Men of AskMenOver30! In the interest of creating a deeper, more engaging, and more relevant community for all of us, we've implemented a recurring, Weekly Wednesday check-in thread.
- How are you doing this week?
- How are you feeling this week?
- How have things changed from last week (if at all)?
- Are you proud of anything you've done this week?
- Are you struggling with anything this week?
- Do you need advice or feedback on anything that's happening?
Feel free to share your wins, losses, and general progress. You can talk about anything from work and career, to personal projects, to personal development and family, to friendships and socialization, even dating.
Life is ongoing, and sometimes it's good to have a community around us that can reflect that. Hopefully this weekly check-in will serve as a good tool and outlet for those who need it.
You are encouraged not only to post, but to respond to posts by others. Support your fellow men in their trials and tribulations.
Please be respectful in your comments.

Half marathon race is coming up in 2 weeks, and I just PR’d in training at a 7:18 pace. Vibes are high, liable to roll an ankle on a hedgeapple or get sick in the next few days.
Feeling pretty good, to be honest.
Work is fine despite a reasonably stressful last month and definitely stressful this month leading up to a large event that I’m mostly organising. It’ll all work out, but we’re trying new things for it that I’ve not done before and that’s got me on edge.
Dating a wonderful woman right now after a lifetime of being single. Date 5 last night went absolutely wonderfully – conversation flows well, we have no issues communicating, and no topic seems to be off the table.
Havent exercised all week, got a serious shoulder twinge, but will get back on board soon enough.
Things are feeling good.
Stressed about work but so far the rest is good.
Nervous but excited.
Starting a new career in hospitality next week and also moving into a new apartment.
Gonna be 32 in 2 weeks so that’s good as well.
Feeling very sad and empty right now, with no reason to hope for better. Struggling with loneliness and my father making my life difficult. Have the lowest self-esteem I’ve ever had, feeling thoroughly embarrassed to be me. Really beginning to dread the long, cold, dark winter ahead.
feeling like we shoudl take over r/AskMenOver40
since this sub is over 10 years old.
I’m doing well. Things are going well. I’m kinda stalled at work. I have a good job and salary but it’s not as satisfying as it used to.
