TaraMaiden2 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 the worst thing, imo, are people who cannot own their real age. it's a flaw, as i see it; needing validation that you still look good and can compete with others who are actually younger. No, it's brilliant! You can still compete for the studs, but your experience tells you how to deal with them! Best of both worlds! Result! a guy recently told me he could pass for 40, but he was 64, and looked 70, honestly. That was my younger brother. He's 96. Oh.... hang on...... ooops.... he was/is clearly deluded. it's nice to have a good opinion of yourself, but your insides are still aging even if your outside looks good. don't live in denial Not necessarily. Due to some non-life-threatening health issues I have, I had a medical a while ago. I may be in my late 50's but medically speaking, I apparently tick all the boxes, health-wise - inside and out - for someone of around 35. Ageing, for anyone depends on a lot of different factors, not just the passing of time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
newmoon Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Ageing, for anyone depends on a lot of different factors, not just the passing of time. if this was true then we'd have more people dying off in their 20s/30s/40s, but the fact that a majority of people do die in older years - 60s-80s tells you it is the passage of time that deteriorates the body. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TaraMaiden2 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I haven't denied it. But the rate and conditions vary according to the general health of the person. If it was all age-dependent, everyone would live until 90, regardless of health.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone thinks they look younger until they meet someone who's actually that age. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Someone can get botox and filler but if they are discontent within themselves it will show through. Looks aren't just the skin on your face, they're your entire body, your demeanour, how you relate to yourself and others etc. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
