You know you're getting old when..

[Dougella]

^ The cracks I usually see on sunny days are men's, either their chests or builders bums! I think it's legal to wear whatever you want in public as long as your genitals are covered and your nipples if you're a woman.

[Consolida]

^^^ Who is Tom Holland?

^^ In a so called equal society I don't really understand why it's perfectly okay for men to walk around topless but it's not okay for women
That said, I don't particularly want to see anyones bare chest and would prefer them to stay covered

[Dougella]

^ Yeah, last summer I was in the supermarket and some young lads wandered in wearing shorts and no tops, I do think that inside buildings all nipples should probably be covered up!

[Consolida]

^ I know what you mean, but maybe if ALL nipples were on show (at least when the weather is warm) then we wouldn't thing anything of it and it would be no different to seeing noses or ears, etc

Sorry I'm spouting rubbish here

[Dougella]

^ That's true

[Dougella]

^ Possibly spending your days around people who are mainly 18- 21 may be influencing your viewpoint. What kind of clothing are you seeing women walking about in? Bikini tops? Crop tops? Short skirts? Short shorts?
(Have you seen cyclists that all come out in the good weather, are they wearing skin tight cycling shorts to excite people?!)


I only really go along to the shops so if I notice people going about on sunny days the only difference is women might be wearing shorts or a dress or skirt, so there's more visible legs about, same with men, but I can't say I really notice women wearing particularly revealing tops, just sleeveless ones maybe.

You think a man who goes about topless isn't thinking he looks good?! And you think women don't notice men's chests in a sexual way because I can tell you we certainly do! (Depending on the chest in question.)

[Consolida]

Seeing all the lovely jumpsuits in the shops that appear to be all the rage at the moment but knowing that I could never wear one because when I need to pee I'd struggle to get it off in time! And to think, there was a time when I used to be able to last ALL day without going to the bathroom

[Tubbs]

^ I hear you Consolida!

[Rocket Spud]

Can't you get them with bum flaps?

What exactly are we talking here anyway? Like an all in one body suit? I love those... on women. If this is trending then i'm all for it!

[Marco]

When having a pee takes at least twice as long as it used to and invariably is accompanied by a loud and prolonged fart.

[Tubbs]

^^ Bum flaps!

When I think of a jumpsuit I imagine something like this

[Rocket Spud]

Oh, boo.... I was thinking something sexier. At the very least Salma Hayek Wild Wild West sexy...

[Mr. Nobody]

When you have the indignity of having to squat over a small (disposable)Tupperware dish, and then send the "results" to some unfortunate boffin through the post

[Professor Willow]

You can remember a time when it was possible to work on your car at home without needing thousands of pounds worth of computer equipment.

[girlinterrupted]

When you can remember having a 4 digit phone number. As well as when you can't remember if you already posted this

[Dougella]

^ When you can still remember your childhood home phone number!

[Quietman]

^ I remember my childhood home number and my nan’s and auntie’s, it’s strange after all these years as I haven’t rang them for about 15 years, if only my brain would remember more useful information but it never does.

[girlinterrupted]

True^/^^! My brain is full of useless info like my mum's co-op dividend pin number or random advert jingles or tv theme tunes from the 80s

[Dougella]

^ Well you are very lucky! I don't think I even know what my phone number is now

[Rocket Spud]

When part of the grooming regime includes shaving your ear holes.

It's not as bad as it sounds. It's just the fine downy hairs around the ear hole are becoming thicker and growing longer. There's no colour to them... yet.

[biscuits]

^ how do you shave them? Sounds fiddly!

[R.H.I.N.O.]

^ One has a men's grooming kit when one gets to a certain age. There is a little machine for pesky ear and nose hair.

That's how I roll anyway.

[biscuits]

^ that sounds handy!

[Clumsy*]

On the subject of new hair when we're growing older, I normally have one or two nipple hair I have to tweeze out. But Rocket Spud's post has made me realise that I haven't had to do it for a quite a while now. Therefore I must be getting younger! (just wishful thinking)

[Rocket Spud]

^ That sounds painful. Are you smooth-chested otherwise or something?

^^^^ I've got a little trimmer thing on my shaver that you can angle and get the hairs with. I also use it to cut mutant eyebrow hairs.

[Clumsy*]

^No it's relatively painless, and it's only a couple of hair. It's quite common for women to get them on nipples as they mature, if they didn't naturally have them in the first place. Yes I'm normally smooth-chested I'm realising with your question that maybe you thought I was a man?

[Rocket Spud]

^ Ahh ..... yes, i did think you were male! Why, i'm not sure..

[Clumsy*]

^Because I'm shit at picking usernames, that's why

[Rocket Spud]

Well, it doesn't really give much in the way of a hint

Perhaps an avatar is needed.. ? Someone dressed in one of those vagina costumes.. ?

[Clumsy*]

I am a feminist and a weirdo but even that is pretty extreme

And who's that in your avatar pic? Fran Healy in a helmet?
