Getting Old Sucks!
Well it does! However hard you diet and exercise, things spread, droop and wrinkle! The entire world (apart from me!) is made up of skinny, taught skinned 20 year olds! Not helped by 2 of the guys I manage talking about someone who's due to start with us next week saying "she can't be fit, she's at least 35!" (I'm almost 39 btw....)
I can no longer party all night and make it into work the next day or (in extreme cases) the day after that! I can also no longer eat an entire M&S chocolate log for lunch without gaining an ounce!
Perhaps the worst part is I agree with almost everything the Grumpy Old Men say and I'm a woman!
Is there any hope...?

I'd bet you're wayyyyy better in the bedroom than most skanky, bag of bones 20 something annorexics that are flavour of the month with blokes who are generally immature, inexperienced, and, correspondingly, seem to frequent the internet more than real life.
You are also likely to be much more interesting, a better conversationalist and more than a one trick pony.
REAL men know what matters, and being 39 doesn't

Getting older may suck...but it beats the **** out of the alternative
Plus real men find slightly older but still well preserved women very attractive for all the reasons Daiblo says. Certainly I'm very happy with mine...

any man worth his salt will tell you that a woman in her 30's or even 40's in some cases are way more attractive than some dopey immature 'girl'....

I haven't let myself go - still the right height/ weight etc. Things just arent quite as 'taught' as they used to be 
Could never bring myself to have plastic surgery or anything
Nothing against it per se - just not for me!
Diablo - thank you! (Though I'd better check with IM if it's true!)
The wierd thing is that inside my head I stopped aging at about 18! (Some would suggest much younger!). That's the mean part - the body lagging waaaayyy behind the mind! Maybe I'll be happier once the Alzheimers sets in......

Getting Old sucks i agree - but i was speaking to a guy about this only a few weeks ago. he is 76 and as fit as a fiddle. he told me to stop moaning, in fact he said at my age 31 - my best years are in front of me.
It did actually make me feel better

It can only get worse matey. I'm 59 years young and will be 60 in September but i do look on the bright side. When i reach 60 i will get a free bus pass, free prescriptions and a £200.00 heating allowance. Geoff.
