As per my hairdresser, I am too old to have a streak of a crazy color in my hair. I asked for that, and she said very directly, with no smile and awkwardness or harshness, "No, that's for younger people." It didn't upset me. I found it funny (maybe the way she stated it like a certain fact, like the sky being blue) and reflected that my job might have an issue with it. I like to let hairdressers do what they wish with me anyway :)

I just got my hair cut. It was really long. (it's still long by most people's standards.) I've put myself through this several times before. I think that a guy having long hair is _________ fill in the blank with what ever negative rationale you can think of. The latest thing is the age thing. So I went to
a friend that is a stylist and she cut my hair. She did a really good job. And even though I tried to psych myself up for this, pre-grief and all, I'm kinda sad that I did it. After I had it cut I saw several men older than me with long hair, including one guy with white hair.

So I'm sad that I bought into the whole 'you're too old for this' crap.... :-(

Skateboarding, I am too old for skateboarding. If I fell, it would all over. :-/

I am not to old for anything! I just need to be able to have a head start! :-)

Heck, I not only need a head start, I quite possibly may need a nap somewhere along the way! Lol!

Sweet Bliss 03-07-2013 12:40 PM

I second the nap time. Too old isn't it for me. Am too tired.

I like going to bed early and gettin up early, and my nap so I can make it to bedtime.... lol Think I need more vitamins or something....:jester:

Although if dancing is on the agenda, I'm up all night!!

I agree, and fuck that stylist who said you're too old for crazy color streaks!

My friend Bertha, who's reading today in our series, is in her sixties, runs a well known small press and literary center, is a respected Beowulf scholar and poet in her own right—and has spiky blue hair.

agape 03-10-2013 08:45 AM

lots of things... but the first that came to mind is that I feel I'm too old to be playing around (eg. with other people's feelings...) not that it's ever ok to do that, just feel I don't have the time and energy for games anymore and when I meet people that think otherwise, I calmly walk away...

It doesn't always have to be a mean game-playing, it might as well be a part of flirting/chase me/so many want me-you should try to compete and win me etc. etc. etc. For some people it's part of dating and that's fine. I just feel I prefer a bit more straight forward communication...

You should have told her you're too old to put up with hairdressers that don't do what you ask them to do.

Apparently, I am too old to do whatever it was that inflamed my archilles tendon overnight.

I am also too old to remember what that might have been.

:blush:

Jean_TX 03-10-2013 10:00 AM

I'm too old to avoid pursuing something that I really want, especially if the only reason to avoid pursuit is that society regards me as being "too old to be doing that"! :thumbsup:

Daktari 03-10-2013 12:53 PM

Way too old...

That is the best response in the whole thread! Thanks for the laugh.

Bèsame* 03-10-2013 07:59 PM

too old, what the heck?

I can climb ladders to change a light bulb. I can wash windows. I can kill a big spider, bug, and even a scorpion. But why why why can't I open a jar anymore? It's not age..it has to be muscles, right?....:bigcry:

I refuse to buy cans!!!!

In my mind I am Not too old for anything. Every now and then my body will give me a gentle reminder that I am not 25 anymore.

Apparently I'm too old for dating, of all things. When did it get so complicated? Whatever happened to the shy awkwardness of asking a lady for a date and taking the time to get to know her? I'm having a hard time getting my head around the idea of skipping any form of dating and just jumping in the sack together. Case in point, over the weekend I got propositioned for a one night stand...by a woman I have never laid eyes on before. THEN, she called me a prude when I politely declined her offer. Is this what they now call "dating"? If so, it's a damn good thing I've embraced being single. Oh how I long for the days when things were simpler, and those with integrity were respected and cherished. Maybe it's just the local scene, or maybe, just maybe, I really am a prude. :confused:

Honestly, the person you're describing who called you a prude for not wanting to go home with her—she sounds drunk.

I was having a hot exchange with a butch once who asked, the moment she learned my age, "Do you have any problems lubricating?" and "How's your libido?"

I don't know if you're too old to date; only you know when you're done with all that. But I'm willing to bet, you're old enough to know when someone isn't eligible to date you. Don't let one loser get you down. It's a big world, and it's the only one we've got. It's a beautiful world, too, full of people with good hearts.

Sounds like they are interviewing s*x workers. :readfineprint:

I couldn't honestly say if she was drunk or not. And while I appreciate directness, that was a little too direct for my liking from someone I knew nothing about. I haven't given up on the idea of dating, but if that's all there is to it, I'm really not interested.

Too Old For?
 
I thought I was too old to feel like I'm feeling right now! ...like a love sick teenager. I'm new here... This special someone called me a boi and I had to look it up to see what that was. Of course I got hundreds of definitions and parts of many of them fit me. But not exactly all of any one of them.
I thought I was too old to try anything new sexually but look at me on BF Planet.
Not new to Lesbianism but new to BF... I'll turn 50 this year so I hope the Fine Wine folks will accept me and give me some gentle guidance.

Your never too old to feel like a love sick teenager. :) Isn't it a wonderful feeling? Lol.. I am 44 and in many ways starting my life all over again. Some of it scares the hell out of me. Some of me just finally feels settled. But the part of me that fell in love with my Sir and Daddy is fuck yeah!! a love sick teenager!! lol.

Good luck!
