buy a porsche

crack is the only way now

haha..like the previous response said, buy a porsche and get a mistress.

Buy a convertible porsche, and wear your shirt with at least the top three buttons undone.

By some gold chains, and make sure you show them proudly.

Start smoking cigars. and grow a moustache. LOL..

OK, I'm just kidding. Maybe just start getting out and meeting new friends and doing things you didn't do before. Go to an art class, or join a gym.

life begins at 40..

Get out of the vest, buy a motorbike, smoke pot (crack is too much, go to strip bars, become the epitome of cool. Look at George Clooney - 45 and still going!

Seriously, you could get into something that you've always wanted to do, but haven't - like traveling or hiking or anything else that suits you.

we all get life crisis, not only if we are 40 or 50. we can be 20 and ask for approval or acceptance or love. you say you feel empty and incomplete. a loser. do you have any idea what a loser mean ?
are you afraid of the changes you are getting through ? so what if 15 years ago you were god? maybe now you are more experienced and you shouldn't give a dime on image. apparently not. try to find someone who is not interested in your appearance , but in your soul and thinking.

im only 21 yrs old but im more like an old grany with the way i give advice etc hahah anyway id take it slow, you never mentioned if you had any kids, a wife , a partner or your single, why im asking this could be your answer, if you have no kids then you want some but havent got a girlfriends then obviously it aint gonna happen then huh? you may have issues dating, or example you can easily attract girls to your body but emotionally you cannot connect, you want a good woman to have your babies with, not any ho, so do you act manly, nicer, meaner, girlie? your lost.simply dont try. if you know what cheers you up, double that, example if you like eating a certain takeaway buy it followed by another treat you like example watching a good movie with mates. you will begin to feel so much better with yourself (hopefully). if in fact you have a wife, did you settle down early? if you do have kids are they holding you back or do you want more but cant? theres no simple answer here mate, there could alot of small timny probs that you oversee in your life at the moment thats been adding up, slowly tend to them and you should be more at peace with yourself. god luck i did warn you i go on like an old lady, hope you feel better soon, x

Think about what you want to do from this point on, and who you still want to become - you've made it this far - and set yourself goals to do them, and become that person. It sounds like you need to do a little soul-searching, you sound depressed. If you can't dig yourself out from under this, you might think about talking to someone - you may find the perspective and insight you're looking for.

Porche, mistress, younger women - all of this will only confirm your feelings and broadcast them to the whole world.

I hope you feel better.

The best way to get through a mid-life crisis is to review your life. Remember all the good times that you've had, what you've learned from the bad times and what would you like to do to better your life in the future. I don't think that we ever stop trying to look for approval and acceptance and love, because well, social creatures as we are.we are always looking for human affection and connection! So don't you get worked up about nothing..Don't feel like a loser, because probably you're not! Just remember that we all get the blues every now and then..but since there's no point crying over spilled milk.just try to live your life always with a goal in mind.and you'll never fell empty! =)

im 20 n feel just like u do.just grin and bear it.

my best friend just turned 45, and is going through the same thing. What he said is he just takes it day by day. He went through a divorce about ten years ago, and is trying to rebuild his life. He has everything he could possibly want, but he doesn't have a gf, and finds himself feeling lonely, depressed, and settling for people when he knows he could do better just because it's someone to be there. He and I have been talking alot more, and hanging out alot more, he feels better now knowing when he plays softball I'm there rooting for him. Basically we do things to keep his mind off of what's eating at him. I just had to realize that a mid life crisis was a real thing. Most people make jokes about it, but don't realize what it puts a person through. I know if I ever hit mine, I'd want someone there to help me through it. Since I've been there for him he said he doesn't think about it as much. I'm going through a divorce right now, and he said he has dibs lol, I tell him he's old enough to be my dad (I'm only 25). So we poke fun at it which lightens his moods alot. Just try not to be so serious about it, and if it does start getting you down, call up someone you know will lift your spirits some. Just know it's not the end of the world and you will come out stronger than you were before. Good luck, and best wishes to you!!

what you miss is the missing link that take you to the next level of living. 45 is about the time i went thru a questioning time myself: changes take place physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. may I suggest you accept that you WILL grow older and that changes WILL come with ageing. may I also suggest that you identify a second half life mission, that is to do something worthwhile, something that makes you feel good and great, something that you wish to be remembered by. maybe work towards a charity or community project perhaps?

Everyone has some type of crisis in their life and people have different ways with dealing with theirs. Instead of moping around and feeling sorry for yourself you should find ways that you know will work to get what you want but so you want feel bad about it in the end. (if you understood that at all.)
