    That the older you get, the easier it is to date if you’re in good shape and you know how to listen.

    So don’t think it’s all over for you just because dating may be difficult right now.

    When I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I was in decent shape, but pretty average looking. But at that age there are a LOT of people in decent shape who are above average looking. So lots of competition.

    Hit my 40’s, still in pretty good shape. Hair is a mix of gray and dark. Suddenly 30-year old women are asking me out.

    I haven’t changed my attitude. Haven’t changed my income. Haven’t changed my personality. Haven’t changed my location.

    I’m in my 50’s now, and I get laid more than ever. I’m in an open relationship with my current GF. She just has to “approve” of the girls I date.

    I 100 percent think that it’s because most people in my age-range are fat as fuck, and unhealthy.

    Some women like older guys for stability (I’m not racing cars or going to bars every fucking night, I’m easy to reach, like to chill, etc), and since I’m in shape, I’m suddenly popular.

    And I’m not even in THAT great of shape: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27861648

    Yeah, I work out and stay lean, but when I’m wearing a shirt, you don’t look at me and go, “wow, that dude works out!” It’s really that I’m not overweight, so that sets me apart.

    This isn’t a humble brag. I legit have a face like a foot: i.e. not that great looking, but functional.

    It comes down to just that I’m not fat, have stability, own a house, and I’m not a serial killer. That’s fucking it.

    So depending on your age, just hang in there. It gets easier.

    And for more immediate tips: Listen, and know how to be comfortable with small talk. Also makes the rest of your social life easier too.








  • My pension plan is for state workers. So we can retire at 55 if we have at least 20 years service in. I turned 55 this year, and hit my 20th year this year.

    Of course, the longer I keep working, the bigger my pension would be. I took my current job with the plan to work for 3 more years, then retire.

    And I like my current job enough, but every single morning after I turned 55, when I wake up, I think to myself, “Shit if I were retired, I wouldn’t have to go anywhere.”

    My job is a 10-minute walk away. So I really have no right to bitch about it at all. But just “having” to be somewhere, gets on my nerves so much now! lol

    So since I don’t owe anybody shit, and I can live off of potatoes and beans, I’ll get by just fine. I don’t give a shit what people think of me, so no keeping up appearances. That right there, makes my lifestyle sustainable on low income.



  • Yep! I retire in 5 months. 55 years old. With full pension.

    My house is paid off and I have no debt. Since I have no bills, my pension will cover my needs just fine. It’s not a huge pension or anything, but I’ve worked for my state for most of my adult life, and whittled down my bills to almost nothing. So I’ll get by just fine.

    I plan to just spend my time in retirement doing exactly what I want. I’ve recently started a local branch of my favorite socialist party, so I’ll devote more time to that.

    Plus, I’ll do a lot of writing, a lot of Lemmy posting, garden more so I can grow most of my meals, and doing DIY solar projects so that I can cut back on my bills even farther. Because fuck the capitalist power infrastructure in my state. My state’s BS laws won’t let me go completely off-grid while here in the city, but I plan on reducing how much I have to pay as far down as I can go
