It was forty five/ forty six in my crowd and then we all recycled.

We've noticed that with 16-year olds. They are all on some sort of rota.

I think the age restriction depends on where you live (though that might actually only effect how long you are supposed to keep trying to be one). And if the sod's law applies the same way to women as men, I guarantee that as soon as you try and make a move on a young, attractive prospect you will be surrounded by older, far more desperate ones.


Are you implying I need the desperate ones? I think it's just as well you're not looking for a woman as I don't think you'd get on very well. Lol

Everyone has a price - mine is chocolate

Chocolate is important.

None of my crowd have even got one yet, let alone thinking about recycling! I think we must all be emotionally stunted. Lol

It's just a general observation on human mating. It's like the Willy game (the one where you take it in turns to say "willy" progressively loudly until a bystander makes a comment). Each person makes signals to the other, which go completely unnoticed, until someone else who is looking for them rushes to take advantage.

I make no comment on your needs.

And what am I to infer from your comment, hmm?

We were all married very young and most had even celebrated silver weddings by their mid-forties. Ten more years and we may be re-cycling again, but don't tell my new old geezer.

Crazy. Around here, our generation is choosing to marry old. My cousin did it at 33, the few others who have married were at least 25 and they'd been together for at least 5 years.

My American cousins are marrying very young, 17-19. But that is because they are JWs and aren't allowed to have sex until they do.

I was married at 22 (high school sweethearts:blush). Still married 16 years later.

I managed two wives before I hit thirty five, or I should say, mismanaged. My present wife of twenty years is a diamond to my rough. I wouldn’t swap her for anything. That is unless… ouch!
There’s a juniper tree in my garden, but I have an uncle in Kiev.

I'd certainly advise against swapping her, if she's only twenty...

Badly put. Okay, I'll tell you how old she is. She is... hell that hurts!
