday afternoon: redraft saturday night: another poker game sunday: random (sometimes hoops, golf, bar...whatever) when i moved to colorado in 01, i would fly back for the draft weekends. it was inevitable that someone would do something during those games (hamstrings, ankles... nothing major). very fun but age catches up to us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 7,281 Posted July 9, 2017 I think I'm done with taekwondo; the last few times I tried to get back into it I broke or sprained something. My problem is that I don't know how to go anything but full speed. Good point about the clothes. I dress pretty... young for an almost-50 yr old, but my wife just told me that I have two teenage daughters who would tell me if I went too far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 828 Posted July 9, 2017 Dam you're right. Never thought about my hairstyle when I get older cause I do the same messy hairstyle. I'm going with the theory that ours is the first generation to ever embrace the messy hairstyle. So while right now it would be very strange for an old guy to have a messy hairstyle, it'll be more common and natural looking as our generation ages.

Is burping in front of a woman frowned upon these days? Oh God don't even get me started on dating again. I told my wife I think I'd probably be done. It's just too much of a hassle. Ha yeah and drinking and then sex if I'm awake 5 seconds after I'm done she should be very happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted July 9, 2017 I think I'm done with taekwondo; the last few times I tried to get back into it I broke or sprained something. My problem is that I don't know how to go anything but full speed. this is me to a T. Used to play very high level slow pitch softball. Tournaments across 5 or 6 states. Played in Pennsylvania state tournament many years Etc. I gave it up when my daughter started playing sports so I could see all of her games. About 5 years ago a local team asked if I would play for them. I agreed. In our second game, I tore my groin so bad that my entire leg was black and blue all the way down to my foot. That was from trying to beat out an infield single. Mind you, this league was slightly above a beer league. Very non-competitive. Some guys playing in cut-off jeans. I only know one way to play. Full speed. I still believe I'm 25 in a lot of ways. And it's not a good way for a guy who was in his mid-forties to play.Then, that same league had an Old-Timers Game about 2 years ago. The field was full of guys between 40 and 55. I was playing left-center field and ran in full speed on a line drive toward Center. I laid out and go for it (missed it, by the way) and knocked the wind out of myself. LOL so to answer the threads question, competitive Sports. I am definitely too old for that now.
