And I thought I was the only one who thought like thatI agree, the older I get the more I don’t care what people think. I’m very secure in who I am and quite frankly, don’t give a fuck about other’s opinions. I’m also more set in mine and will argue the fact.
I also have a lot less patience for stupidity and stupid people!!
And in many ways I like sex more than when I was younger, feel hornier!
I'm a whole new person sexually, TBH. I no longer feel the need to attach emotions to sex.
I looked down the list of forums and didn't see it. How do you get there?BTW… we have a 50+ room that is very active.
I'm 80 and I've felt for a long time that each decade gets better and better.Will turn 50 this year The last decade has been better than any before.
I am a Baby Boomer who spent 30 years working in software development with people who could have been my children and grandchildren. I was a mentor and teacher to many and I don't recall any of them dismissing me. I don't like the Baby Boomers because I think they are selfish but I like the Millennials and Gen Z.I'm surprised that as I've turned 60 I'm in better shape physically and mentally than my parents (and especially my grandparents) when they turned 60. I can still pretty much do the same things --- jog long distances, eat and drink as much as I want, stay up late --- as I used to. I'm not as mobile or quick as I once was, but I don't need to be. I haven't really slipped into what I used to perceive was old age thinking. Maybe a good part of it comes from something an older friend once told me, "I still see with the same eyes I had as a teenager." It kind of puts things into perspective.
That being said, I am a little troubled by the different way some younger age groups view those of us in the post 50's phase. I don't want to overgeneralize, but I've found that a number of Millennials are dismissive of the my generation, particularly in the work environment. It's a very different dynamic to what I believed when my parents' and grandparents' generation approached retirement. I remember respecting their status because of the wisdom they gained from work and life experience. Sure, I felt they were a little slow, but I still sought out their ideas as good lessons for future decisions. Now, however, it seems up and coming decision makers want to wipe the slate clean and be done with the the old paradigm. Hey, I believe change is good, but I also feel we can build on the strengths of what our seasoned colleagues can offer us. And trust me, I don't ever want to become a curmudgeon. I think of myself as a glass half full kind of person.
Am I overthinking this? I welcome other thoughts and/or critiques.
