50 plus having more fun!

By Formatted Soul

A group of British scientists at Benenden Healthcare carried out a study showing that the people aging 50 years old and above have more fun, make more friends, and travel more often than those aging 25 years. In addition, the elders, the study revealed, are more active and pays more attention on their enjoyment of life.
According to the study, an elder aging 50 years is likely to spend two evenings out per week with his/her friends whereas a youngster aging 25 years is likely to spend only one evening out per week. In addition, 50% of the elders said in a survey that they focus totally on enjoying life to the fullest whereas only 30% of those in their 20s said that they would enjoy life to the fullest.
The Spokesman of Benenden Healthcare said in a statement to the Daily Express that the study found that elders go for long vacations and travel abroad more frequently than their 20-year-old counterparts.
The spokesman said, "Twenty-somethings get caught in the stresses and demands of a job but in doing so let other parts of their life slip. The over-50s are setting the pace well ahead of younger counterparts. Being 50 is definitely the new 25".

The whole perspective of looking at age has changed. People are trying out new things with confidence and courage, no longer held back by societal inhibitions or expectations. Society too is changing, becoming less judgmental and more accepting than before. Health, fitness and longer life spans have also helped upturn old stereotypes about age.

Vladimir Putin 58 is going to marry 24 years old gymnast Aliva Kabaeva .The French President Nicolas Sarkozy has married Supermodel Carla Brunei who is less than half his age. Not to mention about Mandela…Our desi hunks like Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan and Salman khan are no less enterprising. They say its the mental age that matters in relationships

‘Ageless Body, Timeless Mind’ is the mantra of present day 50 plus people..:) and emphasis is on lifestyle and socializing. At the mature age people have money and they don’t want to spend their old age in a room in care home, they want a good time, a more colorful life ..:)

Simon Cowell(Executive Producer,English , american---Idol) bedded almost 2,000 women.

has claimed that he has had sex with almost 2,000 women.

Simon revealed that during his "good times" he had two women a week.

The multi-millionaire's "good times" ran through the 80s and 90s, up to 20 years, which means he will have racked up the massive "magic number".

But Cowell, 50, was quick to point out he was "not as bad as Russell Brand".

"I like women. I just like them. I like flirting and I like to listen," the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

"Guys will say they fancy girls, but my best friends are girls," he added.

At what age he will stop. Any Qler who can claim more than 2000.

FS, Chocoholic and Soniya meet up for dinner.

FS says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down."

Soniya says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to bed or had just woken up!"

Chocoholic smiles smugly. "Well, my memory's just as good as it's always been, knock wood." She raps the table.

With a startled look on her face, she asks, "Who's there?"

Oh cool, I thought 50 was the new 30 but it turns out it's the new 25! Woo hoo I just lost 5 years!

And since when is a 50 year old considered an "elder"?
