Yeah I know, I know .. I place importance on some of the wrong things. I get it. It's all ego and vanity. At least she has nothing to worry about. I wasn't planning on doiing anything with anyone. I just wanted to know that I could if I wanted to. Does anyone else understand this?

Yes, its called low self esteem when you seek personal validation from the opposite sex's interest in you.

I do admit there's probably some truth to that, yes.

I luckily have more hair than any of the younger guys, and I take anabolic steroids regularly to stay lean and muscular through my workouts. I'm 6'1" and muscular. I was great looking when I was in my 20's and 30's. Women used to show me blatant interest back then. Unfortunately, I think I developed too much of a need for female validation in the process.

Despite all that, I had real low chances with the women this time. Why? Because I'm over 40 now, which is a plague for younger women. No matter how great looking I was in my 20's and 30's.

I'm already married, but I was trying to see what would happen "if". My conclusion .. over 40 = sexual oblivion. The realization was quite depressing. I need to come to terms with this before another ten years go by.
This is why older American guys put up with so much abuse from their wives because they know they don't have the same dating options as American women if they were to be single over 40.

Now, if you lived overseas, even as close as Mexico, you would have plenty of options.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel validated by the opposite sex. And with that said, I wonder how well of a job your wife does in making you feel that you're the man.

He's not the man. He's a boy acting out fantasies of being a pick-up king and destroying his body and brain with anabolic steroids in the process.
