Things That Men in Their 30s Need to Stop Doing…..Like Now

I've been in my 30's for going on 7 years now. I've fought and am beating cancer, I've gotten married, I made a major move to another city. Basically, I've grown up and decided it was time to leave certain things in my 20's where they belong. Sad thing is....a lot of men in the 30's try and hold on to the "glory days" and that can be an incredibly sad thing to witness. Here is a list of things to stop doing in your 30's:

1. Stop going clubbing! What exactly does the club hold for you? Do you really think your chances of meeting a 22 year old model are high enough to justify $12 domestics? Unless you're a rapper or an athlete, you have no business at the club. Even if you are a rapper or athlete, it's a grey area.

2. Anything at all having to do with Tapout. Honestly, it should be banned for all men in the world regardless of age but there still has to be a way to spot the guys with gentialia-related inferiority complexes. However, once you hit 30? Stickers, shirts, shorts, or even uttering the phrase needs to go.

3. If you're older than 30 and you include "smh", "omfg", or anything else that isn't the word? You're benched for the next three innings. Take a lap.
And how about spell checking that stuff, man? What are you, 17?

4. T-Shirts with sparkles on it. Rule of thumb: If it's from Affliction or Ed Hardy -- put it on the rag pile. There's no reason for a grown man to wear a t-shirt that's been Bedazzled.

5. Knit hats or "beanies". There's no reason for a man in his 30s to wear a knit hat unless he's skiing or robbing someone.

6. Using a flip phone. You're 30 and up, it's time you made enough money to afford a smartphone. The only thing a flip phone says about you is that you're too dumb to use a smartphone, or that you can't afford it. Or both.

7. Choreographed handshakes. Men shake hands. Men do not slap fists leading into an itsy bitsy spider followed by feeling the need for speed.

8. Making hand signs in photos. Unless you're in a gang or you're a Raiders fan (which is basically the same thing), there's no reason for 30 year old man to throw up any kind of signs in a photo.

9. Lifted Trucks. If you're that ashamed of having a small penis, there's other ways to deal with it. Jacking your truck up to the point that it needs a stepladder to get in just broadcasts your insecurity issues. Grow up.

10. Take down the Scarface poster. At your age, there's no reason people should come over and see a poster for a gangster movie. By all means, watch 'Scarface' great movie. But maybe your apartment should look like a man lives there and not a 16 year old.

Can't wait to see what 40 holds. I'll keep you posted.
