What do you feel "too old" for?

Orema · 11-08-2014, 08:56 AM

Red nail polish and lipstick. It used to look good on me. Not any more.

Manual transmission sports cars. This is probably my last one, but I don't look forward to driving anything else.

Snow. Retiring to a cold-climate city like Detroit probably won't happen. Pity.

Same. Which is a shame because sometimes I actually want something from a Hot Topic (I am trash) but I'm turning 30 in less than two weeks and I'm not sure it's legal for me to enter a Hot Topic anymore. (At least they have online ordering these days.)

Something else I'm too old for: getting emotionally invested in fictional relationships and then worrying about whether these gals will ever get out of Subtext Hell or if I'm biting down on queer bait again.

Too old to be bothered...

I'm 42 and I shop at Hot Topic. I guess I'm trash, too.

I never got the memo that at a specific age you quit expressing yourself the way you choose to. I actually got a reminder that my Hot Cash can be redeemed starting Wednesday. 😉

What do you (and TL1, who dropped me a rep comment) buy there? I'm waiting on the new RWBY merch that just got announced.

Dresses, band shirts, decals, nose rings...

Recently, I bought some retro early 90's looking sunglasses and a Harley Quinn perfume. *Shrugs* Whatever, I like?

I'm to old to be squatting down with a lighter, to light some sort of fireworks,, and jump up snd run before that turbo charged fuse runs out and it explodes

I'm 42 and I still shop there. Though now it's twice as costly since my teenager is shopping there with me. I got the call about the hot cash too- not that I remember where I put it. Can they pull it up by phone number? I *love* that they called to remind. I get so annoyed when I find "cash" from other stores with mystical dates that have passed.

Sweet Bliss · 07-05-2016, 10:13 AM

Buying the BS.

GeorgiaMa'am · 07-05-2016, 10:22 AM

I can no longer wear metallic eye shadow because I don't like the way it accentuates my crow's feet.

Happily, if this is the only thing I can think of that I'm "too old" for, I must be doing pretty good.

Unhappily, I've been thinking about this for about a week, so clearly it bothers me, probably more than it should.

I'm 55 and can still pass for someone in their thirties and can get away with shorter dresses...although I don't shop at Hot Topic. Lulu's (online) has some really nice outfits.

introverted1 · 01-02-2017, 07:05 PM

Honestly, I don't feel that I am too old for anything...

isn't it interesting the way we age hits us in different ways?!? When it comes to red lipstick, for me it's the only color (I think) looks good on me, but nevermind the nailpolish, I've always preferred clear...

Manual transmissions no matter how pretty the car(alas) can be very impracticable when you live in a hill-filled city (like I do). I'm more interested in fuel economy and comfortable these days.

I save more these days.

What hasn't changed (yet) is the length of my hair. It hasn't changed much since my 20's (long & wavy), here and there when I've tried short hair it was always a disaster

SleepyButch · 11-24-2014, 04:20 PM

Some rides at an amusement park.. well except the merry-go-round. I'll never be too old for that.

C0LLETTE · 11-24-2014, 06:21 PM

I'm not sure but I think I'm too old to shave anyone's initials into my pube.

kittygrrl · 12-20-2014, 01:45 PM

I hear they are still raving, it was fun, but now I would rather spend a quiet evening at home, listening to classical music with a glass of cranberry juice

Dax · 01-06-2015, 09:12 PM

I enjoyed reading the responses to this question!
I am definitely too old for drama.
I cannot stay up all night anymore. I used to go to university all day, work until late at night, then go out to a club with my girlfriend at the time and we would stay up all night then get up early to do it all over again. Now I can barely stay up until midnight.
I also remember The Flame, Executive Suite, some dive on Colorado Blvd., Palms, and Club 21.
I cannot do sports like I used to but I give it a good go.
