At what age do old man balls kick in?

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...
- 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).
- Do you get hairy nostrils? Like one or two really long nose hairs that need to be clipped?
  
  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!
  
  "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.
- Ear hair is when I knew I was officially old.
- 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.
- Wait what… now I’m gonna be paranoid and check my ears in the mirror every day
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? 🤔
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
It feels gradual but definitely noticeable in my late 30s.
I'm 59 and I've worn briefs my entire life. My wife calls my balls "high and tight".
Your mileage may vary.
Just to add to the choir. Noticeable in 30s, worse in 40s..
