When are you too old?

[Slipstream]

Ok, I know the sayings,
"you are only as old as you feel"
or my favourite
"you are only as old as the person you are feeling" hehehe


But when is it too old, to be wearing a mini skirt, flashing ya titties, down trou-ing your mates infront of girls, wearing the shirt your wore in '79 and acting like a complete juvenille delinquent?

I have seen old women who really should give up on the whole make up thing, other older women who shouldn't wear young girls clothing (and some young girls who shouldn't be wearing older women's clothing), older men who are trying to be hip by wearing vinyl pants (and they aren't gay) and trying to wear their gold medallions like we're back in the 70's.

Peter Pan syndrome.... what the F is that all about?

I think it's great that people have the confidence to go and put on their mini skirts when they're 71 (yip, seen it happen...not a pretty sight) and old men hit on young woman like they're sean connery...."well hello miss money-penny"

but when is enough, enough?

I do the things that I do cos I want to have fun, but have I been bought up in such a way that when you get older, you must have more decorum?...Only on special occasions and in the bedroom can you dress up?

*sigh* I must be getting old....and oppinionated ....

but serriously....if someone is having fun when they're drunk....but look like a complete idiot and will be embarrased the next day for what they've done ... should you tell them for the sake of humanity, or just let them have fun for the night and reap the calous looks and smirks the next day?

[FROSTY:Me]

what do you think when you see a woman with a few years under her belt .... running around in clothes Brittney Spears wears? getting Jiggy with it on the dance floor?

Do you think, Good for you, or do you think, nice arse? or do you think...OMG!!! get IT AWAY!!!!

If you will post up example pictures, then we can make a judgement

I don't want to pin point .... poor wee darlings.....

On the visual side of the questions ... I always think "Good for you, wish I could feel that confident" but then I think "OMG, I soooo NEVER want to look like that!!"

and with guys dressing out of their own style....if it aint a dress up party...I walk away and hide.... yip...I admit it .... looks do mean something to me in a stranger situation.... but if you don't do the same thing...then you are either lying or a better person than me, but hey,

Well, there is something for everyone I suppose. I have a friend in Wiaouru who regularly "beds" women over 50. They must be dressed like Britney Spears of course otherwise he wouldn't go near them.

I have no problem with young, sexy vixens wandering around semi naked. Hell, Im male and if I could, I would "seduce them" very quickly. But sorry ladies I am taken so no-one can have me. Mrs Sniper guards me very well, often not allowing me out for fear I may be taken away.

Otherwise to answer the question....... "No mingers or people over 40"

[Motu]

I dress out of my style everytime I get on a bike - I'd be happy in forestry boots,jeans,an old leather jacket and a black open face.....but others on this site would start a whole thread on my irresponsability....so I dress up in all this fancy high tech gear,all the colours of the rainbow,zips and spandex,I feel a total dork,definatly out of my comfort zone....but it's what society expects of me,so I have to do it....

[Sparky Bills]

Try staying in Waikanae for a week. You'll have a sick feeling in your stomach and smell like old for months after. At least they dress their age.

Must be a city thing aye


But hey, if they cared, they wouldnt do it.

[enigma51]

At your age you should not be worried about these things.

[Slipstream]

At your age you should not be worried about these things.

MY AGE.....I'm like 6 months older than you...so shhhh you young whipper snapper

[oldrider]

Too old? Too old for what? Is there something you are missing out on? I asked my 88yr old Grandad (deceased) if you ever get too old for sex? He told me that I should ask some old person that question. Never raised the issue again!! He was living with his girlfriend at the time. Saw him skittle a smart arse outside a pub when he was 75yrs old. He musta got too old when he died aged 90yrs I guess. I will be 66yrs next month, what do you want to try? Cheers John.

I think that too. If they have a good bod to pull it off then I say go for it, but the sad thing is many of them don't and they end up looking like old slappers. But if they feel sexy and they don't care what other people think, where's the harm in it. At least when a man gets them into bed he knows about their flaws, so it's no real shock! I was watching that programme with the English ladies who show people how to dress - all stomach holding underwear etc, and it made me wonder what men thought when they got a ladies clothes off and gravity suddenly took over again.

[bugjuice]

some girls carry their age better than others. so you can't really say a specific age.. it's more guided by gravity and the sun. When it kicks in too much, it might be time to look at a new approach. until then, 'kin enjoy your assets to the max..

anyway, from the photo I've seen of you slip, you've got f'all to worry about

[Paul in NZ]

Well if I was to listen to my kids then the Vickstar and I are too old for sex, being seen outside the front gate, parties, kissing, drinking, buying music, operating a computer, selecting clothing, motorcycles and probably breathing.

Just like I thought my folks we too old and past it... I think very differently now.

We make these judgements with the eyes of youth and the firm belief that the age we currently are is the best of all... We also make these judgements based on the false visions of delight rammed down out throats every night through the sawn off double barrelled shotgun of TV bombarding us with impossibly hip drug addled waifs gyrating to wild / cool music made by noble savages and never breaking into a sweat as the move through their wonderful lives and perfect scenes.... Totally missing the fact that we are not watching a life in sequence but that it is an assemblage of takes, crafted and air brushed into perfection by a whole post production team and attended to by wardrobe / make up / lighting etc etc. The rest of us live OUR lives in a single take and on a budget.

Now I try not to swear but fuck them and fuck their pretend play world that only exists in the minds of gay men and gullible women....

I have no desire to wear a speedo on the beach anymore but really, I don't care if others do. I'm fucked if I'm going to hide away as I age. I have never lived my life for others approval and neither should you. Its not a bloody practise lap, you are dropped on the starting line baby and the race aint over until you finally sieze up and croak! There are NO line, barriers or ages when people should stop doing things and certainly NOT just because others are uncomfortable (unless it is going to end up in harm of course) because isn't that what freedom of expression is all about?

If we live in a world thats secure enough to let gay men hold hands in public then why not let us ugly people have fun too?

Yes - I really object to this thread..... No one wants to be non pretty given a choice and sure, some people don't do them selves any favours but if we stopped beliving the utter drivel in fashion magazines etc the world would be a happier place... (dress like madonna for under $20 - yeah right)

....and everyone would come to their senses and buy an old Moto Guzzi
