[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to my 30th college reunion and thought the women mostly looked awesome and the men mostly looked ancient. I think women just take better care of themselves.

But I also think it's not all about looks... of course. My ex-DH was a military officer who worked out constantly. He looked young and was very fit and muscular. He was also a verbally abusive a-hole with a ton of sexual hangups. My BF is 58, his hair is thinning, and he's kind of skinny except where he's getting a little bit of a belly. Do I wish sometimes he had a body like my ex? Yes, sometime I do. But the sex is so much better, because he's self-confident and attentive in ways my ex never was, and I am so much happier.

I've actually know my BF for two decades, though we only started seeing each other after we were each divorced, and in a funny way maybe this helps? He was incredibly handsome as a younger man. And when I look at him, I can still see that gorgeous 35 year old, even though he is aging and I can see all that too.  [/quote]

I had a similar reaction to my 30th reunion. Many of the women looked like movie stars. The 35th was different.  Almost all of the beautiful women had faded. Many looked like grandmas by the 40th. Several successful men still seemed to have it going on at the 40th. We haven't had the 45th yet.[/quote]
Uh, I mean, you’re 58 by the 40th, which is the age many women become grandmothers if you live outside the bubble of delayed motherhood in DC. I say this as a woman with two geriatric pregnancies, but that IS grandmother age.[/quote]
