Nah, she’s wrong about that.

Average life expectancy was around 40 because infant mortality was so high. If you made it out of childhood, you’d expect to live into your late 50s or beyond.

  • I don’t care about gaining weight anymore
  • I sigh a lot more. For example when I sit down in a comfy chair or something – loud sigh will immediately follow, almost every time.

Oooh, I have started getting a couple (literally like two of them) darkish leg hairs, whereas the rest of them are blonde as they always have been. Opposite graying, or something?

You’re running out of telomeres.

Getting less passionate about new music/films/etc. I really like Alex G now and he’s released some of my favourite recent albums, but I know if I’d first heard him when I was 20 then I’d have become obsessed and he’d have meant something really important and vital to me.

I have a non beard chin line too

Cut my chin open falling off my bike when I was a kid, and when I started getting face hair that patch stayed bald

also have a bald patch on my head from when I whacked it on something as a kid - but that will soon be subsumed by the larger bald area so :man_shrugging:

Oh, totally this. Literally stopped caring the day I left HMV. The artist I’d probably call my “favourite group” have released 3 new albums since I last listened to them. This is all bit predictable to type, but if we ever have Radio 1 or Capital (or whatever) on at work I legitimately know ~5% of anyone they play on it.

Heard of ten of these people, and zero of the songs :laughing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singles

Edit: Actually SIX albums. Christ. :older_man:

I’m going to sound really old here, but the music in the charts at the moment seems squeezed into a very narrow genre and there’s not a huge amount of variety. It’s probaly always like this, isn’t it.

#206

Or, you’re getting old and “it all sounds the same”

(actually, I think you’re right, I’m just playing devils advocate)

#207

Yeah that’s what I meant. Charts seem very young male slow rap with auto tune dominated. Oh god I sound 60.

My pain tolerance has gotten crazy better. Must be my sensory receptors dying idk.

Same, I used to be a total wimp with any kind of pain, now I just shrug it off and get on with things.

Less scared/freaked out by bugs/insects/arachnids/etc. Yesterday I picked up a woodlouse to put it outside WITH MY BARE HANDS like it was nothing, a few years ago I wouldn’t have even gone close to it because they used to make me feel sick with there creepy legs and the way they crunch if you step on them.

I used to roll in from a club or something at 3am and be up out of the house by 9am feeling fine. Now I aim to be in bed by 10pm and up by 6am on a week day. If the young me could see me now…

I was cycling to work this morning and noticed a spider sitting on my handlebars. Fifteen years ago that would have made me crash into the side of a bus.
