Im looking around at my fellow middle-aged bros and things are kind of falling apart. I hear about this U-shaped curve, and to be honest, we really need to hit that right hand side of the halfpipe really soon.

by this reckoning, we have to wait till age 75 to approximate happiness we had at 20 :(

Had the same thought. Noticing family members in their late 70s irl getting noticeably more depressed due to health issues and heightened awareness of their mortality imo

i think it's basically something like this:

We all started massed together in a crowd of dudes, like 16 years old.

"The Earth" started sniping bad shit and tragedies at us, sporadically. Some bros got headshot. Gone. Some got drilled in the knee or thigh. Hobbled. Drugs, booze. Shitty parents. The riflemen started to unleash some serious clips. Great numbers of us chose liberal arts or law school. Just a cascade of dudes getting laid out, who would never really regain their footing. "The world" then launched fucking grenades. We married and/or impregnated crazy women. Fucking limbs and body parts scattered everywhere. Collateral damage. Lay-offs, ITEs, boomers, you name it. You get to my age and look around at who is still standing -- guys are alive, but their faces are twitching, there is blood (whose?) across their cheeks and foreheads, they are standing alone, no one near them. Each little noise causes our anuses to clench or release involuntarily. Shell shocked as hell. Alive, but surrounded by carnage. Dudes are crazy, paranoid about their wives, anxious to death about money, jumping painfully on one busted ankle, our backs contorted and aching, our shit in tatters.

By 40s and I imagine 50s, there are very few healthy bros left. And the fire now is raining down harder. Cancer. Accidents. Floods of alcohol. Insanity. Divorce. Kids hurt or sick or ungrateful or, God forbid, dead.

Somewhere behind the wall, the earth is sliding the "your parents are about to die" missile into its silo.

Its rough out here, bro

Happiness depends a lot on luck tbh. Tragedy and unforeseen shit happening can fuck anyone up. But absent tragedy I think 40s are a great decade for most bros.l

I think “happiness” is just accepting that life is fundamentally meaningless and as you age you get closer to death which is a relief from having to work or read nyuug posts and such.

your only chance at all is of having grandchildren while having maintained a close enough relationship, both geographically and emotionally, with your children to be a major part of their lives, otherwise all you have to look forward to is messing around with your stuff
