I'm nearly 40 myself - 38 in December. The guy I've been seeing will be 44 next month. I've heard a lot of people say that age is just a number, but it depends on the person really... I've dated much younger, and much older (19 when I was 28, and 57 when I was 25 - both decent relationships, and much better than dating guys my own age) and like half_baked said, who are "they" that treat you as if you have one foot in the grave?

Yes, who the heck are "THEY"? Because "THEY" are nuts, LOL If it's anyone under the age of 20 remember it's their job to make you feel old, lol Challenge them to some DDR and whoop their butts, that'll show 'em who's got one foot in the grave,

There's nothing wrong with having one foot in the grave if you're tap dancing into it! LOL
After my 25th class reunion I declared that I would not attend another one. There were way too many "old" people there. And I'm certain many have seen the same thing with their former classmates. The only good part was dancing and jiving with some of the "past" hot babes that wouldn't give me the time of day back in '63. Gratefully some were still hot for their age.
You might want to check the age of some of your kids "idols", Starry. Maybe some of them are also "old"! LOL

The years from 40 - 50 may actually be the perfect age for dating.
The way I see is it that if I go out with a chick in her 20's, and things don't go real well... I can always hook up with her mother.
The field of play increases, lol.

^^^^ Is that "backfield in motion"? LOL
When the younger set says:
"You're probably old enough to be my Father!"
I always ask:
"Possiblly....what was your Mother's name!"

Rollo - hysterical. I gotta use that line sometime!
Personal outlook, the only real difference between me at 40, and when I was 20?
I can do twice as much legally, and am twice as good. <smile> Take that how you will.

When my oldest daughter was 14/15 - just a couple of years ago- she thought Mick jagger and Steven Tyler were "OMG SOOOO HOT" I just reminded her that Mick was old enough to be MY father, and Steven Tyler is almost 12 years older than me, lol Must be a lip thing, :P lol

Wish I had a daughter TCK!
Truth is I party more now than I ever did at 20, have more close friends, do more exciting things, have more sexy fun and more boyfriends too!
The secret? Get in shape, lose weight, get a total make-over, trade your sedan in on a sports car, take dancing lessons, etc. My hubby was a pro photographer and knew all the make-over tricks. When he was done I looked and felt 20 years younger!!! And...........most of all, don't hang out with old-in-the-head losers! They're old because they think they are.

First, I am new to chat rooms and all that goes with them. So could someone please tell me what TCK means. I have seen it used several times in these forums.
Second, I am 52 yrs old and am still going strong. People tell me that I don't look my age and though I am mature I don't have a a 52 yr old mind set.
Granted I can't run up and down a ball court like I used to but I still get there. And all the women in my life have always been younger than me- anywhere from 5
to 20 yrs. Maybe that is what has kept me young in heart and mind.

In the 1984, Ronald Reagan was the oldest president to have ever served, and his capabilities were questioned by many. He, too, was treated as if he had one foot in the grave. In his campaign against Walter Mondale, Mr. Reagan endet the age issue with the simple words: "I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."

Speaking from the younger point of view, I've never thought of 40 as "old". I've had friends in their 60's that still go out and do lots of fun things, and they are more entertaining to hang out with. They also have lots of great stories and bits and pieces of knowledge to share

Anyway,,, this thread reminds me of a joke:
Two old guys (that live in Pistolero's Florida Retirement Oasis) are out taking separate walks.. when they run into each other:
Ernie: Irving!!! How you Irving.. I haven't seen you in a long time!
Irving: I'm okay, I doing all right..
Ernie: And your wife? Hows your lovely wife?
Irving: My wife? (sighs).. My wife.. well.. I think she's dead...
Ernie: You think your wife's dead? Why do you think your wife's dead?
Irving: Well.... the sex is the same... but the dishes are piling up in the sink...

What's up with you people????
See what's happening to your minds??? The question to this thread required just a simple "yes" (or "yus" as im5 would spell it) or "no" answer.. not all of this puffed up discourse!
And the answer to this thread is "YES".

And lets remember (something that all of you are probably having trouble with at your age):
"Yes", is positive
"No", is negative....
You know, just in case anyone thinks that I'm being negative....

It's all good, send anyone you want down here. The cops will prey on them, just like they prey on us....

Don't call me old people, sonny...why, when I was your age, I used to walk 40 miles to school in the snow, with no winter coat or shoes, and I was glad to be able to do it! We didn't have airplanes to jump out of back then, you know...we had those Ronco things where you wind the rubber band and the cardboard plane shoots up into the sky. I used to have my sister wind it while I sat on it, but I rarely made it more than 2 feet, and usually landed on my head. Come to think of it, it isn't that far removed from Spirit Airlines, though they usually spend a lot more on gas.

Well, there are a few benefits when others assume you're older than dirt. True story: last week when I went to the theater to catch a flick, the kid at the ticket booth didn't even ask but charged me the lesser senior rate, saving me about a buck off the regular matinee price. For a moment or two, I was afraid I was being set-up for a bust by the age police ("Just a minute, there, sonny. Pretty spry for a geezer, ain't ya? How's about you cough up some ID and your birth certificate better be carved on a wood block or hand-written on a parchment scroll..." ) but fortunately the age police never showed. I was thinking I probably should have pointed out to the kid that technically I'm not a senior, but then I realized this was probably karma from all those times as a 16 or 17 year old trying to sneak into restricted adult movies like Dirty Harry or the Exorcist, wishing I looked older than I did. Unfortunately, I found out there is no senior's discount for popcorn.

The answer to the question... can't answer it, I'm not in my 40's anymore *laughing... but I'll try again: ***** so there you have it.
And, If anything, they don't treat me like I have a foot in the grave, they try to treat me like an atm! Like that is going to happen!! ROFL!!
Cimm, soon it'll be time to be sending your "crips" this way *unless we get washed out* so start getting the paperwork ready!! If you come from michigan, they treat you like aren't from the states... ???? So be ready for some frustration at the dmv, it's almost hilarious. TIP: Don't wait until the last minute, you do NOT want to be caught with anything out of order down here...
Cap... didn't spirit crash a plane into the 'glades a few years ago? Something about explosive cannisters in the luggage area..

well I want to put in my two cents here.. I am way very past 40! ha and Yes I will have to say over 40 is heading your foot to the grave.. ha. Biff I have to agree with you bout the age police ha.. I too tried something like that just before I did turn 55 , I was in a Denny's one day and asked for a senior discount meal , and to my surprise the gal asked to see my ID ha.. tho I did have to show her , I begged her to give in that I was only just a couple months away before I did turn 55, but she still said NO, ha.. well heres what I did do just last november.. ha when I turned 56 , I went back to the same Dennys and that same gal was still there and to my surprise she asked for my ID again.. and I gladly showed her and said now Im past 55 give me my damn discount ha ... but will have to say everyone getting older is sure fun , its a hell of a good ride.. ha I wouldnt go back to being young again , I did too many stupid things ha. They say "the older get wiser" true I like being wise .. ha.

I'm still trying to figure out how to go about meeting people to date. I'm 45 now and just got a divorce. I haven't dated since I was in my 20's. Times have changed and sometimes I wonder who's going to be interested in a 45 year old slightly overweight woman. I'm really shy and that makes it even harder. I'm taking things into my own hands this weekend though and I'm going to a sports bar to watch the superbowl. I'm not staying home and feeling sorry for myself.

I remember when I was maybe 32, my oldest son asked me how old I was- I told him, he looks at me and says, "geez mom...you're, like, ancient!"---I never forgot that, ha- then....when he was 19, he got a call from some kid who was 15 (they were starting a band), they talked for a bit, and then the kid asked my son how old he was- he told him 19, and the kid stops a minute, then says "Whoa...you're pretty up there, aren't ya?"---my son told me that bothered him something awful, I laughed- and then reminded him of what he had said to me a few years before that- haha

You are only as old as you feel. So some days, i'm 16, and some days i'm 180. It's all in your head. If someone has an attitude about your physical age, it's THEIR problem, move on, move up.
