too old...well, I think of it this way...
 

too experienced not to embrace loving profoundly that intelligent, gorgeous, feisty, juicy delicious woman when she crosses my path...

too experienced not to be in the best health of mind, body, and spirit that I can be so I can continue to enjoy loving me.

too experienced not to appreciate my lovely family, and creative friends of all experiences (read ages)...

too experienced not to dance joyously to music so moving it makes all of Time stop as I hold Her in my arms and we dance to its rhythm

too experienced not to know that each moment is precious and that I am grateful for it...even as the silver rides my temples...I love life.

Total overhaul. Seems to be happening anyway. :blink:

Absolutely Nothing..........
 

Absolutely nothing..............age is a number it doesn't define your ability to do anything or who you truly are.
The older I get, the better I get!
(Does it count I'm on the verge of 50?)

Posing for a centerfold...

:)

Uhn uh!!

My job. I have to be on my feet on tile floors, walk for what seems like miles, lift shit off high shelves that weighs way to much, and then put it back. My back is borderline with a bulging disc, I have plantar faschiaitis, and still, can work circles around some of the 20something year olds I work with. I just want to go to bed as soon as I get home some days!

I feel to old to continue to postpone my dreams.

Sex in a car (at least cars that are manual).

Standing up and then bending over and then leaning under and then kneeling and then standing part way up but bending again to the side and then straightening up only to need to bend over again and sit down.

I am too old to be 'cool'. Is cool even used anymore?

Dating more than one woman at a time. No, I don't think there is anything wrong with this because dating isn't a relationship and sometimes it is good to aloow oneself to get to know more "possibles." But, I just don't have the energy to do this anymore. If I enjoy someone's company and we both want to find out about each other, I'd rather just see her. Also, I just don't feel like trying to relate at a deeper emotional level with more than one person in a romantic sense.

Obviously, I'm coming from a monogamous, long-term relationship perspective. We are all different.

Wow, in all my years online I think this might be the first time I have seen dating clairified. IMO, dating is dating. It may look like poly to some, or even a "relationship". For some it is dating, getting to know a person. Thank you.

I feel too old for Just Dance... Just sayin. Hahah

I know, Greyson- maybe we need a definition of dating thread!

drama....everyone has it...but im not going to sink to an immature level....ill just remove it from my life

Yeah. Pass the scalpel.

Dating the twenty something's...Its like Relationship 101...Uggh !!!!

relationship 101? Or you just can't keep up with them?

It's a regional thing, I think, and maybe a sign of the times. People don't date like they did when I was young. When my daughter was a teenager in ND, you were a slut if you dated. You had to "go with" someone, one at a time. I just thought that would lead to trouble....and it probably did. Her cousin in Cali who was her same age did date like I did as a young woman.

I dated several at a time, and it was interesting getting to know each one. It helps sort out what you want in a relationship. And, when you're young, it helps you learn how to behave with someone.

Now that I'm in this community, I'd like to date more for that very reason, to get to know other people and to explore what relating is about.

I agree- and getting to know someone is important. I guess since I have spent 27 years "relating," and am now 60, I think I get relating (and am quite relational). I also think that in my age cohort (and I don't date much younger or much older women), it is also more limited- but I also find that there are many other things I want to do other than date with my time. And I honestly do like getting to know someone on many levels which, for me, takes time as well as experiencing how things go through the curve life throws me and what may be a major event in the life of who I am dating.

When I was young, the "going together" thing was more true also when I was heterosexual. This changed after realizing that my heart and soul was at peace with a woman. Although, by age 30, I wanted a monogamous "marriage." Prior to that I went through poly relationships and was also bisexual. I was rather experimental, now that I think about it.

Aging has also brough more of a need to savor what I am experiencing- the "the less time you have, the more you don't want to waste" phenomenon, I believe. So many things that I used to be able to cope with and compromise about, I just want to anymore. The "need" for a relationship/marriage has transformed into being about what I "desire and want" really.

I really enjoy dates full of conversation in which I feel listened to and want to return this to my date. Being able to laugh easily with someone I am dating is important as well as both of us not being afraid to let our faults show. We all have them- might as well get them out there and see if any are non-negotiables. And of course, I get anxious about all of this because I don't date anyone that I don't have a romantic and yes, physical "tug" for. Who likes rejection! But, it is part of life. Have to deal with it.

I also think that so much changes with aging and losing someone via death- a partner and also several loved ones.

What I bolded is one of the clearest statements about going through this situation I have ever read. And why more often than not (there are exceptions, but I always wonder about the developmental age of the more senior member in these), a large age difference doesn't work.

I also agree with your observation about some cattiness to the question and that it was a personal shot. I could be wrong- don't know either party, but keeping the personal out of the forums/threads is really appreciated.

Contact sports. I do not think my nose could take another breaking or another deviated septum surgery.

I am learning that I can no longer move furniture or lift appliances or do most kinds of tough work like I used to without "feeling the burn " for days. My muscles seem to produce too much of that "after exercise " acid that my old, Lupus ridden body can't process and flush out correctly. I really miss my younger, VERY ACTIVE, VERY STRONG, able years and body. I miss muscles that work and kidneys that process toxins correctly. BUT.... none of what I feel today can take away my feeling of accomplishment and contentment from yesterday. I feel good emotionally even if the old body can no longer keep up.

I really don't feel too old for anything, but my body totally doesn't agree with my mind when I'm on my knees! *smirk*

I can not longer keep working when I get sick. I use to work right through it and just deal. Now I am so tired and can't keep my eyes open all day or even sit at a computer or talk on a phone. Yikes it stinks getting older sometimes. LOL

at the moment..
 

bullshit..........and all that, that implies

I am too old to be naive enough to believe that 'just a drink at your place ' really is 'just a drink at your place'.

I am too old to be in a relationship that would deserve the facebook status 'it's complicated'.

I am too old to believe you only get to love once.

Too Old For....
