Men turn grumpy at age 70?

I have been told that I'm opinionated. I can't remember being any other way so it is not from age. I was born knowing that my way is the correct way. Larry

I'm running at least three decades early then.

Eccentric sounds a lot nicer than bat**** crazy
Old TexMex is right about one thing-turn on the charm when they're expecting the grump and you've got them by the tail
I'm not grumpy, just stay the Hell off my porch & don't ever ring my doorbell again.

Four years ago, at age 63, I was well on my way to Grumpy and loving every minute of it!! Then I married a gal exactly half my age. Now I'm having trouble remembering why I was so Grumpy ( actually, I'm having trouble remembering a lot of things ) !! Seriously, she is ruining my Grumpy. Not sure how this will turn out. She even goes to the range with me and enjoys watching me shoot. Need advice quickly.

I've been grumpy for years & I'm not even sixty yet.
You can take that FWIW. I really don't give a darn...

I was working with Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic today, so you'd better believe I am grumpy.
I will be 70 in a little over a year and I guess I've gotten pretty
grumpy in the last 2 years. No doubt for a lot of the same reasons
mentioned above like physical pain and the restrictions that pain
puts on your activites. High on my list of grumpiness inducers are
self centered thoughtless people who automatically expect others to
enable their childish behavior. Like others on here I find that the
older I get the less I care what other people think of me, except for
a chosen few that is. There are lots of things to be grumpy about if
one chooses to dwell on them but I am actually happy most of the
time. Solitude is golden, the best cure for grumpiness is prevention,
avoid the source. Immersion in your chosen hobbies like good guns
and the outdoors makes it all seem worthwhile.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.

I founded grumpy. Didn't need a reason just the evidence around me. Your ugly. Your mama dresses you funny. You wife looks like a hamster chewing on a corn cob. You smell like a wet dog. Your children look like a goat herder gone mad. Who's your tailor Omar the tent maker. I don't like the color you're wearing. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to procreate. You lookin at me? Smell my finger. I used to be happy. I think.

I have the occasional grumpy morning but for the most part I find it easier to be pleasant. I am only 66 so I'll have to wait and see about 70. I really feel like a (creative spelling) when I'm grumpy to my Wife. She never has a bad word to say about anyone!

Turned 80 a few months back. I find I have a lot less patience than I had before, uually while driving. I have to work at being calm and collected and forgiving of idiots. I I don't, i'll have a lot more fender benders.
Golden Years
I think one of the reasons people call me grumpy and a curmudgeon is that I finally figured out why they are called the "Golden Years!" They are the years in which you give the doctors all the gold you have been accumulating over the years to pay their bills for trying to take away the aches and pains!

In my case the grumpiness began much earlier than 70.

Like Archie Moore said, a man mellows with age. At 72 I don't suffer fools, but I have gained patience, things seem to flow better that way.
