[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The many threads here about how people over 40 who divorce shouldn't want a life partner again are perplexing. For most UMC people in their 40s, they're only halfway through their life.

And I'm confused by the people who imagine that people in their 50s no longer have an interest in sex, as if they are old rickety people whose bones can't handle it or something. I understand that those who are very young, like under 25, see anyone over 50 as an ancient grandma. But anyone in their 30s or older who has a job and is in daily contact with "peers" who are over 50 has no excuse. This IG post features celebrities who look better at 50 than most of us looked at 25. But it still makes this point. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6mfFgnyCuf/?igsh=MXRvd2ZneWRlOWo1eg%3D%3D&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR31Ty3JF-tpzWN64lH0xcGxI3HrY9Pfyx9Ttxam-uh7duQBGPVoVqwiBiY_aem_AYHNq9AAyzOCxpCtWqPYY7ELdZw_rSov4ToJG91b0njRYAYXowqjjCEyqBxxJgBGYXA6qYUS1IRrwaRvYjGXnJK9[/quote]
I think whether 50 is "old" is really a case by case basis. I am a 51 yo male who looks early 40's, exercises daily, plays ice hockey (no checking), and has young kids, so no one thinks I am 51. I'm also gregarious which I suppose can present as a bit immature (this is fine with me). I also know people who are 50 with beer belly's, etc. and they look old (no offense). 50 is a really weird age with a lot of natural variability. If you take care of yourself you can still look really good. Oh I also forgot to mention, something really weird has happened over the last few years regarding my body strength. At 51 I am the strongest I have ver been in my life, and I've been exercising/lifting since my 20's (not body builder stuff just regular strength training). So stronger at 51 than at 31 is kinda weird and not sure why this would or could be.[/quote]
