OK then...
...I was lying in bed trying to think of things that go wrong with men as they age and I had to go on the things that I've been witness to so here ya go!
They totally loose whatever fashion sense they had, which admitedly wasn't much. They wear white shoes with brown belts and plaid shorts. Socks under sandals, pants that rest under a large belly that even hangs over the pants, gray nipple hairs, chest hairs all in addition to the head hair, which may or may not be there at all.
The bald men seem to have massive amounts of body hair, not the least of which comes out of their EARS! What's up with that? They shave to some arbitrary line in the vicinity of their neck because the hair that begins below their eyeballs goes all the way down, under and up their butts.
Men are not immune to saggy butts, by the way, they just cover them up with all of their comments about women and THEIR butts in an attempt to deflect attention away from their own saggy asses. And...they FINALLY get their OWN boobs, that's always attractive.
At some age they decide that the woman that they have loved for decades is too old for them, even if she is younger than he is. They go out and find some young bimbo who wouldn't ever commit like the wife they left. They buy sports cars and motorcycles. I saw an old guy in one of the new Corvettes last week, what a waste of a perfectly good sports car! Their own mid-life crisis leaves them thinking that they are now free and young again...but sooner or later they start to rethink that choice as their ex wifes seem to find themselves again and learn to REALLY enjoy life. I know that's what happened to me. I'm as confident as I ever was and I'm having more fun than I ever did. They get to sit back and watch as the women begin happy lives with men who love them and don't feel the need to screw other women for some of their own personal insecurities. Of course, not all of them do this...but as I said, I'm going on my own experience here.
Some of them start working out again in an attempt to lure women who go after men because of how they look rather than who they are. They're not really gonna find any of them anyway, at least not the young ones...because even a couple of big biceps doesn't make up for a bald head. Now, I shouldn't make fun of bald headed men because I like one a LOT. Sorry, it's just the easiest shot in my arsenal.
While we seem to lose our estrogen, apparently we get THEIR testosterone because now they have to take hormones, little blue pills and bulk forming medicine like Metamucil. We worry about saggy tits but let me tell you, as a nurse, I have seen some saggy packages downtown on men and there's nothing very attractive about that!
Why we worry more than they do is beyond me. The years certainly take their toll on those guys, that's for sure. I dated a younger guy a while back. He was gorgeous, 6'6" tall (I LOVE THAT) and quite well built. But, when he was naked, I noticed that the body that looked so good clothed had a few saggy skin areas when he was out of his clothes. I didn't mind, I just smiled to myself, pleased that gravity affects men as much as it does us. What I don't understand is if a dowager's hump can defy gravity...why can't boobs?
Damn...I'm back to women.
OK ladies...what is going wrong with the men that you've seen? Let's take some of the self-esteem issues we have and share them with the guys...we need to let them know that we notice their shortcomings...we just choose to be a bit more tactful about them.
Except for today...so what have you ladies seen on men over 35? I would have said 40, but the great looking guy that I dated with saggy skin was only 37. So...what can the men expect?
I can't wait to hear these...this will be good for OUR confidence!

I read an article - I think it was on Psychology Today - that said men's mid life crisis are an indirect reaction to the woman in his life leaving her childbearing years and losing her fertility.
Not sure I buy that.
Knee socks! What's up with the knee socks?????
And we can't forget about the comb over either! Eugh...
Eliza, I'm not a man so who knows...but that doesn't sound right to me. I wouldn't imagine that a man would THINK of such things!
Lim, OMG! How did I forget the knee socks? With blue stripes at the top AND the plaid shorts!
And the comb over...I usd to tell Rick that he should just grow it from BOTH ear areas and comb BOTH hunks of hair over to have 16 hairs across his head instead of 8. To his credit, I have to say he did stop that shit. He was deluding hiself into believing that it was his part. That "part" kept getting closer to his ear every year.
I knew that I could count on the ladies to come up with "seasoned" men and their sad symptoms...now come on girls, there are more of you out there...what did your's do when he turned 40? 35? 50? Whenever his mid-life crisis hit.
Guys...we aren't REALLY making fun of YOU...we're just making ourselves feel better about OUR little middle aged pecadillos!
We love ya! What would we do without you? I don't care how long Rick stays gone...I'm NOT taking out the trash!
C'mon, girls...let's really make ourselves feel better!

Quickly, I wanted to say that the lady who commented about a web site was right...it is interesting so I wanted to post it again:
http://www.johnleemd.com/store/nat_progesterone.html
Remember that we are each unique and our problems are as different as our personalities...but the best thing for all of us is to be as informed as possible so we don't let stupid stuff happen like me letting them take both ovaries...there wasn't anything wrong with THEM...I had endometrial cancer, all they HAD to take was the uterus. If I had known about peritoneal cancer, I never would have let them take both ovaries and I'm a NURSE with over 20 years experience. So, there's not one of us who has all the info we need.
Men are pretty lucky in that aspect...but there is a little thing called a prostate gland. The quick test for that one is no mammogram...but a finger or two up the ass is no treat for most men.
It all evens out in the end...no pun intended:):):)
I know this is off topic but how many states have you lived in?
Tom
OK then...let's see. I was born in New Jersey, we lived in Holmdel and Cherry Hill there, then we moved to Roanoke Virginia, then Chicago Illinois, I lived in Elk Grove Village, Benseville, River Grove, Broadview and Glendale Heights, then Petaluma California, then (back to Illinois, Virginia, Illinois again and then Virginia...again). From Virginia I went to New York and then I ended up in GOGIA! So, that makes...SIX! And no one was in the military...I'm just easily bored.
Now I'm off to LA for a visit with my daughter before they take care of that thing in my brain...I always visit her before I'm afraid I'm going to die. I want to spend as much time with her as I can.
OK...that's it.
Meg
There's a discrepency! The two of us can't be "Kelly" in LA, so we've got to get me a new name!
*walks off singing to, 'I love the nite life'*
I want some
AC-SHUN
I want to live
AC-SHUN,
I got so much to give
I want to give it
I want to get some too
Ooooh I, I love the nightlife
I got to boogie
On the disco 'round, oh yea
Oh, I love the night life
I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea
AC-SHUN
Seriously, enjoy your time with your daughter.
Yeah, you need the new name, I've been using Kelly for too long to change now. I get it by seniority alone. You can be Lisa. Lisa Rofsted. Yeah...that's actually pretty good.
:):):)
