Men wearing mascara and eye shadow....at 65 years old??

I'll have to reread my post Friendly...cuz I just don't get where I gave any indication that I wear mascara! I don't!
It was the ridiculousness of it that I was commenting on.

Somehow, your description of what you like your men to be, doesn't surprise me at all, Friendly.
And you're right...men and women were not created equal. Instead, we complement each other beautifully.
The only thing that goes amiss at times is how we think and communicate. This is most recently proven 'above'.

Uhmmm....that was a sarcastic dig at ya there Plunk. I was trying to be funny....but I guess I fell short......he he...ha....ahem.........uh...oh never mind. LOL!

I really didn't figure you did Plunk! LOL! Forgive me?

of course!
purrrrrr

You shouldn't be affraid of your opinion, and neither should those men. If we respect each other, live and let live, there is nothing wrong with having different opinions.

I don't like people who act depressed or emo, but I can appreciate make up on certain guys. However, I see why people might dislike it.
It's good that you express your meaning and are not affraid to do so, that's wha mylot is about. Commenting on eachother in a respectfull way without agreeing on just anything.

Cyber:Thanks hon, I appreciate that!

Did I miss something?? We need a need a new emoticon available to us, one with a head in the clouds. Or one with a cloud around a head with stars and bubbles indicating bewilderment, haha.
Anyway, carry on girls, I don't think that was about me?

Oh...unless you were referring to my making sure it was known that THIS guy doesn't wear makeup??
Yes Friendly, I am a naive old guy sometimes, your sarcasm got by me..

No I don't think that was about you either. And on the sarcasm: SCORE!

Oh..the makeup thing is weird.

It is amazing isn't it?
I think it is cool to hear about a group getting back together for another tour. Or even an isolated concert here or there. Sometimes they do it for free and a good cause.
I picked up AC/DC's new Black Ice. It is typical AC/DC. Although I suspect my favourite time era for them was from around Back In Black to around...Stiff Upper Lip.

When I was a little kid, maybe 7? or so, I remember every morning getting dressed for school in the morning and my brother had Ruby Tuesday playing, along with other stuff from that time era. Now Ruby Tuesday does actually date their music, yet others like Brown Sugar, seem timeless.
The same can be said for many of The Beatles numbers.

Ya the makeup thing I have a harder time getting my head around. While I feel that (for the most part) I am pretty open minded, there are still some things that just seem wrong. Make-up is a woman thing.
The only times that it was used for other means than to enhance facial features, was for camouflage during war and fighting.
But...oh well, the older I get the more I realize how little I know in the longer scheme of things, haha.

Oh ya, the panty throwing...

I think Keith Richards is the only rock artist in history who has had women fans throw their panties up on stage at him.

What a cool reply Nat! In a few ways!
Some women wear makeup better than others. And some know what style (or how or whatever the description is) to apply it. They use the right amount, in the right places and get the right shades happening. Others get a little side-tracked and sorta lose their way. Ya know? And then there others too who are just naturally beautiful without any makeup on. Yet surprisingly, most women will just not agree with that. They think men are just saying it.

Did you guys get Seinfeld over there? The half hour sitcom by Jerry Seinfeld?
For some reason I am having a recollection of an episode that Jerry was coerced into carrying this leather bag that looked like a purse. Anyway, at one point he got made fun of from across the street in downtown New York. So he yells back..."It's NOT a purse! It's a European carry-all, for men". hahaha

Yes you're right about women and make up styles. I do believe that men are used to say those little lies or whatever you wish to call it, just to make us feel good, and I personally don't have anything against that. My husband says that I look better with make up and I believe him.
As for Seinfeld, yes I've watched some episodes but I don't recall seeing the one that you talk of.

He does! I find that a little surprising. Maybe you feel that way, so he knows you well enough to support your own thoughts.

Ya that episode I think is called The Man Fur. But not sure I have the name right. I remember many of the episode names.

You really do surprise me with your comments, every time.
You are so thoughtful and kind, and you always make me smile.
Thanks.

That's good Nat! I'm glad that I do.
I think you are pretty special too, and I value our friendship a lot.

Thanks for BR, I earned it, didn't I? Just joking, but you made me smile again.

Just a note here, many women as we age would do well to remember that less IS more. Dark shades on a mature woman make her look older. Subtle shades are more youthful. Why do you think that young gals cake that stuff on? So they can LOOK older. The employees under Mary Kay Ash, of Mary Kay Cosmetics, tried to get her to "tone it down" for years. LOL! She never did listen.

Yes, the Tim Horton's scene....sigh...
Some of that (cruiser) crowd are terrific. They really are. However, with certain others, there are some seriously lost souls just trying to find their niche.
There is quite a well known label put on the Harley crowd, by other bikers. They say that when you buy a Harley, you're not buying a motorcycle, so much as you are purchasing a lifestyle.
And ain't it the truth.

I can tell you a little story..
A few years ago during an online blind dating exploration, this girl and I had struck up a conversation online, and exchanged photos etc. So after a week or so, we then started to chat on the phone. And were getting along quite well to be honest. But for some reason a key pc of info had never come out yet. I knew she rode a Harley (it made no difference to me) but every time we were chatting bikes, there was the odd time you could tell she was about to ask me what bike I rode, but everytime I was about to say she would go off on another self-important path telling again of her explorations to these Harley get togethers like Americade and Daytona etc. She sure did like to talk..
Anyway, so when she said we should get together and go to one of these ride meets together I said sure, let's do it. But...get this...finally during the planning stages it came out that I didn't ride a Harley, I rode a sportbike.
And believe it or not, we were getting along quite well although I had some concerns over her non-stop chatter
(and that coming from a guy who can chat with the best of them, especially if we're talkin' about bikes, haha) but things were ok up until she learned that I didn't have a Harley. And then you could just see her enthusiasm fade away as fast as a Harley going downhill with a tailwind. haha but
then and finally
Anyway, that was that. She, incredibly, told me that while she thought I was as super guy, she just couldn't be seen socializing with a man friend that showed up at one of these bike meets on a sportbike of all things.

True story [surrender]
and.... [thumb down]

Sure does explore new levels for the term shallowness, eh? haha

Might have saved a lot of time if you'd told her at the start what you drove....?
But actually, now that I know you better, I understand why you didn't.......and I'm sorry after all that she turned out to be so shallow. We're not ALL like that Plunk don't you know? Hmmmmmm?

It would have saved time, but like I say a couple of times it was close to coming up, but then she got onto something else. I think she made certain assumptions. Like she was impressed with my literacy skills (such as they are) and was intrigued that that combo went with being a truck driver, yet she knew I had quite a few other talents like when she learned I had built (am still haha) my own home. But I have a feeling that because of my reaction to knowing what she rode (I quietly made barfing gestures on the other end of the phone when she told be about her 'wonderful' Harley and all the chrome and lace she had added) (KIDDING!) but of course my reaction was just me being friendly and sharing in her enthusiasm, I think that with me being a truckdriver I guess she just assumed I had a Harley. lol I guess she was making pretty big plans for the ol' Plunk...till the ball was dropped, haha
When I look back on it now, while it was a discouraging to witness such shallowness, I feel though like, as it turned out, I got the luckiest break there is! Whew!

Major whew!

Yep, WHEW! Because that means you're still single........nudge, nudge, wink, wink! LOL

you flatterer you

LACE on a Harley, gag here too!

What can I say. I'm a Stevie Nicks fan and was listening to Leather and Lace at the time.....

I hear ya vivasuzi.
To me, eye liner and mascara and all that, especially around the eyes, is THEE sexiest part of makeup on a woman!

I prefer it to lipstick (I love a woman's natural lips, and the shade is always perfect. How can you improve on lips I'd like to know?) or blush or whatever else they use.
The only thing (non visual) that is a greater force of attraction for me than make-up, IMO, is perfume if it suits her and is not too heavily drenched on her, haha

And on another note, do you remember last year when we became friends and I made some comment about your avatar? I won't bother saying here what it was I said, but today, FINALLY, after a year, I finally can see what it really is! And of course it isn't at all what I thought it was. You musta thought I was a bit nuts given what I said, haha.
Oh well, almost a year later, mystery solved.. haha

Yup, you must have missed that in my discussion starter.
No other artist (that I am aware of) has this happened to. And it is an ongoing thing...or at least use to be..

it's a real slang word, Alice.. lol

"who wudda thunk??" is a slang expression for sure. Spelled poorly on purpose...hey...I just had a deja vu cuz/because I cudda/could've sworn you did a discussion on this very thing didn't ya/you?
Spelling wrong and using poor grammar on purpose..

I'd put makeup on just once to see what it would look like, but it would be for a laugh only and I wouldn't go out in public like that. I'd do it just to entertain you if you wanted me to..whucha/what're ya/you gonna/going to do for me now...huh/huh/eh? lol
