When you approach the age 40, if you are observant, u will notice alot of changes in your life , both physically, mentality, health wise, and people's approach to u...

Some of this changes are listed below through person experience

People's approach to you

1. You will begin to notice the addition of "sir" when younger ones greet you.. this is not to say people don't greet you when you turned 30. But this time around alot of sir will accompany the greetings

2. Alot of aged ladies will b attracted to you if u are still single...

3. Almost everyone that doesn't know you will assume u are married if u are not by that age

3. Any kid playing around you will b assume to b your child by strangers

4. You will b gossiped about alot by everyone in your neighborhood if you are not married yet at that age
5. If u are single ,you will no longer b able to date young girls for two reasons:

1. Is the unmatched appearance together as society will speak about it too much
2. The girls will stylishly say no, cuz to them you are old.. u now have white beards and monstach

Physical changes

1. You will begin to grow grey hair from 35 up

2. Your face will naturally begin to drop from 38.. there will b this obvious daily deep lines running down from your nose sideways down to your side mouth... It will get deeper and more glaring with time

3. You mind will mostly be about finance and good life rather than women

4. You will not b able to jump wide gutters as easily as you previously can..not cuz you can't do it anymore, but your guts will fail u

5. If you are a fast worker, your speed will reduce

6. You may not easily get tired after long work, but your time for body restoration of your energy will now take longer

7. You will begin to wake late unless u maintained the alarm culture...to beat this u need to sleep early unlike the youths..

8. If you embark on a long road travel and you belong in the group of never sleeping in the bus, you will begin experience sleeping in the bus often..

9. From 35 up, u will lower your hair cuts and before or around 40 if u are not an obviously hairy person, u will move to barbing skin hair cut..this is because u will lose very visible part of your hair (baldness) and to measure it up will lead to u barbing skin...

Health changes

1. Family history health concerns will begin to show up..e.g bad eyesight. Etc

2. New set of age prone health issues will also become your concern as BP, low sugar, high sugar breathing problem will all b your concern...

3. Your prowess in the other room will reduce, urge is not affected, but efectiveness will..

Stay there and b joking " not entirely true" read them well again.. I purposely excluded self made struggles...

Can u stop grey hair cus of your lifestyle..? Or stop family trend bad eyesight cuz if your lifestyle..?

Read the health part.. I used the phrases " will become your concern" that shows it is a concern, but may not really affect u.. but u see the rest, it's a sure thing!

Nothing will stop any of these from happening because not a cautious lifestyle.. they are sure things.. bad or streefull lifestyle tell in old age mainly on health... Most of the things I listed are not health related...
.grey hair must come from 37up...

If u are not obviously hairy, bald hair will begin to show up from 37 also.... Whether u live caution life of twenties or not... BP concern will b there , high blood or low blood pressure concern will b there.. they are just stuffs which 40+ look out for...

U see, ur lifestyle doesn't stop u from being more Xtra tired from same amount of work out in btw u and a young guy of say 26-28... U will notice that ur body takes longer time to fully gain 100% strength after stressing it

plus Prostate issues.


Nobody will tell you to adopt healthy practices.



OP, you are very much on point.

Then you will begin to seriously mind what you eat.
Exercise becomes a necessity.

I have seen some people especially ladies in thier late 30's complain of gradually getting bad eyesight. I am always afraid of telling them it's as a result of aging.

I am way above the age the guy used out there as a benchmark but guess what?

a, I still gym. I have a mini gym at home and i do compete with the supposed younger persons on virtually all programs
b. I still play football and should actually be leaving for the pitch at 3.30pm this evening (I am an All-Stars member). I am featuring in a match.

There are so many other things that don't work the way he outlined them, but yes age must have its effects. I am no longer the tiger I used to be in za oza room but then, I think more about investments now than prowess under the duvet. We give financial orgasm now.
