или лет, не только градусов

только лет. This refers to people who are 40+ years old: сорока-плюс-летние люди))) (I know that's wrong - but it will give you an idea of what this means): "I've always gotten along better with people older than myself. Even when I was a teenager, I was hanging out with 40-somethings and drinking and smoking."

Good catch, Olga!
