I'm 40 and the people who know me say I don't look 40....I look young etc....but for example I was getting my hair cut and we got on to the topic of the high school I went to. He asked when I graduated and thought I might know have graduated with his wife. He then says she graduated in 1988. So that means he though I was about 45. Another time I was getting acrylics and I said I hadn't gotten them since i was about 25. She said back in then (in the early 90's) they used different products. So that mean she must have thought I was closer to 50. Another example is younger people comparing me to their mom (wright struggles, covering gray hair). I guess that people who tell me I look young are lying.

A lot of people don't think about age when there BSing. There just passing the time.
In this day and age 50 is very young. :lol:

Yeah, and that dress doesn't make you look fat either.
Now put it back in the closet, and stop borrowing your preteens clothes. :biggrin:
I kid, I get the same, I have no gray hair at 60, so some think I am much younger, while those that know me claim I dye my hair. :lol:
Vanity went out the window 20 years ago, I will never dye my hair, I just don't give a damn what others think, and you shouldn't either, just embrace your age and enjoy yourself.
I know it's different for women, in that there are a lot of insecure catty bitches out there looking to make themselves feel better.
You have to be more like men, where a fat bald guy with an ass crack and beer belly exposed, can strut down the street thinking "He's all that".
Yeah, I've seen them, yeah, we laugh, but somehow in their minds they are cool, so I guess it's all about accepting who you are and moving forward.
Yes it does suck that Solar has really no gray, unless he grows out his beard.
People have always thought I am younger than my years. Just this last year I decided to let the gray come through. I was getting tired of having to dye it every 6-8 weeks. I found a great hairdresser who has been working with me to grow it out and blend it through.
Age is just a number to me these days. For me it is all about how I feel and I feel pretty damn good.

That a girl. :woot:
We're all 17 inside.
Count your blessings. If I shaved my bears, I looked like I belonged in high school into my late 20's.
Then I went bald, also in my late 20's!
That as no reason to be at odds about your age. I get that stuff still. The best ones are, oh you're to young to have grey hair, may I see your ID?
Your not supposed to be able to do that. The list goes on.
Just enjoy it all. There is no cookie cutter rules for how we are supposed to look, feel, or act and do.
Just smile and say thank you or raise a Maleficent eyebrow and say bless your little heart.

Tough to enjoy being bald before age 30!

Knew someone a long time ago with that kind of thing.
She's the one whom taught me not to care what other people thought.
She always had that air about her that oozed I have it, it doesn't have me.
Wasn't easy by any means she said. :popcorn:
