Oh, this has to be one of your best pictures yet Lily...! You look absolutely divine...
 
I've been mulling this over in my head the last couple of days, it must be the time of year for introspective reflections.

Have a survivable trip...ugh air travel...I'd rather drive 500 miles than fly!

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.

It came out wrong in my hamfisted phone typing. I would never dare suggest you ever had anything but supreme confidence in yourself.

Anyone that thinks otherwise, obviously, is a fool and not worth correcting. :D

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 :rolleyes:

First off my generalities are coming as a 40yr-old man that is exactly where I never thought I would be when I was in my 20's. I never wanted kids, never even thought I would be married, lived for most of my 20's bouncing around continents without even a fixed address for a lot of the time. Bouncing between Canada, Yugoslavia, the Caribbean, Texas...shuddering at the thought of University and living the next 30yrs in the "straight world". I was a traveller of the world, haa haa all you sad working stiffs fighting the morning commute to crawl up whatever ladder you found yourselves on!

Well the joke was on me in my 30's, I "grew up", married, good career, bought a perfect house, dogs...the whole catastrophe. :D
So now I am in my 40's, divorced, no house (but no support payments either!), and absolutely terrified of the dating thang as well.
Now I draw a line between casual dates and "dating". The idea of traditional dating in a long term monogamous situation, same person, same day every week, starting the process of finding the next "One"...ugh, that scares me. I am nowhere near ready for that. It's as if there is a wall that I have put up on my head that can not even allow for the contemplation of that outcome.

BUT...casual dating. Meeting new people with new interests, just going out for dinner & dancing, or just hanging around the kitchen making dinner & laughing. That's something that I am enjoying very much. But I always know I am going to leave. But dates with the opposite sex is something that is keeping me atleast somewhat sane.
And I've noticed that even though their kids are old enough to take care of themselves if not out of the house completely, getting over that first hurdle and just getting out there for some light companionship is something that 40yr+ women have a hard time with.

Gawd I am starting to ramble now...remember when this th'd was about your banging bod? ;)

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...

Haa haa Vikings are so overrated!
Ever been mauled by a Grizzly bear in the sack? ;)

If I hadn't rambled on for so long already I'd write up a reciprocal list for the fairer gender! :D


I seriously love when you post things like this. Completely non-sexual, just your personal thoughts and opinions. I like knowing more about you! You're such a cool chick. You should do a Q&A or something! :)


Shhhh the trick is not to be too obvious when teasing out the personality of someone you are drawn to.

Part of the bag of tricks that a crafty Wingman uses. :D

:devil:

Somehow the phrase "one persons trash is another's treasure" just seems so...inadequate.
I knew you would look smoking hot lying naked on the floor, but the cutting room floor?...I think these are some of my favourite's so far.


Safe travels.

:rose:
 
Sweet sexy Lilly, mmmmm always love catching up here and drooling over your pictures…..the ones you did not wanted to post, well, LOVE THEM…..
Have a great week-end in sunny CA.

a Lilly-less Lit is a lot less interesting.

Wow, it takes a while catching up with this thread and I'm sure it was only just before Christmas that I posted here. Just a few words to let you know how much I enjoy your photographs.

I too was interested to know about the background in your photos and had imagined that you might have set aside a room to use as a studio. Your photos always have such a professional look about them.

My own home is so cluttered that I am forever deleting and replacing backgrounds in photographs I have taken at home.
