I believe when we were at school the preferred term was "suck"!

For sure. Now that I know I've got no hope of my life amounting to anything or of finding a beautiful partner the pressure is well and truly off. And as a result I'm more mellow.
*I ticked the impotent old farts option. |
I take it your a living breathing, not newly released mass murderer/rapist, and that you have family and or friends?
then your life has amounted to something, you may not recognize just what yet, but keep looking
a beautiful partner. hmm. there's lots of beautiful people out there, why have you stopped looking? and what exactly are you looking for? the drop dead gorgeous arm candy every one wants a piece of? not too many of us get that, or are that, but most get to be that to somebody, at some stage.
one things for sure, while you count your failings, your missing out on creating your blessings, why? why would you do that? if I told you you have one year, just one year, what would you do? would you make a list of what you haven't done, or what you want to do? |
Nah. I was talking more along the lines of the infinite possibilities of youth not being there anymore. I'm just grateful that I'm not still bashing my head against the glass ceiling thinking that things that are well and truly out of my reach are obtainable. It's a tremendous relief. |

Agreed. And get off my fkn lawn. 
Although, in truth, I'm a bit 50-50. In some things I've developed better coping skills over time and things that used to seriously piss me off no longer have an impact. I can just let those balls go straight through to the keeper.
However in other things my tolerance level has diminished. I have far less tolerance for fucktards than I used to have, particularly self important ones.

Although, I'm probably pretty tolerant with blind adjustments |

Not at all. Just turned 48 and I still like being the 'class clown'.
Most of the blokes on my crew at work are in their 20's & 30's and they think I'm one crazy mutha f cka😂
