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

Not sure, but goddamn I could have done with some warning that I’d need to start shaving my ears when I turned 30.
My nose has become a thing…
Ear hair is when I knew I was officially old.
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)
This happens to my chin (I’m a lady).
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.
Do you get hairy nostrils? Like one or two really long nose hairs that need to be clipped?
“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.
This is why I read Lemmy: valuable life lessons.
LOL. Just the other day I was searching for info on scrotums and older men
Removed by mod
Just telling us that made a lot of older men very happy.
And clean it!
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!
nose trimmer
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.
Not the nose, but the wolf ears are awful.
I know, right?? Ear hair just gets super aggressive one day in your 30s.
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.
Basically they… fall out from the head and wherever they land that’s their new place?
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
Wait what… now I’m gonna be paranoid and check my ears in the mirror every day
You’re in for a treat!
Spoiler:
You’ll get to have a “the calls are coming from inside the house” situation when something keeps “crawling” on your ear…
37 and they sag a little, but they can also go all brain mode randomly too 🤷♀️
I’m 59 and I’ve worn briefs my entire life. My wife calls my balls “high and tight”.
Your mileage may vary.
proof?
Just to add to the choir. Noticeable in 30s, worse in 40s…

Let me save you some time. It all happens way quicker and way younger than you expected.
My balls have definitely started sagging this year and I’m 34
Thoughts and prayers.
I still got all my hair so I’m counting my blessings
Me too, it just migrated
I just tripped over them last week and I’m 40.
It’ll happen to you too!
I presume it’s highly dependent on how hot of climate you’re in
That’s interesting. Are you suggesting a hot and/or humid climate might create more slack in the sack?
Yea, I mean it’s the reason they hang outside the core of the body in the first place
When you can tuck them under your gut, you’ll know.
I’m hoping I will be able stash them in my butthole, for a more aerodynamic look.
Do you see that as more of a serial or parallel arrangement? 🤔
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.
Follow your dreams, my friend.
It feels gradual but definitely noticeable in my late 30s.
