Paid and laid: The gentleman's guide to being over 30

Just bought a couple of linen shirts from Banana Repub the other day. Get a lot of stuff from them and J Crew as their stuff just tends to fit well.

Was not on the short sleeve button down train until recently…got a white one now and it looks p good

Got some light Sperrys for wearing with shorts and now I’m looking for some decent (non cowboy) boots that will look good with jeans. Any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Thursday Boots are an affordable option that have held up for me for 2 years now

 

Like the dark brown Presidents. Always hesitate to buy online but that’s obviously going to have the most options. Do they fit like normal sizes?

 

True to size for me

 

Bought a pair of Wolverine Romeo paddock/wellington leather boots last year. Waterproof, tough enough to wear to work, but nice enough for any place I'm wearing jeans. Maybe too "cowboy" for you, but I wear mine all the time.

 

Honestly you can answer a lot of questions for yourself and get ideas by looking at how these two in particular advertise their goods.

 

this feed is a little bland but solid

 

I remember posting in this thread, like 9 years ago. I am on my way to the new 40 years old thread in less than a year

 

I've got 3 weeks
‍

 

where are you at on your bucket list?

can’t complain, we had a nice run

 

Still working on it, but with a decent bankroll & no kids I can keep working on it even as a geriatric.

How about you?

 

I am at zero percent, my bucket list is simple, having sex with Jennifer Lopez. I am in trouble brother.

 

Cargos are good for any occasion

 

Mine seem a bit narrow

 

Hmm..Maybe you should just mail her some of your jizz & mark it off the list

 

that is a great idea, I am such a fucking idiot for not thinking about it before

 

For those wondering what that late 30s transitory period is like:

I had a couple of old browser tabs that I went to close. One was a tool to tell you if you were getting a good deal on toilet paper and the other was about vasectomies

 

Link to the toilet paper thing?

Getting married and bought a house this year so feeling pretty 30s at 37

 

Jennifer Lopez is not an uncommon name so long as you're not picky about which Jennifer Lopez you have sex with.

Wait until you hit 40 and your tabs include the info sheet for Blue Chew, side effects of minoxidil and benefits of hormone replacement therapy.

 

I’m up to about $200 in puzzles in the last few weeks. Started with 300 piecers for the kids and have moved up to 2000 pieces for me and the wife. Nothing says sexy time like “you want to finish the puzzle?”

 

I changed my vote. I'm 35 now.

 

Thankfully I still have three more years before I have to change mine, again

 

Same.

 

Getting up before anyone else to enjoy a pourover in the quiet and dimly lit living room is my old man fetish

 

Getting married to my 2nd wife in Vegas in about a week. How 40s is that?

 

Are you still married to your first wife?

 

Your living room is not dimly lit, you're just beginning to experience tunnel vision due to prolonged exposure to natural gas.

 

And I thought this was a safe space

 

that’s Vegas baby

 

I don't know a lot of things, but one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that having more than one wife at a time would not be in any kind of gentleman's guide

 

One wife is too much sometimes. I couldn’t imagine two or more.

 

Officially in the 35-39 bracket

 

Have you met her yet or are you planning on finding her next week?

 

My brothers: anyone dealt with knee pain? My joints are usually sore when playing with my kids. Has anyone had luck with some kind of compression wrap or ice routines?

 

So depends where it is, and I'm far from an expert but mine was outside the knee and it was the IT Band. Lots of stretching helped

 

if it's the IT band, you gotta foam roll the shit out of it. It will suck

 

For temporary pain ice and/or compression wraps are great.

 

I will study this phrase. I'd rather roll in pain than take a pill

 

Any wraps you like in particular?

 

Diclofenac sodium is a kick ass anti-inflammatory pill but you need to doctor to prescribe it. Always works for me

 

Well, I stopped using them about two years ago when knee pain moved up from temp to full time employee. Honestly, I never spent a bunch. Just basic ones from CVS. Would get a solid few months out of them.

 

you can get diclofenac gel for sore joints and shit like that over the counter, brand name is voltaren, store brands should be right next to it for cheaper
