| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/7/2008 6:16:38 PM | | your mind never grows old only the body.. your as old as you let your self be in your mind. my advise is to not sweat the numbers game and just take it day by day and enjoy each one.. one at a time. you will be far better off. | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/8/2008 7:11:57 AM | My 30s were the most fun, my ex left when I was 29, divorced when I was 30, and I had so much fun for the next few years. Turning 40 was kind of rough on me but I'm still having alot of fun, feel great and meeting new people every day. Age isn't a big deal, new people and opportunities are always popping up. Have fun.
On a side note, read an advertisement on a website that dogged out PoF and advertised some other "free" sites. True and Match, the two they pimped the hardest, are free to join and put a profile on, but charge to respond or initiate talking to another person. PoF is still the best truly free dating website I have seen. This may not be the thread to post this but I just wanted to say it.
Have a nice day! | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/8/2008 12:39:15 PM | Yep, life starts at 40.
Think of all the things that happened to you in your: teens, twenties, and thirties and say if you would let those situations come at you again unprepaired. Not likely.
Just hang in there and learn. | |

I don't completely agree with this. When a young woman dates a much older man, it is often due to his money, fame, or power. Not his looks. Also there are plenty of women in their late 30s, 40s, and even 50s that are still reasonably attractive. If an "older woman" is reasonably attractive, then she will get plenty of attention from younger men. Maybe many "older women" aren't quite as good looking now as they were in their 20s. But they are far from being unattractive. | |

I agree. A woman in her 30s or 40s isn't necessary over the hill. A woman can remain reasonably attractive into her 40s or 50s in some cases with a good diet, exercise, and good fashion sense. Wardrobe, makeup, hairstyle, other skin and beauty products etc. | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/13/2008 12:15:49 PM | I will be 40 on Sunday. Instead of going over the hill, I decided to sneak around it.
Formula for calculating one's age after 30, based on sex: Men = (current age - 30) * 0.568 + 30= True Age Women = (current age - 30) * 1.451 + 30= True Age
This is what I am stick with. Well this formula and my right hand. | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/14/2008 6:44:46 AM | I believe that relationships can be more satisfying as we age, not less so, because we have a broader knowledge base to work from, and because maturity includes caring more about pleasing our partners. At 45, I am starting to date again and hoping that one of those dates becomes the best relationship of my life so far. | |

sometimes I feel like my 20's was my prime, but maybe its not. Yeah I thought so too, and then I hit my 30s and things got WAY WAY better - the energy of a 20 year old with the maturity and intelligence to really enjoy it! My 30s were awesome!
BUT - my 40s are gonna trump my 30s, I can feel it... | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/14/2008 5:06:23 PM | | I love it. My kids are old and getting out. I have more money to call my own. I am smarter and wiser from my mistakes. I like the view from the top. | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/14/2008 6:04:33 PM | Nahhhh, we are not over the hill; instead we have battle our way up the rather steep hill of life and now built a nice house on the top of the hill where we will live for the next ten years enjoying the great view. Once you get into you 40s then you start going downhill so make the most of the next twn years - they really should be the best of your life; certainly are so far in mine as I now have everything in place to enjoy myself - wahooooo!!  | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/14/2008 7:54:02 PM | I think we are at the very best location at the hill, where you can have the most incredible view of life... you can see how hard it took to get you there!
You think about what you made wrong, what can you change and how do you want to live you life...
We´ll wait for the 40´s :) t he best is still to come!! | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/14/2008 8:43:50 PM | Theres no hill that I havent been to the top of...besides...the view is so great from up there.
Im looking forwards to turning 40 and seeing myself...I will still be wearing a smile and living life | |

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/15/2008 1:09:10 AM | Wow, over the hill at 30!!!!
Hey in Italy, not so long ago a woman had a child at 70... and Charlie Chaplin fathered a child at that age. Peter Stringfellow is still going strong in his playboy mansion....
At 30, you are in your prime as Miss Jean Brodie so aptly put it.... you are entering the best decade of your life and it can only get better, like a good wine.....
Age is a number, get out there and live your life - so spake the old fogey in the group!!!

| Are we getting over the hill ? Posted: 5/19/2008 7:09:50 PM | Seriously?!
No. Hell no. I can't speak for anyone else but I am much better off in my 30's than I was in my 20's. I'm definitely healthier and happier, plus I'm comfortable with who I am at this point.
I think you're over the hill when you allow yourself to be.... | |
