Turning forty is something many people dread. There is definitely some societal stigma that comes along with being in your 40s, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy every minute of it! Everyone knows that 40 is the new 30, anyway. Turning forty is the time of life when you have the wisdom of someone who has lived a good, long life and the energy and youthfulness of a young person. Some would argue those are the best years of your life. Still, there is one thing many 40-somethings have been doing to make the transition from 30 to 40 a little less painful: memes. Check out the memes and tweets people shared to get a good laugh about life in your forties.
#1: All Middle-Aged Men on Social Media
Have you ever noticed that all men aged 40+ have the same profile picture on social media? It seems like there’s a training course on how to take this exact selfie once men turn 40. I’m sure you’ve seen it before on your feed. They all look like the cats in the meme below, with the same camera angle and expression. Why is that?
After seeing those pictures, you’re probably imagining at least a few 40-year-old men who have profile pictures just like that. What is it about turning 40 that makes all men decide that they need a super close-up selfie and a completely blank expression for their social media pages? Someone should probably tell them that’s not a flattering angle.
