Does he leave the "seat" up? That's a true test..
Beautifully said.
Do you know Zena?
I know it's coming..it is here..I want to get it over with..no tears for lost looks..no problems with what I have accomplished..
I don't really know how to explain it..
I too, look (not great, but pretty) good for my age and I have my Mom's side of the family's genes to thank for that. I often get taken for mid-late 40's or early 50's
Regardless, age is a "state of mind" and (as the old saying goes) its all a case of mind over matter--if you don't mind, it don't matter.
Listen, every decade I feel better than the last and at 50, your not even over your prime yet and as long as you have your health, (which I hope is the case) you've got it all.
I, like many others, sometimes think (and say) that it would be nice to be 21, or 30 or 40 again, usually though, with the caveat, "and know what I know now," but in reality, I'm happy with where I'm at and my age and don't think I'd really want to go back.
But don't fret, you aren't alone. Its a fact of life that we all age--it just that some of us do so more "gracefully."
A man's take on relationship (well, mine anyway):
"Make me happy and you'll be happy, make me sad, and just don't bother coming around!!"
My husband is an a$$. Outwardly
He talks abut himself a lot..he talks over Bill O'Reilly..he talks through my favorite shows..I love him! Truly.
My husband needs constant reassurance (for several reasons). So what? When he feels loved and fulfilled so do I. So I get irritated once in awhile., sometimes..sometimes, it's like SHUT UP!!..but that feeling is so small compared to my love
NO oxymoron to what I have said, I still play games..but I love him..truly
Carter AND Arafart.
Demographics sometimes choose our methods
No but I've seen Xenalyte around.....:)
OOOOOH YEEEAAAH!! I can attest to that. Didn't do to well in class, but I aced almost every one of the girl tests. Hey, you gotta know where you're priorities are. They say a good man is always backed up by a great woman!! I had to do my homework, and I found mine, HEHE!!

It is a matter of being comfortable with yourself and where you are at in life. We are in the age that is breaking the old standards. A few centuries ago, 40 was considered "old".
But you'll love her anyway..because you ove her..right?
Sometimes, there is not a choice. Loving someone means loving their perceived "faults">
"But after a divorce..."
The reason my ex is an ex is because of her electrifying personality. She always attracted the highest attention from all the clerks in every store in town by opening her purse and yelling 'CHARGE'.
;^D
With replies like that, I vote women are funnier.
If men are so smart, why is it, that 60% of college graduates are now women? Maybe it is smart not to get a college degree, but I doubt it. What I think is that males more than females, tend to be disproportionately represented on both ends of the bell curve tail, as to smarts. Why? I don't have a clue.
From what I've seen, that "something else" is mooching off mom & dad. I've never seen so many lazy young men thinking their parents are obligated to support them forever. I've never seen so many older men who think their wives/girlfriends should support them. Is it something in the water making men lazy?
IMHO, man and woman were made to complement one another. Men submerse themselves in calculus, women tell them when to come in from the rain.
I knew I was getting it wrong. Damn oldtimer's.
