Over-50s Invade the Social Networking Scene

An anonymous reader writes "The Telegraph newspaper reports that over-50s are invading sites like Facebook and MySpace in massive numbers. A recent study showed that nearly one third of Facebook users are aged between 35 and 54, and that this group also made up 41 percent of MySpace users. "Because the mind of an over-50 is likely superior to that of a drink-addled undergrad, at first there was uncertainty about whether older users would find the Facebook-led social-networking phenomena attractive." Looks like dad just turned up to the party."

    Your 35 year old "experienced old lady" is my hot young sweet thing.

    Please don't think I'm bragging, as being a nerd I don't get laid much (and when I do I have to pay for it), but as I somehow managed to live over half a century, miraculously not dying, I've had sex with women from 18 to 50. And I have to say, experience is more than just age. This old diary entry is about the very best sex I ever had in my life; the woman was in her early 20s (as was I).

    OTOH I had trouble getting it up for 50 year old Chris, who wasn't worth a shit in bed. Fortunately the most she ever cost was a beer or two. The most expensive I ever had cost me a house, a car, and part of my pension.

    The worst thing about being a single 55 year old man is that all the women my age are ugly.

    "older women can fuck the panties off stupid high school girls

    Having actually lived 50 years, I can report that in my small but personally significant sample this is absolutely true. But I would extend the age range to about 35. They finally figure it out around age 35-40."

    Whew...then you can have them!! I'm not near 50 yet...but, heading that way. I don't like them any earlier than 30 really, and if you have enough money...you can get younger.

    When you get much older, they've had kids...and things stretch out and sag, and that is huge turn-off. I like things to be firm and be where they are supposed to be....

    There are some exceptions, but, after they've had kids, that's hard to find these days.....
