And now for something completely different… edumacate me on menopause!
 

Title says it all...

I'm in my 50's... most of the women I hang out with are in there 50's and late 40's.

Shall I prepare for a celibate monk lifestyle?

prepare to freeze..
her..it's hot in here..
you look at the gauge..temp is about 10 below..

oh, your head will fell 'loose' that's because it will get ripped off frequently..

They aren't hot flashes, they are power surges. Just get used to non-stop PMS...

When my mother went through "the change", she divorced my father, bought a horse, and ran off with a guy fresh out of prison within a six month span.

It makes them f***ing crazy.

If you have a choice, you better hang out with 30 year olds.

(50 / 2) + 7 = 32

You can date 32-year olds and not seem creepy.

Male menopause can be pretty funny.

My father started wearing white suits, driving sports cars and hanging out in discos.

i work with a few. not pleasant. summer time the air conditioning will be on like 60 and all i hear when im trying to work is "its so fricken hot, so fricken hot ...." meanwhile, my sperm is frozen solid and they could give a crap

avoid !

When my Mom went through the change, my Dad would have bought her the horse and driven her to the prison.


Lasted about a year...emotionally it was like the shore break in Coronado.

Now that's funny. Scott, you're well on your way to any great relationship that you may want because at least you're asking and trying to understand. Drugs can help.

(take that anyway you please) :D

Drugs... for me or her? :D:p:D:p

Many of them already are and the big "M" will cause you to join them :(.

My MIL just got goofy.

Goofy isn't so bad.

Just search for it in OT. You will find a thread full of horror. I'd go with the 32 year olds if I were you.:D

a good friend of mine calls it "her personal summer".

my mom skated through it. part of life. deal.

Wife #2 went through, no real problems except for the tingly bits we'ren't as tingly and the wet wasn't as wet. HRT (hormone replacement therapy) fixed her up, good as new.

Wife #3 went through, no real problems except for the wet wasn't as wet. Lubricant fixed her up, good as new.

Wife #4? I'll tell you when I get wife #4.... :p

Keep a fan and some KY handy and you'll be good to go. Compliments go further - a good "O" can reduce the power surges. That's a good selling point.

Oh, and if you live long enough, this is what you have to look forward too!

'Villages' Retirement Home is Widower's Sex Paradise

Monday, January 26, 2009 | FoxNews.com

Lady LAKE, Fla. — It's 11 p.m. at the Bourbon Street Bar, and Roselyn's gyrating her hips to the blues band, Sue's sipping a cocktail and flirting with her new boyfriend, and Alan is scanning the crowd for cute girls.

"See those two?" a buxom blonde asks, pointing to an elegant couple at the bar. "They were caught having sex in their golf cart a few weeks ago. It happens a lot!"

Welcome to ground zero for geriatrics who are seriously getting it on.

It's a Thursday night at one of a half-dozen hot spots at the 20,000-acre Central Florida complex called The Villages, the largest gated retirement community in America — and one of the most popular destinations for New Yorkers in their golden years — where the female-to-male ratio runs 10 to 1.

It's a widower's paradise, and the word on the street is that there's a big black market for Viagra.

Though The Villages — which spans three counties with 40,000 homes and more than 70,000 residents — boasts 34 golf courses, nine country clubs, two downtown squares and a slew of restaurants and bars, getting lucky is one of the residents' primary pastimes.
