Almost 67 and Still Going Strong

[Jonty]

Have any other mature males noticed that as one gets older one seems to become increasingly attractive to the opposite gender? To be honest, at almost 67, bald, bespectacled, asthmatic and slighly overweight, I can't say I'm God's gift.
But it's amazing the number of "come-on" signals I receive from women of a certain age, which of course I sensitively ignore. Even my daughter's friends think I'm amazingly witty, amusing and fit.
I wonder if it's cycling which is keeping me lithe, relatively slim and attractive? Maybe it's my assets: 3 shiny bikes and a comfortable pension?
Or are younger men no longer up to it?
Happy Christmas everyone.

Fallen asleep in front of the telly again.
Were you dreamin?


67 - What are you going to be like when you get old?

[hondated]

Jonty sounds good to me I cannot now wait for when I to am 67 in 7 years time. Hopefully also by then my 3 gorgeous grandsons will have realised that they were wrong in calling me old and "tubby ". Happy Christmas.

Yep it happens all the time,why only last night I had Cameron Diaz fawning all over me,the night before that it was some nubile 30 something with,well, err, considerable"assets", a lottery winner,with a number of villas in the French Alps,Pyrenees,Italian Dolomites.She considered me as the pinnacle of manhood (Greek god was mentioned,along with unmatched virility).Not only that she showered me with Assos kit and a number of bikes of my choice.I had to turn her down though as she just wasn't my type .

It gets harder as you get older, but its a burden the more mature among us have to put up with .

jonty, I think it's your modesty that attracts them.

Happy New Year

It's a problem I've always had, dozens - I'm pestered continuously by attractive women.

In fact the reason I took up cycling is to wear the daft hat, by far it's most positive use is to make us good looking guys look a bit dafter and more nerdy - reducing us almost to the level of 'ordinary'.
It's not a complete solution, some women still see through it but then the bicycle also gives us an escape vehicle.

I was hoping getting older would put an end to my torment but it would seem not, the girls are getting younger and their clothes skimpier and they're forever stopping me and asking me if I'd like to do "business" (I'll never get the hang of youngsters terminology).

I forgot to mention some of my other attractive features: my hearing aids and nasal and ear hair. The fomer are relatively unobtrusive but the latter I've decided to turn a weakness into a strength by clipping them into interesting topiary.
Recently my friend and I were engaged in animated conversation by a lady of a certain age at our morning coffee/tea and cake stop. After telling us her life history she then told us where she lived and invited us back.
When we left we sprinted up a number of diversionary routes, including secret tracks and, after hiding in the bushes for a while, we eventually felt confident enought to continue on our way, albeit occasionally looking over our shoulders.
We both made it back home safely to our respective wives.
Perhaps my cycling longs are a bit tight?

Its the socks in your lycra that do it

It's just going to get worse Jonty, an elder club member assures me you can get away with ANYTHING when you reach 75. So you wont need to take avoiding action.

[Old pedaller]

You're right Groveller. A 79 year old on my first week long tour got away with murder in his remarks to waitresses etc. At early 40's at the time I would have been expelled from the establishment or held pending arrival of the polis.

They do say there's no fool like an old fool. It's my own observation that I never seem to see a poor old man with a giggling beauty in tow, but men of any age with money bags or power and influence seem to have to fight them off. The older a man gets, it's more likely that his attractive endowments will be in the form of life assurance policies rather than physical endowments. (The former are likely to pay up that much sooner and the latter are less likely to be very demanding.)

I speak as somebody who will soon be 66. Keep all your endowments (and your assets generally) well-covered and proteceted from the public gaze. That way there's much less chance of the other saying about fools (and their money) coming true yet again. And you are less likely to catch a cold.

Well, I'm 61 and have been scaring women away for about 20 years!

When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears," Hefner told Twitter followers.

I think I would've too,he's so cute!

[kwackers]

The real story is she'd been pestering me for a while, I kept telling her "no, I'm not ready to settle yet". I guess seeing the ring from Hef brought it all home to her, she probably realised there really was no future for me and her...
