Turning 50 is a bigger deal than what most men could expect and few Men are willing to talk about.............This is my personal experience and feelings on turning
Damn, +John, you sound like a loser. No offence. Personally, I don't want to look at a wrinkled up bag of fat menopausal flesh every day, who is likely to be nagging you 24/7 and have SERIOUS emotional problems. Actually, I take the loser comment back. You actually sound like a WOMAN! You are weak and simply cannot stand to be in your own company, probably because you have done very bad things to people in your life.
stroking yourself (which i've done plenty of) is pathetic unless you have a women (s) and are just bored. i would encourage single males. don't go withought female physical interaction for more than two years. you will just become weird. and no i'm not saying go to hookers. meet up with a hot lady just dont let her control you. i am married with two kids but have gone as long as 6 years withought a women. i wouldnt suggest it.
Today that would be considered a win win! But when we were young, if you hadn’t been married and/or had kids by 40, something was wrong with you and before then you married and had kids out of pressure if you didn’t have passion for your significant other.
I agree. I'm older than you and still have all my hair only a little gray in my beard. Those wife and kids take your hair and turn all remaining hair gray
Turning 50 in August.. The last three years of my life have not been good. Wife of 23 years went bat shit crazy and I have been dealing with that fallout for some time. Divorce pending. (Thank God).. Going on a solo moto camping ride in a couple of weeks through the Sierra Nevada mountains.. Hope it will be a time to reflect on both the good and the bad in my life, and to help me focus on my future. My version of a vision quest I guess.. Still facing a tough shitty road ahead with my pending divorce, but I will survive it. I guess it's the realization at almost 50 that "I Will Survive" this storm, whatever she and the courts throw at me that gives me a sense of comfort. Its painful, but i will survive it.. As I head down the last few months of my 40's I look ahead in anticipation not trepidation.. Wisdom or wishful thinking? I have no fucking idea, but I'm ready to face it whatever it is. Thanks Kiwi.
GEI468 All the best man!!.......It can look and feel like a lot though at least its happening now while you're strong enough to recover, I've known of women in their 70's and even 80's throwing their husbands in a home and selling everything and heading for the hills leaving the old guys kids to pay for everything, my bat shit crazy Grandmother did that to my 82 year old Grandfather......Enjoy your ride into the Mountains, it will bring you many answers!
Liquidate ALL your assets and have a gambling problem when you go on your vision quest. "Lose it all" by burying the cash in the mountains. Then go into Gambler's Anonymous and seek treatment. Watch the surprise on your soon to be ex's face when you then claim the losses in divorce! Half of nothing is NOTHING bitch!!
Enjoy the ride. It's a beautiful area. Life sucks at times but it changes all the time. The Rockies are amazing as well! Might as well start thinking about the next kick ass trip you want to go on as a free man!
I am 55 yo now. I have had an interesting life and i have been very lucky so far. My girlfirend of the past 25 years is a dream woman. She sees me as a king and treats me like one. We built a successful business together and she drives the partnerships and much more… My dream is to grow old together. This dream was broken today when her oncologist called to say she is now in cancer relapse. I realize i will grow old without her. This life and all we buil together isn’t worth it without her. I dont know how to be a broken lonely old man.
We as a species are at a cross roads currently. Many on both side have been indoctrinated into hating the other, a world of division and this is a rediculous concept. Men and women need each other more than we realise so to be open to learning about the opposite of who we are is a very very intelligent thing to do. That you for watching the video Mimi, I greatly appreciate that you watched it 😊🙏
I'm 46 and have been an active weight lifter my whole life. I run three times a week and seek out cardiovascular exercise outside as much as I can. No gut on me - just six pack abs. I also eat as organically as I can and rarely drink alcohol, which for me is just some wine or a couple beers on occasion. With the exception of a few aches and pains and the understanding that injuries won't heal as quickly, I truly feel like I've always felt even in my twenties. That said, I had my mid-life crisis already! :) So at least I got that out of the way. Anyway, men, take care of yourself is the point I'm trying to get across. YOU are the most valuable asset in your life you will ever have!!! You will never regret taking good care of yourself.
Well done. 55 here still working out and walking everyday. My knees hurt when walking upstairs but I try and take lifts if possible. Love spending money on myself and eating good healthy food. I think like you. Mgtow should look after themselves, eat healthy and spend money on themselves and flip the bird to misandry.
Do keto. Use your enery on being productive; instead of wearing your body out. Cut out the carbs and sugar. Life and fitness is a std distribution curve and adapt to it or burn out.
Same here friend except for 2 things, i drink beer and smoke cigs once a week with my friends, we been cooking out once a week for 25 years. other than that i do vegetarian/pescatarian , walk, jog, workout and practice BJJ. I can still do all the things i did as a younger man, i just cant do them that often LMAO!😉
@@AnthonyL0401 51, and I haven't missed a single workout yet. 🙃 I can't afford to tbh, I like my health too much. It's a lifestyle choice but it isn't always easy
YOU SPOKE TRUTH - Amen to you! I am a Caregiver for a Senior Living Facility... I watch and feel everything you have said! Again, Nicely put! - GOD BLESS You Darlin!
im 30 and been watching your videos for a bit and honestly learned more from you than my parents/relatives/friends in my entire life... keep up the good work sir!
Good stuff, thanks mate.. 52 now..feeling like I'm out on a peninsula over looking all the knowledge I have gained to this point in my life.. I'm very proud of myself, and all the little personal accomplishments..ive put alot of work into my life..I feel like I have all these tools, I can literally do , or go anyplace, and do anything I want and no one can say a damn thing... I'm standing on my empire.over looking the world .hahaha..metaphorically.. ..im can not figure out how it can get any better then this?..its amazing, and kind of unnerving at the same time for me.. I just need to take a deep breath..and simply get going...its that simple... When I space out or freeze up..just keep going, and do the next right thing..the results will take care of themselves God Bless, and Cool, Calm vibes to all you brothers out there...Live strong 💪
As a 50 year old woman your thoughts clearly resonate with me. I have worked unendingly to establish my career, care for my family and marriage, work, keep the house, be a kind mother, daughter, wife, person. I have now had enough of giving to everyone else. I just feel old, in a rut and tired. I now need to make my future years about my husband and I. It's time for us to stop striving and start living in peace doing what we love. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
63 Years old. If someone asks I will tell them what I think. I find people don`t always value your opinion the older you get. I still work full time. I just keep moving forward. 50s are a good time. Enjoy.
Fit freak . Here is a couple of things. Say no. When people want you to go or do something you don`t want to or cant do, just say NO. Last year I was curling 100 lb bar . Benching 240 lbs training in the gym. This dosn`t mean I can move a shit load of furniture and appliances up stair cases. Even though your older people especially women of all ages see you as a work horse. Someone to be put to work. Just say NO. Keep moving and watch what you eat. If you lose your ability to move your screwed. Protect yourself.
Im a woman,53 n hardly have older women that can tell me what to expect.I already went thru menopause n I don't have any sexual desire.I know men still get desire cuz I had a boyfriend in his 60s when i was in my 40z .Your video is the 1st one ive seen of its kind.
Good advice. I was always telling the young soldiers to leave off getting married until they were at least 25-30 years old. And to not be roped into marriage until they had had 'a life'. Urged them to go and travel, to save up and buy that car, to go on 'boys weekends' and have guy time.
You where doing them a great service, I hoped many listened as it was feminine advise. You would've seen many many young boys in men's bodies that's for sure. Thank you for doing a greater service than just being in the Service of this great country, I live in the U.S.A
@@tekiwi Thanks. A lot of them did - in fact, over 50% were inspired to 'go for it'. To those that were planning on getting married, I discouraged them - even had one fiance get mad at me! However, I got her to think outside the box and gave her a lesson in male/female brains. She was grateful, and while they did get married, their relationship was better for it. They still return for advice. However, sadly, I couldn't stop some of the stubborn b**gers! (chuckling). I had an advantage, I guess, as they would come to me and sit down for a chat when they were tired after running around and training all day. They were eager to learn new stuff and a few of them have kept in contact over the years - I was priviledged to become a bit of a 'old mum' to them - especially those with broken families. Just a small correction: I wasn't 'in' the service myself - I was a civilian working for military welfare teams. Keep up the good work. Enjoying your videos and glad that men are finally beginning to take back their power. Well done.
God bless your Heart for making this video I'm gonna be 50 not quite there yet but I've been having the exact same feelings and I accually thought my mind was going south LBVS again thank you
I think what your eluding to is what we call a mid life crisis. I turned 50 last June and yes it gets you thinking about a lot of things. For me is the realization that I have lived more life than what i have in front of me. Your going to be ok Kiwi. Your a good person.
As a woman, I relate to you on turning 50. I have succeeded from nothing and became my own person with no support. I have and still do have responsibilities, including always doing for others most of my life. I had no real childhood. I had to grow up fast. When do I do for myself? Being a child at heart again sounds awesome.
When I hit 50 I thought ... arrr there is a light at the end of the tunnel ... its my mortality, Im 60 this year and mgtow and loving life ! keep healthy and active, be kind and enjoy everything , even the crap. none of it really matters.
Well done. I am Aussie of 58 years and I look at it like us blokes tear around making sure the family is ok but in the process we forget about our needs.
Thank you for this video. I am in my early 30s and over the past few years have been thinking about how I will feel around the age of 50 and have been speaking with older men on their insights, lessons learned that they are able to share.
Keep yourself healthy and fit, don't stress the stuff you have zero control over and pick your fights wisely, most of all be happy and do what you love for you will always have a dollar in your pocket.........Sounds cliché though true!
HBOX1000 I'm dating a 41 year old ph.d psychologist who runs her own firm and she loves my fit young body ;). I do find that older women tend to match me more frequently on the swipe apps.
Oh wow. I am a 20-year-old female and I was looking for a perspective of older people and how you do perceive things and the world. As people in my family never really talked about these things with me, I am really thankful I found your video, it really got me to see the world from your perspective as well as realise what am I supposed to expect at your age. Thanks once more!
Not sure which part of Eastern Europe you’re from however I do know (Travelled Russia and Ukraine a number of times) that the elders in that part of the world are very reserved as they are in Western Society so you’re not alone in this respect. We as humans are continually changing and evolving on a day to day basis and we face dramatic changes as we get older. Be you, embrace who you are and don’t be afraid to be honest with yourself. Eat well and exercise as feeling good about who you are is key beyond anything in this world ✌️
@@tekiwi I am from Slovakia, but the Eastern Europe countries are not so different from each other. Once more, thanks for the advice - I really appreciate it! Take care.
I agree with you . In turning 50 something, plus shipping and handling, finishing things that i didn't when I was younger motivate me to relight the fire. I am thankful to all who cross my path in good and uncomfortable ways that contributed in making me a better person. If you have a faith, which I do, first thank god for giving an opportunity to be a better person today that I was yesterday. I am paying more attention to my health like the types of food I can better digest. I am in good health and there is room to improve. Thank you for your honest opinion knowing that others think the same.
There is an age Wall that men hit. A time when they realize things don't 'work' as they once did [unless you're popping pills or using a vacuum for 'it'] , slowly but surely women stop showing interest and want younger men, and being jaded from life colors things far more than men expect. I won't even get into the 'looks' angle. The life you have lived is what shows in your face and in your body. Nothing 'snaps back' like it used to. Even men have a harder time keeping up with younger bucks. 50 is a reality that one's life is coming to an eventual end. Make the best of what time left that you have been given. Life on this planet is ALWAYS a one-way ticket. JMHO.
I'm 18 and I'm speechless after watching your videos, I'm so lucky to find this channel and got a chance to experience the life of an excellent man in his 50 is just unbelievable... Thanks a lot Sir.
@@hgvind You should focus on all those items whether you're with a woman or not. All the items that you attain/gain in your life are there to complement your life, they shouldn't rule your life and it's the same with females. If they're not enhancing/complimenting your life then they're ruling your life.. Thats why I said stay away from the Players world as everything those guys do is about getting women so thus women are ruling the players world. I solid grounded Man will focus on himself and that will attract the right women, a grounded solid woman. The Player only attracts players because that's the vibe they're putting out.
@@tekiwi Now it perfectly makes sense. The first part of complementing instead of ruling is mind-blowing, I haven't thought like that. If I'm a player I'll get that type of girls , if I'm a gentleman i would get a good feminine woman... Now I understood the message. Thanks Sir, thanks for taking the time to help me clear these doubts.
I'm 45, I keep fit, and don't feel like I'm old. It's only a number, keep going, sure you won't be 20, again, but you can stay quite strong and youthful as long as you're active.
Hah, I'm 53. No need for a mid life crisis since I got that out of the way when I went MGTOW, 21 years ago. My house is a man cave and it's all paid for. Except for work I've done pretty much what I wanted to do. I don't worry about having a really meaningful life though. I don't recall volunteering to come into this world so I'll just do whatever I want while I'm here (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone).
Smart men don't make kids.If you make kids you are helping society to trap you.Society was created and ruled by the elit(and still is and will always be) .Society means that the common individual man will SUFFER for others and especially for the fucking elit who are clever evil LAZY people. I cant do kids and get through this unfair life when i their father will gather ''food'' and other people will taking it from me over and over again for the ''common good''.Taxes will NEVER stop,stealing will NEVER stop,slavery will NEVER stop.Thats a rule.So why bother?Just get out and quickly enjoy what is out there for yourself trying to live as FREE as you possible can by running away from problems and chains.And not making a family is a starting point.They will not need poor people's births anyway,they will have robots.And let the others worry about the future which is NEVER good for the majortity of people.
54 years old. Here. I'm not going to look at what I've accomplished because that means i've stopped. Excellent insights, thanks. No idea why I clicked on this video, perhaps out of curiousity? None the less I'm glad I did.
I turned 50 this year and I still feel like I'm 20. I can't tell you how grateful I am the the good Lord allowed me to have the insight years ago to never get married, and to never have kids. I do what I want when I want.
Finally someone mentions God. In all comments, it is all like they had no grace or help from God. One even called his health a product of his genetic lottery. Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart for remembering our Lord.
I hit the genetic lottery physically, turn 55 this year and still built like a 20 yr old running back but I do exercise 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, run at least 2 miles a day, every day. The only change I made is that I participate in ZERO activities that could result in injuries (motorcycles, bicycles, skiing etc). I plan on keeping my atlas body till at least 75
I run 12km or walk 20km on day one. Day two I swim 1500 to 2000 metres. Day three I do a weight circuit training. Two times a week with one day off. I'm in my sixties and recently completed a 100km ultramarathon after upping the running for 15 weeks. My aim is to keep doing what I'm doing for another decade. In my case. It's not luck. It's just good management. There is no easy road to anywhere worth going.
Good talk, Kiwi...I got all that mid-life stuff out quite early...I figure, I'll go back to my old hobbies I enjoyed as a teen, when I hit 50yrs! I was a lucky guy to have older friends (10yrs., my senior) that informed me, plus I watched them go through what your describing...good times, brother!
Just the opposite. Cancer runs through my family like a fire through dry twigs. (My oldest brother died at 50.) So each extra year for me is like...F--- Yeah!!! Turning 50 was great...but turning 55 was amazing!!! Keep 'em coming baby...I'm ready for many more.
Hello sir. I really appreciate what you doing. I'm aged 20, an African, precisely from Cameroon. Its really great, what you're talking about in this video is really what I've been able to figure out and I gave it a name known as "the point of satiety of life" very important and very crucial. Every human has to live in a way that he wont regret in his 50s, 60s and above. One of my biggest decisions for my future is not to get married. I'm a highly sensitive person and really the type of life we live as sensitive beings is pretty much difficult that adding marriage unto it will just make life to be really unbearable. And also many other factors account for this decision too.
I spent my 20s and 30s chasing my career and ended up moving from city to city doing so. As a result, I missed out on creating meaningful relationships (since I never lasted in one town for any significant amount of time). I’m now 50 and have been in my current town for many years now, but feel it’s difficult to begin relationships now after being on my own for so many years. Lately I’ve tried to find peace and I’ve learned to be comfortable and contempt in the spot in life where I’m at.
Thank you Friend for making this video. It is very important to address the issue of men aging, the health aspects and psychological aspects too. I will be turning 51yrs.old this year. Sir you have brought up many honest truths and facts. 😎👍👍
Mid life crisis - a Man's inconvenient realization that 1) He gets one life 2) It actually belongs to him 3) He can do with it whatever he wants 4) His grey hair is attracting the kind of women who ignored him when he had dark hair. The female equivalent is "Getting Her Groove Back' because, you know, no Double Standard exists. Good men aren't supposed to enjoy anything other than work, aren't supposed to be happy unless married, and nobody wants to know that they have a sex drive, too.
@nemesisgenius Were you suffering ED while you were in a committed relationship? If so it wasn't ED; it was boredom or negative feelings in your relationship that causes your "ED". ED is kind of a bullsh•t term, because it's misleading.
I turned 50 in April, 2021 I’m EXCITED for the future! Retired (not willingly) but a NEW CHAPTER for my Beautiful life. I have a vision. No midlife crisis here. 50years of living on this planet is definitely an awakening of some kind. Living on this planet, on this journey. Self reflection, reflecting on other human beings, acceptance of what my physical body, mind and soul has accomplished and understanding where I am today. I heard one time “ life, if you live long enough, Life will show you how to live” I’m 100% Excited for my life!
Hey Lawrence, welcome back! Great video and some even better comments too. Hope to see more of your content regularly. You are definitely one of my favorite MGTOW channels.
Well, i'll be 66 in a few months. Still working full time and in fairly good nick with a few parts starting to wear out. Shoulders, a knee. I spent decades doing solo sports. Tramping, hunting, rock and ice climbing, cross country running and biking. I sustained a few injuries along the way that are now beginning to haunt me. I have always been more or less MGTOW my whole life. Never married and never will. A couple of quotes: My doc said : " Once you hit 50 anything can happen " and you may remember Paul Holmes Lawrence who said " once you hit 50 you don't give a toss about what other people think ". I have never been one to disembowel my private self emotionally in public and consider it something of a personal indulgence, usually unsolicited, in others. That said, the likes of Oprah Winfrey and others made a huge industry out of it and became incredibly wealthy. I remember reading a piece by a well regarded shrink who spoke against it. Not convinced the "mid life crisis" thing ever really happened for me. Firstly i keep busy and i do ongoing reality checks with myself. The memory baggage of how things once were gets sifted. What is useful is retained the rest, turfed. Someone else said something loosely along the lines of " harbouring regret, is perhaps the most useless and destructive of indulgences " All we ever have is the present moment and everything that has contributed to what we are now should help us live the best life we can in that moment as constructively and positively as we are able to. In earlier years i spent too much time doing for others ( particularly female family members from dead marriages ) what they could have achieved themselves if they had managed their resources better and got off their arses. Well, .... you know, equality and all that. Women do seem to have expectations and are quick to judge and label you selfish or whatever when they are not met. As others have said, there is a wear and tear and slowing down and a need to focus on exercise of mind and body & nutrition with a maintenance schedule. ( regular medical checkups ). What was it now, ....something about, being the best version of yourself out there. lol !
oh wow I'm so glad I found your channel.. I m almost 51 and I find myself watching old don rickles roasts and crying because I either miss the old days or I feel like I haven't accomplished much.. 😂😂
Couldn’t have said it better than what you’ve said! I’m now 50.... I miss the old days and spent my 40s regretting that i never got married/no children.
