Snao Cone Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 While I don't think the 30s is old, having a lot of young members on AVEN without as much life experience has definitely made me feel, um, wiser. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zagadka Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I feel in this mix between young and old, especially with the whole "Millenials versus Boomers" thing. I'm at the tail end of Gen X and just kinda watching it munching popcorn, though the Millenials clearly have the upper hand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OutsidersEyes Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 30's isn't old at all, but I get it. At 29 I could be an 'older ace' when there are so many teens/early 20's aces. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GlamRocker Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Nobody even listened to me before I was thirty. As SOON as I hit the bit 3-0, whenever someone started with that, "Oh, you're just-" I'd cut them off with, "30!! I'm THIR-TY-YEARS-OLD!!" It really did shut them right up. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zagadka Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 When you hear that music on the radio, there is a stabbing feeling in the heart, both joy and existential dread. I have a love affair for 4:3 video resolution now. When I'm watching something and it is pillarboxed, it is instantly nostalgic and thus 200% better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LVG Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I didn't realize how old that album actually is! I still consider their music heavy today, let alone in the 80's. Leaper Messiah is my favorite song off the album. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

knout Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I just had this weird moment where I couldn't remember my age and thought I was 36... Then I said, no wait, I'm 35. Turns out I'm 34. That was intense. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll blame it on being old. I think I'm old. Am I..? *frantic typing* 38 years, 1 month, 15 days, 23 hours... and counting. Or 13924 days - whichever. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TreMartEyes Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Do you ever feel like something has passed you by? I am 33 and asexual and I see all these posts of kids and families. I can't stop and think did I miss something? I am biromantic and sex repulsed. I feel like the pressures of being in your 30's people ask when is the family coming? My only answer is never! I don't want anyone to touch me and I don't want a relationship. How do other 30 year olds navigate these fraught waters. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My only answer is never! I don't want anyone to touch me and I don't want a relationship. How do other 30 year olds navigate these fraught waters. Navigation is tricky. If you figure it out, please let the rest of us know! But seriously - I'm right there with you, and I reckon many others are too. There is a societal pressure for all people to pair up and breed, not to mention expectations from friends, family, health-professionals, religions, etc. etc. etc. I say NO. And that I won't change that answer. However... I am getting sick of having to explain and/or justify my decisions. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
