Am I too old to be here at 77?

[flicka]

A couple of private messages have me contemplating this question. I'm old enough to be Gran to most of you! But let it be known, the pleasure of cross dressing is just as great, despite the years, and may the Lord grant me many more of them!

Another thought, while I'm at it .... Does my new lifestyle offend? For those not in the know, my SO is a male, in a relationship which started just over a year ago. This has been well documented in an early posting.

I like being here, sharing with you, tossing in the occasional opinion .... for what they are worth; reading your opinions and advice to those girls with problems.

Love to you all, have a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy, Blessed and Prosperous New Year
Flicka

age is just an indication of when you were born It has no material affect in what you want to do

Hi Flicka.

Please talk sense woman a 77-year-old Australian Sheila is just about in her prime. She should be able to get up at dawn, sheer 100 sheep, bring a smile to 3 or 4 men’s faces, do the washing, clean the car all before going home and cooking a full fry up for breakfast for her SO

But seriously, you are as young as you feel age is just a number. You must be a young 77 as you can use a computer and the Internet. So relax and enjoy yourself here keep reading the posts and add your comments gained from your vast experience on life.

As for your lifestyle, well as long as you are happy with it everyone else should be. After all it is nothing to do with anyone other than you. So go enjoy yourself girl bring a smile to your SO and your face over the festive season.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a lovely and enjoyable New Year. The only thing I will tell you to do is to keep visiting this site for many more Christmases to come.

[Tristen Cox]

You are one of us and have been since you came here. I couldn't imagine it any other way. I've no less love for you than any of the other ladies here, so keep posting ;) and a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Flicka!

*BIG HUGS*

Hi Flicka, I'm certainly glad you are here. You are never to old to enjoy life, have fun and be with others that share your interest. Welcome and I have great interest in reading what you have to say.
Merry Christmas,
Vickie

Flicka, age is not a factor. I have learned quite a few things from you. Your posts are are very well thought out. I do not see age when I read your posts, I only see Flicka, a beautiful and warm person.
As far as you having a male partner. You know what I think of this. You have made a loving choice in your life. IT only matters to you, who you love. I am like you, I love a man. I need to here your experiences, I here so little of this side of crossdressing.
I know this will sound mushy,, but I need you here. We have a similar life, and I need to hear from people with similar ideas.
Age and sexual preferences are not a factor in leaving. You are most welcome here, in fact I would miss you dearly if you left.
The only thing we can argue about is our different styles of dressing, and this is such a minor difference, everyone has their own style of dress.
I was on this forum just before you came. I felt a little bit different because I was gay. Then I read your lovely intro with your partner and it made me feel less alone. This is why you should stay, I need you here.
Love Amelie

Flicka what part of these private messages made you ask the question as to if at 77 you are too old to be on this forum, was it the fact that the people who PM'd you were a lot younger?

You are most certainly not too old and your input here as Amelie says is important and informative, that being so lrt's lay to rest the notion of you being too old.

Lifestyles are choices and the fact that your new partner is male isn't a problem, in fact it shouldn't be an issue with anybody. You described wonderfully in another thread what brought you both together, it's quite clear how you feel for each other and that's all that matters. To be honest if anyone made reference to anothers sexual orientation in a derogatory they will get the wrong end of my tongue. My ex is a lesbian and I will not hear a bad word said against her.

You end by saying you like being here and chipping in your views so Flicka long may that continue.

May you and yours have a wonderful holiday period.

Love Julie J

Too old, are you kidding? Not with those legs!

Seriously, you are an inspiration to us all. I have always suspected that as guys get older and their testosterone starts to wane, it becomes easier to pass as a woman. Besides, I know that I look much older as a guy than I do as a girl, what with a wig to give me a full head of dark hair and some makeup tricks. For me, dressing is like a fountain of youth, and I have a spring in my step when I'm all dressed up with someplace to go. Ask Windy (http://snurl.com/askwindy)

Hi Flicka.
If you check my profile I'm not that far behind you as to birth date but I only feel about 35 and that is a womans prime so I am told so don't ever think you are too old to be here, we are all here for the same reason to share our emotions and our feelings, and damn that is great.
These long nails have to go I am having a h_ll of a time typing with any accuracy or speed.LOL

[Stephanie Brooks]

Are you too old to be here Flicka?!

Absolutely not! As long as you can put text to the forum, you're still young enough to participate. :D Happy Holidays, and glad you're here!!!!!!!!!!!

[LauraB]

Dearest flicka

I would like to echo the words and thoughts of all the other Girls here.

I would not have thought you to be 77 But like Amelie i have read all the post you have placed on the forum. I find them to be thoughtful, well considerd and always good sound advice. You are a valuable part of our community and a good friend to us all. The fact that you admit (those legs deny this) to being 77 is of no consequence to anyone. When i was still a boy (both age and gender) we had in my upper school common room a legend that said "there is no bar to hope"

That is true for all us girls that we might hope to be as well informed and as lovely a girl as you are, that is all that could ever matter.


Oh by the way can i now call you Gran

LOL

Lots and Lots of Love

Laura

[Steffie-Lee]

Too bad you are on the other side of the world, I would love to meet you. I am 63 years young, still bold enough to date men. And This is a REAL Picture of my face, I would to see one of you :)

[DonnaT]

At least you've got 77 years http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_8_201.gif of life experiences to share! I've only got 49 and forgot most of them :D

And no, I'm not offended by your lifestyle. That would make me a hypocrite for gosh sakes :eek: How could I tell others not to be offended at mine, if I found offence in yours?

So stick around a few more years at least! :)

[Celeste GG]

Flicka you are a testament then there is hope for us all yet.

The Seahorse Crossdressing Club in Melbourne is celebrating it's 30th year this year. There are lots of experienced Life members there, who would be your age. They are having a Hollywood night Dinner Dance to Celebrate in June....

Glamour... red Carpet... Beautiful starlet gowns....

You MUST come! :p

[KewTnCurvy GG]

Nope! And you need to stay:)

I have a lot of air miles....Flicka dressed to the 9's, Celeste in her red thigh-highs...hmmm. Sorry Flicka, I think I missed something...not sure why age would be a consideration?? I am fairly new to CDing, but I have done some research, and I haven't run across any eveidence that CDing must come to a halt at age 75, or 69 or 59 or whatever. You have great legs and have the courage to live your choice. Good for you. Buying shoes is always therapuetic. wenda.

[Sharon]

Flicka,
Age and sexual orientation should be the last things any of us consider about one another. How hypocritical that would be!!
You're as welcome as anyone is, and just between you and me, more so than many :) . I just hope I'm as youthful as you are when I attain your age (God willing!).
Love,
Sharon

[Rikki]

Dear Flicka,

I will just repeat what all the other girls have already stated over and over. You're never too old to live as feels good. And as for your life stile, that is between the two of you and don't matter what I nor anybody else thinks of it, just be happy. Some of us girls will always need your input, that is what this is all about, helping the other CDers. I am new to this site, but have enjoyed reading your post and all the others. I have learnt a lot in the few weeks that I had lurked, before signing up and some a that was from you that I learnt, so you can't go,.
Love you Rikki

[Marlene4a]

You are not old Flicka;
I am not too far behind you. Right around Steffie-Lees age.

However, I know some people that are 40, and older than you are.

[racquel]

No.love you and enjoy your posts.don't matter who you love.we love you.huggs.

[AnnaMaria]

I'm not sure why anyone would care how old any of us are for any reason other than if that person was looking for a date. And since you have already said that you are attached that means that you are off the market. And as far as your sexual preference I see no reason why anyone should be offended by that. I mean really. Look at us. A bunch of men who dress as women as a result of a deep desire to be more than we are. How could we of all people look down our noses at anyone. When the thing that most of us crave the most is acceptance. How can we expect others to accept our lifestyle if we can't accept others lifestyle choices. It sounds to me like an unexceptable double standard.

I see no reason for you not to continue to grace us with your presence for as long as God will allow us to enjoy your presence in our family. And really if you think about it that is really what we are becoming. The more we express ourselves to each other the closer we become and the more like a family we become.

Flicka as far as I am concerned you are always welcome and the day that we atart to make decisions about who we allow in and who we don't is the day that I will be looking for a new group to join. But I dought very much that a day like that will ever come.

huggs

Thank you ladies, for your overwhelming support and encouragement; it is wonderful to feel so wanted and needed by my peers. Your responses are so heartwarming and I confess that I became quite emotional, verging on teary at times at the sincere sisterly warmth expressed by so many.

We embark on a long drive today, across the middle of Australia, to spend Christmas with family; which virtually means "Goodbye Flicka", though a limited wardrobe, nail polish, jewellry - and the vital wedding ring!- will be on hand when opportunities enable her brief reincarnations!
One might think that 3000 kms of lonely highway - sighting a car every ten minutes or so - would be the obvious opportunity to go en femme, but HE won't let me drive his 4x4 in high heels! Anyway that would lead to distractions, and constant vigilance is required to avoid wandering stock, wildlife (kangaroos, Emus etc) and, at this time of the year, reckless/drunk drivers trying to meet difficult deadlines.

Have a wonderful Christmas all, dear sisters. Love and hugs to everyone
Flicka xxxx

[Julie]

Flicka, everything expressed in this thread was sincerely meant, you really are a wonderful person.

Have a safe journey, enjoy the holiday period and return to us as soon as possible.

[Ariel_TV]

Hi Flicka :)

I find it cool to see people of all the different age groups , it adds more diversity and we are all about diversity ;)

Have a nice trip *hugs*

[flicka]

Well, I've arrived home to spend Christmas and new Year (I still call it Hogmanay betimes, for the benefit of the Scots girls!). No more dressing for a while - the last feminine trace was in removing my toenail polish last night, which I have worn for so long - lest I forgot and joined the family members in the pool!

Having had time to peruse all the posts I thank you , all you wonderful ladies, for the loving and encouraging expressions of your support; quite exhilarating to receive so many positive responses - not one negative! Where did I get such a funny idea from in the first place? I guess it was a lack of confidence upon finding myself amonst such a polished, well groomed and well informed group of ladies. I tried to make a huge leap from a very basic CD-er into a passable matron - but I lacked the fairy with the magic wand! As some have commented, my legs, and physical size fit the bill, but I don't yet have a wig (it will be a silver/grey old lady's one when I do!) and MY make up attempts are ludicrous. My partner is enthusiastic and took the trouble to consult with a cosmetician. He applies it well but we just haven't had the time of late. When I'm next "done to the 9's" there will be photos, I promise. I'm prepared to be dubbed "Gran" but I shan't mind at all and, indeed, will accept it as a compliment; it will indicate that I passed the test!

Loving Christmas thoughts to you all
Hugs and kisses
Flicka

[Julie]

Flicka, I'm pleased that yourself and your partner have arrived safely.

No one here is going to dub you 'Gran' so do not fret.

Enjoy the holidays.

Love and best wishes

Julie J
