Went out with a buddy of mine this weekend. We go back 30 years and he dragged me out with him as he said it was time...

A few observations;

A Hangover sucks waaaay more now.

After dropping a total of 40 pounds now (15 more to go) I am getting a *ton* of looks from girls. Oddly, it's the mid twenty crowd of females that are interested (I'm 43 btw).

My confindence is slowly starting to return.

The humor that landed me a woman for 20 years is still there and is slowly returning.

I have stayed away from all Alcohol (did not want something to depress me more) but found out this weekend, that it was not waranted. I was actually a "happy drunk". I'm not much of a drinker, but it was a little bit of a relief to know that when I do, I won't be the depressed guy....

and,

I get to love things about women again and not feel guilty! This is *huge* to me. I even walked up to a drop dead gorgeous woman and floored her with an opening line I have not used in 20 years. Damn did that feel good, and she would not take her eyes off me all night. Of course, I did not say another word to her before leaving.... ;-)

I'm still getting used to the empty house (still hurts like hell sometimes) and my life will never be the same (both emotionally, and financially) but ya know what? That might not be such a bad thing......

Excellent! Glad to hear that you're starting to get back into being comfortable in your own skin. I remember VERY well what that kind of a breakup can do to your confidence, and it's good to hear it's coming back so quickly.

Noticed same thing myself. For some reason many young women (certainly not all) go for that. They'll chat me up and even hit on me, and I didn't even have them on my radar...

Of course the one you've had your eye on for a bit, who's nice to you, ask her to coffee and then she tells ya "sorry have a BF"!!! dizzy ARgh!!

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011
