What do you do when everyone in your surroundings is in their late 20’s and you’re reaching your late 30’s? For some odd reason you don’t know, what should 30s and 40s look like? The women of our time are looking for that man with that sexy body and big pockets, and you are stressed out from working so hard. How do you keep up and be sexy at the same time?
MEN: How to feel sexy and handsome after your 30’s and 40’s
– It all starts when you are a teenager- Whatever you do when you are a teenager will reflect on how you look in your 30’s and 40’s. From age 14 to 19, if you are into drugs, are heavily tattooed, have bad eating habits, and lack exercise or athleticism, it will show in your 20’s and trickle over to your 30s and 40s. Growing up, people want all girls to be pretty, but boys will be boys. Boys loose teeth, get scars on their face, chubby stomachs, wild hair styles, dirty clothes, and no one cares because boys are suppose to be rough. Being tough doesn’t mean you can’t still be sexy and handsome as a man.
– Maintain your image- Now that you are in your 20’s, before you spend hundreds on Jordans and jeans, think about yourself first. $20 to $50 a month on a gym to keep yourself active and healthy, $100 to $150 a month on medical and dental insurance to get your body and teeth checked up regularly, $100 on haircut. $40 on multi-vitamins. $50 a month on condoms. I was told that some men buy a 36 pack of condoms and use 3 to 5 on a slow week or 15 to 20 on a good week. I know men don’t like to get facials or mani/pedis, but there’s nothing worse then a man with some bad skin, crusty feet and dirty nails; so please invest $50 a month in to that. Once in a blue moon won’t hurt. Jonathan Freeny @ jfreeny55 of the New England Patriots #55, and actor Michael B. Jordan @michaelbjordan are good examples of men in their 20’s that stay healthy, sexy, and handsome. While women are spending at least $500 a month, young men should invest at least $300 a month on maintaining their health and physical appearance. However, it doesn’t stop there, so don’t think $300 is all men spend.
– Now that you are grown, Are you sexy?- Once you hit 30, as a man, that’s when you realize that your momma, or a lot of other women for that matter, aren’t cooking for you any more. It’s not cute to have an empty refrigerator. Young men should spend at least $100 to $200 a month buying healthy groceries. There is nothing sexier than a man that has food in his house and can cook also. I know young men like to run the street, but stock up on canned goods, bottled water, frozen meats, frozen vegetables, and snacks. Many men like to eat out, but that can easily run you $1k a month. You can, however, look for happy hours or deals on groupon or yelp that won’t kill your pockets. When you add on food, so far men spend average $1,000 a month on maintenance and health. If you indulge in drugs you can add on another $1k for drugs and another $1k for liquor. So the average man might spend $2K a month on maintence, compared to a women’s $500 a month.
When I say healthy food, I mean HEALTHY. Men are dying in their 30s due to strokes, heart attacks, and diabetes, and while men spend $200 a month on hookahs, $150 a month on cigarettes, $1,500 a month on weed, $100 a month on pills, you are spending $2k a month to get lung cancer and slowly kill yourself before age 65. The average national death age for white men, white women and black women is almost 80 years old when for black men the average death age is 67 to 70 years old.
– It don’t stop at 40 – So many young men in their 20’s overdid the liquor and drugs, and now they cant seem to age gracefully. It is very hard to determine what a man in his 40’s would look like. If you keep up the 3 S’s you should be good. Healthy Skin, Less Stress, and Great Sex.
You have to continue to invest in maintaining your image and your body as stated above. The way you dress plays a part in it also. There is nothing wrong with wearing your hat to the back, twisted, or cuffed, a couple of gold chains, ripped up jeans and every flavor Jordans in the world BUT maintain your face, body, health, and skin as if you are still in your 20’s or 30’s. That said, please dress like you are in your 30’s or 40’s sometimes. There’s nothing sexier than a grown man stepping out with a fitted v neck shirt, fitted pants, and some designer shoes and belt to match. Most off all get your cologne collection up, a good smelling man is the best man. 50 Cent @50cent just turned 40 and he switches up his style from street to corporate to upscale partying in a heartbeat, and looks good doing it.
Back in the day, most grandfathers were in their 60’s, now you can have a baby by 20 and that child had a baby by 20 and boom you’re a Grandfather at 40 — some even younger. Back in the day, teenagers couldn’t hang with the grown folks unless you were special, but now you can be in your 40’s and have friends in their late 20’s, so how do you keep up?
The average man might spend $500 to $5k alone on liquor a month. Two glasses of liquor a day can cause brain damage, red watery eyes, skin damage, lack of muscles, irregular heartbeats, heartburn, stomach pains, and leave your penis limp and damage your sperm. Many men in their 40s are fighting their age by drinking excessively, taking sexual enhancement pills when they can just drink a lot of water, exercise, and if you must drink try red wine, whiskey, gin, vodka, and guinness for beer. If this drinking is cause you to look overweight or you already are there’s nothing wrong with male liposuction or exercise. When you look at many men’s pictures they look good but when you see them in person and they start drinking you can see them aging quickly and that’s not sexy. Some sexy men in their 40’s are Boris Kodjoe @boriskodjoe 42, Idris Elba @7dub 43, , Jamie Fox @iamjamiefoxx 48, Ll cool J @llcoolj 47, RKelly @rkelly 48, and Big Daddy Kane 47 @officialbigdaddykane.
Most say they don’t party any more, that’s where you’re wrong! You don’t have to go to the club all the time, but living an active life is what keeps you young and feeling sexy. Things like hiking, bowling, bike riding, traveling, football and basketball games, brunches, comedy shows, concerts, swimming, ATV riding, live bands, lounges, sport events, exercising, and a shoe club could never hurt. You can go on eventbrite.com and there are hundreds of free events in many cities. When someone thinks you’re 25 and you’re really 45, you’re winning!
Next time someone asks you, what is your age, tell them you are 30 to 40 years young and you feel sexy doing it, doing what, aging gracefully!
