Or is it more of a gradual descent over a period of time?

I just tripped over them last week and I’m 40.

It’ll happen to you too!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm 59 and I've worn briefs my entire life. My wife calls my balls "high and tight".

Your mileage may vary.

37 and they sag a little, but they can also go all brain mode randomly too 🤷‍♀️

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Let me save you some time. It all happens way quicker and way younger than you expected.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My balls have definitely started sagging this year and I’m 34

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I still got all my hair so I’m counting my blessings

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Me too, it just migrated

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I presume it’s highly dependent on how hot of climate you’re in

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's interesting. Are you suggesting a hot and/or humid climate might create more slack in the sack?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yea, I mean it’s the reason they hang outside the core of the body in the first place

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

When you can tuck them under your gut, you'll know.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping I will be able stash them in my butthole, for a more aerodynamic look.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do you see that as more of a serial or parallel arrangement? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think it'd have to be parallel to create the proper bottleneck to keep them in place. This is all just theoretical at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Follow your dreams, my friend.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Just to add to the choir. Noticeable in 30s, worse in 40s..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

It feels gradual but definitely noticeable in my late 30s.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 7 months ago (7 children)

Not sure, but goddamn I could have done with some warning that I'd need to start shaving my ears when I turned 30.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You see, what’s really happening is that the hair-line gets lowered.

It’s like a hat with no top that you pull a bit down your head. So ears will get covered, nose hair will get head-hair length. You’ll even grow hair high on your cheek like over the cheekbones just under the eyes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Basically they… fall out from the head and wherever they land that’s their new place?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yepp- some are lucky and end up with medium-long chest hair with pony tail on their backs, and some of us end up with hairy ears

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

Ear hair is when I knew I was officially old.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wait what… now I’m gonna be paranoid and check my ears in the mirror every day

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Spoiler:

You'll get to have a "the calls are coming from inside the house" situation when something keeps "crawling" on your ear...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Do you get hairy nostrils? Like one or two really long nose hairs that need to be clipped?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (2 children)

"clipped" - you just reminded me of that episode of House, where the clinic patient (tw: gross) has been using his toenail clippers to trim his nose hair, and he developed a fungus.

PSA - Buy a trimmer specific for that purpose.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

And clean it!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is why I read Lemmy: valuable life lessons.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

LOL. Just the other day I was searching for info on scrotums and older men

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Just telling us that made a lot of older men very happy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I started to get occasional gray nostril hairs. It's annoying because they are super noticable but also in there far enough like a normal hair that I can't just yank it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

If I yank em out, I sometimes get some sort of weird ingrown nose hair. It's painful for a few days. Now I'm nose hair trimmers so the way.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

nose trimmer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Not the nose, but the wolf ears are awful.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (2 children)

No major ear hair here, but every once in a while a single follicle somewhere on one earlobe or the other decides to vomit out a 15mm hair in like a day and a half (or so it feels)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Same here. It’s also thick as a beard hair. Used to be once every few months. Now it’s several a week. Annoying as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

This happens to my chin (I'm a lady).

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I know, right?? Ear hair just gets super aggressive one day in your 30s.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago

My nose has become a thing...
