I just turned 45 and I'm happily married. I have ZERO desire to seek anyone out, but isn't it nice to be noticed? Isn't it nice to have some validation from other people?

I don't think I'm at your level of seeking it out or feeling too "down" about it, but yea, I totally get that "slap" in the face when you realize that while you may FEEL 21, you don't LOOK/ACT 21. It's a weird rite of passage for aging, I guess.

I'm glad you don't want to cheat on your wife...keep that going...stay healthy...I'm curious...do you think your wife is hot?
Yeah, my wife is definitely hot. She keeps herself in great shape. In fact she's been a fulltime Pilates instructor for over 10 years. She's into aerobics, and light weightlifting. And she does tell me how good looking she thinks I am - she's not letting me down in that regard.

But she gets hit on every day. She complains about it, but I can tell she's happy she's still "got it".

By his description, it sounds like she's already doing a great job. She doesn't need to see how much he's "worth on the market". She already appreciates what she has.

Awesome...it sounds like you're well matched (physically, at least! )

And yeah, I don't exactly have that "problem" of being hit on but I know she must like the attention to some degree. That's just it: we all have to come to terms with aging in our own way. A little attention from the opposite sex is nice...

To me it seems subjective from people who tell me how old they think I am. I have been told by some women they thought I was in my early to mid thirties. The one married woman who hit on me at the bar I spoke of in the swingers thread said I looked around 40 to her, she is in her low 50's.

One thing is for sure if I didn't dye my hair and didn't shave my face I'd look a lot older. My opinion is I'd be more concerned with being attractive to women in general than trying to be attractive to women half my age.

You must be the lovely Ruth standing for truth. Have we met before? I used to be a former inmate of this lunatic asylum.

I found that the people who had medical issues later in life seemed to be those that were "on" for years, sometimes decades without stopping and who led otherwise fairly unhealthy lifestyles. Weighing 270 lbs all the time isn't good for the heart even if most of that is muscle.

An enlarged heart and a pencil penis.

Not things men in their 50s need.

I stayed up way past my bedtime because of this thread. I'm in a different time zone (I live in Europe). Please keep posting. I'll answer any questions in 8 hours.

You guys are great. Really. I love your answers and you guys didn't rush to insult me or beat me up too badly. I needed that rant, and I needed to hear the responses.

I don't know why it is but often musicians seem to hold their age better than actors.

Michael Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now, in a alternate universe at 67 if Michael Douglas was a public school teacher or a shoe salesman would he be reeling in a Cathy Zeta Jones who at 42 looks like she does (hot)?

Shes still pretty but does look her age or older in my opinion. She has the thinning skin look that goes with the hollywood 'thin' diet, beside it always seems like you age quicker when you marry an older person. Look at Heffs exes, they all look 10 or 15 years older then they are. He must suck the life out of them

Back to the topic. It did sound like the OP was looking for an affair, but he cleared that up. He is looking for affirmation that he is still desirable.
