Have to agree. Got several positive comments about my gray looking nice. I eye roll on the inside bc sooner rather than later this shit is gonna be all Gandalf the Gray. But I guess all we can do is enjoy it while we can.
I'm team Filson too, but I've also taken to a backpack (this emasculates me) for some trips. I bought my portfolio off etsy custom so it holds spiral notebooks rather than pads. Col. Littleton has great pad portfolios.
Timbuk2 is nice. I've had 5 over the last 15 years for all different purposes. also #teamsaltandpepperhair
Thread title should be updated to “paid and laid: the gentlemen’s guide to being over 30, unmarried, and having no kids”.
33 now. Two kids, a wife, lovely home, and a bajillionaire. Things are great. Though the sex is very few and far between rn.
Checking in.. Married for 4 years, no kids. Went to Chicago in April, Canada next month & Germany/Switzerland for Octoberfest. Having 6 figure income, no student loans or kids is the ripe tits. Its the only redeeming quality of being old af
Feel like this thread could use this bit by John Mulaney: I’m 35, but I’m still like, “Hey, when am I going to get big and strong?” This is it. It’s just going to be this. I’m like an iPhone, it’s going to be worse versions of this every year, plus I get super hot in the middle of the afternoon for no reason. As I get older, it’s tough to not get grumpy. It’s tempting. I get grumpy about some things. Like, I can’t listen to any new songs because every new song is about how tonight is the night and how we only have tonight. That is such 19-year-old horseshit. I want to write songs for people in their 30s called “Tonight’s No Good, How About Wednesday? Oh, You’re in Dallas on Wednesday? Okay. Well, Let’s Just Not See Each Other for Eight Months And It Doesn’t Matter at All.”
It’s great this used to be for the old members of the board now it’s the average. About to reach 35 btw
im about a year late here but i bought a bag on amazon from these ppl and it's crazy how high-quality / cheap they are : http://www.passionleather.com/
Turning 38 in August and I’m still unmarried and without kids. I do have a dope fucking girlfriend and two stupid beagles though. She doesn’t want kids or marriage.
Turning 35 next month. Married two kids. My friends and I have reached the age where if we play sports someone is injured immediately. One buddy just shredded his achilles playing tennis. I now look forward to the little things like it now being summer so my kid doesn't have baseball and soccer every single Saturday and now I have more time to clean the pool pavers and skim the pool so it's looking it's best before 8 or so six year olds destroy my entire backyard. Done with your brownie? It's fine that you just threw it in the pool.
Turn 34 this year. Finally got a mortgage, yard work, and first kid will be here in a month or so. Best I’ve ever felt. Lots of money and the in-laws just keep buying us expensive shit without even asking for any of it. Sad that the wife and I can’t travel for a couple years.
