| This space for lease. Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: I like guys Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Hippie Town, Alberta of the US Age: 31 Posts: 2,109 Join Date: Nov 2008 |  When did we start getting old. So for the past month I have been going to physical therapy because I injured my back. I have a friend with a back problem also. Another friend recently had surgery for foot problems. Now I just saw on facebook that a friend from High School is going to have a cardiac stress test because of some problems. This just ain't right. We can't be getting older. We're all supposed to be a bunch of invincible 20 year olds.

That is my point. We are only 30. We shouldn't be having these problems. We should still be invincible damn it.

My parents, being the paranoid weirdos that they are, would blame it on the chemicals added in foods and such. Oh, and the terrorists. There are about a billion and one reasons they would be wrong, as you can imagine. Hope your back gets better!  |

| We're all a little mad! EC Moderator  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Some people Location: Las Vegas Age: 24 Posts: 5,551 Join Date: Jan 2008 | Re: When did we start getting old. No, 30 definitely isn't old. Wait till you're 50 -- you'll be wishing you were 30 again. Everyone wants to stay young. I know I wish I could go back maybe just 4 years or so and stay that age. And as far as health problems go, everyone has different problems, some more than others. I'm only 23 yet my back hurts me quite often -- bet it's because of being in weird positions on my laptop... I guess we have technology to thank! Lol

| Now I know I'm living for who I am Regular Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay dude Out Status: Most family & friends; more in due time Location: Arizona Age: 25 Posts: 161 Join Date: Sep 2011 | Re: When did we start getting old. I've realized in the past year or so that I can't pull "all-nighters" like I could during my undergrad (although here I am writing this at almost 3am!). It really wrecks my body now, giving me bad headaches and sometimes getting sick. The back aches I have now though are more due to a lack of exercise. I've noticed that jumping down even short distances (e.g. off benches or chairs) really jars my knees too. Remember when you used to jump off of monkey bars or other playground equipment without any pain and keep on truckin'? I think that's why some older folks resent kids so much.

I think it depends on how healthy you were living in your younger years I've seen plenty of people past 30 who are still active and healthy, I've even seen senior people jogging on the street and staying in shape! It just really depends on the person
