What do you feel "too old" for?

Gráinne · 08-17-2011, 12:28 AM

I was having a conversation with a younger friend, who because she is over (x) years old, believes she is too old for cuddle parties, getting a tattoo,travel, all kinds of things. I came right out and told her that I'm (x+never mind) years old, and blast my age, I'll be doing all those things and lots of other crazy stuff until I die. If you rest, you rust, I say.

I began to think that, except for dressing like my teenage daughter, I'm not really "too old" for much. I don't have the same social needs as a younger woman, and don't get a lot out of clubbing like a disco duck anymore, but it doesn't mean I would never go out dancing. If I made a great effort at getting into shape, I'd run marathons, but maybe flipping around in cartwheels isn't a great idea. I can't eat like I used to when I was younger, but that's a change I wanted to make anyway. But I can't offhand think of anything else.

Are there any activities that someone of (x+y) years is "too old" for, in your thoughts? How many of you have done something like bungee jumping or sky diving, or traveled to some far corner?

i see people my age out there surfing fairly often, but i assume they've been surfing for years. i am definitely too old to start.

Rollerskating/blading.

I used to be so good when I was younger. I mean, REALLY good.

Then Mare took me to a roller rink after x-amount of years later and I realized I can't do that anymore. My mind remembered how - but my body said "oh hell no". Now it hurts when I fall, lol. The kind of ouchie that keeps me laid up for days.

I'm sure that if I picked it up and continued to practice it'll all come back, but at this point in my life - it's a been there, done that - and I'm okay with that. But I refuse to never say never.

luv2luvgirls · 08-17-2011, 05:39 AM

yes I cant pull all nighters anymore and still function the following day

but if I was still in Fla I would so still surf. I do skateboard still,but i have skater nephews and a lil one that likes to do stuff with me...keeps me young

Though I found out I can only last like 20 or 30 minutes during a watergun fight and im worn out

suebee · 08-17-2011, 06:31 AM

Tube tops. Of course I was too old for tube tops by the time tube tops were invented Thank Gawd!

*Anya* · 08-17-2011, 06:40 AM

To old to do what my first GF & I used to do. We would work a double-shift (7:00AM to 11:30PM) @ the hospital, take a shower in the nurses lounge, get glammed up (hey we were both femmes-it was before I realized butches "did it" for me), we would drive to LA from OC, go to Peanuts (no longer there, but it was a great lesbian bar with dance floor) and we would dance until the bar closed. We would dance nearly every song.

We then would drive back to OC, sleep for 2-3 hours and get up and be at work for the morning shift Saturday morning, from 7AM to 3:30PM.

That is the difference between being in your 20's and 50's! Maybe I should make an "I" statement here- I am sure some 50+ year-old can still do this but there is no way I could physically do this now.

Do I wish that I still could, oh yes. They were fun, fun times!

goodlilfemme · 03-02-2013, 09:14 PM

im in my 30's and loving it but i find there are times i feel to old to be refered to as little girl if its from someone that i dont know and they dont know me . to old for someone to tell me im to young for anything which seems to happen to me alot. always goodlilfemme

I feel I'm too old to get a nose ring even though I think they're really sexy.
I feel I'm too old to settle for anyone less then what I need in my life.

I feel I'm too old for one night stands (not that any age is ok)

I feel I'm too old to wear a bikini (even though my daughter talked me into it last summer)

TheMerryFairy · 03-05-2013, 08:23 PM

I feel too old to be carded at the liquor store, only when I forget my ID in the car.

the nose ring thing, I did when I was younger, but now in my maturity

I wear a teeny tiny diamond, and get more compliments on that one.

try it, you just might like it!

BowtiePrincess · 03-05-2013, 08:57 PM

I am too old for.....changing my ways, to need approval and to eat from the kiddie menu.

StevieBoi · 03-19-2013, 02:33 PM

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!
