I am somewhat panicked about the idea, I've stated this elsewhere, that one day I'm going to be old and brown in gay culture (which in my opinion is a fundamentally white supremacist/ageist space). No thirty is not old, but it's the next milestone birthday I'll reach (in five years). This is a serious inquiry. If you are not thirty answer for your own age group. I'm rather concerned.
 
I can't even see the hill I passed over in my rear view mirror.

From what I remember, though, 30 was no big deal. Worrying about it will only make you lose all the grey hair you'll give yourself.

Really though? Maybe I'm too much of a pessimist about gay guys. But thirty seems to me like it would be a very dangerous space to attempt to inhabit. There's always some 18 year old somewhere or twenty year old, or whatever.
 
This you'll get over. I went into a bit of a panic at 25, too. 24 is the last age where you want to be older. 25 is where you want to suddenly stop and you realize you can't.

What did 30 feel like? Like the day before. By the time 30 came around I wasn't too hung up on age.

40 was even easier and I'm expecting 50 to feel pretty good.

You are too much of a pessimist. My gay life hit its peak in my 30s and 40s. You've got a lot to look forward to. But, if you're terrified about it, you'll never see what's passing you by.
 
You may not live to be thirty, then you won't have to worry about getting old.
 
I had a lot of sex in my teens & 20's but I had the most sex i've ever had once I got in my 30's.
 
Everyone that I know irl who is around thirty is some species of basket case.
 
What is it like to age?

"It's itchy and flakey, the lights are dim and your feet feel like they're wrapped in wet velvet. There's a constant winter wind that blows down from your chest into your pants. It pools there and makes your penis into an albino fish. You gasp instead of speak. Your ears become long, everything tastes like metal and you repeat your thoughts. There are too many handkerchiefs, lots of abandoned furniture and a consuming interest in umbrellas." -- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book ii

How many times do I have to tell you, Grandpa? They are in that little denture cup next to the Polident tablets in the bathroom.
 
I'm 54. No other male member of my family (on my mother's or father's side) has ever lived this long over the past few generations. So, I feel pretty good to have made it this far.

I've never been particularly bothered about growing older; it's not like anyone has any choice in the matter: you're born, you live, you age, you die..

30 was no big deal, nor 40, nor 50 ... I'm quite looking forward to being being 60 ... then 70, should I be so fortunate.
 
From the age of 21 to the age of 41 I worked behind the bar in a gay nightclub so I was in a unique position to test this myth out...and yes...it is a myth. People repeat the same bullshit over and over that when you are 30 and gay you are over the hill...no truth at all to it.

I used to do this bit where I made light of the age thing every once in awhile...when I was behind the bar I would pull down my pants and take off my shirt and ask real loud if anyone still wanted to fuck me...and I always got enough cheers...so I would say GOOD...let me know when you don't so I can start working on my personality.....

It was a joke because no matter what you look like...your attitude is what is going to carry you over...at any age....

So...between the ages of 30 and 40...I was the busiest bartender...as I was before that...until the day I left...that means I brought in the most money...which disproves the whole age thing. I worked with twinks....so what...I was nice to them and tried to show them how to work it...

My 30s...great sex...alot of it...
My 40s...great sex...alot of it...
My 50s...great sex...a little less of it....and I have to work harder to keep in shape...alot harder...but I am happier than I have ever been because I am more comfortable inside my own skin than I have ever been....

I am 57 to be exact..will be 58 in July. I will let you know when I turn 60 what happens...I expect "good health" will be my primary goal....

The secret with every age...it is about personality....attitude...your vibe...it probably helps to keep somewhat in shape

I am lucky I guess because I have always been most attracted to guys in my own age group +/- 10 years or so I skipped the creepy old man trying to lay a bunch of bullshit on a much younger guy to get laid phase. I used to watch that unfold in front of me when I bartended and alot of times I felt like throwing up in my mouth...

I guess if someone only likes teenagers and 20 somethings getting old might suck for them....
 
Perhaps if the Gay Youth stopped believing that 30 is Over The Hill and Gay Jurassic Park and accepted that one day they too will be 30, then 30 would stop being Over The Hill.

Start with you believing it.
