No matter. Enough to drag you in for questioning.
The loss of physical books is one of my sadnesses. In the city in which I live there are about 400,000 people, but for the entire city we have one remaining bookstore in one of the shopping center... But who needs books when you have the internet?
How sheltered a life I lead, the only nekkid grandma that I have ever seen was Joan Collins, in "The Bitch." And she wasn't even a Grandma then, although she was forty-six. Mind you , I've seen many a nekkid Grandma letting it all hang out on the Spanish Costa beaches. I'm with my missus on that one. The older you get, the more you should cover it up.Well, that and the lack of nude photos, but once you've seen one nekkid Grandma you've pretty much seen 'em all.![]()
Aw come on Lizzie, you have to keep up with technology.
One thing I've noticed throughout my life is that I've generally been mostly attracted to women who were approximately my age, give or take, say, five years. As such, when I was in my twenties I was attracted to twenty-somethings, in my thirties it was thirty-somethings, and so on. Now that I'm 60, the same holds true, so if I weren't married and were lucky enough to see a woman nekkid, odds are she'd be a Grandma, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯How sheltered a life I lead, the only nekkid grandma that I have ever seen was Joan Collins, in "The Bitch."

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but forums like The Lounge are simply earlier forms of social media, a stage of their evolution. The only real differences are that "forums" are usually targeted towards a specific subject matter and, as such, have a smaller membership base. Well, that and the lack of nude photos, but once you've seen one nekkid Grandma you've pretty much seen 'em all.![]()
That thing wouldn't last five minutes in any house with a cat.
You're right, and the impermanence of modern social media is an issue I had momentarily overlooked. I'm not sure if that impermanence was intentional or merely a by-product of our current "instant gratification" society, but if anyone discovers information anywhere on the Internet that's important to them they had better take responsibility for securing and storing it themselves because there is no guarantee it will be there later.The big difference I find is social media as now understood is much more ephemeral. This forum, and others like it, provides a repository of knowledge. There are several Facebook groups which also have provided me some great information on similar stuff as we discuss on TFL - but the problem is if I don't screenshot it there and then, the chances of me ever finding it again are slim to none. Social media has its purpose, but the notion that it can really take over from forums is bunk...

Age has never been a factor for me.
The most important part is "feeling" an attraction, and some sort of "chemistry"
According to Wiki, the metaverse is the hypothesised next iteration of the internet, supporting decentralised, persistent online 3-D virtual environments. This virtual space will be accessible through virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, smartphones, PCs, and game consoles.Metawha???![]()

Maybe you got it right, Metawha??? (shorthand for gibberish.) Didn't Facebook announce they are to become Meta something or other. Doubt if they will give up their habits of keeping tabs on us just yet...
