| What's wrong with looking, thinking, and acting your age?
Posted: 11/1/2006 2:00:02 AM | Hey nishama:
Nothing wrong at all, with wanting to look, think, and act our age, as we all mature from our younger years.
I guess tho, that some people cannot appreciate the wisdom, and life experiences that they have gained from ALL the years that they have LIVED.
Hey, I am 51, and ya, sure I have had my ups and downs in life, but that is part of living life.
Yet, the most important, is the ability of living life as long as we possibly can.
Does it bother me, that I am 51? Nope, not at all, not the least little bit, cuz I am happy that I have lived this long in life.
And what is just as equally important, is to continue living life, and all the great experiences that you can encounter.
So, nope, there is definately nothing wrong with looking, thinking, and acting our maturer age.
I say, EMBRACE it, and LOVE it, because, we have only but one life to live, so might as well live it as long as we can.
As the lyrics go in a particular song, "We Are Here For a Short Time, Not A Long Time, Might As Well Have Fun, Cuz The Sun Don't Shine Everyday". Something like that. | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 2:05:16 AM | You guys kill me! Some of you act like growing older, up, whatever you want to call it is a disease! I would not go back to my "younger" days if I could! I've made mistakes and learned from them, so now at 43, almost 44, I can enjoy life without making some of those same mistakes again. For some reason you equate growing up with not enjoying life, which is so wrong...when you grow up, you actually know how to enjoy life to the fullest, without doing some of the stupid things you did when you were younger. Hopefully, the concept of responsibility has kicked in, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun in life! Besides, look at the alternative to growing "older." How much fun will you have in death???
As far as admitting defeat is concerned, there is NO white flag in my hand..not now, and I'm not planning on having one any time in the near future! | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 5:48:57 AM | I look, act and think EXACTLY right for MY age....
but I might not look, act or think "right" for what OTHER PEOPLE think of 51
Personally, I don't give a rats azz about other people's opinions. I will continue being ME. | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 6:42:49 AM | ^^^^^^Tell 'em Fox! I agree and really could care less what anyone thinks, perhaps "they" need a life! I have seen it too often, where people are controlled by what "others" think of their life, while the others are stuck between rat race and human race on the treadmill of death! | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 8:26:26 AM | ^^^^^^^^ IS??..................I think you will find it on page 303 of the Users Guide to Life, a book not written by a man that I really admire as he suffers from a mild, yet advanced case of procrastination!
Let me tell you about the boat I'm never going to build! | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 1:16:07 PM | How about because they look around at all of their acquaintances and wonder who the middle-aged, balding, chubby guys are? They know they don't look like that. The rear-view mirror in their bathroom is still tuned to a decade earlier.
How about because our society is youth obsessed and they not only crave the youth of others but are fighting a rear-guard action against being thought of as having lost their own?
How about because they see the number of cougars online and want to convince those predators to consider them prey as well.
Cheers,
Mike (acting all my ages, including the one that skateboards) | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 2:37:47 PM | I can't quite figure out who reddwine is responding since the ladies above her are over 40. Strange.
I act my age as required. At work, you'd be stunned because its an odd thing for someone my age to be in the position that I am. And at home or when I'm out with friends, you'd wonder if I had Cocoa Puffs for breakfast or oatmeal (which, let me say, is just.. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew). Chances are, it was Cocoa Puffs... seriously, chocolate cereal for breakfast? Is there any other way to start the day?
So is there anything wrong with looking, acting or thinking like your age? heck no, just don't expect me to do it on a full time basis. Life is too short not to enjoy it. | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 2:39:16 PM | Apparently according to a previous poster, we're suppose to act near death if we're over 40! Guess what! It's not going to happen with me!!
Hey browneyedgagirl:
Good one, gal, cuz it is NOT going to happen with me, either, and I am more then happy to be 51.
Also, welcome to the B.C., Canada Forums, so glad that ya could join us, from all tha way down thar in Georgia. | |

Naaaaa, I don't think that their is a norm for who should act like what at what age.
But as for the manual, I think that is a personal thing that an individal creates for themselves from what they have learned from personal life experiences as they go through life.
Your still young, tho gal, however, give yourself some time, and I think you will find out for yourself as you go through your own personal experiences of life to.
However, it is an individual thing tho, and not everyones personal life experiences are the same, that is why we are ALL very unique in our own way.
Cuz, each and everyone is different from each other, and that is why we are all unique individuals. | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 3:57:02 PM | I hear ya WetCoastGal, I never saw my teens past age 17, so I've decided to live them now. I haven't had so much fun!!! Great events and super people at every one 
Eventhough there are times when I'm forced to act like a serious adult, I try not to do that too often
Have fun,
Be good,
and if you cant be good,
at least be careful | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 4:45:55 PM | WOW, is this ever an interesting debate topic, shoot, too bad we couldn't take this onto National Television.
Call it the shoot-out between the ages.
I just laughing my butt off.
However, ya, I miss my ealier years, but, I would NOT, turn back the arms of the clock, I LOVE being 51.
And to lighten up the topic a bit, ya youngins, well, when ya get to our ages of 40 or more, you to will also appreciate ALL the milestones that you have covered over all those years that you have lived.
However, ya youngins won't beable to realize that, until ya get to our ages, cuz ya have not yet lived all of life experiences that we have at 40 and over.
But your time is coming, and ya cannot stop it either, so enjoy the ride while ya can, for as long as ya can.
That is what I am going to continue to do and I am 51, and LOVING IT.
Hows them lyrics go, oh ya, "Ride Ride Ride, Hitchin A Ride"
YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 4:53:29 PM | Bah...when I feel like being serious, then I am serious...
I feel like being a kid, then I am a kid...
I like being a goofball at times...looney, nutball
It doesn't matter what age I am now or will be down the road, I will always be like that!
It's all about being me | |

Posted: 11/1/2006 5:21:27 PM | Since when did looks have anything to do with maturity or intellectual ability?
I'm sure if you met a man who had an average job but aspired to move up, you would find that attractive. Your not required to be attracted to a man who desires to stay fit and young. I wish I didn't have many of the health problems I do. I can't change it. But if I have a young healthy attitude about it and you don't appreciate it, you don't need to come along for the ride either. If I'm whining about my state of affairs, without taking responsibility to try and change them, then no rational person will want to come along. As F.L. Maytag once noted, his success came from "divine discontent", i.e. from wishing to be what he was not yet. Some aspire to youth, some to intelligence, some to wisdom, some to ad hominem arguments. Each to their own. | |

Well, thank you so much, suh! lol! I had to laugh as I read that and imagined your accent trying to sound southern! Wow! I didn't realize how southern we sound until I moved back from Texas! I'm catching myself losing my "Texas" accent for more of that "southern belle drawl." | |
