Do you look old?

[Prairie Purrs]

I looked young when I was young, and I look old now that I'm old. All is as it should be. I can't accept the premise that looking one's age is a bad thing once you're past 20 or so, nor do I believe that old faces lack beauty.

You know what i don't think there is anything wrong with making the most of yourself, and i also see nothing wrong with being just yourself, it is entirely a personal thing, if you are comfortable either way that is what matters.

I like to wear make-up , some jewellery, have my hair coloured now and then and dress up a bit, i am more a jeans and jacket type of woman, but i like to add accessories like a scarf to dress myself up, i don't wear high heels, dresses, only own one skirt, but i find nothing wrong with seeing a dressed up woman who takes care of herself, that is her own decision and does not make her superficial either IMO.

As long as one is happy in their own skin, who am i to judge. Each to their own i say.

Probably. I am old.

I know what you mean.
For years, I used to looked much younger than I was, but since I lost so much weight, I think my true age shows up clearly now. A while ago, I stopped smiling when pics of me are taken, because smiling shows my wrinkles... But I think that some of my former classmates look even older.

But Kirsten, smiling makes everyone look better - even if the wrinkles show, the friendliness outweighs them!

I have noticed in the past years a sort of mini trend.
Women who get divorced come in for some botox for several reasons. One they want to start dating and want a little younger look or two they are celebrating their freedom and are now finally doing something good for themselves. Another reason is empty nesters they want a little fresh up. The kids are out of the house and now they can do a bit for themselves men and women.
Men get the botox for job interviews and yes for dating. Just as people whiten their teeth. Women as well a bit of botox and you look rested and ready to tackle that new job.
If you still feel 30 on the inside no harm looking 30 something on the outside.

And of course you can take it to the extreme - like Joan Rivers.

To cheer yourself up, lie down on your back and look UP at your mirror. You will lose ten years Oh, but don't look *down* into that mirror or you gain ten (or more!!) years
