Really. Most people I know over 40 are more relaxed than the under-40ers. People over 40 tend to be more interesting than people under 40. Subjective, I know. People over 40 tend to have more money and things. Like, "oh, please feel free to use my vacation home in Palm Springs next time you're there." Or "why don't you fly on down with us to Baha next weekend?" My last such invitation from a wealthy friend was for my wife and I to go with her to her house in Barcelona next winter, where she goes to inspect her family's properties each year. Truly beautiful -- as opposed to just plain cute -- women don't hit their most beautiful years until they're in their forties. Classic beauty -- true beauty -- cannot sit properly upon a young girl's face. People in their 40s and 50s are in their most powerful years in bussiness, academe, etc. In positions of control. In positions of getting things done. That's fun. Real fun. You do get smarter as you get older. Of course, we've all known 80 year olds who behave as children, but if you're willing to let life speak to you, you really will become a better, smarter person. bigbadtikidaddy, I know it's a shocker to notice that the young babes aren't giving you the once-over anymore. My advice is to embrace being 40. Draw confidence from your successes and let your failures make you even tougher. And now knowing, as you surely must after 40 years of life, that nothing is for keeps and each marker on the road is not the end-all and be-all but just another marker, savor the fact that you are now a full-grown man. I know this might sound counterintuitive, but babes, even young hot babes, prefer grown-up men to boys, even pretty boys, and if you have the slightest modicum of humor to throw in the mix, you'll be getting more action than you ever dreamed possible. Providing, of course, you don't trip over your cane on your way to the clubs! Don't get on the ship! Don't get on the ship! [ Edited by: Satan's Sin on 2005-05-23 18:15 ]
