Please, please assure me I have died and gone to hell!
Just saw something on TV about younger men and old women.
Apparently, "Old women" means women in their 30s!


Since when is 30s old? Sorry guys and gals but apparently most of us are past it at this point. Hell.... I'm gonna be 40 this year! I guess my life is over? Anyone know a good nursing home?

Khash.

1. I feel old.
So there's that. I think in my case, though, it has to do with having a kid. I feel about 43, and I'm not even thirty yet!

I do think I'm going to have to date the younguns whenever I start dating. When a guy is too much older than me, I think it's fair to assume he's not up for watching Spongebob or wearing Burger King crowns. Which I kind of like, here and there.

I don't expect to date much in the future though, so no worries! :nopity:

Sorry, I thought I replied. In my old age I sometimes confuse what I intend to do with what I actually do....

We are not talking about the same man. But it is cool to think there are that many cool people in the library, eh?

In high school I dated a woman in her fifties.

And I did stuff with her I've never done with any one else. Not only was she hot, she had a very active imagination :)

8. Oh, Khash...
I'm turning 40 this year too.

I was just in the picture thread, noticing suddenly that I have "old lady" neck and crow's feet and bags under my eyes.

And my husband IS eight years younger than I am, but still...

Middle aged, probably. OLD? I don't THINK so.

28. Yeah I know
I have white streaks in my hair and my beard is almost entirely white. Personally, I love it.

As for you....Fuck the wrinkles, you're gorgeous! (Besides, I've always thought of wrinkles as scars of battle to be admired)

10. as far as the media is concerned, women are old at 30 or when they spawn,
but men are still sexy at 50+, which is why they always pair older leading men with actresses young enough to be thier daughters.

It's stupid and offensive. Hell it pisses me off and I'm only 24.

29. They used both terms
"Older" doesn't bother me, just a statement of fact.

"Old", however.....

Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 05:56 PM by khashka
That me, Heidi, and Wesley is one of Heidi's jokes - she'd like to see two decrepit old men fight over her.

I can see it now .

Me: I'd hit you Wesley, but my arthritis is acting up. Can't make a fist.

W: I'd fight back, but I need to sit down for a minute and catch my breath first.

H: Go for it, boys!



We need an Old Folks Forum.


Khash.

(I wouldn't normally fight with Wesley, but that mean old man threatened to break my cane!)

Joani, you are an evil little bitch! I take back everything nice I ever said about you.

"Hey! Lets get some old decrepit guys together, inject a little testosterone, and watch 'em stumble around trying to fight. It'll be fun!"

Ok, now I've said that I hate you..... how's life been treating you? Good, I hope :) Haven't talked to you lately and was wondering/hoping you are happy and healthy....

31. And people laugh at me when I say I am getting old
I turned 28 this year. I guess I make that statement based on that idea, that I'll be "old" in a couple of year. Maybe, it's one reason that I've become more obsessed with my appearance, because it is getting near the end of my life when I can be considered "hot".

38. Brought to you by the same folks who freaked out about how FAT
Renee Zellweger was in the first Bridget Jones movie. Oh my god, just because she actually had something residing between her skin and her bone she was just OBESE!

Well, then, I'm done for because I'm 35 (gasp) and I weigh considerably more than the "fat" Renee.

39. There is a growing alternate view
I've been reading reviews of the new Doctor Who series. You would not believe the number of men who have commented on Billie Piper's weight. Saying "Thank God we have a woman on TV who looks like a woman rather than a stick figure". Made me grin :)

41. older women has always meant women in their 30s
hell, i remember dating an older man back in the day -- he was, horrors, 29!

older is by definition a relative thing, to a college freshman of 18, his 24 year old girlfriend is a worldly wise "older woman"

think back, you'll remember this

42. USA Weekend did a stupid profile...
...of Harrison Ford and noted, with great fanfare, that he co-starred with a "mature" woman in his latest film -- Virginia Madsen, who is two decades younger than he is. :eyes: You would have thought Ford had dug a well for a drought-stricken village or saved 20 people from a burning tenement.

Virginia Madsen "mature"? Hot is a better word. But no issue about his age, huh?

There is a double standard..... and it annoys the hell out of me.
