Hi Alex! I’ll take “things that never happened for $100, please.”

Sorry this was the daily double and you totally missed it

What are you doing today? Getting ready for the last round-up at the J. Gilbert's happy hour (where you can place your large buttocks on a couple of barstools and go on the prowl)? You should spend more time getting ready for happy hour and less time on DCUM. It would improve your luck.

Damn, sir. Two finger snaps. Did you end up marrying that boyfriend your wife divorced you over?

That boyfriend is likely hotter than you. And less likely to give me (or anyone else) an STD.

Do they deep-clean your barstool at J. Gilbert's after they know you have sat on it?

Pipe down, honey. I love my feisty gays, but you're way too mad for this thread. No one here's to blame for your decision to go trolling for d!ck while married to a woman instead of coming out. Consider the alimony an expensive lesson learned and calm down already.

47 years old women look 47. What's your question OP?

Why do 47 year old men look 77?

This is hyper delusional. No one is mis judging your age. Women may tell you that you look younger to flatter you and be a good friend. Men will flatter you for engagement and potential conquest. NO ONE IS ACTUALLY MIS-JUDGING YOUR AGE. I'm in my late 50s, have told dozens of female friends over the years how "young" they look but it has never once been true. I have never yet found out someone's true age afterward and been surprised.

Yes, some people are more well maintained than others. That is not the same as looking a different age. If I have a 50-year-old Ferrari in mint condition, I still do not think it is a brand new Ferrari. No one would.

Asian American here. I didn’t look much different at age 40 from 30. People often thought I was in my twenties and people often were shocked when I said I was 40. Then Covid happened and I’m now almost 50. At age 48, I definitely look forties and older than a short few years ago.

I have friends who are almost 50 who look fantastic. They put a lot of effort into their looks, had mommy makeovers, etc. I think it takes a lot of effort to maintain looking good in your fifties. I have never done Botox or laser therapy and salmon dna or other things some of my friends do.

Black women age beautifully too. I wish white people would stop making broad statements as if what applies to them holds true for all of humanity. White skin ages terribly. Darker skin not so much.

So hot 40 something men with career status don’t date 47 year old women….. pretty much ever. They presumably left a marriage with a age mare counterpart and are looking to upgrade.

Not that PP but where in that post did they say they didn't look their age?

“I myself don't have wrinkles, saggy skin or gray hair. I'm fit and full of energy.”

The feisty comment about STDs hit home.

Sweetie, you cannot treat your body like a Metro car (i.e., have hundreds of passengers ride inside you per year) and not expect to show your wear and tear.

And don't kid yourself. It shows, and everyone you prey on during last call at your favorite watering holes notices.

Americans in general (both men and women) let themselves go.

It sure does.

In the 40s average behavior does not hold up. Only people who actively make an effort to stay fit and eat well and take care of themselves look good. This is true for men and women. People with more melanin have an advantage with skin.

Yes, they do. Fact: hot, confident wealthy women can date any age men they want.

You don’t understand this because you’re not interesting enough to attract such women.

Are you applying society’s definition of what is age appropriate for you?

Just spend time with men who hold some potential for romance, according to your taste.

I would not go young young, but many men in their 40’s look good. (It may be an age, however, when few ate available .)

Did you grow up without a father or how did you not learn that being this mouthy as a man reads promiscuous bottom? There's nothing weirder than a man trying to play the dozens with a woman because his feelings got hurt.
Go find your manhood.
