When you are over 40 and walk down the beach in a Speedo, the 18-30 year old women aren't admiring you, they are laughing...


Further, when you pass through the checkout line and the girl calls you "Sir", well... it's all over.
When I turned 60, there was a remarkable turnaround.

What do you mean how to tell if i'm hot?
I just stand in the mirror and say it : " you're hot!"

then reply with "Yeah I know"

I concur, a couple of people who are hyper successful in their chosen field and won the genetic lottery.

I've seen Verlander pitch, and it's almost unreal how he's nearly unhittable when he's on his game.

Where is Daep and Byron? I'm sure they have spent many hours in front of the mirror. I'm sure they have plenty of pictures of themselves in the mirror too. I'm sure you could find a thousand or two in the site..LOL

Speaking of age, women can still be hot after 40, called cougars correct. I think it is really about effort with a women, as long as she's trying she can be hot.

For a guy to be hot at a later stage in life, it's more important to have money than to be good looking. I really don't think most women care as long as a guy has money. Trumps personality and looks.

Never been hot, it must be fun though.

Oh, I've been out with Shaun. He's quite the lady's man believe it or not. I'm afraid to take him around my wife, mother or sister.

Cougars is the term for older ones hitting on younger prey.
they may or may not be hot.. some are just downright scary and pounce on their victim when his guard is down (drunk)

I agree to a certain extent. Although some seemingly "mature" women still fall for looks.
Those are the ones who continue to make selection errors.
.
My experience tells me that women, in general, are looking for ESP.
-Entertainment
-Security
-Passion
.
And for some, being with a man with money can stir their passion...even if he's not a looker.

Dude! You've now gone from "hot" to just "OK" in less than 1 page. You're deteriorating fast!

You married well! And I don't think she could have done better.

I didn't want Dennis to feel bad.

RE: deteriorating, at 50, starting to ride again has been huge. Feel so much better, look better, carry myself better. The other day I was talking with some AC installers and the "old" guy who is 40 thought I was younger than him. Could just be how I act though. That an never eating packaged or processed food.
