Curious George, what is the new middle aged? Curiouser and curiouser. Have spent a lot of my day dealing with women i know are in there 50's and being very unkind about their obvious plastic surgery......(not so unkind about their obvious attraction to very attractive and available younger men.....) I am curious - when i was 25 i thought i would bew asking this question at around 35 or so find myself at 39 and still asking when is middle age in the general view - obviously i am pushing it as far back as possible but simpered endearingly when told i not a day over 32 today!!!!! *secret gloat laugh and know totally untrue!* Just wondered when it hit - for me childless and unmarried although partner3d - does ths make a difference as well? more inside
