Men turn grumpy at age 70?

Do you agree that men turn grumpy at age 70? The Grumpy Point: When A Man Turns 70 : The Protojournalist : NPR

I'm 70 and I don't really give a darn if you agree or not, so I'm not sure why I am even posting this link.

You don't just turn grumpy. It's not like going through an intersection. It takes time, you develop grumpiness. It's like broccoli, you develop a taste for it, but some just come by it naturally.

It is the age you stop saying, "yes dear ". Woman mistake that as you getting grumpy.

I turned 70 in December. I'm still the handsome, charming, swave and deboyner rascal I've always been and if you don't believe it, you can go straight.......

Well maybe I'm a little bit grumpier

I think it has a lot to do with passing through stages that begin with the optimism of youth, pass through the realism of adulthood, and culminate in pessimism, with the onset of the not so "golden years." I find myself approaching the latter. The state of our nation definitely brings out the grouchy grump in me.

I'm 70 now and am much better than when I was working for a living. My job was stressfull and my wife called me "Your Irate Uncooperativeness."

The older I get, the more I realize that I don't give a rodents derriere about much anymore.
Some folks view that as grumpy.

Started to get grumpy when them cotton pickin idiots started tromping on my 2nd Amendment rights. The older I get, the less tolerant I become.

My wife says that I was born grumpy.

I'm only 65, but I can already curmudge with the best of them.

I think wives can tell you. Mine thinks I've been grumpy for quite some time. I control it though. Basically I'm not grumpy at least 8 hours a day, when I'm sleeping. The rest of the day is up for grabs.

I was a stunt man for Walter Matheau in "Grumpier Old Men". Didn't even need a script. It really is kinda an "earned" thing like Braswell said. It just doesn't happen when you wake up one day. You almost have to work at achieving it. And by the way, this afternoons meeting on proscratanation has been postponed indefinitely. Proscratanation and grumpy seem to be partners in the "golden years".

I'm not really grumpy, I just don't have the patience I used to have and if you can't get the darn thing done right now the the heck out of the way.

 

[wbraswell]

On the serious side. Don't worry, be happy. Happy people usually live longer than grumpy ones, and enjoy it more too. It's easier to be nice, than to be mean. Even to Ruger collectors.

I'm not grumpy, I'm simply surrounded by irritating, irrational, impatient people.

I'm still practicing to be 70. Been practicing for many years. It won't be long now.

I'm at the stage in life where "I'd better not say that" has turned into "Let's see what happens"

Anybody besides me growl?
