  • She is What???

    I manage a game store in a mall.

    Young guy comes in today saying goodbye to an older woman as he comes in. This woman looks to be about 60 years old (important later). This guy has been in here before and usually spends more time chatting about crap to me than actually spending any money. Basically wasting my time that I could be spending helping good customers.

    He starts talking at me as usual and mentions his girlfriend to me, I am not sure why he did this but maybe he was trying to impress me. After about 1/2 hr of talking at me, he says "oh, time to go, my girlfriend is waiting" and goes out our door to meet with the previously mentioned woman, his girlfriend. I am like "Dude, she is old enough to be your grandmother!" (didnt actually say that out loud but ya).

        You'd be surprised how old a 25-35 year old can look... hard life/drugs/etc...

          I'm about to turn 44, and I've seen a lot of people my age that look really good, and a lot that look really bad. One example of the latter is this girl that an old friend of mine was seeing roughly 20 years ago. I'll spare you the gory details, and just say that she didn't tream him right, and they ended up breaking up.

          A couple years ago, I ran into her at the local supermarket. I don't think she remembered me, and I wouldn't have known who she was, except that she was working there and was wearing a manager badge that had her first and last name on it. She had aged horrible. She was actually a couple years younger than me, but if I didn't know better, I would have thought she was pushing 60. She looked pretty rough in the face, had quite a bit of gray hair, and had a mustache.

          When my friend found out about it, he just had to come out and see for himself. He didn't say anything to her, but he laughed his ass off once we were outside. She didn't say anything to him either, so she either didn't recognize him, or just didn't want to talk to him.

            The funniest part of this is that my dad just turned 60, he is now officially a senior. And he hates taking the discount, it makes him feel old. XD

              May-December relationships can happen with a May male and a December female, too.


              But as I mentioned yesterday in another thread, people often assume my husband is my father. He's five years older than me: we're 44 and 49.

              I look early thirties, even late twenties.
              He is age-spotted already, and with salt-and-pepper hair that's more salt than pepper, and he's had a bent spine since his teens, and has arthritic knuckles. Peoples' estimates of his age vary, but they start at sixty and go up.
              Seshat's self-help guide:
              1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
              2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                And I admit to being old enough to get that reference.

                    A former CW of mine worked 6 jobs (yeah, I know) at the same time...until the day he quit, I honestly thought he was pushing 65 or so.

                    He was 34.

                          I took a picture a while back with a customer at the bar, who was 3 days younger than me, but if you saw the picture, you would swear that he had me by 20 years or so. Male pattern baldness, aged face, paunch, etc. Basically none of the things I have. He looked a bit older than he was, and I dare say I look a bit younger than I am.

                            We have just such a steady at the tax office. A 32y.o. ex-drug user who passes for 60 (we know her real age because we card). On the other extreme, I have a steady who turned 70 but passes for a 40-something.
                            I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
