somewhere you said something about older guys having a hard time... and that guy thinking he knew why...
i am not reprasing this very well...
i hope i haven't been... prescriptive. or dismissive. of how older guys feel.
i learned that older guys are high suicide risk in the US. i actually didn't know that... maybe it was just a faint memory... over here, it's about the young guys. and girls, too. but primarily the guys. the girls just self-harm in non-lethal ways. the 'gesture' thing. the guys actually tend to succeed in ending their lives.
anyway...
i don't really know much of anything about being an older guy. i hung out with older guys in the gym in Aussie. but they probably weren't 'normal' for older guys. it's also possible (i genuinely do not know) that they were a little chemical enhanced. i genuinely do not know.
i went to a lecture about prostate stuff a while back. it was the usual line on trying to justify why we don't test for prostate cancer or offer treatment for it if it happens to be found. he had a line on how older guys felt, too...
at the time... i might just have brought it hook and sinker. now... i guess you live you learn. i've learned rather a lot more about rather a lot more stuff than even i realise, sometimes...
