You still have over half of your life expectancy left. You're not "old"... But you're definitely not young either.
you do know that some people go back to school in their 30s (and even 40s), right?
I feel this thread is a good example why a lot of men consider suicide and have existential crisises when so many people consider mid 30s "old" and why so many young people feel also a lot of pressure of having peaked before their 30s
34 is the perfect age. If you've kept good care of yourself, you should be close to your peak in terms of health. You should be well established in a career and likely without kids yet so financial situation can be great.

Hey welcome to the club!
Yep, in the late 40s, it's divorced people with kids. And that comes with a lot of preconceived notions of relationships and parenting philosophies, baggage as you said.I get it, I really do.
Dating over 30 is rough because you're officially too old for some of the people that can legally drink (people that go to bars). God help you if you're over 40. The only exceptions here are if you're wealthy and/or have the good fortune of being a natural 9 or 10 in looks but then you're Leonardo DiCaprio and that's kinda weird. The point is that there's an acceptance of a loss of attractiveness solely due to age that has to be processed. There's a loss of ego to admit that you've aged out of one dating bracket into another dating bracket where everyone naturally has substantially more baggage. So you're not old - but in dating terms you kinda are?
Just want to say, there's no "should" when it comes to things like career. Many people are late bloomers here for many valid reasons. I know someone who worked dead end jobs until their 40s who then studied for a few years and started their own company.34 is the perfect age. If you've kept good care of yourself, you should be close to your peak in terms of health. You should be well established in a career and likely without kids yet so financial situation can be great.

Agreed, but not just that, with how shitty capitalist society has gotten, it literally takes more than 2-3 decades for most people to even have a chance at living the life and having the finances they want.
Boomers had a tough time getting old and not being important anymore, echo boomers -- millennials -- need to accept our fate as well.
I'm 41 and I feel like my life just started. I never want to be 24 or 25 again. Our financials are in a great place. My health is good and I finally have a good handle on what I want to do with the rest of my life. Nah, 34 is young as well as 55.
Tell me, how does a 34 year old supposed to act and carry themselves? Are you supposed to buy a rocking chair with a knitted blanket? You stop playing video games in favor of prunes collecting.
True. I'm 33 but look 18 so I don't need to act young lol. People just assume it.Stay open minded, stay young at heart.
Getting older is a fact, but you don't have to act like it if you don't want to.
Congratulations, your an 18 year old man.
