I know for me recently turning 50, I had the thought as I was brushing my teeth. Do I look 50, then I had to ask what does 50 look like. I guess for me I dont' go so much for the outer looks as I do the inner. I don't think I have ever let age be much of a factor when dating. I do look for compatible lifestyles, etc.

I think OP. what you are saying can be flipped around I have seen my men I kind of shocked when I found out they were in their mid 40's I thought they had to be in mid 50's to say the least.

Isn't it great that we all are WHO we are, like WHAT we like and best yet .. have the ability to make these choices in life.

:wink:


I think the key is to find your niche, know your comfort zone, be happy with your life where you have chosen to live it flowerforyou
well said, if another happens into so much the better

Is it just me ?
When I was younger, people my own age, looked my age to me.
Now at 57, people my own age, look older than me, IMO.
I suppose I look their age to them, but my brain hasn't adjusted yet I suppose. I feel like im in the black hole of life...
At first, I thought I was going crazy, but then I started noticing other stuff, like music interests. Im still into AC/DC, Johnny Winter, Led Zepplin, ZZ Top, The Doors, etc... Am I some weird old guy who never grew up, or just set in my ways ? I hope im just firmly set in my ways. I don't wanna be some old weird dude bigsmile



I would like to think our generation has a different aspect on age. I know my Aunt at 35 had the gray hair, glasses with chains, and the old lady clothing that I now see on women in their 80s. I am almost 50 and still don't dress that way. I also listen to AC/DC, ZZ Top, etc, but also like Lady Ga Ga, Headly, etc. Me, I didn't want to be like my parents at all. I took better care of my health so didn't age as badly as my parents. So, no you are not wierd. We all march to the beat of a different drum and if you are happy with your ways; just embrace it and have fun.
