| Capernicus:
I'm like the exact opposite, I like being wierd, it me feel more like a rare beast. :) And life is bloody embaressing anyway, and u have to accept these kinds of people, and they make good friends. If your into technology, did u get your big thing u always wanted? Otherwise I think you left too early and gave up!!! |

I feel the NEED to do it, a great need. The excitement that flirting gives me is something I've never sought in my life (In fact, I often tried to avoid it), but now I seek it almost every moment. It's terrible that before my mind could "calm down" by simply thinking about electronics (even just my workbench), whereas now I just think about teasing cute women. Thinking about my electronic instruments and workbench (my passion since childhood) has always brought me back down to earth, given me something to really live for, and now that it's not working that way anymore, it's worrisome for me, especially since it's happened in such a short amount of time. --- End quote --- I'm 50 something and will tell you what I say to my friends, many of whom tell the similar story. I will be blunt, because there is not nice way to say this: Stop being and idiot. Behave appropriate to your age. If you have good woman hold on to her with both hands. They are rare. You cannot make up for the lost time. What you didn't do when you were young is gone. Young woman that smile back at you when you flirt with them are just being polite. You're nice to them and they return kindness. Don't read into it something else because there isn't anything else there. You're an old farth to them as am I or any guy over some 35.... Today in politically correct world, they call it "mid life crisis". It is more like "mid life stupidity"... If this "virtual slap on the face" didn't do wake you up, go see a therapist. Maybe you have depression. That is a serious health problem and needs action. I don't know. Talk to an actual professional in that field. Any way, remember you are NOT a teenager and stop behaving as one... Don't screw up good life because you're bored. Or if you have actual problem with depression (it is actually very common) go talk to a therapist. As soon as possible. Sooner you react, easier it and faster is to resolve problems. Be well and sorry for being blunt. I mean well. |

I am not saying that will be the same for me, but the problem is the attitude/mindset. if you insist, you will find someone, perhaps someone with similar age to yours, but you will find someone. I would love to go back to my "cocoon" where I used to saturate everything with my toys/workbench. |

But when it comes to emotions, rationality doesn't seem to work: you can know it's the right thing to do but still, not have the slightest desire to do it. And doing something unwillingly, when it comes to people, doesn't seem to be the right thing... |

Keep your toys and workbench, you will need them when your last blast of testosterone will wear out. :) |
