Yes, it's a new system of math.

Don't they teach it at your school?

No, people say stuff like 40 is the new 30 or 50 is the new 35...it's really just bullshit folk tell themselves so they don't feel like desperate skanks wearing clothing that's clearly too young for them.

Oh ok, I see. Do you live by this motto?

I try not to.

Once in a while I'll catch myself buying something that after wearing it once or seeing it in a pic I'll be like WTF, I'm definitely too old for that. And get rid of it.

I'm not saying folk should dress OLD. Don't get me wrong.

One more question. Is it hard being old and fashionable?

Every time I hear a woman say something like that, I can't help saying, "Oh, yeah? Tell it to your ovaries."

LOL yes that is true!

I do think there is some truth to it the expressions, though, too. Age is unavoidable, but [some] people are healthier today and just seem younger. Maybe it's because they don't work in coal mines, I don't know

That doesn't mean you have to go clubbin and listen to whatever horrible music kids like nowadays, but you don't need a combover or beehive either.

Does that mean I should get rid of the Dockers khakis as well?

But I think you should go to clubs if you want to. 40 is not that old.

But who will you meet there, that's the question. I didn't do well at clubs when I was 22, I doubt I'd do much better now.

Nah...clubs were never me. Nor bars.

If I could find hookups at the Smithsonian or Comic-con then I'd be in heaven.

No worries babes...do you.

Plenty of ladies at the bookstore/jazz cafe/poetry spot or other places of interest to you. The main thing is to have fun trying new things without feeling pressured to be somebody else.

Yeah...I am determined to start spending time in NYC...find those cool spots more my style.

You look great in the first picture...except the shoes.

I don't think that men of a certain age should only wear dress type shoes, though. It's just those particular sneakers are too gym-y.

Yeah...I was wearing my gym sneakers...Genesia pointed it out early on.

Thanks for the compliment though!

BUT - No words of advice or suggestions other than the shoes?

What would it take for you to give me a second look on match.com???

Well, here's the thing. You're either someone's type or not and going from my own personal recent experience on a stupid dating site, it's a split second decision one makes when looking at someone's profile.

We ALL look at the picture first and decide to read about that person or not. Everyone is someone else's type...so why should you change who you are?

Grow your hair out and do something extreme like mountain climbing or sky diving.

Women love men who are extreme adrenaline junkies.

Other than that your're pretty solid.

UGH!!! Tyler, what have I told you about saying OLD! You need to wipe that word right outta your vocabulary young man...

Yeah...you're absolutely right. My own experience sucks.

I'm not renewing my membership after this month.

But I figured I'd have some fun with this "makeover" and the online dating threads that you started.

Skydiving!?!?

I'm not ready for that yet.

But I am still threatening to buy a mountainbike and hit some trails with a buddy of mine.

In fact I just installed a hitch on my car so that I can buy a bike rack.

That scores me some "dude" points, no?

I think you look awesome just the way you are.

But if you reeeeeaaaallly wanna go the extra mile..

Grow out your hair some

Black leather jacket

faded, torn jeans.

Learn to drive a motorcycle.

Get a pair of aviators.

And a bad ass attitude.

Welcome to the midlife crisis. And if you roll thru my town...you can pick me up.
