I have never lied about my age. I've always been lucky enough to look younger than my age, altho' when I was young it was the source of much frustration, and then when I was in my 40's and mid 50's everyone thought I was 10 years younger, and now so many people have face fillers, and botox etc.. no-one knows how old anyone is these days by looking at them.. so unlike when I was in my 50's.. no-one expresses surprise when I tell them I'm in my 60's..I presume they just think I must have had ''something done'' to look younger!!
More to the point, in my case, who'd have believed it. My baby brother was dismayed to learn the "old bat" was still alive.
I think being happy in the age a person is at is the ticket to a long life. There are people who spend their early years wishing they were older, then spending their later years wishing they were younger. This seems like a waste of emotional time.
I've never lied about my age. My problem has always been that I look like a kid. I looked 14 years old when I graduated from high school. It was a real hurdle in my career and in my social life. I do not publicly post my real birthday. And while some folks here might keep their ages confidential, there's no guarantee of the accuracy of those that are posted...just sayin'.
Saw a woman at the VA hospital who was on the arm of a smiling veteran. The woman’s face was that of Athena and breasts like Dolly Parton with nary a wrinkle in the cleavage whilst her arms and legs showed the wear and abuse that old age can bring. It was like looking at a segment of Sesame Street whereby one has to see that “one of these things just doesn’t belong here”. Now, does she lie about her age? Dunno, didn’t ask her because after all, a gentleman never asks a woman her age. Is there anything wrong with getting a face stretch, breast enhancements and a tummy tuck? In my opinion, nothing at all. But, at the same time, no matter how much work is done, one’s age will eventually take over and the truth will show so why waste the money? Artificial fixes never last that long and as the skin loses more elasticity (and it will) old age will have it’s way. To me, exercise, diet and keeping the brain healthy are all that is needed and if someone wishes to lie about how old they are to feel better about themselves…..well…..sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. The woman and veteran were both smiling so I guess whatever they are doing works for them. Edit: Oops! My brain was saying ‘lying about age” whilst the topic is Members keeping age confidential. Sorry….
73 going on 74 and damn proud to say so! My face is wrinkle free, but this rest of me could use a total overhaul. Age asking no problem, my weight is harder to admit. I am not big like Fluffy.. but I am mildly chubby
I am 79 be 80 in June still feel great. My mind is still juvenile but not the energy to do the things I can dream up. When I was young I was a real prankster as I get older I still think the same way but not the energy to carry them out
