I used to be pretty good looking, and now I'm not.

In my 20s, and even in my 30s, I was pretty attractive. I was fit, had a nice jawline, good skin, and good hair. I was a club kid.

Now I'm in my mid 40s, 70 lbs overweight, bald, and it's literally hard to imagine a new woman being attracted to me.

Don't get me wrong. I'm actually a pretty happy person. I have an amazing family and two wonderful boys and I'm doing well in my field. But it's weird to be on this side of the glass.

I was recently in a coffeeshop and the kid behind the counter looked a bit like me at that age. I almost said something to him, but then I thought, what are you going to say? Even if the kid cares *and* believes you, you're just gonna bum him out.

Anyway; not looking for pity or anything. Like I said, I'm happier than I've ever been, but I wonder if anyone else has had that feeling of soft of feeling a native in the land of the lovelies, but being trapped in the body of an alien. If so, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
