I'm 30. Am I supposed to be grown up now?

unwashed potato! · 1 Dec 2015 at 22:09

for me, i worry about turning 30 (2.5 years away), because a) i'll realise the plans which i made when i was 20, i didn't complete, and b) have to start dating older girls.

Fairly sure the answer is no said:

Exact same age as you. Two questions:
1. You made plans?
2. You date girls?

I've went wrong somewhere along the way....

I hit the big 40 three years ago and I still haven't grown up:

You will forget all that when you realize mens health deteriorates from 30.

I pay no attention to my age. I just carry doing what I want to regardless of whether or not it's the way someone of my age should behave.

It's just a number.

I said 43, not 63! I've got a good 20 years to go before I consider the choice between buying a Harley or giving up riding!

No.

Carry on...

30 all down hill? naaah, depends on the person of course but for me i peaked physically at about 42, after that getting muscle pulls and strains was easier. so i just go longer and easier with a bit less pain

getting older and losing near sight sucks though

Just remember folks..that if you thought the years 20 to 30 went quick, 30 to 40 go quicker, and 40 to 50 even quicker, and then by 50, they start racing by.

The motto...don't think you will have time to do all the things you want to do in your life...if you leave it all till your later years!!

Happy birthday dude, I'm turning 30 in 5 weeks, Will that stop me from playing games, Going on nights out, Having fun etc... ? Nope.

To me growing up just means taking responsibility for yourself, Doesn't mean you have to turn into a zombie

Yeah, i found 30 deeply upsetting too... Ended up trading in my Diesel Citroen C4 for a Subaru Impreza and everything! Ha!

I'm over it now though. (But still have the Impreza.. Just.)

I find this mentality so strange, what is it that you feel changes over a matter of days when you turn 30?

49 here and I still build and collect lego, watch some cartoons anime, some adventure time and such. Plus play video games.

Grow up, not a chance.
