I'm another member of the over 40s brigade. Any other old buggers having the midlife "crisis" ?

From a recent bbc article

"Common versions of the "crisis" frequently involve a variable mix of three phenomena occurring some time in the male 40s.

First, a degree of emotional flux and uncertainty - an "intrapsychic" reorganisation. Second, humiliating urges to seek out the romantic attentions of younger women. Third, a tendency to revert to childish behaviours, interests and recreational activities."

It's scary how accurate that description is. Im not really in any crisis as such TBH, but i sometimes wonder if this is why i started taking drugs again a couple of years ago. After being a confirmed druggie in my teens and twenties, i barely touched drugs for most of my 30s apart from a few occasional tokes when some generous fella happened to pass a joint in my direction.

I must admit i dont think i would have got back into drugs atall if it wasnt for the emergence and easy availabilty of Mephedrone a couple of years ago.

Apart from chasing women, which I haven't ever gotten into having been with my now wife since I was 15, I never stopped any of the others !
 
I intend to sweetness. Its a bit 'duuude' for me at times and I feel a bit like I'm sorta 'getting down wid the kids' .
I'm not keen on being the token, addled drug, doyenne.. :D

A doyenne maybe but never a token one, and since we're all a bit drug addled your in just the right place and clearly a lady of great standing, I for one have great respect for you and hardly know you. Stick around you'll grow to ensure me and the others over time, look at it as a challenge in accommodation and tolerance :)
 
Maybe we should open an over 35 or over 40 EADD social thread before the moderators give us a slap on the wrist!
 
Can we have a "How Old Are You" poll thread just for EADD, i'm interested, I think we really are older than most the other forums on BL

Awr you bloody lovely geezer! What a nice thing to say! Thankyou!! <3

Youll need to investigate how to do the graph MM I imagine to get it accurate.

I've never had an infraction, I think I'd wear it like a badge of honour, do you get start on you avatar like Maccy D employees get starts on their badges?
 
^ any of you can create a poll (I think?) - it's one of the thread options if you scroll down below the text-box when you start the thread :)

edit: I'm not allowed to infract out of my forums, sorry atm, you'll have to misbehave in BDD if you want one :D
 
I done already voted on this n hopefully know the poll has been moved to EADD i won't be in a minority group cos i know we got a few older heads round here.
 
Cod liver oil is briliant for joints.

At about 35 I started finding random hairs on my chin which was something of an ordeal! . Its a boost in progesterone that causes it apparently. I could probably grow a Fu Man Chu goaty beard now.

I'm 35 atm and also keep finding these random hairs on my chin , one day i might be able to grow a beard , thing is i'm a bloke !
Its only the grey hairs that stop me from passing for about 20.
 
With a dedicated +35-40 Social we could chat of all our ailments, if any, health tips, menopause, hair loss/hair gain, mid-life crisis and everything without going off thread :)
I'm kind of shy about opening a thread x
 
Poll made, and it can double up as a older-BLer social too if you like! :D
