It can save the ego from serious, though often unintentional, bruising.Between you and gnees, I'm not feeling a tremendous amount of incentive to go out bar-hopping.
I think I'll just stay home.
I had a stripper call me, "Sir" after giving me a lap dance. That's when it hit me I was getting old.Everything went fine. Older people telling war stories. The worst thing that happened, was a 45 year old woman called me a old man when I was talking to her.
Went back to my table and shed a tear in my beer.
Self-delusions aren't so bad, and they're safe and sound if properly protected.
I find my self delusions to be best left unshared for fear of of cracking them as crystal.

Well, earlier today I got to "ok boomer" my husband because he couldn't figure out how to clear a notification off his phone...
I'm single these days and work in an office of about 100. The age doesn't both me so much as knowing that they are really just looking for their Daddy that they have on a pedestal. Some call them millennials, I just call them young college girls.
(sigh)

It's nice to know men have insecurities TOO. OMG.
This happened a while ago and has not since. I don't know what it means, but like this old lady (to be fair, I was wearing an empire style top) asked me when I was "due." I was like, "Are you talkiing to me? I am not pregnant." She hurried away.
BUT OMG on the treatment bus one time, I used to go there one morning a month and I WAS wearing an old top, like, it was stretched out a bit cuz it was old and I was fatter. THIS NURSE I was on the BUS with like, was like, "When are you due?" I was like, "Um, I am NOT PREGNANT." She was like, "But, are you SURE?" and then came OVER and RESTED HER HAND ON MY STOMACH as if she would feel an alien inside or something!!!!!!!!
I explained the best and only time to ask a woman that was if she was on the ground CROWNING and MAYBE it was okay to ask, along with "and would you like some assistance?"
It was super uncomfortable the rest of the morning. I tried to console me that maybe I looked, at least, young enough to BE pregnanant.
BUT WHO DOES THAT?
It has not happened of late. I probably look too OLD to be pregnant.
Oooh gotta show the husband the borderline sort of uh, BM waist corset things I got. They're pretty fantastic I need to find out if they are work appropriate or not.
We all know I am capable of assembling an outfit "creative and full of win" but also "That chick is completely insane."
It's nice to have the husband around he hates it but he will say if I look wack. LOL>
Happy birthday, my elder soul (I'm 45 too... ) heh.

I think you should go with it dude. I would. Once the novelty wears off, you can go single, etc. LOL. Besides, May to December can work. LOL.
Anna
Oops is it your birthday? Have a happy one then! (Seems to be an awful lot of December birthdays around)
Yeah, it only took ONE TIME to be wrong when I asked a girl when she was due to NEVER, EVER do that again...
Not with my disabilities and so close to retirement. But, when I get to the convalescent center...
I'm SO tempted to have a shirt or hat made up. I embrace the OK, boomer" concept, and wear it like a badge of honor.
I wondered too. IS it your birthday???
Same here man, just once.
I hear those places are FULL of STD's.
... Or so you've heard
Nope, I was just another 45 year old woman, callling you old. LOL. Sorry to give the wrong impression.
We go grey early in my family and I TOTALLY thought I would embrace it, but now that I am, it is a TOTAL PITA. For one, it turns into like WIRE and yeah it's PRETTY but you have to, well I CHOOSE to tame it with AFRICAN AMERICAN beauty products, because that is pretty much what you NEEED.
I am totally considring Henna, I was born with tufts of reddish hair (I was the ugliest baby in the nursery, so much so, when the nurse held me up to admire, the other parents laughed. My mom told me my dad was embarrassed, but she loved me ugly and all right from the start.. I was like, "Um, mom,like I think LOVE would be to never tell me that story, but she DOES, along with how she thought I was ......ed because I was a calm and peaceful baby who like, just enjoyed checking stuff OUT. The pediatrician had to like, SCOLD her, because she took me in for a freaking... ...... ASSESSSMENT. Jesus.) anyway it fell out and went black, then was like white blonde that went to dishwater brown slowly over time. I have spent most of my life as a redhead and I'm thinking the henna might tame the evil. I am SERIOUSLY considering it man.) In any case, it suits my coloring.
But yes, people look at you different dude. It's like... a thing. I thought I would be out, grey and proud, but it's not like, say, the freaking GREY hair won't BE there in 10 years when it would be more appropriate for me to be grey,.
It just SUCKS. As does the product I use called "edge wax" and I'm not really sure what it IS maybe some petrolium product.
That's it, I have an amazon gift certificate from my sister, LOL she emailed thanking me for HERS, but it's AMAAZON so henna it shall be. Plus other stuff. IDK.

Well I started graying as a teenager. I'm thankful I got the white gray from my dad instead of the dingy gray from my mom's side. I used to color it. Ten years ago I was at a salon getting it done and the lady told me I would just have to embrace my age, I yelled at her, "But I'm only 34!!!", then she's like, "Oh, yeah, honey let's get that covered up!"
One day my pastor's wife told me how lucky I was, that I didn't have to pay a fortune to have it frosted. Um, thanks, I think. I couldn't really be mad at her though because hers was just starting to grow back after chemo.
Good lord, when did we all get to be a bunch of old farts?

I always had 1 grey hair in the center of my crown since birth (and so do my 2 daughters, now 12 and 14). Then they came in groups of 10 everytime my wife yelled at me.
You might call my full head of hair salt and pepper. I call it Arctic Blonde 
I have some grey in my beard, but none on top. (58 years old) My oldest brother is around 10 1/2 years older then me, and it is the same for him still. Just goes to show how different we all are.

I always scorned the other 45 year old women who were like "Oh, I could NOT stop coloring my hair at THIS age." I always thought it would be fine.
It is not fine. Furthermore, it will boost my self esteem. I am buying it NOW dude, hopefully it gets here by New year's day (maybe) and I can color it THEN.
Haha.

I shaved mine off in my early 30s, but the scruff on my face tells me there's some salt-n-pepa goin' on these days.
