You can add me to the 32-50ish group. I NEVER have felt much older than my 30's...and I'd NEVER go back to any age under 35, and if I had to live that life again, as it was, I'd never go back period!I must've had my agedar on when I proposed to you, because we are very close.
>>From the way I feel at 52, I'm beginning to think there are a whole lot of 80 and 90 years olds out there who still sigh with poignant longing when they see a beautiful man or woman.
I hope there are a lot of 80 and 90 year old people who still jump each other's bones! I plan to be one of those if I live long enough.

> Wow! Look at the grouping so far. Are we just the brave ones, or does depression tend to clump around 32 and say fifty-ish. Who else is out there? Shar? Greg? Judy1? Others?

> Also, look at the number of people who say they feel younger than they are. Remember when you were in your 20s and you vaguely assumed people over the age of (fill in the blank) were basically asexual? From the way I feel at 52, I'm beginning to think there are a whole lot of 80 and 90 years olds out there who still sigh with poignant longing when they see a beautiful man or woman.
