I’m so fucking tires of these stereotypes based on nothing at all. I’m 40 years old and haven’t stopped jumping to touch that shit.
Many folks don’t take care of themselves and think it’s normal to hurt. Health is possible even when working manual labor, or having little free time and money.
This comment has nothing to do with congenital deformity or traumatic injury causing lasting damage.
Edit wtf is this ratio, I’m agreeing with the above
A lot of people seem to fail to realize (or at least fail to realize until its too late) that every muscle of the body is “use it or lose it” but also (barring significant disability/atrophy) you can rebuild those muscles with enough training and practice, and it’s always easier to maintain the muscles than to rebuild them
Homie, to the rest of us it doesn’t even look like you meant to reply to that comment
The above jumps and is active and over 40. I agree you can do that. It’s not age.
Edit point is many here are saying 40.+ Jumping = death. That’s dumb.
Kinda surprised by all the joint pain ITT, especially knees. Age alone doesn’t do this.
Knees are remarkably hard-wearing joints, capable of continued high mileage well into old age. I hope y’all are using those knees so you can keep using them for many years to come!
Also sitting for 8 hours a day and not leaving your home except to grocery shop
I’ve had auto immune arthritis for 30 years and my knees are still apparently better than 90% of this thread. It’s wild to see.
Damn, arthritis is no joke. Good on you for persevering and retaining mobility.
I’ve noticed the patients we are doing knee replacements on have gotten younger. Never really saw people 50 or under getting them when I started in surgery. Then again, the patients are also typically morbidly obese and there is no shortage of them in the US.
I have several friends who are trans men who have reported to me that the urge started after they started testosterone. It always makes me smile :)
This is actually very interesting to me. Is it literally in the hormones, or is it more an unconscious choice of this is what I see men do? I never considered afab/etc. did not do this
It’s not just teenagers who like it.
It’s just that adults tend to refrain from actually doing it.
Really? Don’t know how old you are but I’m in my 40s and I wouldn’t call that normal.
Came to say this. The urge doesn’t go away. We just are more selective about picking the best time and place.
I’ve taught math at every grade level (elementary, middle school, high school, college) and can confirm this is indeed a universal truth.
