I know these things have already been mentioned, but the fivehead (soon to be sixhead) and grays in the beard are the best visual indicators. I'm only 31.
I actually kind of like the grays (bring 'em on!) and don't mind a bit of a receding hairline, but at the rate it's going now, I expect to be pretty thin in a few years. At least in front. Totally not fair as my dad and his brother both have full heads of hair, and my younger brother hasn't shown any signs of hairloss yet (though he's only 25, so maybe that will come in a few more years).
I also can't do sleep deprivation like I used to. Now when I get only 6 hours a few nights in a row, I can barely get out of bed!

I'll be 31 in a couple months. Ever since I turned 30 this whole age thing has me thinking.

I meet folks and when I find out that they are 30,31,32 I often find myself wondering if I look as old as they do.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend a few hours at VT. I found myself walking around campus with a beer belly, aviator glasses, and obviously not dressed the part.

As I strolled around campus glancing at a plethora of tight young bodies that I will never get to experience every again in this life, it struck me...

I am "that guy". You know, the creepy old guy that ogles the porcelain skin beauties as they walk by.

Reading every complaint in this thread registered by folks who start out with "I just turned 31 ..." And I just turned 52. Realistically though, I only recognize my age when I look in a mirror. The rest of the time I am 25.

Ah yes, the mirror and also every time you reach for the little blue pill. Just kidding!

When I'm so old that I stop looking, please just take me out back and shoot me. There's no point in hanging around anymore.

When lifting nearly full BK's & buckets of wort or beer is getting to be a bit much. Especially when you have to walk with a cane & carry it.

When I start a DYI project that requires quite a bit of chiseling ... and I hit my hand twice for every strike on the chisel. Ouch!

For the love of god man, there's one of those tight young bodies that's got daddy issues to reslove.

Help her resolve those issues.
