I don' know about the twenty year olds though.

In her twenties a woman is like America - young and exciting.
In her thirties she is like Africa - hot and exotic.
In her forties she is like Europe - sophisticated and worldly wise.
in her fifties she is like Asia - mysterious and exotic.
In her sixties she is like Australia - everyone knows where it is, but no one wants to go there.

Wonderful quote. I gotta say, 20 still looks really good to me:ihih:

She was 16 when we met. Still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen - I recall like it was yesterday, not 1986.

A young blonde, standing, waiting for the lift, should I chat her up, or just get on the lift like a drone?

What do you think?

:D

Being 20? I think I'd go back to 30, myself. Peak of my powers in those far-off days. I could lift a horse, once deadlifting a tree two other blokes couldn't get off the ground together; tanned, fighting fit and with the libido and discretion of a randy billygoat!

Those were the days, my friend.

We thought they'd never end....

Hell, someone should write a song like that!

Do men wait until they're 30 to "sew their wild oats"; or are they still doing it at that age? :ihih: I like your version of the song better:bigear:

given the chance, men don't like to wait at all. I married at 21 and got my sowing in early.

It was my idea.

Anyway, the point is to help you out. Everything depends on the guy, his preferences and of course ...your budget.

I sowed for a year and married at 18; but at 40, I began to wonder if I should have sowed a bit more:party:

What is your guys hobby. Let's see: Over many years I bought my husband imported coffees and cigarettes,out of print and first edition books, a ham radio, wood working tools, subscriptions to playboy and a blow up doll we called Bambi...I think Bambi was his favorite:lol:

Well, at least your lover couldn't complain that they spent alot of money on you and you dumped them afterwards. I always found that my boyfriends wanted to start a relationship in the summer and break it off shortly before gift-giving season...did I mention all the men I dated were cheap or broke:incazzato:

Hmm... let me think, what is it all young men want:ihih:?

I always liked presents that took a bit of effort or creativity. I would rather have a wonky hand knitted scarf than the most expensive silk cravat. Or a home cooked dinner, rather than a meal at a fancy eatery.

My favourite gift from the wife was a book mark, embroidered with a picture of the sheep dogs and me shouting "LIE DOWN" at them. It is personal and relevent and I use it every day.

The gift is really the time and effort and the thought, not the "thing" itself.

If you could do something to unexpectedly create some free time for him, he'll be free for other things. the gift is time.

That is so nice. I usually find things the wife made for her husband in the last drawer with broken watches and transistors; you are one of a kind!
Do fellows ever just tell their girlfriends and wives what they want; my husband had a constant list...I also always ask for a list at Christmas

What would you like to do, if you had spare time? I, personally want some super loud, powerful lawn equipment!

Oh god no. I'd been sowing like a Cornish market gardener since my teens, but I think 30 is the peak of maleness - by that age, if we are ever going to be grown up, we are by then; it is when we are at the peak of physical strength - take a look at weightlifters, boxers and strength sports, they are dominated by 30-ish blokes. Sexually, at an absolute peak, and if you've trained properly, you have no gaps in your knowledge and can go all night, every night, and most of the day inbetween!

Something small and personal, made, not bought.

A plain cardboard card with a pressed petal and a love note from you.

That's good too!

Time to go to the pub with his mates!

Never. I don't buy gifts for non-children.

I did hand-carve Mrs Atheist a heart with a poem once.

Yeah, lanmowers!

I love mowers - I used to mow lawns for a living, which is why I was so damned fit at 30.

:D

I have a mower that turns rainforest into lawn in three months.

Anything bigger'n 12" in diameter, you still need a chainsaw, but gorse, shrubs, trees under a foot thick, fenceposts, dogs, sheep, branches, telephone poles, the mighty Victa just mulches them up. Stephen King eat your heart out!

I used to play rugby with a bloke who was in his fifties. He was a window cleaner, lugging his ladders around the town every day. Mind you, he did often give you a hospital pass on the pitch. Great bloke though.

Get yourself one of these, Sounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uPxS3_YFUY

Plus a Ghetto-blaster (are they still called that?) for the macho soundtrack.
