Signs of getting older: Even paper cuts take longer to heal.

Pesky symptom of aging: memory loss.

Yeah, but Southern ladies have that really scary way they can eviscerate you by saying

"Bless your heart!"

Keith from Oregon:

I'm a 66 year old man, and I became invisible to women years ago.

sugarwolf:

Nobody believes my age when I tell them. I'm not dying my white hairs so maybe be people will stop thinking I'm in school.

(Murakami Whywolf))):

Older, in stores:
Pro: I'm no longer frequently searched.
Con: Women behind counters neither flirt with me nor are reticent.

That is to say, I'm now considered 'safe'. If I weren't white (enough), I'd probably welcome it.

Great topic. Interesting to hear from the older guys too.

kimzilla:

Hi Melinda! We actually decided to focus on the ladies this episode, since there is a pretty significant impact on the "invisibility cloak" that occurs with woman as they age, but we do want to hear from men on the message board on this subject from their perspective.

@kim I assumed the show was oriented towards women, which is cool, but glad to hear the guys on the comment board as well.

Devil's Advocate: the 'wise old person' idea made more sense in relatively static societies with fixed canons of knowledge.

sounds like a sequel, I'd be really interested in hearing from men on this topic

@ Kate, not a bad idea, if any men want to talk we want to hear from you. email us!

Murakami I think you are right. Age still brings wisdom you can't attain without it, but elders aren't the sole repositories of knowledge and things change much more quickly now.

I 'read' much younger on the phone and via email; I've had potential high tech employers be very enthusiastic over those channels only to see their faces fall when I show up, in one case after travelling from one coast to another.

There's knowledge, and then there's wisdom.

@Dez- and that's one thing woman don't really get. Being called distinguished that is.

sandra makes a GREAT point about hanging with all ages when in your 40s

Ken From Hyde Park:

Pro tip: Hang around with old people. That way, you're the young, cool person of the bunch.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28pm
melinda:

@Ken yes. I have a lot of older friends. But ideally one has friends of many ages, because the older ones will die first.

@Ken, so true.

Greg from ZONE 5:

I love that about FMU—I can hang out with someone in their 20s and someone in their 60s AT THE SAME TIME.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:33pm
melinda:

@Greg I can't hang out at FMU in person but I like that feature of participating in the comment boards.

One good thing about getting older that I've found is that you know a lot more songs and poems to use in appropriate occasions.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:34pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

@Greg - Yes, also people from urban, rural areas, different countries, life experiences, etc. It's very cool.

kim said that they can't be fuzzy. She mean the pictures, it was a joke :p

@Will, the mascots can be fuzzy, feathery, slimy, squishy, or spiny.

Marc15:

I faced agephobia on a Gay Dating App. I put my age, 50, in my profile. A 22 year old guy messaged me and asked me why am I was using this App if my “life is over”?
  7:38pm
Emily:

@Will ohhhhhh. D'oi. It was a good joke! Just because I didn't get it doesn't mean it wasn't good! I'm just a little thick :P

@Marc that''s awful.

Greg from ZONE 5:

Can't remember who said it, but they said that being an attractive woman and aging is like being born rich and slowly going broke :(

@ Richard S., that is SO true,
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.

@Marc15, I want to visit him when he is 50 and laugh in his face.

Richard S:

@Kate: This has been in mind a lot lately
"... Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

kimzilla:

I love all these discussions, especially from the male perspective.

@Melinda Thank you
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:45pm
Greg from ZONE 5:

@Marc: And if life has taught us anything, it's that 22 year olds know everything.
  7:46pm
Marc15:

@Kimzilla I would love to

sugarwolf:

I work with someone who one day decided she didn't want to laugh or smile because it causes wrinkles.

Marc15:

@Greg From Zone 5: Oh yes! My Ex-Boyfriend was 23 when we were together and he thought he knew everything.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:51pm
melinda:

I found that at some point in my mid-late 30s I stopped worrying about attracting unwanted attention, whether or not dressing a certain way would attract it, etc. At first I thought it was just me gaining confidence through age but then I realized it was because guys weren't noticing me, or letting me know they noticed me. It is mostly liberating, but also kind of sad (and it feels whiny to mention the sad part, but there it is).

Will from Seattle:

oi that's cause you were in NC...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:52pm
melinda:

Pro-natalist attitudes like that make me so mad.

A definite throat punch for me too
  7:52pm
Kate:

@Richard S: oh yes, we need to meet at a bar somewhere and drink
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:52pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Movies, TV and magazines are pretty much riddled with young, handsome people, further adding to the stereotype that the olds don't matter much.

I'm about to turn 40 this month, and I'm near panic every 20 seconds
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:54pm
melinda:

@Ken yeah, only seeing young people represented in media really gets into your head and makes you feel irrelevant.
  7:55pm
Marc15:

As Greg said the 20-somethings think they know everything

Dear God please don't take my drinking. Anything but that…

When my runner's magazine stopped publishing, I was switched over to Men's Fitness magazine. Surprised to find an article covering men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s -- then nothing. I ain't dead yet!

Father Time, the undisputed, undefeated champion of the world (sports analogy). Don't fight it, just go along for the ride. You are what you are.

Also, for a comic greeting card: "We're not as young as we used to be." "We're not as old as we're going to be!"

Hypertoast:

I remember hearing an interview with Joan Rivers(i think it was with Terry Gross) and they were saying how insulting it was when someone said to an older woman things like "oh, and who's this young lady?" or things like that. Most people don't even think that older people can handle it.
