I'm well past mid life crisis and don't give a fark anymore about wild swinger parties. I'm too busy working on my 24x7 inflight life now.

If I show any signs of midlife crisis, take me out back, tell me that there'll be duckies and bunnies, and we'll live off the fat of the land, and then put a bullet in the back of my head.

Don't worry, the Club Med in mega-tourist destination Port Saint Lucie, Florida, is still open!!

Who wouldn't want to lounge next to the beautiful brown-watered North Fork of the Saint Lucie River?? It's heaven on Earth!!

I resemble that guy in the mirror, but I can't afford Club Med.
 
2012-01-30 11:24:55 AM
I actually stayed at that club-med. It was ok -- beautiful surroundings though.

Hey Subby, it's only a crisis for those people who can't tolerate my shaved-head, goatee'd, athletic 47-year-old sex machine mojo self sexin' up the swingers' beach. Ain't no crisis for me. Nossir.

Goddamn smart phones, now that shiat's a crisis. They bewilder and confuse me. Why you need all that hoo-hah in a phone.

I don't get it, haven't Thailand, DR, etc. always been the better destinations for such men?
 
2012-01-30 11:55:09 AM
I've been to a couple Club Meds and haven't seen any of the swinger action you're talking about.

Am I perhaps out of uniform?

I usually wear these at the beach (at least the cut, not necessarily the colour):

I see there's some mid life "bro fist" fist bumping going on here. Good to see, good to see...

& I don't know who the hell those "Low T" ads are aimed at, but it sure ain't us, no Sir.

"... balding, hairy-backed men hoping to get invited to a swinger party as they wander about the beach sucking down pina coladas while in the full throes of a mid-life crisis." Could you be a little more specific, Subby?
 
2012-01-30 12:10:18 PM
I love Club Med!

/Oh - you got me.

mightybaldking: I've been to a couple Club Meds and haven't seen any of the swinger action you're talking about.


Same here. In fact, there were very few people over 40 there. I guess they got a reputation from days long gone.

You don't. I picked up one of the Palm Treos a few years back, and I only ended up using it for texting, calls, and occasionally saving notes when I don't have paper on me.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Of course you don't. Same as most of the stuff you own. First world problems, and all that. That said, I used to think smart phones were a completely waste of money but I really like having mine. I can read Fark threads on the bus.

Fear not WASPs: Sandals still there to give you your sterile and boring "all inclusive" rip off. We understand your need to only interact with approved natives in a perfectly controlled environment.

I choose to laugh at this headline instead of cry.

Roc Brasiliano: Thai

Club Med attracts consenting adults.

Guys going to Thailand and the Dominican Republic aren't into that sort of thing.

Pollexter: Fear not WASPs: Sandals still there to give you your sterile and boring "all inclusive" rip off. We understand your need to only interact with approved natives in a perfectly controlled environment.

I'm no WASP; I'm not from New England, luckily. Most of the people I met at Club Med weren't from the US at all. I rather liked the controlled environment. No muggings or sleeping in a tent were bonuses. They should have advertised the apparent fact that they are a little free with the sexy time, that might have made the trip even more enjoyable.

After reading the headline I realized that at 43 years of age I have never once had a Pina Colada and don't even know what is in them.

*Googledy*

Bleh. Sounds like a half-arsed fruit salad.

Camper Van Beethoven must be thrilled.

At Hedo, single guys might as well clang their bells and yell 'unclean'.

A revival of sorts is in its early days with new owner Peter Bond planning a $36 million six-star resort on Dunk while Keppel is waiting for Federal Government approval for redevelopment.

The Oatley family has spent $350 million since taking over a rundown Hamilton Island in 2003, which now is doing strong business. Bedarra also has been sold and is expected to be redeveloped.

---

But, according to the industry, an estimated 3500 tourism jobs were lost in Queensland last year and the industry wants Federal Government assistance.
