I have long held the belief that age is a matter of mindset, sure our bodies age, everyone does, we will all hit forty and years beyond, but it is the mind I seek in a woman. I was out today with a good friend whom I do find sexy and she is 53, but acts well, not 53. When I first met her, I thought she was around the same age as myself, 40, can you believe my surprise when she told me her age, I was shocked. This woman is like myself, an art student, she models for life drawing and photographers, and is up for anything, and now it seems ME dance. It is just fun to watch her go for it, fearless and out for fun.

Interestingly now thinking about it, all my female friends are over forty bar one and the female friends far outnumber my male friends, I like my friends for their mind, their appearance takes second place if it takes any place at all, appearance is largely irrelevant.

Myself, I hit forty and ignored it, I did not see it as a sign of over the hill, I saw it as a teenager tempered with common sense, I can do so much, but I have an amount of common sense I did not have when I was younger. So far, these past few years have been the best times of my life. If this is older age , then I welcome it and those of a similar age and mindset.

You are only as old as you feel.
