When I was in my early twenties people said they thought I was much older because I came across as very mature. I liked being told that. Now I'm 43 and I feel like I'm 25. I'm much more likely to go out and do stuff that 25 year olds do than guys my age who are married and have kids. It's partly a function of being single, but it's also because a few years ago I realized there were a lot of things I still wanted to experience and I was letting life slip me by. Also, I've seen a lot of people my age start to let themselves go physically, which is having an impact on the way they go about their lives. I committed seriously to fitness a couple years ago and am amazed at how much more energetic I am, even though I was in decent shape before (decent enough that I could play indoor soccer every weekeend, go skiing etc).
