I’m happier now than ever before. I’ve stayed in great shape and maintain strong relations with family and friends. Aging doesn’t have to be such a grim experience. That said, it’s pretty clear that looks matter in our world.
I can count on my hand the number of times I’ve been in a gay bar. However, a few weeks ago I dropped in at one recently near Philadelphia while traveling and, even though I’d guess many of the patrons were in my generation or perhaps a bit older, I felt like a twink lol. I felt oddly self-conscious being stared at.
