What's it like to be 30?

I'll be 30 in a couple of years so I'm wondering if anyone who is actually 30 or who has already been through it can describe what it's like...
I've just been thinking back on what it was like to be 20 years old and 25..and now being 27, it's actually a lot different.
I wonder what 30 is like..
How would you describe it? What can I expect?

 

I've forgotten...

 

In a word: depressing.

 

being 30 isn't like it used to be. these days its more like turning 21 and you're actually considered an adult.

 

30 was nothing.

 

only two responses and I already don't wanna be 30!
ha ha..

 

You're actually right. 30 seems to be the age people actually move out of their parents home, ha..

 

Apparently as you get older, your eyes go bad.
:devil:

 

About the time I turned 30, I started to feel like a real adult for the first time.

 

I can only tell from my own experience ofcourse, but when you turn 30 apparently a hot girl comes to you and gives you the best blowjob you ever had.

 

A lot has changed since I turned 30 in that I've had sort of an awakening. I started to care about things I didn't before: my appearance, my health, finding a suitable partner, having kids, etc. I never gave a shit about any of this, it seemed, until I hit 30. I think it has to do with the realization that time passes a lot faster than we think, and there is a limited window of opportunity to do the things best done while still young. I am sort of envious when I see healthy, happy married couples who are my age that have children. I mean, it really isn't me at all, but there is a certain normalcy and fulfillment I see in some people's lives that I want in my own, which I didn't care much about before.

 

I think 30 was easy on me because I have no biological clock and didn't go through what other women go through at that age.

 

the only thing you can expect to change, is kids in school will think you're old enough to be their parent, because you will be, but other then that, don't expect to feel any different. you probably won't.

 

I agree a women turning 30 is like a man turning 40.

 

I surely hope not that a man turning 20 is like a girl turning 10, because otherwise I'm in big trouble.

 

You become utterly useless. Time for us to die.

On a serious note, I feel like nothing really changed body wise. Yeah, I'm a year away but what's a year? I used to worry about this but it's silly so I decided not to care. You get a better sense of the reality you live in and your place in the world. 30 is seen as the age when a person truly becomes an adult. I never see myself having kids but I can see myself getting into things I normally wouldn't years ago.

 

Prime of my fucking life.

A bit of a decreased sex drive, but I don't care.

 

I was 30 when I had my son. Anyways, I was pretty much just focused on that and didn't really notice or mind turning 30. Somewhere around 32 though (I'll be 33 in a little more than a month) I started to feel not old cause I feel healthy and know I'm not old, old, but.... okay, old... in a sense that when you're 26, 27, 28, 29... you can think to yourself "Oh I'm in my 20's..." and put off feeling older. Now that I'm approaching mid 30's... you realize you can't get away w the shit you got away with in your 20's and you don't want to either. I don't know. For me it's weird but I think to sum it up I actually feel like a grown up now and I didn't at all in my 20's.

 

Really? Not me. If anything mine has increased.
