Lilly73 - A Midlife Celebration

[Saxon_Hart]

Lily is gonna make me have a stroke!! Well actually it's more like Lily is making me stroke.

 

[Prince Albert]

Do you need a lifeguard for that tub ma'am???? Cuz I'd gladly volunteer to perform moth to whatever on you!!

 

[Mercury_Maniac]

.....

 

[RunningJib]

Wonderful

Just grab a drink and sit down.... I'll get this out of the way....


SELFIE...the end

I'll have a Jameson net

You are a beauty and your photography is top-drawer, Indeeed, you are a vision

 

[Porkwarrior]

And I love poker!! Let's go!

Idea for a new photo series! I bet you'd look great draped over a velvet table.



Okay my turn to ask you a question about female behaviour I have noticed. Okay, you started this th'd partly as a confidence booster turning Forty...and dear, I have enjoyed turning Forty this year so much I almost feel guilty (almost ). But most of my female friends that are single either are only being intimate with men they have known a long time, or simply taking matters into their own hands, and sitting around the house complaining about being alone.

Why is it so easy being a single man in their Forties, but women dating in their Forties is almost an alien concept?
Hell one lovely woman I picked up thought at first I was a joke setup by her (younger) friends.

It has made me curious in the last little while, as I toil through the Twentysomethings that either have Daddy issues or are looking for a SugarDaddy. Quality women in their Forties are almost a dating unicorn...which is yet another reason why you are such a treasure.

I have said to others that there is no way I could emagine what it's like to date now. I don't know if it's my age or how the world has seemed to change over the years.

Forty years old, recently divorced, has had a vasectomy...I had my doubts.

They were unfounded.
And I am a middle aged, fat, smokes too much, drinks too much, ugly chud.

 

[jugbandblues]

So beautiful, such artistry and photographic skill

Good question - but first I must clarify something. I started this thread because I was about to turn 40 and we all know what happens as we age - Time starts to move across the body and things start to fall to the floor and lines crawl all over the face - it happens to everyone. I wanted to capture my body at this phase in my life before it all falls to the ground. Because I am a nice person, I decided to share it with the world. If I didn't already have confidence, I wouldn't be here.

Now that we have that cleared up.... Everything I am about to say is based on "general" info and sterotypes. I realize it might be different for you...

People in their 20's are starting out looking for love. All the dreams and possibilities that come with love are new and exciting and you feel like you can tackle anything.

People in their 40's are usually just coming out of Divorce. They are not so stary-eyed about love and relationships. So they approach the entire dating process differently. We tend to have more of a criteria set in mind for those we choose to date. We also know ourselves better and what we want (and dont want)

Women in their 20's want to get married... They want a wedding. I can't tell you how many woman I have talked to that "dream about their wedding day", but they never really give any thought to the marriage they want.

Women in their 40's have been married - or in long term relationships. Most of us have children we are raising (now alone), and that in itself will put that much more pressure on any man who wants to be in our lives. We are picky.

Men in their 40's usually are not the full time parent. They have more free time, they are well established in their careers and have time and energy to date for "fun" or casually.

Me personally, I never had children (by choice) and I am a widow of only 2 years. So the whole dating thing is really a chore for me right now. I had a person who knew me better than anyone - so trying to date and start all over seems like work right now. And we all know how much I love work

Thanks KMD

 

[KalIsBack]

Yeah, yeah. Let's make out.

 

[EndlessNameless]

I know exactly what you mean. Thinking about dating and getting to know people kind of makes me want to vomit. Then again, I'm just a weird man.

Wait. We're perfect for each other. Problem solved. Be mine, L. (did my awesome persuasive powers work?)

 

[Lilly73]

Because sometimes words suck.... *tackels Kal*

Wait! I have criteria! You must:
Have a job
Be responsible with money
Know how to work a grill
Be a viking in the sack
Be a good driver
Know how to make your own decsions without me
Be able to communicate using words.

And none of that "2 out of 3" crap - you have to meet them all...

Like I said..

Aw, fuck it. Let's just make out. But me and Lilly, not me and you. That would be awkward.

life can be so many things, including unfair and what you make of it. judging by appearance, you are making something fantastic of it.

Wouldn't that pointy helmet be dangerous in bed?

 

[Slow Ride469]

That sounds like a send off - I'm not going anywhere! lol. But thank you for the sentiment. The future looks less scary every day

Careful there! You are close to loosing your Lurker status!

You know what they say about appearances!

You're an amazing woman, Lilly. The next man who's lucky enough to have you better know that!

I would only a pick a man who knew it.

Wouldn't that pointy helmet be dangerous in bed?

No man! They make good handlebars!

Beautiful pictures.

Thank you - welcome to the thread!

*sigh*

Lilly, you and your marketers are hell-bent on giving me a coronary. Product specs, gotta have this marketability factor, gotta look like this, gotta have this button, why doesn't it look like this, why doesn't it do this...



So I'm still at work at 6:30 in the evening.
