Do you look your age?
The recent balding and greying thread got me thinking about how old you look.
I had weekend away which was a sort of reunion with old friends. The group ranges from late thirties to early forties. Looking at a group picture its hard to believe everyone is within a 5 year age range. Some guys look 30 and other guys look like they could be the dads of the younger looking guys.
Id say balding or greying hair is one of the lesser things that make you look old. Some bugger things:
-bad hair with whatever hair you have can age you
-weight gain can add 10 years. Being fit and trim with a flat stomach can take 10 years off. Good posture helps as well to keep you from looking like youre gonna need a cane soon
-outdated clothing. Some guys look like they got hand me downs from their dads
-yellow teeth
-bad bags under the eyes
Anyone ever get mistaken for being in a way different age group? Getting IDed for booze at 40? Getting asked if youre eligible for a seniors discount at 40?
