Thanks to a lovely post in the bike forum (although I'm sure it wasn't meant in a positive way 🙁 )

Ahhhh man your so cool and trendy perhaps we should all follow suit and act 20 years younger than we are and wear hideous loud shorts and take plenty of self indulgent photos whilst riding along shit flat terrain like you

You iz my hero

Is anyone sad enough to act their actual age? I can't think of anything worse, long live acting like a kid! 😀

When I turned 40 I bought a big red motorbike - does that count as "acting my age"?

I still feel 18 at heart. I suspect I always will.

Nope, that's a midlife crisis. 😯

I act older than I am: I dance rock and roll, I read books written before I was born, I like cars driven by old men (I was already running around in the same car as the president in my early 30s) and spend much of my life sleeping.

Well, if we were all the same life would be pretty boring. Live and let live.

I pretend to act my age ,most of the time.
The nice thing is,I am old enough to not really give a toss what other people think 🙂

Loved riding bikes in the dirt at 14and listening to the clash, why bother changing at 50?
My mum has repeatedly told me she thinks I am peter pan. Growing up is for boring old farts.

Paladin is that acting young or a sign you watched the flowerpot men when you were a kid? . . . .

Im the last person to judge - long live my youthful mentality and I dont care what the rest of the world thinks as long as I feel young .... and stay away from mirrors 😀

I've been told that "you need to act your age, not your shoe size" a few times. I'm in the US, so my shoe size is 8-1/2. I'm 44... 😀

It doesn't matter whether I act my age, or my (european) shoe size because currently they are exactly the same.

Your age is just an indication of the number of times that you've been round the sun not an indicator of how you should behave.

ALways getting told to grow up when I was younger, always thoughts "Why would I want to do that!".

My Girlfriend says I act like I am 6 possibly going on 7 as I like riding in the wet and getting muddy as just an excuse to get muddy. I also ride through puddles.

Pingu aged 46 and three quarters.

Yes I am sad enough to act my age.

If I acted like an 18 year old douche 24/7 It is more likely than not I would not be successfully self employed with plenty of bike time.

I would be asleep till noon in jizz encrusted pants and not a sniff of pu$$y in sight.

Or in your case RD very colorful pants.

Age should not define the things you do. You define the things you do.

I lost a lot of my teen years, I'm still making them up 😉 life's too short for being old and sensible.

Due to been a bit late back from our Saturday ride - at 6pm when we should've been back we were still sampling the Pennine Way 'northshore' in the Cheviots 🙂

I'm not sure how a 44 year old mum should act, other than being a responsible parent! I can never see myself wearing beige!

It's a stupid expression. It means that as you age you should meet the misguided expectations of younger people, that is: to be less fun and energetic than them. Given the parlours state of today's youth, that's unlikely!

God, I sound old.

right so somewhere in society there is a rule that we should act in a way predetermined by the number of times the earth has circled the sun since we were born. If we don't, this upsets people?....fk 'em! do what you want, you could die tomorrow and I'd rather be the one having fun than worrying about strangers perceptions of me.

Sadly I look my age but in no way act it.
Hubby is my toyboy (yuk, dislike that expression, so we make a good team).

For people to 'act there age' there would have to be a predetermined way of acting for any particular age. That's clearly a stupid concept!

I recently had a birthday card with the mantra

'Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional'

emblazoned on the front of it.

It was my 47th birthday and came from my nephew.

I think he's got the right idea. 😀

I still automatically spot/scan every female as I walk into a pub. Terminator-style.

So no matter how old I am, I'm still an utterly-dirty bastard. Thats what counts.

I can't help where I live & I have no car. Just making the best of what I've got & having fun, surely there's no harm in that? It seems to tread on people's toes though, maybe having fun isn't their thing? *shrugs*

Ooh that was acting my age, back to acting like a kid now

my lads are 9 and 11. they stress at there iphones (which the outlaws bought them) I showed them the fisherprice phone we all had at their age and told them to stop trying to grow up so quick and act their age.

I bought them that robot lego thinking they might actually want to link their technology to real toys- needless to say it is my toy now.

I fell off my BMX and broke my skull 4 months ago and haven't been the same since (change is ok). I am only 39 and own a fisherprice.

I'm 27 and i should still like going out and getting rat arsed at the weekend. And dicking about with every woman out there. I did all that from 14 year old to about 18 and then went in the Army for 7 years.

Now i go to work, do my house duties, maybe have an hour or two on the bike then cook tea, shower and bed. Days off mostly include housework, more bike riding, and then settling down with the missus and three Bottles of wine or Champagne 🙂

Holidays used to be the usual Lads getting smashed style. Now Its lots of relaxation and exploring and sightseeing.

Sounds boring but i can't stand going out on the piss, its full of ****s. I ride a motorbike far too fast, so maybe i havent grown up in that respect.

Don't even windowshop women anymore, unless I'm on my own that is 😉 if i did, the missus would cut my dick off and feed it to our dogs. But she is 33 and and likes the same stuff as me, getting muddy and then snuggling down during the evening.

Oh, but i do listen to Iron Maiden and Uplifting Trance stupidly loud 🙂
