I see a lot of posts in this thread that, on the surface, seem to be more health and lifestyle issues than solely age. I still play ice hockey, climb mountains, stay out late, enjoy alcohol, play in a band, play computer games, bartend, throw parties, travel, and generally live life to the fullest. I’ve been fortunate to not have any debilitating genetic problems, but I’ve also kept myself physically active and emotionally healthy throughout my life. I truly wish society supported more people to be able to live that way. As I’ve aged I’ve become more of an activist for a shorter work week, better support from the government, and much higher wages. I hope, those of you who want to, can find ways to reverse some of the things that make you feel old beyond your years.

Seconded, fully. In addition, doing new things really helps: all the time I’ve been spending challenging myself and learning new skills has basically been keeping me mentally young and flexible.

That’s the spirit. Although sometimes I see changes in my skin that don’t match the age I feel :-D

I’ve gone the “drinking the blood of virgins” route for that one.

When I turned 50 they asked me if I planned to grow up now 😂
