Theres an old proverb (or maybe its just the title of a Broadway play) that reminds us of the universal truth: You cant take it with you. Though theyre talking about life after death, I believe it applies to your 40s, as well. If youre a man on the cusp of middle age, theres a long list of things you should be leaving in the past. Im talking about everything from scooters that would be mistaken for a childs to wildly age-inappropriate clothing to the single worst haircut any man can haveespecially someone at your dignified station in life.
Now, without further ado, here are the 40 things you should probably say goodbye to immediately. And once youve cut these things out of your life, be sure to learn the 40 words and phrases no man over 40 should ever say.

I hate websites like that, and avoid them like a bad disease. A waste of time to click repeatedly for dozens of items that could easily be displayed on a single page. I never look at the popup ads, and delete them immediately without reading them. Also, websites have teaser thumbnail pictures to entice you to go to the page but never show the referenced picture, forcing you to click forever looking for it. I hate those websites and never go back.

I agree with most of them, except the flip-flops and Band tee shirts.
I wear Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath tees fairly regularly, especially when riding my motorcycle..................
Flip flops are perfect for stepping out of showers. This fellow clearly did not think this thru.
Haven’t checked out the article yet.
Let me just say, man boobs and man purse are on the top of my list .......
OK, now I go read the actual article.
LOL! Hey, it’s not like we held a gun on ya. It’s Monday after all. Yeah, I know. One persons dumb ass sense of humor ain’t funny to other people. Mrs rktman reminds me of that on occasion. Apparently not enough though.
Fancy silk boxers with little hearts on them.
Yeah, well, don’t ask.
LOL! Age is just a number, baby! :-)
"...a Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama bumpersticker..."
A new and tolerable take on click bait. Everything on one page with options to ‘click here for more...’ Fairly entertaining, and my 60 year old self agrees with most (OK, all) of these admonishments.
Or shower...
I wear hoodies because I like wearing hoodies My dad is 87 and he still wears hoodies. The are warm and comfortable.
Ah, every time a style maven comes down the road, I run.
Unless something is pretty obviously promoting sin (sorry, I don’t go for deaths heads on motorcycle gear), I should care less if I act what some style maven thinks my age should be.
No thanks. Got my own list that applies only to me.
And there are a ton of them.
They are bait for the advertisers and they never get to the point or give you the information until you have clicked through pages and pages of advertisements. They are a scam. People will eventually figure it out like us and avoid them.
Sometimes I wear flip flops too. And sometimes I even wear them at the same time!
“I like by ball caps and my flip-flops.”
Never had ‘flip/flops’ nor ‘ball caps’, BUT !I love my 44cal. cap and balls !
Well, I just hit the big 70 and I still go to local jam session 3 nights a week to rock out. LOL! One of the ‘youngsters’ had a T-shirt on the other night that had printed on it
“I’m not like most other teenagers”
“I’m in my 50’s”
I don’t think they make one with “70’s” on it.
From that same website: They “recommend” a 1795.00 dollar “formal” rain jacket?
Sorry. Now that I am older than 40, I have NONE of these items. But have never bought nor did any of them in the first place when I was younger than 40, either.
