Tabbi,

> I get it now. I get the whole stereotypical male midlife thing of hooking up with a 25 yr old woman. (And whatever the female equivalent would be--plastic surgery binge?)

An old friend once explained the ultimate solution: Everyone gets married twice. When men are young, they get older wives, and when they are old, they get young wives. That way, all older adults have younger mates. ;-)

>I'm tired of grieving losses.

I don't know how to grieve. One long-time friend died this year and I didn't feel anything. I have several friends in their mid-80s and 90s. They won't last much longer.

>You know how you need bifocals in your 40s.

I got my first bifocals at age 29. No joke. Today, I use 3 sets of eyeglasses: driving, computer, and mixed-use bifocals. And I am only a few weeks shy of 41.
