I agree, there will be plenty of takers for women in both categories. 33-35 isn't that far past peak though in my eyes. The acid test being that the great majority are stil fertile - and hence smooth skin, hair, more feminine figure, etc. Mrs 53-55 is well past it. Post menopausal. Personally...

I think you're being a bit mean spirited describing her as a 6-7. I know she's sat down so you can't judge properly but, to me, she's a solid 8 in terms of looks - at least from what I can see. Obviously, these things are subjective though, I realise that.

There's a massive difference between a woman in her 30s and in her 50s though. The former is generally fairly young looking, fertile, and has plenty of life and energy. The latter is usually post-menopausal, less likely to be attractive or in shape, and are often bitter and worn down. It's...

In my experience, it can work either way. Being in a healthy relationship with a good woman can really boost you socially and economically, and help your career to progress. Sometimes significantly. A bad woman can absolutely destroy you though, never mind hold you back. There of course...

I like hot showers and hot baths. I wouldn't have a cold one if I could avoid it. I hate being cold. Sorry if that's hugely unfashionable.

OK, thanks. Let's move on :up:

Don't be cheeky and don't call me a jerk. Thank you. Leaving that aside, the twin turbos on my Jaguar are still going strong at 135,000 miles.

Yep. Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Lexus all Japanese, all very reliable, all leave me cold. But you need to buy one of those if reliability is your no. 1 priority.

They don't break down a lot. No car does nowadays comapred to the 1970s and 1980s. Mine's never broken down and I've had it nearly 10 years now. My Mercedes did though, that's why I got rid of it. Either way, if reliability is your only criteria you need a Japanese car. In fact, they're all...

You want reliabilty, buy a Toyota or a Honda. You want a bit of English style, get a Jag. You want neither, buy a BMW.

Well, yeah, so no more or less relaible than most. As I said. Repair and maintenance I've not found particularly expensive TBH, but I've got a good independent specialist nearby. I'm in the UK though and I accept costs might be higher in the US or elsewhere as Jaguars are less commonplace there.

I tend to agree, although middle management is, in my experience, worse than senior management inasmuch as you're effectively the meat in the sandwich as a middle manager ie. caught in the middle with pressure from both above and below. Middle managers are also often more vulnerable when it...

None of that is true - and I know, I've driven a Jaguar for many years, and a Mercedes before that. Jaguar got a bad reputation when British Leyland took them over in the 1970s. Things have changed greatly over time though and most of the running gear isn't company specific nowadays either...

Very nice car which will be no more or less reliable than the equivalent Mercedes or BMW to be honest. Buy well and have a good specialist keep it in good fettle. You'll have a something a bit different and feel a big special when you drive it. Good luck, enjoy.

Find a good independent specialist. Dealerships are a rip off.

I'd say my peak SMV was about 30-31. I'm now in my late 50s and still in good shape (think middleweight boxer). I've also got plenty of hair and a solid job. I've just come home after giving a woman 22 years my junior a good seeing to. Would this woman have been interested in me at 30? I...

Yeah, I drive one, an old-school XJ6. I've had the car donkey's years and love it. Before that I had a Mercedes C-Class and, to be honest, there's not much difference in reliability between the two - although I always keep my cars well serviced and in good condition. A Jaguar will cost you a...

Not much more to add other to say that there's some very sound advice for the OP on this thread. Strong work from one and all :up:

There's something in this. I drive a luxury car but its old and worth very little if I were to try and sell it. But it's immaculate and most people - men and women - seem to like it more than a much newer car that might cost 10 times its value. In other words, having a bit of style and taste helps.

It doesn't really matter if it's your fault or not, you are where you are. You have to decide whether you take her back but you need to realise that it is highly likely that she had a fling with her ex when your relationship broke down. It is what it is, but I don't think I'd accept it.
