-I'm a gay male
-Boyfriend likes the muscles
-I'm a registered nurse and witness daily why bothering to lift weights to maintain physical independence is not a laughing matter...

Basically if you're a fat fuck with noodle limbs in your youth and never bother to change any of that after age 50, have fun spending 65+ in an uncomfortable wheelchair or even a bed because that's where you're headed (incontinence too). Walkers and canes are for the old people who actually took up daily exercise mid-life to avoid a wheelchair. Most seniors who are 70-90+ and are still mobile without equipped assistance were at least marginally athletic the majority of their lives (no phase of obesity after age 21, no diabetes, etc).

You want to be able to keep physically independent as an old man up to at least age 90 and stave off a bunch of crippling conditions that make life miserable? Exercise. Daily. With luck, you can even survive that long on a shitty diet; you just have to make sure you get off your ass and break a sweat once a day. Keeping a weight lifting regimen is key for an average man to "age gracefully".
