42 and also lift almost everyday, heck I teach it. Nice to get paid for working out! Still can bench 400 once or twice a year, although that will be gone real soon. Very little cartilage left in my shoulders. Still work out in the 300's with no problems.
Also coach wrestling and can take down any kid on the team and stick him for a pin, including the heavyweights. Power of the hips baby.
I am about 6'0" and 280lbs, but look like about 240lbs. No gray hair, just less of it.
Can't play in any alumni football games anymore though, doctors orders. Too many old collision injuries. Started feeling my age at 38. Wheels and flexibility are 1st things to go. Then recovery from injury and eyes (reading glasses now).
Never been married but have had the same GF for about 10 years.
38 years in the books, married for 8 of them, first child due next month. Child seat ready to be installed...
I guess that will either keep me young or kill me!!
Had my first kid at 38 too, he's now 18 and going away to college in August, so do the math!!!! And got two more after him (slow learner ).
That didn't kill me and I still get around real well. People say I don't look (or act) my age, still surfing, getting waves and not getting in the way!!!
My wife and kids, (and my TITAN) keep me young at heart, where it really matters.
WetWaders, you are in for the experience of a lifetime, make the most of it, they grow up real fast. . . .
Best wishes for your two new additions to your family (TITAN and clone)!

Never argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I am scared to post now. I am 23, married for about 5 months now (living together in our house for about 2 years). I feel very lucky for my situation. At least, I know now who I can turn to for guidance. Dont worry guys, you are still cool, YOU DRIVE A TITAN!

I dont think I have paid my due "time" to be cool yet. Does it count that I have one gray hair on my chest?? Albeit that it is the only hair on my chest though.
One thing is for sure Nissan is going to have a tough time figuring out median age demographics. Imagine Nissans advertising dept. “Well John, 1/2 page color 6x’s run in Popular Mechanics looks good”. “Actually Bob, I was thinking a one time shot covering 15 million readers in AARP is the ticket”. Lets compromise, USA Today it is then.
Flfinfan.. That my man is some serious weight to be pushing!

No it doesn’t. You need to pluck it & then “two will grow back” or is it
“an Angel will get it’s wings”

Well 38 here and depending on the day I either feel in my twenties or my fiftys.
Just finished 20 years in the Navy last year and still doing similar work as a Govvie.
Typeical old style Navy Chief I guess in attitude. Smoke, Drink Coffee anytime of the day, on my third (And definately LAST) marraige and 5 years running now. While it took time to get it through my noggin, I finally got lucky (Albeit she is almost 9 years younger! LOL). 4 cats are our at home kids.
Son from my first marraige is turning 16 soon and getting into the cars, girls, etc etc phase. Gives the ex hell but I have no problems thus far.
Have my 'old school' Z and my new Titan to complete the package. Grey, well yeah, it sure has come on in the last 7 years or so!
Wow, glad to see so many people over 35 still being active. At 38 I'm 30 lbs overweight (5' 11" and 250, my hockey weight was 220 and my road cycling weight was 195). I think it's more the fact that I'm busy making VP (just got a VP position, moving into it in three weeks) than anything else over my weight. Lost 20 lbs since Xmas though and plan to get down to 200, don't need a ton of muscle mass anymore, just need to look fit in my suits.
But guys, I still feel old. When I look at an attractive 20 year old girl, all I can think is how annoying they are when they talk

Is this the old fart's corner?
I didn't think I felt too old at 47 until I got done hand washing the truck
last night. Can you guess my answer when the wife says "you gonna do
mine next?"
Chris, could you send me some of that grey hair to fill in this blank spot that
seems to be getting bigger on the top of my head? I always wondered why
the older guys liked ball caps so much. Hell, it could be worse, I could've been
short, too!
My dad was a Navy coreman in WWII, and I picked up the coffee and smoking
habits from him at an early age. I quit smoking last year for six months using
Commit lozenges, but started smoking again to get off those damn things.
They'll give you as good a buzz as cigarettes, and enable you to pass gas
that would embarrass a horse. Kept my two kids entertained, but the wife
wasn't too thrilled with that side effect.
I really need to start getting some exercise. Back in January, I bent over
to pick up a folder off my son's desk and had to be carted into the emergency
room in a wheelchair. Just a pulled muscle in my back, but the spasms were
terrible. I am thinking about taking up running, but my knees are telling me
to try "walking."
Did you guys see where Tony Randall died at 84 and left two young children,
I think a seven and a three year old, behind? Didn't hear what he died from,
but I'm thinking, maybe Cialis? I bet he went with a smile on his face if that
was the case. When I go, I hope they have trouble closing the lid on me.
You guys shouldn't feel too bad about your advancing years. The wisdom
and maturity you show in your posts let these young guys know:
fffeeewww I just recently turned 25 is this what i have to look forward to guys. I always thought it was how old you felt not how old you actually are. Then again i live by the motto; "Ill grow old but ill never grow up"
