Hitting 40

"There's a thing where I'll see a good-looking waitress in her twenties ... and I know how out of the running I am. It's a realisation of how invisible I am. Not that I was ever very lucky in that regard, but just knowing how invisible I am, to me, that's one of the worst things about ageing. It's like that Woody Allen line about the death of hope. You always figure you got a shot. Then, all of sudden, you don't."

Donald Fagan sums it up.

I never would've thought being horribly unattractive would have benefits as I got older :P

You are only invisible if you chose to be bez, confidence and personality mean more than looks or age.

Bollocks to that. Today one of my fellow teachers, an attractive late 20s/early30s female :wub: gave me her number so "we can meet up or go out somewhere during spring break next week".

Never too old as bob the tank says above.

I still remember the day i realised i wasn't young anymore . Kids parents evening at secondary school in Perth , where you are escorted into the dining hall by 17-18y.o. mini skirted prefects and all i was ogling was the tidy dinner ladies .

I'm still shaking my head at that .

There's a death thread, a mid life crisis car thread and a turning 40 thread.

Of course, mine's is for shits and giggles, the others are genuine breakdown threads.

Anyhoo, off to look at 18yo Thai mail order brides and order more just for men. See ya!

I didn't feel that I was in my 30's until my younger sister turned 30.
