Getting old"er"

Post by **Wabbit** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 8:53 pm

What is it with getting older that flips some people out so bad?

There's a 33 year old woman here that totally flipped out after the birth of her third child. She now wears mini-skirts, skin tight shirts and 4 inch heels to work everyday. She also bleached her hair blond. She looks like a fucking idiot. She lost weight but she still has the stretched out "baby belly" roll that looks even worse in a too tight mini-skirt.

She stays late every Monday to "work" but I don't know who she thinks she's fooling. About 15 minutes after the day staff leaves, her and one of the attorneys disappear in an office for the next hour and a half.

I've met her husband. He seemed like a really nice guy. Pity.

yeah pity that you think because he's a nice guy this is a tragic incident... matter of fact it's a necessary ingredient for this recipe.

anyway, a "buddy" of mine has a co-worker 50- 60 something years old, just got s boob job, and goes out almost every night.

Who's to say, it's prolly the been there done that, mentality towards responsible adulthood. They just want to have fun and time doesn't stand still

Maybe it's just me then, but I think middle-aged people look stupid dressing like 16-year olds.

if you think 33 is old you're not qualified to have an opinion on this subject

looks like it's working out for her and that attorney

Was reading some random web article last week that said that the reason men do the mid-life crisis thing is because their wife is going through menopause and they feel the biological compulsion to try and pick up fertile women again, hence buying a flash car and generally doing a crappy playboy impression.

Dying hair blonde, boob job etc could be the same thing from the other camp... maybe hubby's dead in bed...

I said middle-aged. Thirty-three is on the young side of middle aged.

I think some people age worse than others too. I've seen people in their 30s that look like their in their 20s. The woman I'm talking about is 33 and looks like she's in her 40s. I sit right next to her on Monday nights. I've sat there and listened to her take calls from her kids--them wailing and crying for her to come home.

I dunno, it does kind of bother me that her kids are crying for her, but she chooses to go bang an attorney that will never want anything from her beyond a blow job and a lay.

You're right, of course. I neglected to mention that the article also said that since the mid-life crisis in a man was actually triggered by the menopause of his partner, it could happen to a guy aged 30 if his wife was 50 (for example). Presumably if my increasingly tenuous connection here holds up, she could be going through a similar thing purely due to the fact that she's fired out so many sprogs. Maybe her or her partner has been rendered infertile.. she sounds like she's going through some kind of crisis in that department.

I think some people age worse than others too. I've seen people in their 30s that look like their in their 20s. The woman I'm talking about is 33 and looks like she's in her 40s. I sit right next to her on Monday nights.

Ugh, smoker? I think I have a picture of the 'type' to which you refer.

You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals etc.

lol, fine, I was being generous. I think 33 is middled aged.

Edit: btw, to me, middle-aged is anything between 30-50+ish. Over 60 is senior citizen.

I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks, and I still feel like I haven't passed the prime of my life yet.

It would be a pretty sad statement if, 3 years from now, I feel like I'm an old man. =\

just turned 30 - in the best shape of my life and got more goals to achieve.

weight lifting seems to be a key to staying young - i read about some recent research which showed that lifting weights actually reverses the aging processes in muscle tissue.

I hope I'm able to play sports competitively into my 60's...

Woah. What the hell kind of image does "middle-aged" bring to mind for you guys? Some ancient thing that needs a walker to get around? Someone past their prime?

The extreme abs instructor at the gym I use to go to could just about crush everyone with her workouts. Muscle guys in their 20s would be groaning. She was 72 at the time. She's 74 and still doing 8+ classes a week for body sculpting, abs, step and yoga. Edit: btw, I was taking classes from this woman and she could lift more weight longer than any of the 30-somethings in the class, meanwhile, my mom died at 72. It was a heart attack brought on by complications from Parkinsons disease but still. It highlighted the difference for me---unless you're very old, it's not the age, it's how fit you are. For most people, diet and exercise are crucial for good health.

Comm'on Rook, look at what the "hip" 16 year old boys are wearing. If you put that on and went to the mall, do you think it would look the same? Or look kinda funny? All I'm saying is, this woman is not the right age for the look she's trying to pull off. I didn't say she was geriatric.

You are right it really doesn't matter what your age is its how you look at yourself and how you treat your body.

Back to subject I can't argue with you about how she would look I've seen them in the mall dressed like that some of them would scare a buzzurd off a doo doo wagon at twenty paces

Wabbit, why not speak with her in private? Would she be receptive or is she too unstable to take criticism at the moment? If you're concerned and willing, try asking open-ended questions that don't carry implicit judgment and feel her out, she may open up to you.

Oh hell no -- I'm totally agreeing with you.

You said she was 33. All I'm saying is that, at 33 (which is only 3 years away for me), I can't imagine anything that would make me feel so insecure that I would try to look like and hang out with teenagers.

I'd say I'm fairly hip for a 30-year old, but I still don't walk around with my collar popped and my hat on sideways. lol

To what end MQ?

There is no way she would appreciate anything I had to say. She's invested alot of time, money and effort into doing what she's doing.

There is no way I'd try to step into the middle of an affair that has absolutely nothing to do with me personally. It's more like watching a train wreck you can't stop.

The 30 somethings in the class must have been a bunch of pussies then.

To the end of averting this train wreck or salvaging what remains, mind you it was a conditional suggestion based on your willingness to go forward and get involved.

You'd know more than I about this situation.

Sounds like she's in too deep to listen to dissenting advice. I take it you two aren't any more than passingly acquainted with each other.

well, when hubby gets sick of it and leaves with the kids, and then gets full custody, the chickens will come home to roost. You can get away with that stuff if you're single, but when you're married, sooner or later your spouse is going to get sick of it and cause trouble.
