I hear you, some of that is true, I experience it. What I really was getting at is fighting someone that age, I can still do pretty good myself, self-defense.
And then of course some of us age worse, it all depends, sadly I see a lot of people in their fifties that look terrible.
The getting up to pee is insane yep (you can fix it though). It started bothering my dad in his fifties, not me till later.
Yeah, my skin bleeds, bruises easily, but then I was in the sun for decades, surfing and work. The eyes (reading) sucks big time and I've had acid reflux all my life.
I'm definitely in my sixties (to be clear). Fortunately I don't have many wrinkles but I'm definitely getting a stomach...I gots to fix that.
Yeah people been worshipping youth since forever, disgusting but that's the world for you.
As an old motorcyclist friend once said to me, it's not the size (or age) of a man that matters, it's his willingness to inflict violence that counts.
True!
Maybe something like 'not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.'
My mantra as I get older: "Aging ain't for pussies".
Exactly right.
