40+ Funny Images That People Over The Age Of 40 Could Relate To
Literally Every 40-Year-Old Guys
You’ve probably noticed that the majority of men on social media post photos of themselves posing in the same (or very similar) ways. It appears that once men reach the age of 40, they begin posting these photos on a regular basis! Men’s profile photos are well represented by the cats in the following post:
Literally Every 40 Year Old Guys
When you see these photos, don’t you think of the 40-year-old men you know? They all appear to have learned how to take selfies from the same angles— and this person taught them all how to smile while holding the camera in their faces!
A Package Everyone Gets
Some people say that life is just getting started for us when we’re feeling down about getting older. We must be honest, even though we understand that they are attempting to be pleasant and upbeat. Life may start at 40, but it certainly brings some unexpected visitors!
A Package Everyone Gets
That tweet, as unfortunate as it may appear, is actually quite accurate. Sure, we may feel more carefree and confident as we approach 40, but we also experience other emotions. Eye problems and memory lapses are just a couple of them!
Time Goes By So Fast
Years appear to be getting shorter, and time appears to be moving faster than it has ever been. Still not convinced? What if we told you that children born in 2003 are turning 18 this year? Yes, you are correct. We may have some good news for those born in the 1980s as well.
Time Goes By So Fast
Isn’t this meme self-explanatory enough? It seems like only yesterday that those of us who were born in the 1980s were celebrating our 30th birthdays, and now you’re approaching 40! But, hey, don’t be as scared as the guy in the picture. It’s actually pretty cool to be 40 these days, and it’s even fashionable!
A Lot Of Symptoms
As previously stated, turning 40 causes you to feel emotions you’ve never felt before. To be honest, if you don’t exercise on a regular basis, you’ll look and feel much older than you are. The following tweet is both amusing and painfully accurate:
A Lot Of Symptoms
People aren’t likely to tell you that, are they? Even if they’re minor illnesses about which we’re probably being overly dramatic, life after 40 includes developing ailments you didn’t have before. If it helps, know that we’re not alone: back pain has recently been reported by people in their early twenties!
Finding Joy In Small Things
So far, there hasn’t been a single post that has been complimentary of life after 40. The goal of this article is to change that. When we’re young, we’re too preoccupied with our responsibilities and fantasizing about things that are still far away. As a result, we stop appreciating the small things.
Finding Joy In Small Things
When you reach the age of 40, you develop a newfound appreciation for things you may have overlooked previously. This tweet perfectly encapsulates how we, in our forties, react to simple things like sponges. Isn’t that the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen?
Dating Is Hard
Did you think dating was difficult when you were younger? Because you’ve probably never tried dating in your forties, this is the case. Single people in this age range are likely to be dating for the first time after divorce, have children, or are simply unaccustomed to dating.
Dating Is Hard
Okay, the sender of this tweet is probably exaggerating. It’s difficult, but not impossible, to date in your 40s. If you’re looking for love after 40, we promise it’s not impossible — all you have to do is keep an open mind!
Thanks, Yoda!
While the following meme is amusing, it makes us wonder why people think getting older is a bad thing. We don’t mind getting older because it’s a natural part of life. We are born, we grow up, we mature, we improve and we learn…
Thanks, Yoda!
We’re also a long way from being old by the time we reach 40, given that the average human life span is 72 years! Turning 40 doesn’t mean we’ll suddenly require reading glasses or a walker; it simply means we should begin living life to the fullest!
Big Things Are Coming
This is where it all begins, Gandalf! While we can’t guarantee that you’ll feel brand-new at 40, we can guarantee that things will get interesting (in a positive way). You will most likely not be as shy as you were as a child, which will have a significant impact on the experiences you have!
Big Things Are Coming
There are many advantages to being in your forties, aside from the physical consequences of turning 40. To begin with, your entire life will be determined by that time, meaning you will finally have time to begin experiencing the things you previously had no time for!
Drinking Isn’t The Same Anymore
If you began drinking at the age of 21, you most likely recall how you felt the next morning. Sure, we all get hungover now and then, but the long-term effects of drinking aren’t so bad. Isn’t it true that by the end of the day, we’re completely recovered?
Drinking Isn’t The Same Anymore
We have some potentially bad news for you: a hangover at 40 will make you feel not only bad, but also like you need medical help! No, we’re not making stuff up. That’s just how things work in real life!
Not Gonna Show Up In Memes
Nowadays, children use the internet to share every detail of their lives. Due to the massive influx of posts, we can no longer control what people say about us. One thing is certain: if you have a few too many beers and embarrass yourself in public, it will be documented.
Not Gonna Show Up In Memes
People in their forties are no longer afraid to make embarrassing social media posts. Do you want to know why? Back then, we didn’t have access to the internet, Facebook, or Instagram! Nobody was going to write about us being as stupid as we wanted to be!
Doing Good… For Your Age
A few things will begin to happen in your life once you reach the age of 40. We’ve already talked about illnesses, hangovers, and the difficulty of meeting new people… But there’s one more thing you’ll notice about life in your forties.
Doing Good… For Your Age
And here’s the thing: people will start adding “for your age” to every compliment! Do they think you’re in good physical condition? They’ll tell you that you have a youthful appearance for your age. Have you received a job promotion? They’ll tell you that for your age, you’re doing a fantastic job!
Experienced
Is it difficult for you to adjust to being or turning 40? We know how it feels to accept that there’s nothing wrong with getting older; it takes a lot of emotional and psychological effort! Read on for some helpful advice if you’re still having trouble adjusting to life after 40:
Experienced
Even if you have 22 years of experience, you can always claim to be 18 instead of 40! Isn’t that a witty and clever way to reveal your age? You won’t need that crutch once you’ve gotten used to being a 40-year-old, though!
A Dilemma
As we get older, one thing is certain: we’ll start peeing more frequently, and holding it in will become increasingly difficult! We will, however, be too lazy to walk to the bathroom, posing a serious problem for us. Is it better to stay in bed right now or go to the bathroom?
A Dilemma
If you can relate to that dilemma, you’re probably in your 40s or about to turn 40. You’ll notice how difficult it is to get out of your warm bed and go to the bathroom after a long day of hard work or on a cold winter night.
Thanks For The Reminder, Al!
You’ve probably seen the popular television show “Married with Children” if you’re in your forties. Al Bundy, one of the protagonists, was a sarcastic loser with a large following. And this is what his 40-year-old fans were told on his fan page:
Thanks For The Reminder, Al!
Two posts in a row about peeing in your forties? We’re sure you’ve figured it out by now! You’re not alone if you notice that you’re peeing more frequently as you get older. According to studies, over 20 million Americans have an overactive bladder, which means they have to go to the bathroom several times a day!
The New 20s?
Remember how we said that being 40 years old is considered fashionable nowadays? And that you shouldn’t be ashamed of your age because many people have realized that life doesn’t end at 40; it simply begins? We have something to say about that, to be sure.
The New 20s
While this is true, being in your forties entails a great deal more. Many people say that 40 is the new 20, or that life begins at 40, but have they reached that age? There’s no way all of the physical discomforts we’re starting to feel are due to the new 20 — There’s no way, right?
A Sad Reality
As we get older, our bodies naturally become frailer. We may be more susceptible to injury, and we begin to feel pains we didn’t have before, particularly joint and back pain. Even the simplest tasks, such as sleeping, are excruciatingly painful. Yes, once you turn 40, you’ll understand what we’re talking about!
A Sad Reality
“Beware: the next Twitter post contains high levels of irony!” should be written next to this image. You’ve probably noticed that a lot of people in their 40s use irony and sarcasm in their posts, right? We’re not sure if that’s an age-related quality!
Surely The Math Is Wrong
We can’t predict much in life, but one thing is certain: our metabolism will slow as we get older. So, what does this mean for the rest of us? Regrettably, this means that losing weight will become more difficult as time passes!
Surely The Math Is Wrong
This article delves into the mechanics of a slow metabolism. As you get older, losing weight becomes more difficult, but gaining weight becomes much easier! It’s almost as if we’re taking the idiom “one step forward, two steps back” a little too seriously!
Another Sad, But Harsh Reminder
Based on what we’ve seen so far, once you reach the age of 40, you realize that most truths are difficult to accept for people our age. This next post will hit us with yet another harsh reality, reminding us that we are getting older!
Another Sad, But Harsh Reminder
If sent by someone who isn’t yet in their forties, this tweet could easily be considered offensive. The original poster, on the other hand, knows exactly what they’re talking about. After we turn 40, we still have a long way to go before retiring, but who knows if our bodies will be able to handle it!
Sleep Routines Should Be Followed Strictly
Our sleep routine is one of the things we should always keep in mind. Instead, we always find a way to disrupt that routine, especially when we’re young and want to stay up later than we should. However, after the age of 40, you should probably stop.
Sleep Routines Should Be Followed Strictly
This picture is pretty clear: if you’re nearing 40, staying up late will cost you a lot of money! Take a look at this man’s anguished face. That will most likely be you if you don’t have a good and early sleep routine!
Pill Organizers Are A Must
When you were younger and visiting your grandparents, you may recall seeing a pill organizer lying around. Pill organizers seemed odd to us at the time, and we didn’t think we’d ever need them. We’ve got some exciting news for you if you’re approaching your fortieth birthday!
Pill Organizers Are A Must
The good news is that you’re almost ready to get your hands on your own pill organizer! As the original poster jokes, you’ll be assigned your own personal pill organizer once you reach your forties. Who is behind this? We have no idea!
Easily Irritated
Do you want to learn something interesting? As we get older, our health isn’t the only thing that deteriorates; our patience begins to wane as well! By the time we reach our forties, we’ve spent enough time on this planet to know what irritates us and what doesn’t.
Easily Irritated
All it takes for a 40-year-old to become irritated, according to Sonja, is for them to wake up and stay awake for 30 minutes! You can see a lot of things that can ruin your day once you hit your forties in just half an hour!
Being Practical
The following tweet has sparked a firestorm of debate. Some believe it is an ironic tweet mocking people in their 40s, while others believe it has no negative connotations. This is, in our opinion, an excellent suggestion!
Being Practical
Imagine being able to eat a snack without ever leaving your bed. That’s why we think keeping snacks in a drawer is one of the best ideas we’ve ever heard! Furthermore, do you know what the most enjoyable part is? No one can criticize your snack drawer because you’re 40 years old!
Start Eating Healthy
If you don’t have gastritis or bile reflux, you should probably thank your lucky stars. Also, be thankful for all the times you didn’t feel anything after eating…or when you awoke. Heartburn is something you’ll almost always experience once you’re in your 40s!
Start Eating Healthy
We regret to inform you that Mr. Dan Sommers is not wrong. In your 40s, you’ll have to deal with a variety of ailments, including heartburn. Do you, on the other hand, want some advice? If you change your diet and start eating healthy, you can avoid heartburn. Plus, it’ll make you feel a lot better in your forties!
New Topics
People talk about a wide range of topics throughout their lives. When we’re kids, all we can talk about is video games. When we’re in high school, all we care about is hanging out with our friends and talking about cute guys and girls. As adults, we discuss our jobs and mortgages. When we reach the age of 40, we start to talk about different things…
New Topics
That’s correct! You’d be talking about gardening now! To be more specific, gardening and other household chores. Inviting people over and gushing about your plants, how green and pretty your grass is, or how delicious your vegetable garden produces are all normal aspects of life in the forties.
Nevermind…
When you’re 40, and you’re still talking about “things we talk about at different ages,” you’ll notice something: kids have their own language. Your demeanor will always reveal your age, no matter how cool you try to appear by wearing trendy clothes and watching popular TV shows.
Nevermind…
But, do you believe this is a good or bad thing? When it comes to trivial matters, people in their 40s can’t keep up with 20-somethings. If you’re feeling down about getting older, we recommend hanging out with some kids half your age. You’ll feel great about yourself in no time!
Time Really Moves Faster
Do you recall how it felt to be 18 only a few years ago? Do you think people who were born in the 1980s were just born yesterday? We’re sorry to tell you that they weren’t. They were both born in the year 1970. And, yes, it’s been 40 years since 1980!
Time Really Moves Faster
If it helps, we’re all experiencing the sensation that time is passing us by faster than it has in the past. Years seem to fly by, and we’re all adults before we know it! There’s a scientific reason for this: our planet is moving at a faster rate than it has ever been, making the years seem shorter and time seem to move faster.
It’s Hard To Admit It
As we mentioned at the outset of this list, as you get older, you begin to appreciate things you previously did not. You may not have had time to read in the past, but now you are a voracious reader. Maybe you’ve never given rugs much thought before… and now you’ve got it!
It’s Hard To Admit It
Yes, as we approach 40, we begin to appreciate home decor items such as rugs. Nothing beats browsing through a rug store or the internet in search of the perfect rug for your home. What is the disadvantage? Rugs are not cheap!
The Walk Of Shame
You’ve probably heard of the term “walk of shame” unless you’ve been living under a rock. Remember how we said that dating in your forties is difficult? The thing we have to tell you is that there will be no more shame walks once you turn 40!
The Walk Of Shame
Well, according to this tweet, we lied. There is a walk of shame in your forties that is even more shameful than the other. It’s when you forget to roll your trash cans back from the curb and the whole neighborhood starts judging you!
Not That Old
Some jokes are only appropriate for people over the age of 40. They’ll come across as offensive to those approaching forty if they don’t. Do you want to see one of these jokes in action? Here’s a great one we discovered:
Not That Old
Do you understand what I’m saying? This is a street sign in Europe that asks drivers to slow down because they are approaching an area with a large number of elderly people. Instead of displaying the speed limit, someone changed it to 40. That is to say, this is an excellent photo to send to 40-year-old friends!
Power Naps
We’ve all seen the stereotypes of an elderly person who is always in pain or falls asleep just as the rest of the family is about to eat dinner. While it’s natural to get sleepier as you get older, it’s important to remember that not all seniors are alike!
Power Naps
Some people, for instance, are extremely active. They place a high value on sports and physical activity. Others, on the other hand, just want to relax and unwind. And it is to them that this post is dedicated! Getting off the couch and living our best lives in our 40s? Sure, but give me a few minutes to nap first!
New Hobbies
As we get older, our hobbies, like everything else in life, change. It’s perfectly fine that we won’t always be interested in the same things. Because our bodies can no longer handle certain activities, we change our hobbies as we get older from a physical standpoint.
New Hobbies
Hiking and traveling were once among this man’s favorite pastimes. As he grew older, he began to appreciate other things, such as painting and playing board games. His favorite pastime in his 40s was annoying his adolescent daughter — and who can’t relate to that?
Memory Needs To Be Exercised
You’ll notice that as you get older, your memory starts to fade and you become distracted. Even if not everyone loses their memory, we all become distracted when performing simple tasks. Do you require evidence of this? Take a look at the tweet below:
Memory Needs To Be Exercised
Are you aware of what we’re talking about? This woman, who is also in her forties, embodied all of us who have been on this planet for at least four decades and are looking for something tangible. That’s how it’s been in our lives!
Proving That You’re Fun
Because of the unfair stigmas and stereotypes that surround them, it’s difficult to find someone who is completely at ease with getting older. Most of us are having a hard time accepting that we are approaching our forties, which may lead to some of us doing foolish things to prove our worth.
Proving That You’re Fun
What exactly are we talking about? About doing crazy stunts just to show that you’re having a good time! People in their 40s are frequently seen dressed in Gen Z fashion or acting like teenagers or young adults. We all know they’re just trying to show how entertaining they are, which is fine. Our advice is that you do whatever you want… Simply avoid putting too much pressure on your back, or you’ll suffer the consequences!
Looking Forward To Cleaning
When we’re young, doing household chores is the last thing on our minds. What adolescent boy or girl cheerfully completes their chores when they are supposed to? However, as we get older, our priorities shift, and all we care about is having our own nice home!
Looking Forward To Cleaning
Isn’t it true that we all desire a nice, well-maintained home? While people in their twenties share this sentiment, those in their forties take it a step further. We already have a lovely home, but we don’t have the time to keep it up to date. As a result, the summer vacation is an excellent time to organize your affairs!
The Rowdiness Has Died Down
Have you heard the popular Hank Williams, Jr. song that goes, “all my rowdy friends have settled down…nobody wants to get loud…everybody just wants to go back home…”? We must warn you: once you reach your forties, you will be able to relate to these lyrics even more than before!
The Rowdiness Has Died Down
You won’t have the energy to do crazy things like stay out all night partying when you’re 40. When you do feel compelled to make poor choices, however, you will not want to do so by yourself. When you call your friends after 8 p.m. and they’re all fast asleep, you’ll be disappointed!
The Dating Pool
We’ve already talked about how dating gets harder as you get older. By the time we’re 40, we’ve already established ourselves in life, and we’ve learned what attracts us and what makes us want to run away from people.
The Dating Pool
As a result, finding someone who meets all of our requirements is difficult — and that’s how the dating pool in your 40s looks! Desolate, desolate, and abandoned! Do you want to figure out how to change it? Here’s a tip: keep an open mind and be willing to try new things!
Not Being Able To Relate To The Kids
To be honest, just because you’re in your 40s doesn’t mean you’re old. Regardless. Do you want us to show you what we’re talking about? Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Spice Girls are all in their forties. Do you think they’re old? No! Nonetheless, there are a few things that make us feel older than we actually are!
Not Being Able To Relate To The Kids
This meme is so accurate that we don’t think it needs to be explained. Are you familiar with TikTok and how it works? We must admit that we have no idea how to use that app; all we know is that it has become the obsession of all the kids these days. And the fact that we don’t know how to use it makes us feel old!
Colonoscopy
This next post is dedicated to all of the 40-year-old men out there! Men in their 40s should have a colonoscopy, and women in their 40s should see their doctor for a breast exam. Maybe this is new to you, maybe not, but almost all men in their 40s have to go through this.
Colonoscopy
While a colonoscopy has no risks, many men refuse to have one because they believe it is too invasive. That’s a pretty prejudiced attitude, especially considering colonoscopies are supposed to help you avoid cancer! Trust us, you would need to go through this.
The Day Has Come!
And we’re going to be able to have it all! Do you know what happens when two 40-year-olds promise to marry each other? We’d like to know when people began to believe that this promise was unbelievable! It’s not exactly flattering when you think about it.
The Day Has Come!
Isn’t it true that if your crush claims they’ll marry you when you’re both 40, they’ll only marry you when they’re old and have no one else to spend their life with? It’s wonderful that they even considered you, but it’s also heartbreaking!
Gotta Have ‘Em All
Aren’t we all familiar with the cliches of lonely, elderly women living alone with a zillion cats? Did you know, though, that some people keep dozens of dogs? You’re probably one of them if you don’t know at least one person like that.
Gotta Have ‘Em All!
By the time you’re in your 40s, your children will most likely be teenagers, and the last thing they’ll want to do is hug or touch their parents. As a result, people in their 40s begin to adopt so many puppies and wouldn’t even remember their names since there are so many pups!
Making The Most Of Our 40s
If we thought about all the things we’ve been moaning about our age, we’d be amazed at how petty we seem. On the other hand, it is evident that we are not doing so. Even if it means being overly dramatic, we’re determined to make the most of turning 40!
Making The Most Of Our 40s
This essay is for our 40-something buddies who know precisely what we’re going through because they’ve been there and done that. They’re unmoved by our outbursts about turning 40! But, hey, we all have our burdens as we get older – no one can criticize us!
Memes Everywhere
Throughout the months, various themes have become increasingly popular on the internet. Every now and again, everyone gets charmed by a new haircut. Other times, everyone is gushing over a specific film or actor. Life beyond 40 is the biggest topic on the internet right now!
Memes Everywhere
As a result, you can find memes about living in your 40s all over the internet! It’s a little overwhelming, but it’s also fascinating to discover how many other people have similar problems to us. It also makes us feel better to know that younger people think 40-year-olds are trendy!
Let Us Sulk In Peace
One thing is certain: getting used to reaching 40 takes a long time. Although this age isn’t inherently a negative one, it does serve as a reminder that we aren’t getting any younger. This isn’t something we accomplish every day!
Let Us Sulk In Peace
You’ll try to deal with turning 40 as calmly as possible, but someone will always try to tease you! So, on top of dealing with a possible mid-life crisis, you’ll have to deal with jokes from family and friends!
A Bit Forgetful
I’m sure we’ve all encountered someone who can’t recall what they said. They can’t be interrupted for even a fraction of a second without losing track of what they’re saying and having to start over! Good news: if you’re approaching 40, you’re one step closer to becoming that person!
A Bit Forgetful
Even if you’ve undoubtedly told the same story to the same person two or three times, you’ll start forgetting what you were saying and have periodic instances of “did I tell you that story?” Anyway, what were we discussing?
A New Chapter Of Life
When we’re in our teens, we think we’re the coolest kids on the block. All we want to do when we enter our twenties is have a good time. We begin to fantasize about touring the world and then settling down when we reach our 30s. What about those of us who are in our forties? So, where do we go from here?
A New Chapter Of Life
While turning 40 can be daunting, it isn’t always a bad thing. It’s actually a great moment to start living life to the fullest and accomplishing all of your goals. If you’ve always wanted to travel, now is the time to do so. If you’re single, now is also the time to fall in love and start a new chapter in your life.
