How does this happen? Do Whites simply age better, contrary to American dogma? Japanese media tells me your 30 is basically the end of your middle age and the start of your old age which for some reason lasts for 40-50 years. Meanwhile, in the West, middle age starts at 45 currently.
Would you call a 30 year old boomer a "young man"?
My father is mid-60 and just now discovered pharmaceutically fueled sex tourism.
As a male your life is going strong close until the end.
As a woman it's basically over at the very latest at 40, very rare cases of hot cougars at 50, but due to biological changes, they loose all inherent lust.
I'd say at about 30, the lines of male growth and female decline meet each other.
The people of Jannah are 33 yo, which afaik is considered "eternal youth" in Islam.
Naboleon thought that age 40 marks the end of "that part of life in which fortune tends ro favor us" and when his generalship would start to decline
On the other hand, in the novel Barry Lyndon which was written in mid 1800s, which I'm reading currently, it is said of a 24 yo girl that "in ten years she will be an old woman"
Etc. Opinionsare many, but the scientific truth is that 25 is the age at which you begin to degrade, and before that age you are still growing, even as a 22 to 24 young stallion
