It isn't easy, as you say, being an older guy in a world that places more value on youth, but I've never met an older guy who would volunteer to be young again. Younger type body, yes, for some, but not younger mind, experience, problems.
When I was younger, I swore two things for myself when I grew older:
1. never dress like I'm a young guy when I'm no longer young;
2. remember how I hated those very pushy older guys who just seemed to have concluded they had nothing to loose so why not be very assertive. No really should be respected.
By the way, I turned 50 yesterday so I'm now officially an old man!
