I think we need a followup thread debunking 35 year old men whining about how old they are and their inability to keep up with Young Bucks.

**** that. Crushing young bucks is the only reason I keep my ego around these days. I live for that look of comic disbelief when they realize all that strength and speed are not all they need.

Afterwards, I complain quietly about my aches and pains to the other old men.

Johnny, I get about two or three black eyes a year. It's never been a problem. Then again I own my own business and work in construction.

"I can't show up to work with a black eye"

There are three male models, two actors and a dancer at my gym. They all spar, with the occasional exception when it would cost him/her money to miss a few days of a shoot/event. Half a dozen suit-wearing Wall Streeters, too.

As for my own marks, the co-workers always ask, but never seem too bent about the answers:

"What happened to your eye?"
"Headbutt."

"Ow, what's with the finger?"
"Judo."

&c

Feh. I'm still stronger and faster than most of the kids, but I have to train a bit less to keep my joints and tendons happy, and I heal slower than I used to do. It is what it is.

i'm just a ***** who doesn't like getting hit in the face.

the first thing i perfected was the infamous 'left eye block'
always walking into other peoples range and getting caught.

i have since learned to move stupid head out of way of fist- better possibilty of learning something.
