A few moments ago I turned 30

[Dmoney]

today i slept in until 4pm. Then I met a dude i tored the USA with. I went to some not so exciting places, but its all about who you're with, not where you are... right? Good day. tomorrow will be just as good I hope. and then... NYC!

No matter how old you get... you can still have a pink gingham check dress shirt of awesomeness... with a spread collar!!!

You can have it..... but why would you want it?   :?

Cracking stuff!

Happy Birthday, DMoney. Afghan might just be right about some of that, though :)

My plan was to wear it under a light grey waistcoat and trousers with a knitted sock tie for when I'm on nights out chatting up sexy ladies, roll up the sleeves and the gingham pattern will make my upper arms look bigger while the white part of the gingham check will catch the light more so I'll get noticed, the points of the spread collar will match the shoulder line which will help broaden the shoulders (yes I've nerdified men's fashion to the point of excess and I'll probably have to buy another one if I keep making serious gains in the gym)

You know you want one

JDC, you're a genius! Wearing that on a night out you definitely won't have to worry about getting involved in relationships.  :D

JDC, your "fashion thing" always leaves me surprised, bewildered.... but entertained.   :D

Presumably you could also stuff that "knitted sock tie" down your trousers for the Biff Byford effect, as a last ditch effort when the evening's going badly.

Afghan Dave is right about the relationship thing... I had 5 women on the go before xmas, down to 2 now, might settle with the one I get on really well with but then my brain thinks if I keep progressing as I am at the gym then I can get a hotter girl. Thing is I also don't want to be in my mid 30s still chasing women.

I'm staring down 30 later this year, I can appreciate what you're going through.  I asked the wife (I'm a few years older) if it was weird to be with someone who's almost 30, she was happy to remind me that from her perspective I've been almost 30 since the day we met lol

That's the great thing.. If you keep in shape, keep having fun and don't settle down. In your 30s, women (of all ages) CHASE YOU!

Not true.

(Although I wasn't doing the "having fun" bit.... that's alien to my nature.  :| )

You have to be out and about where the women are... Even the finest Tiger doesn't catch any prey in the Zoo.  :D

[JDC]

They'll chase if you're pleasing on the eye, I'm at a point of nearly filling a small band t-shirt, they used to be a sack on me, so you can tell I workout, still need a fair bit more size so I'll keep lifting until I reach my genetic limit (yes I did the calculation)

I have a friend who's 6'1" 195lbs <10% bodyfat aka tall, big chest, small waist, six pack. He has good facial symmetry too, women literally throw themselves at him, it's insane to watch even the hottest girls turn to drool when he chats them up, he could easily keep going until his 40s and not settle.

So I've been wasting my time practising guitar, that's what you're saying?

:lol:

The key thing there, if anything, is probably the 6'1".  Women do seem to go for tall guys.

On the other hand, he might just have an attractive personality?
