It’s funny, well, not really, but when I’m walking down the street with my bandmate, all of the women look at him and not at me.
He is about 25 years younger than I am, which tells me that my time as the most handsome guy in the crowd is over.
I know it’s natural for women to be attracted to younger guys and not old guys like me, so I have to accept that I’m getting older and just deal with it with grace and dignity. Maybe I will get a facelift soon, haha. Even though I’m old, I still have work in heating and cooling, which is nice because it keeps me off the streets and keeps women from having to look at my old face. I still get looks, but it’s usually from older women and not from young girls anymore. As long as my friend and I can play music in temperature-controlled clubs, I don’t care who looks at us. I get a lot of joy from making songs and playing the drums while I sing, but not so much from how women look at me. I did get more attention from women when I was a Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) tech and diagnosed AC units for buyers in their homes. Now I am just that old guy who comes over to work on the condo and nothing more. I still feel young, though, and I can lift heavy space heaters and other things like that without getting tired. Not too disappointing for a 56-year-old.
