Default I think I might be having a midlife crisis...

at 37...

I have just joined a karate class.. Apparently it is only 3 years to black belt if you train 2 times a week! Loads of ladies there too.. all the black belts are women..(well, a few blokes, but many ladies!)..

37 sounds about mid-life, so it's all good

All the black belts are women! If I start reporting that I am staring at female arses then Broadshoulders might have a mild heart attack! lmao!

There are plenty of guys there actually - all shapes and sizes and all ages.. but only a couple of male black belts.. perhaps women in general stay for the whole course and blokes tend to give up when the going gets tough.... aye? aye??...
