I didnt get that memo. Actually I thought it was 42, you know the universal answer to everything. Its when I finish grad school. When my tours overseas begin, when I close the tale on US living, and I certainly hope it is a new life. (the old one will not be missed)

"I for one, wouldn't want to return to my 30's and I definitely wouldn't want to re-live my 20's".

Me too! I'm actually looking FORWARD to turning the "Big Four-O" next year!

This is what Forty looks like; Independent-even more so, Confident,-not caring as much as to what others may think. Turning Forty also means that I'm finally learning to NOT be afraid to be myself.

I'm learning to accept myself-imperfections and all, and to find that special someone who's brave enough to accept me as well.

So long as you are not doing the same thing at 40 that you did at 20 then yeah, otherwise you are just trying to relive a youth that is passe now.

Experience new things alone or with friends, but don't go down that road of doing the same boring things all over again, especially when you date at 40.

Once i have been there and done that i'm not doing it all over again ie: crowded clubs, and bad music you don't want to dance to.

Think outside the box and do something different it will help you feel like you are 20.

I wholeheartedly agree!

I DEFINITELY do NOT want to repeat the silly things I did in my twenties!
I do not want to re-live my youth or try to be something I'm not.

Do not forget that at 40, you have about 2/3 of you life already over, and all that is left is that you only are getting older and less capable for everything

I'll be 40 soon and the one thing that drives me nuts is how many women i had dated who were 40 or older wanted to go to clubs or over crowded bars.

Been there done that, i'm so over it, i'm not talking about an upscale lounge for adults with great music to dance to or at least great atomosphere to get to know each other.

These are teeny bopper bars where any minute you expect hear someone yell " YEAH GIRLS GONE WILD ".

I'd rather do things at 40 i never thought of doing when i was 20 so i can continue to grow from these new experiences and enjoy what's left of my life.

The irony is that so much of what you may want to do is frowned upon by women in their 40's because they think you are going through a mid life crisis.

Maybe some men are but just because i want to ride a motorcycle and buy a sports car doesn't mean i want to be an immature, pimple faced, awkard teenager again.

These are things most men just never got the chance to do when they were younger because they were focused on their education,career, or relationships where these things were not important to their growth and developement at the time.

When you are single at 40 without kids and not married you have the rare opportunity to explore growing as a person emotionally and dedicating your spare time to the pursuits that make you happy, so yes life can begin at 40 because now you have a second chance to live the rest of your life for yourself and not for everyone else.

Granted finding someone to share it with would be nice, but you have to make yourself happy first before you can make anyone else happy.

Life begins when you find the one you can grow old with. And by old I mean about to kick-the-bucket old.
just my two cents.

No life doesn't begin at 40, Life has always been moving toward death since we were born. We just don't realize it or acknowledge it. We have lived so much of it we don't even appreciate it anymore. We stop learning new things, get set in our ways, become uncompromising, stunted, jaded. We don't see magic, wonder, or beauty. We become the "I know what I want and won't compromise or settle." We don't take chances or risk. We think we know it all. No life is winding down everyday for all of us. Enjoy it while you can and don't wait for a certain age to live.

Mine will. Because I'll have my masters degree then, and be starting a new career and the only way for me is up. I have my eyes on my own health and prosperity. Anyone not with me will get left behind!

Definitely having fun at 43, I'm more comfortable in my own skin, have a good career, just working on finding that special someone now. I have the freedom to travel and I'm thinking about taking flying lessons too, oh yes the sexdrive has certainly increased aswell.

Bravo Kalkan! Life begins at any time and gets better if stay humble which is only teachable. Yari you're already too old for most women in bed unless you've done your homework lad.
Over 60 is much better I say but then I'm prejudiced just slightly, 'eh?

yes, the middle of life begins at around forty... I can attest to this first-hand seeing as I'm still on the right side of the grass (yay me).
