That just may be the best advice I’ve ever seen written on here.

I think a man’s “biological clock” kicks into overdrive in his 50s and something inside says “Whatever you’re going to do, big boy, you better do.” I kinda feel it. No plans whatsoever to “act on it.” But I kinda get why fellas do. But Straycat’s advice to channel those energies in a positive rather than destructive direction is spot on, I think. I might be a co on a BFL for a season for my midlife crisis, lol.

I think y’all both nailed it. Definitely not a desire for another woman but the realization that age is creeping in and there’s no time for lots of dreams/plans I had when I was younger. Sure I’ve still got lots of years ahead (hopefully) but “life” and responsibilities won’t allow them. Life is so busy that hobbies are pretty much a memory now. Great advice guys.

Every man has thought of his youth especially when he hits his 50’s
Some men just can’t resist the temptation to try and regain something he’s lost or thinks he’s lost
Your 50’ should be when you reflect on your life’s accomplishments and consider whether you have more years behind you than you do in front of you
At this age is when we should really make sure we have everything in order


When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

71 here. I went through a spike in testosterone
just before shedding my antlers.
(Seriously, never noticed one. Maybe not to that
stage of life yet.)

Buy a nice Harley and you can take the wife for weekend getaways to escape reality for a couple days at a time till the feeling passes. There might even be a nice one in the the classifieds, I see them there occasionally.

be careful what you ask for. every time I start to reflect on myself, the lord sends some painful affliction that just makes me want to be rid of the pain. pain and sickness can humble any man and give him a whole different set of priority's

Just make sure it’s not depression disguised as MLC. I changed jobs here at my work, and for about 2 months I though I was going crazy.
The stress of having to learn something new plus lots of OT kinda put me down for a while, but I’m good now. Only feelings I have that are out of the norm now is a willingness to spend money!! I think you get to a point in your life when you’ve worked hard and saved up some money and you think “if I don’t enjoy it now, then when”?

Wise man right here. F150 I hit a bump in my early 40's. I lacked a spiritual mentor. Someone mentioned checking your testosterone, which was part of my problem. I also learned I needed some time for me. I picked up hunting. Also you mentioned in previous post you have returned to Church and growing stronger in Christ. I believe in the power of prayer and spiritual warfare is real. Satan wants to undermine every step we take in the right direction. For me, some of my "issues" arent really issues, just some crap garage the evil one has put in my head.

I think my dad caught it at about 48-49 starting building a pony dirt track car. He built it raced it worked on it and won in it. Then the spring of 2003 at 55 he found out he had lung cancer and 3 weeks later he was gone. So i say if you want to do something don't hold back, cause tomorrow was not promised to you by no one.

I think I’m there or getting there myself. Only 41 though. I’m figuring I can’t take money with me and as long as I’m saving for retirement, might as well enjoy some of it. My kids are 14 and 16 and they’ll be moved away before I know it so trying to spend as much time with them as possible. Luckily, both love to hunt and fish. I’m truly blessed.

Did it. Told my wife I was having a midlife crisis and wanted either a Corvette, a younger wife, or a motorcycle. She told me to buy a motorcycle because I couldn't afford the first two options. grin
