[Closed] What tragedy is it...?

Birkinstocks, deck shoes or action sandals, take your pick.

getting the chance to have what they really want,

and not the courage to take it 🙁

Owning a collection of trolls.

marriage... but not strictly limited to middle age me, just men in general.

Ear hair

inch long eyebrow hairs like Dennis Healey

grey pubes (looks down)

It's not the hair turning grey, it is the inbetween ginger phase.

It's being halfway to death.

trying to work out how old you have to be to be in 'middle-age' bracket.

Rubbish. I'm WAY past middle age (I don't expect to live to 116) and I've experienced none of the above. I'm just ossum.

Loss of upper body muscle tone and arrival of man boobs. Horrible.

OK - back on-line, got a little disrupted...
Wasn't a trolling post, necessarily...

I was thinking along the lines of reaching an age where personal image / confidence increases proportionally with actual age, but is inversely proportional to how others see you...

... thinking, possibly, that rather than just being polite & friendly, younger women are actually blind to grey hair, moobs and expanding waistlines :-0

Listening to the same old shite music they listened to in their 20s and thinking "They don't write em like they used to"

Kind of overlaps with the age gap relationships thing 🙁

The responsibility of being debt free and owing your own house and not being able to get a good price for the last generations houses you've inherited

The realization that you are beset by current circumstances and that you will never now be that premier league player, tennis ace, world champ Down hill rider.

That the best you can look forward to is just more of the same, with a huge dose of apathy, born of the familiarity with the annonymous existense of those harnessed into the rat race.

While also aware that in later years you face the vastness of eternity knowing that you will one day disappear as did all those who have gone before you.

Black Cloud anyone ?.

Anyway. How old do you have to be to be [i]Middle aged[/i] ?, and is it the same age for both both sexes ??.

playing on bikes in the woods in silly shorts and daft plastic helmets. Saddos.

Most Birthday/Fathersday/Xmas presents seem to be Blue Harbour Clothing from M and S 🙄

Ahhaa - in that case I haven't reached middle age yet 😀

DezB - they really don't write them like they used to! 🙁

not sure that's any worse than 'hip dad'. bit like a dancing vicar.

There is no help for him.

On the pull??

Thinking the white jeans will do the job...
