(As inspired by this thread)

I've been wanting to talk about this for a while; a dating pool that seemed to evaporate overnight, in the early morning of my 60th birthday. I think the change in the first digit of my age has a psychological effect of making me seem much, much older than others who are just a couple years younger than me. Like, a woman who is 57 might have no problem dating a man who's 58 or 59 years old, but 60 is beyond the pale.

That, along with thread after thread after thread of older women blasting all older men for being out of shape, letting themselves go, being low effort, only wanting to date much younger women, sending sexually suggestive messages early on, and the like, makes me feel even more unwanted. I also feel like the sentiment of "I don't need no man" that seems to intensify with age will make my nearly three year post-divorce dry spell permanent.

As with the OP in the /r/datingoverfifty thread, I'm also finding most of the likes I get on Facebook Dating are from women who are in their late 60s through their 70s. I don't get any unsolicited likes from women close to my age (55-63 is my preference), except from women who have limited or no intellectual or aesthetic appeal, or those that live more than a few hours away. (I should move to Long Island, considering I get more likes from women there than where I live.)

The dating pool that's closest in age to me just seems like the smallest. Anyone else, men or women, whose odometer just flipped over to six-zero, feel the same way?

Lancaster Town Board hearing for the first Culver's in New York.

I lost about 75% of my scalp hair, my eyebrows and eyelids, and all my nose hair, over the past couple of years. I started on Litfulo about two and a half months ago. I'm just wondering if my experiences track with others.

Week 2: My mild atopic dermatitis cleared up. I don't feel "grimy" at the end of the day.

Week 4: Velus hair starts to grow back at my eyebrows.

Week 7: Normal eyebrow hair starts to grow back.

Week 8: I caught an ear hair!

Week 9: I'm getting thin gray velus hairs on my scalp, in areas where my hair used to be dark brown. (I'm 60. Before the latest bout with AA, my hair was thick and brown, with gray on the sides.)

Side effect?: My scalp started to feel greasy or oiy.

Week 10: My nose feels tickly. Is hair growing back in deep inside my nose? My eyebrows look kiinda' normal again, but I don't really have eyelashes yet.

Side effect?: Every day, I get maybe two to four small but tough zits, confined mostly to a 1"²/6 cm² area on both cheeks. It takes a lot more pressure to pop them than a "normal" zit. I also found a few little zits on my scalp.
