What Happen's Between 45 and 50?

Tonight we decided to have dinner out.
Its tuesday night and Mazzio's buffet sounds good. Good food, good price! I really don't like the new decor, its very modern and cold, but it will have to do.
I put on my make up and let down my hair. I may see someone I know so I thought that was a good idea!
We got our plates and I sat down in a booth to wait for my turn to go to the salad bar.
As I was waiting I noticed a man with a very large salad, at least 5" high, I kid you not!
I contiued to wait and watch people as the passed our booth, back and forth.
I looked again at the man with the rather large salad. A man early 60's, about 5'4" at the most, and about 190 lbs. You could tell he had probably been taller, but was shrinking with age and things were falling. He had the adorable potbelly to prove it.
He had a lot of hair, which of course was gray, and your basic short 60's cut, oval glasses, white socks with brown loafer's and the classic horizonal striped polo shirt.
I just sat there taking a long look and of course with my thinking problem, my mind began to wonder.
What happens to men between 45 and 50?
He was standing by the buffet with a piece of pizza in his hand, eating it as he waited for something. I thought, oh my word...we start out as nerds, go through a cool phase and somewhere between 45 and 50 we become nerds again!
Was this his kitchen? Why was he eating his dinner standing by the pizza buffet?
I had to laugh! Ninety eight percent of people turn back into nerds and I am in a room full of them.
This was all you can eat buffet night at Mazzio's Pizza and guess what? Yes we just happened to pick the wrong night again! The entire place was full of couples over 70 except us.
THIS IS NOT FURR'S YOU GUY'S! You made the wrong turn.
I didn't know people this age could digest pizza and salad like this!
Polyester pants and pullover blouses everywhere....I guess it happens to women too. Should I give in and become one of them?
I looked again at the little man eating pizza, I guess that's us in 20 years! I saw his cell phone hanging on his belt loop.
Again I ask: What happen's between 45 and 50?
