I see you know whats good for the prostate.

I can only say what Diane Keaton shouted in “Baby Boom”: I USED TO BE CUTE!

Can’t recall exactly at what age that ended.

[who knows what evil?]

:-).

Level of endurance creeps down.....you can still live life but your body begins to tell you when enough is enough as it ages. It physically resists.

[LongWayHome]

44 is the EXACT age I first noticed a decline in my workouts...running, walking, hiking, weights. Talked about it to family & friends at the time.

Until that age, I never felt any real physical decline.

.....”We're not all alike, and that's a good thing”......

Genetics plays a role too.....some families have histories of longevity - others might have members who suffer from heart issues at a young age. Also male and female differs as well as injuries that slow us down more than aging.

Add 72 also.

Lots of bad things seem to happen around then. Maybe it’s a fall or an illness but something can happen that you just don’t fully come back from.
You’ll say it’s all good but something is no longer the same.

I was told the other day I look younger then my age.

Some people are so kind!

Quit golf at age 76 due to moving to Florida.

Are there no golf links in Florida?

For men; drink 15 gallons of water a month along with sex 21 times a month, and you’re good to go!

As long as the missus doesn't find out!

SERIOUSLY: Why are you advising me to reduce my sex life?

[alexander_busek]

I’m 61. Someone the other day told me that I look early 50’s.

1850's?

[...] drink 15 gallons of water a month [...]

You realize that that equates to only 2 quarts of water a day?

I suppose that that might suffice - provided you spend most of the day slouched in a comfy chair in an air-conditioned apartment.

Then again, I walked into the house 5 years ago and an old man was laying on the couch.

What was he laying on the couch? Bricks?

Or was he rather lying on the couch?

If I died my air, I could pass for 50, no problem.

Gentlemen: Never, never "die your air."

Nor should you dye your hair.

Hah! The second after I replied, I saw my error, wondered if anyone noticed. You win the awareness award.

[Omnivore-Dan]

Maybe a liar lying on the couch telling lies? Getting laid on the couch? Who was he laying? Gotta know these things.

[Omnivore-Dan]

I supplement my 2 quarts water with 2 quarts beer. Doesn’t make me look any younger, but it does make me...uh, never mind.

[Omnivore-Dan]

True. Environment and nutrition also. Some do well in arid climates others more humid, or cold vs. warmer or hot.

[alexander_busek]

You win the awareness award.

More like I win the "Time Is Heavy on His Hands" Award!

I think we’re in the same club. I’m also in my 70’s, don’t look it, but I am in no way in the same shape as when I was younger. I’m sure as hell not doing 50 pushups, 100 situps, or anything like that every morning. But it came to me slowly. I’m still more active than many 50 year old men and even the 40 year old couch potato that’s glued to the tv all day.
