Is there anything good about getting old?

    Apparently you get better at regulating your emotions and that can generally help you feel happier and more content. Apparently 69yr olds are as happy as 23yr olds. Both of those ages are apparently tied for statistically the happiest years in people's lives. Your mileage may vary and it might be a optimism psyop though.

    Also I discover more things I enjoy as I age, and I have more resources to enjoy them in comfort.

    Oh yeah, I love it.

    You get more respect from people automatically.
    Your life experience and advice is valuable.
    Women like older men.
    You stop caring about larger issues and worry more about yourself and your immediate family.
    You don’t have to deal with people that don’t have their shit together just because you went to the same school or lived in the same city.
    It gets easier to recognize bullshit and avoid it.
    Friends and social groups aren’t as important.
    Being in shape is a little more difficult but you definitely earn more respect by keeping fit as you age.
    You don’t get tested as often as when you’re 20something.

    Depends on what you've done or accomplished and how stable you are financially. For you probably not.

    When everything works for your good that even disasters in finance, relationships, health and such work for your good, you wake up in the morning with your loyal workers and thank God for it with relief and hope for the future.

    As a man you don't need to fear aging. You can do anything you want to do, until like 75 or older.

    Depends on what you do with your youth.

    If you don't take care of your body and you just NEET or wage in some dead end job, then it sucks ass.

    If you build your body and build a career its got some really nice upsides.

    Somehow, I wish we can take them on a ride inside a time machine and bring them to the current era. People need to see these happy ravers and listen to their music, because today's music are lacking in euphoria.

      Experience. You look back at all the dumb shit you did as a kid.

      That kinda thing is good if you don't wallow in regrets.

    reduced sex drive has made my life unironically 50 to 100% better. It's not only the extra time but also the clarity of mind, and the fact that I no longer slave myself to be "better" (earn more, be popular, etc) just to keep getting girls.

    I'm lucky that I get to have great sex with my wife 1-2 times a week and I fap maybe 2-3 times a month when bored and alone. Aside from that, I don't think about sex anymore (which was a real problem before).

      I remember when I started taking Lexapro (I've stopped taking it) and my libido evaporated. I was so happy. You can just live your life without the curse of horny. But then it came back. It always comes back.

    Yes, there are positive aspects to being part of the dwindling age demographic you belong to, just gotta make sure you can still contribute even when you're old.
    One of my worst nightmares is being a useless old fart.
