When you get older, what is thing you fear most?

[RaKroma]

I fear the loneliness that will come without your own family or a partner; the fear of losing the closest people around you to age; and I fear of aging process and the medical problems that come with it.

My husband dying (he's older than me).

AHEM.

mimimimimimimiiiiiiii

Ahem.

When I turned 30, I was in charge of a very successful business. I used my money to ensure that I could purchase go-go boys and escorts, but to my dismay I discovered that they did not respect my success even though I could afford to buy their time. I DEMAND RESPECT. HOW DARE TEHY NOT RESPECT me because I could buy any one of them. And I'm very good looking so they owe me respect for that too.

Plus, my employees hate me, which I'm okay with because that means they fear me as they should, but the SHOULD ALSO SHOW RESPECT.

Thank you,
- Bankside.

When you get to 30 plus, and have lost the magic to attract would you feel the same or would you fear of being alone for the rest of your life? What would you do?

You might have parties or BBQ with friends but you won't have anybody to cuddle in bed.

Curious if a pet would help?

I most fear old age, and all the maladies, and pitfalls that go along with it.

As for being alone, I've already been alone for nearly 51 years. I'm 99% sure I'll be alone for whatever time I have left. Yes, it sucks. No, pets don't help. Gasoline, whiskey, music, and internet help a little bit...

Anybody who's fearing "getting older" at 30 is out of their mind.

Good comment....I'm in my 20s, college degree, Gym membership, German Luxury Car, exclusive bachelor condo, and yet things don't seem as promised....

My Ego mislead me..............I'd hate to see what Old Age reveals if I'm currently feeling this way in my 20s

I am most concerned with running into ageist ass holes such as some I have seen on This web site.

Anyone who already thinks that passing 30 is old age and even if it was F off

 

[rickdboy]

You are never any age other than the one you are in this moment. The past has gone and the future is imaginary because when what you imagine arrives, it is now, it is the moment. Spend it wisely and respectfully of all who share the moment with you.

Would you mind explaining? Are you saying you expected these things to make you happy and they failed to fulfill that promise? If so, this is a valuable lesson to learn so early in life. I'd be interested in knowing more of your thoughts on this.

 

[mikey3000]

Lex, I can say as one who knows, you hit the nail squarely on the head. It was always my biggest fear also, then it happened.

Ditto. It's happening to me now also.

 

[The_Reaper]

30+ is old age now? Jeez, that makes waiting until 67for my OAS benefits even more horrendous now...

When I do get old, as in seniors discount in restaurants and other stores old; I worry mostly about my mental and physical health. If my mind starts to go, I don't think I could take it...

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

well im 30 and i honestly feel far from old. i guess the only thing that i really do fear is that i one day give into my old age and start acting like an old person.

In my comment; maybe I shouldn't have placed as much emphasis on the material things and personal accomplishments , but instead my melancholy with gay life. I have to constantly remind myself that my life will not resemble anything like that of a heterosexual couple. Making friends and finding lovers in the gay world will always contain PAIN - most of which is self inflicted by gay men themselves...If I'm feeling this way now, is there much hope for us as gay men when we're older, jaded, bitter, and wrinkled?

Less sex. Sex is the focus. As soon as sex is not the focus, you wonder what your live is about.
