I turned 30 today...
- Thread starter BossAttack
- Start date
Have found it to be the opposite personally. Haven't had much luck at all since I turned 30, had much more luck finding a fling in my 20s.
I'm 33. My life has been WAAAAY fucking better in my 30s than it was in my 20s.
Me in my 20s: Obese, depressed, wasting years in college and not even going for my teaching credentials after getting a BA because I was burnt the fuck out, and didn't know how to manage what little money I had.
Me now in my 30s: At the healthiest weight I've ever been, good paying job, 401(k), Roth IRA, stock investments, and just a year or so from being able to buy a house on my own, and much more socially active (well, before COVID that is).

Happy birthday! Here's your cane.
You're now at the age where 20-somethings will think you're old, but older people will still roll their eyes when you say that you feel old. Enjoy.
Seriously though, it's a pretty decent age because you're old enough to be independent and fairly comfortable with who you are, but not so old that your age starts feeling restrictive.

Knowing i am Older Than Kurt Cobain ever was Feels weird. Knowing soon i will also be older than GG Allin was feels weirder.
Fixed, and I truly believe it.
That being said, I turned 31 in July and this past year and a half as been amazing, a lot better then the 10 previous years!
I appreciate the OP being open about their age, I don't see 30, 40 being old, especially paired with today's climate, tech, meds etc. today a human has an easy path to 100.

I've always been "mature" in my thinking, even when I was a kid. Not that it ever got me much.
Thx.
Happy birthday.
And welcome to the club, for me the 30s have been good, i found true love and sucess in my career and personal life (With some bad streaks) but overall my 30s have been good. Hope is good for you as well.

Happy birthday, OP!
I'm 32. I'm in the best shape now than I've ever been in my life (both in strength and in cardio / conditioning). I'm also learning Japanese and setting new professional goals for myself. I'm also much more confident being myself than I ever have been, and am extremely skilled at ignoring / cutting out ALL bullshit and pettiness in my life.
My 30s have been awesome so far, and yours will be, too. You have all of my well wishes. Kick off the best decade of your life, starting now.

Assemble but not too quickly and not after discussing whether we should or not first.
30-35 is peak age man. You're starting to get wealthy, usually no kids yet (or are there) and as a man suddenly women start turning their heads.
Very shortly after 35 it's a steep descent downhill though.

Curious thing about OP. Everytime i see his avatar somehow i always think it is a Pyramid Head for some reason xD.
I'm in the middle section of my 30s and they've been awesome. 20s are more loose, haphazard, and wild, but life just feels so much more grounded in your 30s.

Well, avatar is getting changed soon now that the election is over. Back to some SW shit.
Youngins. Whole lot of ya.
Kidding.
Gratz on entering the longest and most rewarding phase of your life OP - after your 20's, when experience and wisdom should start to slowly form who you will be for the rest of your life. Everyone's 20's are a mess (mine included) - life really doesn't start until you are in your 30's imo.

It's true, my early 30's were some of the best years of my life. When 40 gets close its much harder to keep the energy up. Also your friends get way less social.
