Makes an old man feel good

[Arnwyn]

Being 31, I feel somewhat "out of touch" with people in their early 20's and below.

I am approximately your age, and I consider that to be a very good thing.





Get the hell off my lawn.

Actual conversation had by me and some undergraduate gamers at our university:

"Cool, Dr. Pope! I didn't know you play D&D. How long have you been playing?"
"How old are you, Ross?"
"18"
"For about as long as you've been alive."
"Woah."

(later, with a different guy)
"So, did you start playing with Second Edition?"
"Nope. Red Box Basic Set."
"Woah."

I'll be 30 in six weeks.

Again, we are in complete agreement.

i make it a policy* to not flirt with anyone under 52... 53 in about a month...


*to avoid getting my head bashed in by my wife

If she reads this, I'm not so sure about that.

Being 31, I feel somewhat "out of touch" with people in their early 20's and below. But this week has been good. I caught the eye of a cute, young girl and she smiled at me, and not in a "why is this old man staring at me? be cool, he'll leave soon" kind of way. This has happened twice this week (different girls). Made this old man feel really good, I tell you what.

Having had a similar experience this week (though with some verbal cues to indicate attraction as well), I must concur. I am 35 and happily and faithfully married for 13 years and plan on staying that way for some time to come.

I must admit that after the initial euphoria wore off I started thinking... "She must have some issues."
