Turning 50 is a bigger deal than what most men could expect and few Men are willing to talk about.............This is my personal experience and feelings on turning
Damn, +John, you sound like a loser. No offence. Personally, I don't want to look at a wrinkled up bag of fat menopausal flesh every day, who is likely to be nagging you 24/7 and have SERIOUS emotional problems. Actually, I take the loser comment back. You actually sound like a WOMAN! You are weak and simply cannot stand to be in your own company, probably because you have done very bad things to people in your life.
stroking yourself (which i've done plenty of) is pathetic unless you have a women (s) and are just bored. i would encourage single males. don't go withought female physical interaction for more than two years. you will just become weird. and no i'm not saying go to hookers. meet up with a hot lady just dont let her control you. i am married with two kids but have gone as long as 6 years withought a women. i wouldnt suggest it.
Today that would be considered a win win! But when we were young, if you hadn’t been married and/or had kids by 40, something was wrong with you and before then you married and had kids out of pressure if you didn’t have passion for your significant other.
I agree. I'm older than you and still have all my hair only a little gray in my beard. Those wife and kids take your hair and turn all remaining hair gray
Turning 50 in August.. The last three years of my life have not been good. Wife of 23 years went bat shit crazy and I have been dealing with that fallout for some time. Divorce pending. (Thank God).. Going on a solo moto camping ride in a couple of weeks through the Sierra Nevada mountains.. Hope it will be a time to reflect on both the good and the bad in my life, and to help me focus on my future. My version of a vision quest I guess.. Still facing a tough shitty road ahead with my pending divorce, but I will survive it. I guess it's the realization at almost 50 that "I Will Survive" this storm, whatever she and the courts throw at me that gives me a sense of comfort. Its painful, but i will survive it.. As I head down the last few months of my 40's I look ahead in anticipation not trepidation.. Wisdom or wishful thinking? I have no fucking idea, but I'm ready to face it whatever it is. Thanks Kiwi.
GEI468 All the best man!!.......It can look and feel like a lot though at least its happening now while you're strong enough to recover, I've known of women in their 70's and even 80's throwing their husbands in a home and selling everything and heading for the hills leaving the old guys kids to pay for everything, my bat shit crazy Grandmother did that to my 82 year old Grandfather......Enjoy your ride into the Mountains, it will bring you many answers!
Liquidate ALL your assets and have a gambling problem when you go on your vision quest. "Lose it all" by burying the cash in the mountains. Then go into Gambler's Anonymous and seek treatment. Watch the surprise on your soon to be ex's face when you then claim the losses in divorce! Half of nothing is NOTHING bitch!!
Enjoy the ride. It's a beautiful area. Life sucks at times but it changes all the time. The Rockies are amazing as well! Might as well start thinking about the next kick ass trip you want to go on as a free man!
Hah, I'm 53. No need for a mid life crisis since I got that out of the way when I went MGTOW, 21 years ago. My house is a man cave and it's all paid for. Except for work I've done pretty much what I wanted to do. I don't worry about having a really meaningful life though. I don't recall volunteering to come into this world so I'll just do whatever I want while I'm here (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone).
Smart men don't make kids.If you make kids you are helping society to trap you.Society was created and ruled by the elit(and still is and will always be) .Society means that the common individual man will SUFFER for others and especially for the fucking elit who are clever evil LAZY people. I cant do kids and get through this unfair life when i their father will gather ''food'' and other people will taking it from me over and over again for the ''common good''.Taxes will NEVER stop,stealing will NEVER stop,slavery will NEVER stop.Thats a rule.So why bother?Just get out and quickly enjoy what is out there for yourself trying to live as FREE as you possible can by running away from problems and chains.And not making a family is a starting point.They will not need poor people's births anyway,they will have robots.And let the others worry about the future which is NEVER good for the majortity of people.
Mid life crisis - a Man's inconvenient realization that 1) He gets one life 2) It actually belongs to him 3) He can do with it whatever he wants 4) His grey hair is attracting the kind of women who ignored him when he had dark hair. The female equivalent is "Getting Her Groove Back' because, you know, no Double Standard exists. Good men aren't supposed to enjoy anything other than work, aren't supposed to be happy unless married, and nobody wants to know that they have a sex drive, too.
@nemesisgenius Were you suffering ED while you were in a committed relationship? If so it wasn't ED; it was boredom or negative feelings in your relationship that causes your "ED". ED is kind of a bullsh•t term, because it's misleading.
63 Years old. If someone asks I will tell them what I think. I find people don`t always value your opinion the older you get. I still work full time. I just keep moving forward. 50s are a good time. Enjoy.
Fit freak . Here is a couple of things. Say no. When people want you to go or do something you don`t want to or cant do, just say NO. Last year I was curling 100 lb bar . Benching 240 lbs training in the gym. This dosn`t mean I can move a shit load of furniture and appliances up stair cases. Even though your older people especially women of all ages see you as a work horse. Someone to be put to work. Just say NO. Keep moving and watch what you eat. If you lose your ability to move your screwed. Protect yourself.
When I hit 50 I thought ... arrr there is a light at the end of the tunnel ... its my mortality, Im 60 this year and mgtow and loving life ! keep healthy and active, be kind and enjoy everything , even the crap. none of it really matters.
I'm 46 and have been an active weight lifter my whole life. I run three times a week and seek out cardiovascular exercise outside as much as I can. No gut on me - just six pack abs. I also eat as organically as I can and rarely drink alcohol, which for me is just some wine or a couple beers on occasion. With the exception of a few aches and pains and the understanding that injuries won't heal as quickly, I truly feel like I've always felt even in my twenties. That said, I had my mid-life crisis already! :) So at least I got that out of the way. Anyway, men, take care of yourself is the point I'm trying to get across. YOU are the most valuable asset in your life you will ever have!!! You will never regret taking good care of yourself.
Well done. 55 here still working out and walking everyday. My knees hurt when walking upstairs but I try and take lifts if possible. Love spending money on myself and eating good healthy food. I think like you. Mgtow should look after themselves, eat healthy and spend money on themselves and flip the bird to misandry.
Do keto. Use your enery on being productive; instead of wearing your body out. Cut out the carbs and sugar. Life and fitness is a std distribution curve and adapt to it or burn out.
Same here friend except for 2 things, i drink beer and smoke cigs once a week with my friends, we been cooking out once a week for 25 years. other than that i do vegetarian/pescatarian , walk, jog, workout and practice BJJ. I can still do all the things i did as a younger man, i just cant do them that often LMAO!😉
@@AnthonyL0401 51, and I haven't missed a single workout yet. 🙃 I can't afford to tbh, I like my health too much. It's a lifestyle choice but it isn't always easy
im 30 and been watching your videos for a bit and honestly learned more from you than my parents/relatives/friends in my entire life... keep up the good work sir!
I think what your eluding to is what we call a mid life crisis. I turned 50 last June and yes it gets you thinking about a lot of things. For me is the realization that I have lived more life than what i have in front of me. Your going to be ok Kiwi. Your a good person.
This is why it's important to talk to younger guys about what they really want and not what is just expected of them. Maybe then they don't get to be our age and look back with regret.
Absolutely! How is it considered 'weird' to want to pass on wisdom to younger guys when every badass warrior society that ever existed made a POINT of it? They NEED this info!
Just the opposite. Cancer runs through my family like a fire through dry twigs. (My oldest brother died at 50.) So each extra year for me is like...F--- Yeah!!! Turning 50 was great...but turning 55 was amazing!!! Keep 'em coming baby...I'm ready for many more.
As a woman, I relate to you on turning 50. I have succeeded from nothing and became my own person with no support. I have and still do have responsibilities, including always doing for others most of my life. I had no real childhood. I had to grow up fast. When do I do for myself? Being a child at heart again sounds awesome.
I hit the genetic lottery physically, turn 55 this year and still built like a 20 yr old running back but I do exercise 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, run at least 2 miles a day, every day. The only change I made is that I participate in ZERO activities that could result in injuries (motorcycles, bicycles, skiing etc). I plan on keeping my atlas body till at least 75
I run 12km or walk 20km on day one. Day two I swim 1500 to 2000 metres. Day three I do a weight circuit training. Two times a week with one day off. I'm in my sixties and recently completed a 100km ultramarathon after upping the running for 15 weeks. My aim is to keep doing what I'm doing for another decade. In my case. It's not luck. It's just good management. There is no easy road to anywhere worth going.
Well, i'll be 66 in a few months. Still working full time and in fairly good nick with a few parts starting to wear out. Shoulders, a knee. I spent decades doing solo sports. Tramping, hunting, rock and ice climbing, cross country running and biking. I sustained a few injuries along the way that are now beginning to haunt me. I have always been more or less MGTOW my whole life. Never married and never will. A couple of quotes: My doc said : " Once you hit 50 anything can happen " and you may remember Paul Holmes Lawrence who said " once you hit 50 you don't give a toss about what other people think ". I have never been one to disembowel my private self emotionally in public and consider it something of a personal indulgence, usually unsolicited, in others. That said, the likes of Oprah Winfrey and others made a huge industry out of it and became incredibly wealthy. I remember reading a piece by a well regarded shrink who spoke against it. Not convinced the "mid life crisis" thing ever really happened for me. Firstly i keep busy and i do ongoing reality checks with myself. The memory baggage of how things once were gets sifted. What is useful is retained the rest, turfed. Someone else said something loosely along the lines of " harbouring regret, is perhaps the most useless and destructive of indulgences " All we ever have is the present moment and everything that has contributed to what we are now should help us live the best life we can in that moment as constructively and positively as we are able to. In earlier years i spent too much time doing for others ( particularly female family members from dead marriages ) what they could have achieved themselves if they had managed their resources better and got off their arses. Well, .... you know, equality and all that. Women do seem to have expectations and are quick to judge and label you selfish or whatever when they are not met. As others have said, there is a wear and tear and slowing down and a need to focus on exercise of mind and body & nutrition with a maintenance schedule. ( regular medical checkups ). What was it now, ....something about, being the best version of yourself out there. lol !
As a 50 year old woman your thoughts clearly resonate with me. I have worked unendingly to establish my career, care for my family and marriage, work, keep the house, be a kind mother, daughter, wife, person. I have now had enough of giving to everyone else. I just feel old, in a rut and tired. I now need to make my future years about my husband and I. It's time for us to stop striving and start living in peace doing what we love. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I turned 50 this year and I still feel like I'm 20. I can't tell you how grateful I am the the good Lord allowed me to have the insight years ago to never get married, and to never have kids. I do what I want when I want.
Finally someone mentions God. In all comments, it is all like they had no grace or help from God. One even called his health a product of his genetic lottery. Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart for remembering our Lord.
Well done. I am Aussie of 58 years and I look at it like us blokes tear around making sure the family is ok but in the process we forget about our needs.
AS one who is about to turn 50 and have been through this. The largest pain factor that no one wants to say out loud----the twenty-year old girls aren't looking at us anymore. I'm still a kickboxer and they aren't. Ok fellows---so what? Many attractive thirty-some year olds will and maybe late twenties if you are in shape and have assets. And let me tell you---if you have a quiet and content confidence they will flock to you. If you want them you do--if not then continue to go your own way. But-----the key to life. Physical fitness, spiritual meditation(yoga tai chi or what suits you), clean diet--vegetables and fruits and a never ending pursuit of excellence. You want to write---do it. You want to start a business--do it. You want to be a stock trader ---learn it. I knew someone who sold used cars until he was 52. Then became a nurse when he turned 54. Guess what---he would be 54 anyway. Laura Ingels Wilder who published Little House on the Prairie---wrote it in her sixties. The Colonel of Kentucky Fried Chicken was suicidal and a small diner retired cook at 65---then one day he had an idea. Kiwi is doing a blog---and his subs are growing. I'm a physiotherapist by trade. I decided I couldn't stand American healthcare anymore. Now I'm in Prague going to the TEFL course to teach English overseas. Maybe I'll practice PT here in Europe. I have to learn Russian where I want to go. I don't think it is a rule that I can't learn Russian at 50. Or do something different. I'll be putting out a book on the subject of changing your existence in the next few years. But largely Kiwi is right on course.
Thank you Black Knight.............Appreciate your feed back and the information you have shared as you are 100% on point. All the best in Eastern Europe, been there myself a few times (Russia and Ukraine) and found it to be an amazing experience, actually had my first true Red Pill Epiphany sitting on a small block wall in Freedom Square in Kharkiv Ukraine. Cheers
It only works if you have money, if you can live with them likely cheating on you behind your back, but not give a shit… you'll be alright in any of the developing countries around the world. I speak from personal experience.
Thomas good points. I'd say u r right. Ultimately, the guy who can actually move to the phillipines and live fairly simply with the gf is in the best position. I'm 47 and saw a very cute filipina, about 24, here at the local museum in my city. I was so entranced and distracted that i know phillipines is my main stop in the future. I've been to thailand as a tourist, and the english is just not good enough, so phillipines it is!
Women aren't even that pretty in the Philippines unfortunately. Thailand is waay better. Honestly any other place has better looking women. Philippines is a huge pain in the ass in many ways for a foreigner. lol no thanks
YOU SPOKE TRUTH - Amen to you! I am a Caregiver for a Senior Living Facility... I watch and feel everything you have said! Again, Nicely put! - GOD BLESS You Darlin!
I am 66 and I don't see 50 being any more of a big deal than hitting 40, or even close to turning 60. Stuff starts breaking down when you hit 30. You are okay still, but you get injured more easily and it takes longer to heal up. At 40 that is intensified, but it isn't 40 per se, it is a gradual process that runs along at a pretty steady rate. At 50 you get hurt a lot easier and you take much longer to heal. You tend to move towards less hard contact sports etc. At 60, you just have to be careful. I can still go down to the batting cage and hit some fastballs, but running around the bases is way tough. Sliding is out of the question on most days. I have had a lot of people in my life who died before they got to my age today, and that is probably the single most distressing part of getting older. I have been married for almost 42 years and I am very thankful for that. I would marry my wife again in an instant if I had the choice. But the physical side of things slows down, and that is also a troubling part of getting older. I had prostate surgery 9 years ago and things continue to fall apart. I saw a Rand study a year or so ago and it showed that the single most common contribution to health issues is aging. Obesity was number two, and smoking was less than half as risky as being overweight. But nothing comes close to aging. You get older, you get closer to dying. Hopefully, you can say at the end, like Frank Sinatra, "I did it my way." I feel really good about most of the choices I have made in life, and I hope to have enough time to make a lot more of them. I can say without a doubt that hitting 50 was not a big deal to me, but hitting 60 was very troubling psychologically. Now I am closer to 70 than I am to 60 and I am not sure how I will feel about hitting that milestone, assuming I make it. I have two kids, three grand-kids (the oldest just turned 20) and a wife I have adored for over 40 years. My only regret is that I can't hit the rewind button and live through it all again.
I'm 45, I keep fit, and don't feel like I'm old. It's only a number, keep going, sure you won't be 20, again, but you can stay quite strong and youthful as long as you're active.
There is an age Wall that men hit. A time when they realize things don't 'work' as they once did [unless you're popping pills or using a vacuum for 'it'] , slowly but surely women stop showing interest and want younger men, and being jaded from life colors things far more than men expect. I won't even get into the 'looks' angle. The life you have lived is what shows in your face and in your body. Nothing 'snaps back' like it used to. Even men have a harder time keeping up with younger bucks. 50 is a reality that one's life is coming to an eventual end. Make the best of what time left that you have been given. Life on this planet is ALWAYS a one-way ticket. JMHO.
Thank you for this video. I am in my early 30s and over the past few years have been thinking about how I will feel around the age of 50 and have been speaking with older men on their insights, lessons learned that they are able to share.
Keep yourself healthy and fit, don't stress the stuff you have zero control over and pick your fights wisely, most of all be happy and do what you love for you will always have a dollar in your pocket.........Sounds cliché though true!
HBOX1000 I'm dating a 41 year old ph.d psychologist who runs her own firm and she loves my fit young body ;). I do find that older women tend to match me more frequently on the swipe apps.
@@amygermo6078 Till they destroy it by cheating on you and misusing your trust which stays with you forever. The bad memories override the good memories.
I agree with you . In turning 50 something, plus shipping and handling, finishing things that i didn't when I was younger motivate me to relight the fire. I am thankful to all who cross my path in good and uncomfortable ways that contributed in making me a better person. If you have a faith, which I do, first thank god for giving an opportunity to be a better person today that I was yesterday. I am paying more attention to my health like the types of food I can better digest. I am in good health and there is room to improve. Thank you for your honest opinion knowing that others think the same.
Thank God for Ebay, over the past few years I've been purchasing items that I either had or wanted when I was a kid. Doing this has helped me turn back the time to capture old memories & relive them in the way I really wanted to but didn't have the money or knowledge too back then... Guess this is one aspect of my "Mid-Life crises". WELCOME BACK Enlightened Kiwi!!!
+john epperson... Mate, you sound like me. Good on you. Music, movies and books off eBay. 'Feed your head' as The Airplane said.... and avoid stress at all costs. Chill, relax, "Groovin' is easy, baby..."
I'm 19. I see many people here are much older than me. I've been MGTOW for about a year now. I'm honestly surprised there aren't more younger people seeking advice from those who have had more experience with life. It's a bit ironic how older people have wisdom yet their important years are behind them while younger people have limited wisdom and yet their about to or are living out their most important years. Looking forward to what the future has to offer.
Oh wow. I am a 20-year-old female and I was looking for a perspective of older people and how you do perceive things and the world. As people in my family never really talked about these things with me, I am really thankful I found your video, it really got me to see the world from your perspective as well as realise what am I supposed to expect at your age. Thanks once more!
Not sure which part of Eastern Europe you’re from however I do know (Travelled Russia and Ukraine a number of times) that the elders in that part of the world are very reserved as they are in Western Society so you’re not alone in this respect. We as humans are continually changing and evolving on a day to day basis and we face dramatic changes as we get older. Be you, embrace who you are and don’t be afraid to be honest with yourself. Eat well and exercise as feeling good about who you are is key beyond anything in this world ✌️
@@tekiwi I am from Slovakia, but the Eastern Europe countries are not so different from each other. Once more, thanks for the advice - I really appreciate it! Take care.
I am 55 yo now. I have had an interesting life and i have been very lucky so far. My girlfirend of the past 25 years is a dream woman. She sees me as a king and treats me like one. We built a successful business together and she drives the partnerships and much more… My dream is to grow old together. This dream was broken today when her oncologist called to say she is now in cancer relapse. I realize i will grow old without her. This life and all we buil together isn’t worth it without her. I dont know how to be a broken lonely old man.
I spent my 20s and 30s chasing my career and ended up moving from city to city doing so. As a result, I missed out on creating meaningful relationships (since I never lasted in one town for any significant amount of time). I’m now 50 and have been in my current town for many years now, but feel it’s difficult to begin relationships now after being on my own for so many years. Lately I’ve tried to find peace and I’ve learned to be comfortable and contempt in the spot in life where I’m at.
@@jamesdettmann94 Still i don't think i have to "act old" or like society expects a 50 year old man to act, i don't have children, didn't wear myself out with work and currently at 53 don't feel or live any different than at half my age. Of course the decay of the body you can't ignore, slowly starting to see some signs of that since the last one, two years, trying to eat and move healthy to do the best to treat my vehicle good. Still don't feel any different than at 20, weird that it seem to be very different with most people my age, don't know where i belong to, definitely not to them, nothing to talk, no shared phase of life with over 40s.
Good talk, Kiwi...I got all that mid-life stuff out quite early...I figure, I'll go back to my old hobbies I enjoyed as a teen, when I hit 50yrs! I was a lucky guy to have older friends (10yrs., my senior) that informed me, plus I watched them go through what your describing...good times, brother!
I retired from a law enforcement career at 50, took two years to just get healthy mind, body and soul. A lot of biking, walking, meditating, coming to some important realizations, about myself, life and what's important. I'm now 55, in great shape, mentally, physically, spiritually , emotionally, financially. In the last three years, I've gotten a coaching and nutrition certification, finished my bachelors in psychology, and I start Grad school this fall, to become a therapist, and start a practice helping other men make changes in their life. It's never too late to change, in fact, it's an ongoing process.
Most 50 year olds don't embrace their age and lie to say they don't feel the effects of aging. It hit me like a brick at 50. I have to pace myself now and operate within my limits. I tend to act a fool more since my tolerance for bullcrap is lower than ever. I also like being alone more and avoid people and crowds. Spending less. My younger wife has adjusted. I guess I am on my way of being a grumpy old man.
54 years old. Here. I'm not going to look at what I've accomplished because that means i've stopped. Excellent insights, thanks. No idea why I clicked on this video, perhaps out of curiousity? None the less I'm glad I did.
Very interesting, for me personally 50 was little if any different than any other birthday, maybe that is because I have never married or have any children.
Hey Lawrence, welcome back! Great video and some even better comments too. Hope to see more of your content regularly. You are definitely one of my favorite MGTOW channels.
I'm 18 and I'm speechless after watching your videos, I'm so lucky to find this channel and got a chance to experience the life of an excellent man in his 50 is just unbelievable... Thanks a lot Sir.
@@hgvind You should focus on all those items whether you're with a woman or not. All the items that you attain/gain in your life are there to complement your life, they shouldn't rule your life and it's the same with females. If they're not enhancing/complimenting your life then they're ruling your life.. Thats why I said stay away from the Players world as everything those guys do is about getting women so thus women are ruling the players world. I solid grounded Man will focus on himself and that will attract the right women, a grounded solid woman. The Player only attracts players because that's the vibe they're putting out.
@@tekiwi Now it perfectly makes sense. The first part of complementing instead of ruling is mind-blowing, I haven't thought like that. If I'm a player I'll get that type of girls , if I'm a gentleman i would get a good feminine woman... Now I understood the message. Thanks Sir, thanks for taking the time to help me clear these doubts.
Hello sir. I really appreciate what you doing. I'm aged 20, an African, precisely from Cameroon. Its really great, what you're talking about in this video is really what I've been able to figure out and I gave it a name known as "the point of satiety of life" very important and very crucial. Every human has to live in a way that he wont regret in his 50s, 60s and above. One of my biggest decisions for my future is not to get married. I'm a highly sensitive person and really the type of life we live as sensitive beings is pretty much difficult that adding marriage unto it will just make life to be really unbearable. And also many other factors account for this decision too.
Turning 20 next month. This is insightful, it really makes me realize that risk is necessary to achieve true fulfillment. Thank you for the video, this is life changing information.
The one thing you didn't mention is that most men (at 50) are a fraction of what they used to be physically. But, since this is the youngest you will ever be, make the most of today because even if you make it to 70, 80+, it won't be a pleasant experience for most.
I turned 50 in April, 2021 I’m EXCITED for the future! Retired (not willingly) but a NEW CHAPTER for my Beautiful life. I have a vision. No midlife crisis here. 50years of living on this planet is definitely an awakening of some kind. Living on this planet, on this journey. Self reflection, reflecting on other human beings, acceptance of what my physical body, mind and soul has accomplished and understanding where I am today. I heard one time “ life, if you live long enough, Life will show you how to live” I’m 100% Excited for my life!
We as a species are at a cross roads currently. Many on both side have been indoctrinated into hating the other, a world of division and this is a rediculous concept. Men and women need each other more than we realise so to be open to learning about the opposite of who we are is a very very intelligent thing to do. That you for watching the video Mimi, I greatly appreciate that you watched it 😊🙏
Both my parents are gone now, always had this heavy dread in me of their inevitable passing for many years but now it’s happened, they are no longer in pain and I can now get on with life and relax more. Knowing that bereavement can’t possibly get much worse as I have never had kids...
Nice - I just turned 50 last week. I’m also saying how the F did that happen - but also thankful for all I’ve accomplished. And yes, after a pretty emotionally intense few weeks, I too am feeling “empowered”. I like that, for sure will be using that line...
Jesus, I bloody hope so.! Men need to walk away BIG TIME. I hope MGTOW explodes all over the place. Going MGTOW Monk was the best thing I ever did. Heaps of money to spend on myself and no nagging old bitch driving me into an early grave. I'm 66 and even though my marriage lasted for 20 years it was still SH!T. Freedom, man... freedom from these boring, hypergamous, soul-destroying she-devils.
when you said I don't give myself enough credit and to stop comparing yourself to guys around you who had more resources and opportunity, that helps me a lot. I've tried as hard as I can my whole life in every way relationships, success, education. and it seems like I have put all the effort out for nothing when I look at those around me Thank you for this video Kiwi
Being 25 and listening to this is interesting but very imformative content. Its good to know how the state of mind is at 50 bc time goes by so fast it wont be long for me.
Thank you Friend for making this video. It is very important to address the issue of men aging, the health aspects and psychological aspects too. I will be turning 51yrs.old this year. Sir you have brought up many honest truths and facts. 😎👍👍
48 here , loved your video, loved the simple straight forward explanation of your experience. helps take the edge of from the anxiety of turning 50. I do get nervous and my mind starts to wander etc. but at end of the day, getting old is much better than getting dead :) cheers from Texas.
The good advice from this channel is the best way for younger men to minimise lifes big fk ups....benefit from others hindsight. I wish youtube was around 20 years ago! Great channel mate.
I'm almost 55 and actually never experienced something like a crisis. Life was hard to go through in my younger years, when I tried to do everything "right". In my early 40th, it became just great and still is. I'm grateful to be where I am and still have the feeling everything is just getting better. Of course I can feel my body aging, but that's just a side effect of life, so what... Stay young in your heads! Never let the little boy inside you get old!
God bless your Heart for making this video I'm gonna be 50 not quite there yet but I've been having the exact same feelings and I accually thought my mind was going south LBVS again thank you
I turn 50 on Tuesday. Just restarted my career, self employed, making better money than ever, free time to persue hobbies.....never married.
John Davis a waste for you maybe....not for me. A woman or her little fuck trophies does not define me or my happiness.
Very nice!
Damn, +John, you sound like a loser. No offence. Personally, I don't want to look at a wrinkled up bag of fat menopausal flesh every day, who is likely to be nagging you 24/7 and have SERIOUS emotional problems. Actually, I take the loser comment back. You actually sound like a WOMAN! You are weak and simply cannot stand to be in your own company, probably because you have done very bad things to people in your life.

I'm 61. I've never been married, had kids(glad I didn't) and am never bored.
I keep myself busy.
stroking yourself (which i've done plenty of) is pathetic unless you have a women (s) and are just bored. i would encourage single males. don't go withought female physical interaction for more than two years. you will just become weird. and no i'm not saying go to hookers. meet up with a hot lady just dont let her control you. i am married with two kids but have gone as long as 6 years withought a women. i wouldnt suggest it.
I’m almost 50 and never been married, no kids. I consider that a win win!
TERMINATOR-X Yup!!
me too, same situation here, never regretted it for one minute, all the married women with kids I know don't seem too happy
Today that would be considered a win win! But when we were young, if you hadn’t been married and/or had kids by 40, something was wrong with you and before then you married and had kids out of pressure if you didn’t have passion for your significant other.
I agree. I'm older than you and still have all my hair only a little gray in my beard. Those wife and kids take your hair and turn all remaining hair gray
People enjoy having kids.
Turning 50 in August.. The last three years of my life have not been good. Wife of 23 years went bat shit crazy and I have been dealing with that fallout for some time. Divorce pending. (Thank God).. Going on a solo moto camping ride in a couple of weeks through the Sierra Nevada mountains.. Hope it will be a time to reflect on both the good and the bad in my life, and to help me focus on my future. My version of a vision quest I guess.. Still facing a tough shitty road ahead with my pending divorce, but I will survive it. I guess it's the realization at almost 50 that "I Will Survive" this storm, whatever she and the courts throw at me that gives me a sense of comfort. Its painful, but i will survive it.. As I head down the last few months of my 40's I look ahead in anticipation not trepidation.. Wisdom or wishful thinking? I have no fucking idea, but I'm ready to face it whatever it is. Thanks Kiwi.
GEI468 All the best man!!.......It can look and feel like a lot though at least its happening now while you're strong enough to recover, I've known of women in their 70's and even 80's throwing their husbands in a home and selling everything and heading for the hills leaving the old guys kids to pay for everything, my bat shit crazy Grandmother did that to my 82 year old Grandfather......Enjoy your ride into the Mountains, it will bring you many answers!
good luck
Liquidate ALL your assets and have a gambling problem when you go on your vision quest. "Lose it all" by burying the cash in the mountains. Then go into Gambler's Anonymous and seek treatment. Watch the surprise on your soon to be ex's face when you then claim the losses in divorce! Half of nothing is NOTHING bitch!!
Thank you all for your thoughts.. Good advice on the liquidating stuff. Already been on my mind.
Enjoy the ride. It's a beautiful area. Life sucks at times but it changes all the time. The Rockies are amazing as well! Might as well start thinking about the next kick ass trip you want to go on as a free man!
Hah, I'm 53. No need for a mid life crisis since I got that out of the way when I went MGTOW, 21 years ago. My house is a man cave and it's all paid for. Except for work I've done pretty much what I wanted to do. I don't worry about having a really meaningful life though. I don't recall volunteering to come into this world so I'll just do whatever I want while I'm here (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone).
Hi Vention, good to see you!
I like you Vention. Always sensible and straight forward.
Smart men don't make kids.If you make kids you are helping society to trap you.Society was created and ruled by the elit(and still is and will always be) .Society means that the common individual man will SUFFER for others and especially for the fucking elit who are clever evil LAZY people.
I cant do kids and get through this unfair life when i their father will gather ''food'' and other people will taking it from me over and over again for the ''common good''.Taxes will NEVER stop,stealing will NEVER stop,slavery will NEVER stop.Thats a rule.So why bother?Just get out and quickly enjoy what is out there for yourself trying to live as FREE as you possible can by running away from problems and chains.And not making a family is a starting point.They will not need poor people's births anyway,they will have robots.And let the others worry about the future which is NEVER good for the majortity of people.
Being harmless is not moral, some people need a beating.
Vention1MGTOW Time for you to continue to enjoy your life. Love your content!
Mid life crisis - a Man's inconvenient realization that
1) He gets one life
2) It actually belongs to him
3) He can do with it whatever he wants
4) His grey hair is attracting the kind of women who ignored him when he had dark hair.
The female equivalent is "Getting Her Groove Back' because, you know, no Double Standard exists.
Good men aren't supposed to enjoy anything other than work, aren't supposed to be happy unless married, and nobody wants to know that they have a sex drive, too.
@nemesisgenius Were you suffering ED while you were in a committed relationship? If so it wasn't ED; it was boredom or negative feelings in your relationship that causes your "ED".
ED is kind of a bullsh•t term, because it's misleading.
Being 50 is when women stop flirting with you and say things like, "You remind me of my dad..."
If dating is a life goal, it is bad for you, even depressing, when no women are interested in you. If not, it does not matter.
63 Years old. If someone asks I will tell them what I think. I find people don`t always value your opinion the older you get. I still work full time. I just keep moving forward. 50s are a good time. Enjoy.
Fit freak . Here is a couple of things. Say no. When people want you to go or do something you don`t want to or cant do, just say NO. Last year I was curling 100 lb bar . Benching 240 lbs training in the gym. This dosn`t mean I can move a shit load of furniture and appliances up stair cases. Even though your older people especially women of all ages see you as a work horse. Someone to be put to work. Just say NO. Keep moving and watch what you eat. If you lose your ability to move your screwed. Protect yourself.
When I hit 50 I thought ... arrr there is a light at the end of the tunnel ... its my mortality, Im 60 this year and mgtow and loving life ! keep healthy and active, be kind and enjoy everything , even the crap. none of it really matters.
So true
I'm 46 and have been an active weight lifter my whole life. I run three times a week and seek out cardiovascular exercise outside as much as I can. No gut on me - just six pack abs. I also eat as organically as I can and rarely drink alcohol, which for me is just some wine or a couple beers on occasion. With the exception of a few aches and pains and the understanding that injuries won't heal as quickly, I truly feel like I've always felt even in my twenties. That said, I had my mid-life crisis already! :) So at least I got that out of the way. Anyway, men, take care of yourself is the point I'm trying to get across. YOU are the most valuable asset in your life you will ever have!!! You will never regret taking good care of yourself.
Well done. 55 here still working out and walking everyday. My knees hurt when walking upstairs but I try and take lifts if possible. Love spending money on myself and eating good healthy food. I think like you. Mgtow should look after themselves, eat healthy and spend money on themselves and flip the bird to misandry.
Do keto.
Use your enery on being productive; instead of wearing your body out.
Cut out the carbs and sugar.
Life and fitness is a std distribution curve and adapt to it or burn out.
Same here friend except for 2 things, i drink beer and smoke cigs once a week with my friends, we been cooking out once a week for 25 years. other than that i do vegetarian/pescatarian , walk, jog, workout and practice BJJ. I can still do all the things i did as a younger man, i just cant do them that often LMAO!😉
How's it going now? You got 50 by now?
@@AnthonyL0401 51, and I haven't missed a single workout yet. 🙃 I can't afford to tbh, I like my health too much. It's a lifestyle choice but it isn't always easy
It's a midlife AWAKENING, not a crisis.
im 30 and been watching your videos for a bit and honestly learned more from you than my parents/relatives/friends in my entire life... keep up the good work sir!
Same here, im 25-year-old and im SO GREATFULL to have internet.
@@michaelzero5278 Same here im 20 year old
I think what your eluding to is what we call a mid life crisis. I turned 50 last June and yes it gets you thinking about a lot of things. For me is the realization that I have lived more life than what i have in front of me. Your going to be ok Kiwi. Your a good person.
Thanks Kiwi... This is a welcome subject for a newly divorced 55 year old man.
HA! Nope!
This is why it's important to talk to younger guys about what they really want and not what is just expected of them. Maybe then they don't get to be our age and look back with regret.
Absolutely! How is it considered 'weird' to want to pass on wisdom to younger guys when every badass warrior society that ever existed made a POINT of it? They NEED this info!
I agree 100% on both comments!
Just the opposite. Cancer runs through my family like a fire through dry twigs. (My oldest brother died at 50.) So each extra year for me is like...F--- Yeah!!! Turning 50 was great...but turning 55 was amazing!!! Keep 'em coming baby...I'm ready for many more.
As a woman, I relate to you on turning 50. I have succeeded from nothing and became my own person with no support. I have and still do have responsibilities, including always doing for others most of my life. I had no real childhood. I had to grow up fast. When do I do for myself? Being a child at heart again sounds awesome.
I'm 50 and needed to hear this. Thank you!!!👍
I hit the genetic lottery physically, turn 55 this year and still built like a 20 yr old running back but I do exercise 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, run at least 2 miles a day, every day.
The only change I made is that I participate in ZERO activities that could result in injuries (motorcycles, bicycles, skiing etc). I plan on keeping my atlas body till at least 75
Wow I'm 17 years of age and am not looking forward to turning 20
I run 12km or walk 20km on day one. Day two I swim 1500 to 2000 metres. Day three I do a weight circuit training. Two times a week with one day off. I'm in my sixties and recently completed a 100km ultramarathon after upping the running for 15 weeks. My aim is to keep doing what I'm doing for another decade. In my case. It's not luck. It's just good management. There is no easy road to anywhere worth going.
I'm a 55yo kiwi, Have been riding my 450 every weekend since i was 40 and bought a Camaro at 50.
Well, i'll be 66 in a few months. Still working full time and in fairly good nick with a few parts starting to wear out. Shoulders, a knee. I spent decades doing solo sports. Tramping, hunting, rock and ice climbing, cross country running and biking. I sustained a few injuries along the way that are now beginning to haunt me. I have always been more or less MGTOW my whole life. Never married and never will. A couple of quotes: My doc said : " Once you hit 50 anything can happen " and you may remember Paul Holmes Lawrence who said " once you hit 50 you don't give a toss about what other people think ". I have never been one to disembowel my private self emotionally in public and consider it something of a personal indulgence, usually unsolicited, in others. That said, the likes of Oprah Winfrey and others made a huge industry out of it and became incredibly wealthy. I remember reading a piece by a well regarded shrink who spoke against it. Not convinced the "mid life crisis" thing ever really happened for me.
Firstly i keep busy and i do ongoing reality checks with myself. The memory baggage of how things once were gets sifted. What is useful is retained the rest, turfed. Someone else said something loosely along the lines of " harbouring regret, is perhaps the most useless and destructive of indulgences " All we ever have is the present moment and everything that has contributed to what we are now should help us live the best life we can in that moment as constructively and positively as we are able to.
In earlier years i spent too much time doing for others ( particularly female family members from dead marriages ) what they could have achieved themselves if they had managed their resources better and got off their arses. Well, .... you know, equality and all that. Women do seem to have expectations and are quick to judge and label you selfish or whatever when they are not met.
As others have said, there is a wear and tear and slowing down and a need to focus on exercise of mind and body & nutrition with a maintenance schedule. ( regular medical checkups ).
What was it now, ....something about, being the best version of yourself out there.
lol !
Good read mate. Thank you!
Im 24 and i wanna ask you about something if you don't mind hpqz
Didn't you regret not getting married ?
As a 50 year old woman your thoughts clearly resonate with me. I have worked unendingly to establish my career, care for my family and marriage, work, keep the house, be a kind mother, daughter, wife, person. I have now had enough of giving to everyone else. I just feel old, in a rut and tired. I now need to make my future years about my husband and I. It's time for us to stop striving and start living in peace doing what we love. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I feel like this is what my dad should have told me
I turned 50 this year and I still feel like I'm 20. I can't tell you how grateful I am the the good Lord allowed me to have the insight years ago to never get married, and to never have kids. I do what I want when I want.
Finally someone mentions God. In all comments, it is all like they had no grace or help from God. One even called his health a product of his genetic lottery. Thank you sir from the bottom of my heart for remembering our Lord.
@@Berk1988a ....Yes sir. Christ is the only 1 standing between us and the gates of hell, and the 1 granting us the next breath.
Well done. I am Aussie of 58 years and I look at it like us blokes tear around making sure the family is ok but in the process we forget about our needs.
You were born in 1969 in Australia. (54 years old).
AS one who is about to turn 50 and have been through this. The largest pain factor that no one wants to say out loud----the twenty-year old girls aren't looking at us anymore. I'm still a kickboxer and they aren't.
Ok fellows---so what? Many attractive thirty-some year olds will and maybe late twenties if you are in shape and have assets. And let me tell you---if you have a quiet and content confidence they will flock to you. If you want them you do--if not then continue to go your own way.
But-----the key to life. Physical fitness, spiritual meditation(yoga tai chi or what suits you), clean diet--vegetables and fruits and a never ending pursuit of excellence. You want to write---do it. You want to start a business--do it. You want to be a stock trader ---learn it. I knew someone who sold used cars until he was 52. Then became a nurse when he turned 54. Guess what---he would be 54 anyway. Laura Ingels Wilder who published Little House on the Prairie---wrote it in her sixties. The Colonel of Kentucky Fried Chicken was suicidal and a small diner retired cook at 65---then one day he had an idea. Kiwi is doing a blog---and his subs are growing.
I'm a physiotherapist by trade. I decided I couldn't stand American healthcare anymore. Now I'm in Prague going to the TEFL course to teach English overseas. Maybe I'll practice PT here in Europe. I have to learn Russian where I want to go. I don't think it is a rule that I can't learn Russian at 50. Or do something different. I'll be putting out a book on the subject of changing your existence in the next few years. But largely Kiwi is right on course.
Thank you Black Knight.............Appreciate your feed back and the information you have shared as you are 100% on point. All the best in Eastern Europe, been there myself a few times (Russia and Ukraine) and found it to be an amazing experience, actually had my first true Red Pill Epiphany sitting on a small block wall in Freedom Square in Kharkiv Ukraine. Cheers
The Black Knight visit phillipines. The 20 somethings love western guys even at your age, and the english is good to excellent. Forget white women.
It only works if you have money, if you can live with them likely cheating on you behind your back, but not give a shit… you'll be alright in any of the developing countries around the world.
I speak from personal experience.
Thomas good points. I'd say u r right. Ultimately, the guy who can actually move to the phillipines and live fairly simply with the gf is in the best position. I'm 47 and saw a very cute filipina, about 24, here at the local museum in my city. I was so entranced and distracted that i know phillipines is my main stop in the future. I've been to thailand as a tourist, and the english is just not good enough, so phillipines it is!
Women aren't even that pretty in the Philippines unfortunately. Thailand is waay better. Honestly any other place has better looking women. Philippines is a huge pain in the ass in many ways for a foreigner. lol no thanks
50 is my rebirth.
YOU SPOKE TRUTH - Amen to you!
I am a Caregiver for a Senior Living Facility... I watch and feel everything you have said! Again, Nicely put! - GOD BLESS You Darlin!
I am 66 and I don't see 50 being any more of a big deal than hitting 40, or even close to turning 60. Stuff starts breaking down when you hit 30. You are okay still, but you get injured more easily and it takes longer to heal up. At 40 that is intensified, but it isn't 40 per se, it is a gradual process that runs along at a pretty steady rate. At 50 you get hurt a lot easier and you take much longer to heal. You tend to move towards less hard contact sports etc. At 60, you just have to be careful. I can still go down to the batting cage and hit some fastballs, but running around the bases is way tough. Sliding is out of the question on most days. I have had a lot of people in my life who died before they got to my age today, and that is probably the single most distressing part of getting older.
I have been married for almost 42 years and I am very thankful for that. I would marry my wife again in an instant if I had the choice. But the physical side of things slows down, and that is also a troubling part of getting older. I had prostate surgery 9 years ago and things continue to fall apart. I saw a Rand study a year or so ago and it showed that the single most common contribution to health issues is aging. Obesity was number two, and smoking was less than half as risky as being overweight. But nothing comes close to aging. You get older, you get closer to dying. Hopefully, you can say at the end, like Frank Sinatra, "I did it my way." I feel really good about most of the choices I have made in life, and I hope to have enough time to make a lot more of them.
I can say without a doubt that hitting 50 was not a big deal to me, but hitting 60 was very troubling psychologically. Now I am closer to 70 than I am to 60 and I am not sure how I will feel about hitting that milestone, assuming I make it. I have two kids, three grand-kids (the oldest just turned 20) and a wife I have adored for over 40 years. My only regret is that I can't hit the rewind button and live through it all again.
Hello, you are also lucky I guess that you meet the Wright women 👍👍 looks like you really live here which amazing 🙏
I'm 45, I keep fit, and don't feel like I'm old. It's only a number, keep going, sure you won't be 20, again, but you can stay quite strong and youthful as long as you're active.
My motto: It's compulsory to grow old. Not to grow-up. I'm in my sixties. Play in a punk band. Completed a 100km ultramarathon in January.
@@InterestingFingz 👍🏻
There is an age Wall that men hit. A time when they realize things don't 'work' as they once did [unless you're popping pills or using a vacuum for 'it'] , slowly but surely women stop showing interest and want younger men, and being jaded from life colors things far more than men expect. I won't even get into the 'looks' angle. The life you have lived is what shows in your face and in your body. Nothing 'snaps back' like it used to. Even men have a harder time keeping up with younger bucks.
50 is a reality that one's life is coming to an eventual end. Make the best of what time left that you have been given. Life on this planet is ALWAYS a one-way ticket.
JMHO.
I'm 55, I agree.
Thank you for this video. I am in my early 30s and over the past few years have been thinking about how I will feel around the age of 50 and have been speaking with older men on their insights, lessons learned that they are able to share.
Keep yourself healthy and fit, don't stress the stuff you have zero control over and pick your fights wisely, most of all be happy and do what you love for you will always have a dollar in your pocket.........Sounds cliché though true!
HBOX1000 I'm dating a 41 year old ph.d psychologist who runs her own firm and she loves my fit young body ;). I do find that older women tend to match me more frequently on the swipe apps.
DissonantShadow im 47 and the main thing is energy. I do work out but rwally should be at the gym 5 days a week. Other than that i feel ok.

I agree with you . In turning 50 something, plus shipping and handling, finishing things that i didn't when I was younger motivate me to relight the fire. I am thankful to all who cross my path in good and uncomfortable ways that contributed in making me a better person. If you have a faith, which I do, first thank god for giving an opportunity to be a better person today that I was yesterday. I am paying more attention to my health like the types of food I can better digest. I am in good health and there is room to improve. Thank you for your honest opinion knowing that others think the same.
Thank God for Ebay, over the past few years I've been purchasing items that I either had or wanted when I was a kid.

Not sure which part of Eastern Europe you’re from however I do know (Travelled Russia and Ukraine a number of times) that the elders in that part of the world are very reserved as they are in Western Society so you’re not alone in this respect.
We as humans are continually changing and evolving on a day to day basis and we face dramatic changes as we get older.

I am 55 yo now. I have had an interesting life and i have been very lucky so far. My girlfirend of the past 25 years is a dream woman. She sees me as a king and treats me like one. We built a successful business together and she drives the partnerships and much more… My dream is to grow old together. This dream was broken today when her oncologist called to say she is now in cancer relapse. I realize i will grow old without her. This life and all we buil together isn’t worth it without her.

im in my 30's. but this was still cool to watch. its good you are being open and helping other dudes! thanks enlightened kiwi
I spent my 20s and 30s chasing my career and ended up moving from city to city doing so. As a result, I missed out on creating meaningful relationships (since I never lasted in one town for any significant amount of time). I’m now 50 and have been in my current town for many years now, but feel it’s difficult to begin relationships now after being on my own for so many years. Lately I’ve tried to find peace and I’ve learned to be comfortable and contempt in the spot in life where I’m at.

Facts
Good talk, Kiwi...I got all that mid-life stuff out quite early...I figure, I'll go back to my old hobbies I enjoyed as a teen, when I hit 50yrs! I was a lucky guy to have older friends (10yrs., my senior) that informed me, plus I watched them go through what your describing...good times, brother!
I retired from a law enforcement career at 50, took two years to just get healthy mind, body and soul. A lot of biking, walking, meditating, coming to some important realizations, about myself, life and what's important. I'm now 55, in great shape, mentally, physically, spiritually , emotionally, financially. In the last three years, I've gotten a coaching and nutrition certification, finished my bachelors in psychology, and I start Grad school this fall, to become a therapist, and start a practice helping other men make changes in their life. It's never too late to change, in fact, it's an ongoing process.
Most 50 year olds don't embrace their age and lie to say they don't feel the effects of aging. It hit me like a brick at 50. I have to pace myself now and operate within my limits. I tend to act a fool more since my tolerance for bullcrap is lower than ever. I also like being alone more and avoid people and crowds. Spending less. My younger wife has adjusted. I guess I am on my way of being a grumpy old man.
54 years old. Here. I'm not going to look at what I've accomplished because that means i've stopped. Excellent insights, thanks. No idea why I clicked on this video, perhaps out of curiousity? None the less I'm glad I did.
Very interesting, for me personally 50 was little if any different than any other birthday, maybe that is because I have never married or have any children.

Hell I will turn 60 next month. Do not fret.
Thank you, sir.
My purpose continues to go for what I have always wanted- always needed- because of talks like this one.
And I appreciate you.
I turn 50 in less than two months; 3/12/2020
I'm 18 and I'm speechless after watching your videos, I'm so lucky to find this channel and got a chance to experience the life of an excellent man in his 50 is just unbelievable... Thanks a lot Sir.
You're welcome mate!!
Glad you've found the info beneficial, want some VERY sound advise, DONT get caught up in the Player World Son!!
@@tekiwi is it better to avoid females at all cost ?? And only focus on becoming successful in terms of money , health and freedom?
@@hgvind You should focus on all those items whether you're with a woman or not.
All the items that you attain/gain in your life are there to complement your life, they shouldn't rule your life and it's the same with females. If they're not enhancing/complimenting your life then they're ruling your life..
Thats why I said stay away from the Players world as everything those guys do is about getting women so thus women are ruling the players world.
I solid grounded Man will focus on himself and that will attract the right women, a grounded solid woman.
The Player only attracts players because that's the vibe they're putting out.
@@tekiwi Now it perfectly makes sense. The first part of complementing instead of ruling is mind-blowing, I haven't thought like that.
If I'm a player I'll get that type of girls , if I'm a gentleman i would get a good feminine woman...
Now I understood the message. Thanks Sir, thanks for taking the time to help me clear these doubts.
Hello sir. I really appreciate what you doing. I'm aged 20, an African, precisely from Cameroon. Its really great, what you're talking about in this video is really what I've been able to figure out and I gave it a name known as "the point of satiety of life" very important and very crucial. Every human has to live in a way that he wont regret in his 50s, 60s and above.
One of my biggest decisions for my future is not to get married. I'm a highly sensitive person and really the type of life we live as sensitive beings is pretty much difficult that adding marriage unto it will just make life to be really unbearable. And also many other factors account for this decision too.

Turning 20 next month. This is insightful, it really makes me realize that risk is necessary to achieve true fulfillment. Thank you for the video, this is life changing information.
Thank you! Needed to hear that. Thanks again!
im almost 50 so ive been watching videos like this lately. Subscribed!!
Ill be 45 on May 27,2018 and I must be going through all this early because I know exactly where you're coming from.Great video.
Hello Sir!! Great stuff here.I turn 50 this Wednesday.Looking forward to it.Just enjoying life day by day.God bless.😎👍
The one thing you didn't mention is that most men (at 50) are a fraction of what they used to be physically.
But, since this is the youngest you will ever be, make the most of today because even if you make it to 70, 80+, it won't be a pleasant experience for most.
I turned 50 in April, 2021
I’m EXCITED for the future! Retired (not willingly) but a NEW CHAPTER for my Beautiful life. I have a vision. No midlife crisis here. 50years of living on this planet is definitely an awakening of some kind. Living on this planet, on this journey. Self reflection, reflecting on other human beings, acceptance of what my physical body, mind and soul has accomplished and understanding where I am today. I heard one time “ life, if you live long enough, Life will show you how to live” I’m 100% Excited for my life!
Eagerly awaiting the Camaro video.
I'm 20 yro woman and I'm watching this for some reason. It's so interesting. thanks for sharing your experience
We as a species are at a cross roads currently.
Many on both side have been indoctrinated into hating the other, a world of division and this is a rediculous concept.
Men and women need each other more than we realise so to be open to learning about the opposite of who we are is a very very intelligent thing to do. That you for watching the video Mimi, I greatly appreciate that you watched it 😊🙏
@@tekiwi you're welcome!
Wait till you hit 55! Good to be alive and well so far.
Thank you. I like your honest observations.
Looking forward to it. I'm 45, and discovering every day how things.... change.
Both my parents are gone now, always had this heavy dread in me of their inevitable passing for many years but now it’s happened, they are no longer in pain and I can now get on with life and relax more.
Knowing that bereavement can’t possibly get much worse as I have never had kids...
Sorry to hear about your parents but I hope you're doing good brother.
great video, Im on the edge of 40 and its scary seeing men older than me who are such messes. Im hoping to learn from their mistakes.
Nice - I just turned 50 last week. I’m also saying how the F did that happen - but also thankful for all I’ve accomplished. And yes, after a pretty emotionally intense few weeks, I too am feeling “empowered”. I like that, for sure will be using that line...
Good to see you again!
Thank you man ." I like your concept and the Mgtow life and chasing your own dream" .
You give hope to a lot of men. Thanks for your input.
We all need to feel fulfilled and I hope this generation can do that with wisdom. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. Thanks for the wisdom, Kiwi.
MGTOW is exploding!!
Jesus, I bloody hope so.! Men need to walk away BIG TIME. I hope MGTOW explodes all over the place. Going MGTOW Monk was the best thing I ever did. Heaps of money to spend on myself and no nagging old bitch driving me into an early grave. I'm 66 and even though my marriage lasted for 20 years it was still SH!T. Freedom, man... freedom from these boring, hypergamous, soul-destroying she-devils.
when you said I don't give myself enough credit and to stop comparing yourself to guys around you who had more resources and opportunity, that helps me a lot. I've tried as hard as I can my whole life in every way relationships, success, education. and it seems like I have put all the effort out for nothing when I look at those around me Thank you for this video Kiwi
You're welcome, you are who you are and no one else. For all you know they may be looking at you wishing that they had your life.
This was really helpful, I love it!
Being 25 and listening to this is interesting but very imformative content. Its good to know how the state of mind is at 50 bc time goes by so fast it wont be long for me.
Thank you Friend for making this video. It is very important to address the issue of men aging, the health aspects and psychological aspects too. I will be turning 51yrs.old this year. Sir you have brought up many honest truths and facts. 😎👍👍
That is incredibly useful and peaceful advice. I feel much better and at ease after hearing this.
48 here , loved your video, loved the simple straight forward explanation of your experience. helps take the edge of from the anxiety of turning 50. I do get nervous and my mind starts to wander etc. but at end of the day, getting old is much better than getting dead :) cheers from Texas.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom brother. :)
The good advice from this channel is the best way for younger men to minimise lifes big fk ups....benefit from others hindsight. I wish youtube was around 20 years ago! Great channel mate.
First of all thank you for your contribution to your fellow men. I was really looking for some insight regarding 50's and MGTOW.
I'm almost 55 and actually never experienced something like a crisis.
Life was hard to go through in my younger years, when I tried to do everything "right".
In my early 40th, it became just great and still is. I'm grateful to be where I am and still have the feeling everything is just getting better.
Of course I can feel my body aging, but that's just a side effect of life, so what...
Stay young in your heads! Never let the little boy inside you get old!
