Getting older :)
Jump to: Newest in thread
I see posts from men asking if they are over the hill at a certain age cause they are blocked etc.
I am a woman of a certain age...over 55. I really don't like it. I don't dwell on it but I hate the changes to my body, the wrinkles, the bloody menopause!
I am not even bothered If age gets me blocked.
Does getting older bother you?
Have you lost confidence because of it?
Are you conscious of your aging?
It never bothered me in my 40's but that is exactly old is it?

Ah, sweetie. I hear you! I'll be 55 next month & I hate the effects menopause has had on my skin - wrinkles, lack of tone, saggy jowls! The only good thing is that my libido is through the roof 
I've seen you in the flesh, though, and you look bloody stunning & still turn heads so don't despair  x |

Unless anyone finds the fountain of youth, discovers an anti-ageing serum, or stumbles across a time machine, we’re all going to age so might as well embrace it and grow old gracefully (or maybe even disgracefully )

Have you tried HRT yet? I think that helped with feeling down - not so much with the hot flushes. But it's more fun to have hot flushes through hot sex than anything else  xx

No one likes getting old but it's better than the alternative.
As ever, life is what you make it and age is just another factor that has to be added.
It will only matter if you think it matters.
Get old and carry on regardless. Make every second count and enjoy every single moment  |

Yes...I'm on HRT have been for ages... didn't help with libido though. It definitely did with my emotions.
That reminds me went to fill a repeat prescription and the chemiar was out of stock. They didn't seem to know when they'd be back.
Be careful not to let yours run out
We may be on different HRT but still keep your eye on it xx |

OP I’m a decade behind you and I find aging very upsetting. The old adage that youth is wasted on the young is so true! I wish I had let my hair down in my 20’s and not denied myself every pleasure I should have done just to please my parents. If only I could turn the clock back! But I can’t!
However, from where I’m standing, a cursory glance through your photos and seriously, you don’t look anything like 55! You’re a stunner and look easily 20 years younger! I assure you I for one will most definitely not be blocking you! Whatever you’re doing, keep doing - it works!

I don’t mind aging so much as I am just popping in some surgeries to slow it down etc.
Try eat well stay fit / look after your skin and have a good mental attitude to life you will age ok imo  . Plus if people have the means then absolutely smash in some tweaks from a good surgeon or odd fillers to replump aging areas  |

I'm 62 and what bothers me is that time is running out to do the things I want to do. I want to travel far more and ride my bike more. However I know that in ten years time I spent have the energy to travel as widely and certainly won't have much energy for a bike ride. That ten years will pass very quickly. I can only hope my sex drive diminishes as well! |

There are a few things that bother me about being older, all of them though are trivial in the grand scheme of people’s problems.
I try to be positive generally and body wise I’m probably in the best shape I’ve ever been in. Not consciously because of my age though, just because it’s good for me.

Though equally just get a nice older chap that wants to pamper you |

"In general I'm not bothered by being old but there are aspects I don't like.
Its the 'aspects' I don't like "
 . I don't know what to tell you. I get thoroughly pissed off with people adding 'still' and 'for your age' to sentences when they're talking to me. I'm tired of the beauty industry making age out to be a bad thing 'age defying' 'anti aging' 'fight the seven signs of aging'. I feel cross when they refer to an older woman as having 'lost her looks'. Take HRT so you're still sexy.
All of that and more adds up to make women regret their age instead of celebrating their wisdom, experience, beauty and knowledge. It also perpetuates the myth that our only value exists in being attractive to men.
Now before someone tells me to "calm down dear" I'll breathe and apply another layer of miracle cream

I'm not old but I feel physically about 95. The prospect of being like this or worse for another 50 years or more frankly fills me with dread. I'm fit enough for now to push my arse around by wheelchair but what happens when I lose that? What then? These are the thoughts I have a suppress because otherwise I lose the plot. |

On here my age has never been an issue so it doesn't bother me.
I'm happy to take pics and never think of lying about my age because I'm proud of how I look.
It has been a shitty year so far healthwise and although that's not age related I'd just like to get back to where I was this time last year. |

I try to accept myself as I am, I'm aging it's obvious I don't 100% accept it mostly because from the cradle I've been told it's bad and should be concealed if possible with longer sleeves, higher necks, concealer etc.
I saw a woman yesterday in her late 70s in fairly short shorts and a tee shirt, she looked bloomin fantastic, if I'd been closer to her I'd have told her.
The thing is we have to accept ourselves I think. I'm still going to dye my hair though

I can relate to this!! I did a lot to please my parents!! I was so compliant throughout my teens and until I reach late 30’s.
I hate the effects of ageing though, the only solace is that the people that matter the most are all at similar stages of life. We’re all going through the same things and can wallow in it or laugh about it!
Although at 55, OP, you’re looking fabulous!!! |

Growing old is a privilege that many don't attain . Live life to the full and embrace each wrinkle.. it shows you have lived. Then go out and live some more . 62 and growing old disgracefully |

The years keep rolling up and I am now into my 82nd year.
My mind is quite active and tells me I can do various things,
Sadly however my consultant tells me to ignore what the mind says and to listen to my body, which at the present time is almost on the verge of giving up on me.
Retirement home beckons?  |

With all the sexy images here, with the possibility of actual interaction with those gorgeous bodies grabbing our attention (you included OP), it has to be disheartening to realise that even though they're right there, they are still out of reach.
Whatever may be holding us back, though I imagine age being the most difficult to accept, as it suddenly changes in an instant.

I am feeling lonely these days. Looking round and everyone I know has their someone (even the ones I wouldn’t touch with someone else’s barge pole have someone). I struggle to get a meet on here with someone that I’d actually want to do anything with.
Wasted time on people not worth the effort, and now I feel age is against me….  |

"The years keep rolling up and I am now into my 82nd year.
My mind is quite active and tells me I can do various things,
Sadly however my consultant tells me to ignore what the mind says and to listen to my body, which at the present time is almost on the verge of giving up on me.

you're very vital and interested in everything "
Thank you,
Someone once told me, do not tell anyone you are retired and don't tell them you have an estate car and you will have a quite life. Trouble with me is that when anyone wants a favour I cannot say no.
If I were horse I wouuld have been put down years ago. |

Don't like it at all but...it's a lot better than the alternative!
I also think we're lucky to live at a time when us 'older' folk can still go out and get up to all sorts of shenanigans with more social acceptance than in the past. I see people in their 60s, 70s and beyond being incredibly active and adventurous, so bring it on. |

"I see posts from men asking if they are over the hill at a certain age cause they are blocked etc.
I am a woman of a certain age...over 55. I really don't like it. I don't dwell on it but I hate the changes to my body, the wrinkles, the bloody menopause!
I am not even bothered If age gets me blocked.
Does getting older bother you?
Have you lost confidence because of it?
Are you conscious of your aging?
It never bothered me in my 40's but that is exactly old is it?

I'm 63.... having fun with a 69 yr old |

"I am feeling lonely these days. Looking round and everyone I know has their someone (even the ones I wouldn’t touch with someone else’s barge pole have someone). I struggle to get a meet on here with someone that I’d actually want to do anything with.
Wasted time on people not worth the effort, and now I feel age is against me…. "
I'm so sorry to read this, I hope your happy is just around the next corner. |

Bloody hate it. In my mind I'm still 30 & in my prime but the body is slowing down and I'm having to work hard to keep my weight down and exercise harder. 58 this year. And everyone thinks your past it. Experience counts for nothing |

At 60, having lost a couple of kilos compared to my profile picture and trimmed my chest jungle a bit I have started modelling for life drawing classes. Does wonders for confidence and the comments are only ever good. None of the artists are going to tell you that you look terrible! |

Yep fucking hate it. Have spent most of my life as a fat cunt, wonder how things might have been different if I’d been on the odd diet. Drifted through life, wish I had had more ambition. Feel like I have let opportunities slip through my fingers, invested money instead of pissing it up a wall, a life of coulda-woulda-shoulda, discovered everything too late |

Yes, I'm conscious of my aging. I'm 43 and remember when that number felt an absolute lifetime away. But it arrived before I knew it!
On glass half empty days I notice every grey hair and wrinkle and can feel very much middle-aged, and even quite scared by how quickly time passes (sorry if that's a bit heavy!). But on better days I'm grateful I'm still healthy and can still do everything I want to do, and know I've still got a lot of living to do! |

If it helps, you certainly do NOT look middle aged and any grey hairs are not visible to the casual observer. |

I don't think I'll worry about getting older in terms of hair going grey, or wrinkles to my skin but what does worry me is ensuring I'm doing things right now to ensure my everyday health is good when I'm older and not needing a cocktail of meds to get me through the day. |

D’ya know, I’m loving getting older. I give fewer fucks about the trivial things that used to make me rage. I’m getting more n more mellow as time passes.
I’m not bothered by age filters excluding me.
The only minor gripe is physical…..I still act like my body is 20 years younger, and the reality is humbling sometimes. |

I agree with this. You look way younger than you are dude, and like you say, having your health is really the most important thing  |

Keeping fit in your 20s and 30s is a fantastic investment in your future. |

This is true, and for sure luck plays it's part. But I do know how much harder it is getting fit when older so can never start too soon. |

I think it is. Although I'm mostly focusing on weight training, I still do quite a bit of cardio and considering taking up yoga to improve my joint mobility |

Being pretty fit before the issues started has been helpful, I had the upper body strength to compensate. |

Getting old doesnt bother me, and meeting older women is usually better than younger ones, but I turned 41 last year, and suddenly was not able to contact a lot of people. Seems loads of people think 40 is the start of being old. |

Meh, it's happening, whether I like it or not. Had to bin the dye 4 years ago at 36 due to allergies and I'm grey grey grey! Working outside year round is taking it's toll on my skin too.
OP, you look great. I saw you at UtB and thought you looked amazing. |

I'm in my 50's now and promised myself I would grow old gracefully but be myself, I've just ventured back from a large coppice near me with a night vision monocular and an EMF meter hunting cryptids and ghosts?? Grow old? Never.. Lol |

It doesn't bother me...and there's nothing I can do about it even if it did. Sure I have wrinkles, grey hairs, and gravity has definitely taken hold of my boobs. Meh! I also have the wisdom of age and a quiet confidence instead of the arrogance of youth.
I wouldn't want to be young these days anyway, all the societal/peer/media pressure to be "Instagram perfect". Sod that for a laugh, I'm bloody glad all the stupid things I did when I was young weren't captured on film |
