Can I be 30 yet without looking like I'm 30?

Same goes for all the other guys out there. Trying to find a guy via house beerpong parties is a HORRIBLE idea btw.

1. I am female, but I looked 18 until I hit 32.

It's been downhill from there. I have aged about 40 years in the last 6 years...inside and out.

8. Well I look like I'm in my late twenties

I've always looked older because I've always had facial hair, I do not have a baby face, and I'm 6'5". At least I can hide my early balding pretty damned well.

2. I think this is all in your DNA

Or it is how I see it.

3. I have clothes older than you are.

4. Probably the most childish aspect of the ego is its demand for a facade of eternal youth

6. Learn to grow old gracefully.

Accept the cards you're dealt.

9. Old age is a disease for all intents and purposes

How can seeing one's body deteriorate, literally waste away bit by bit not be traumatic? Specially to our coddled, privileged Western sensibilities.
Many have tried to romanticize the process but there's nothing beautiful about it. Just pain, discomfort and the constant reminder that one will soon enough cease to exist.

I am not saying we humans are rational beings in any sense but the issue goes well beyond "ego".

5. Sure. You look like 50 now.

Just kidding, just kidding. :rofl:

..........too good an chance to pass up.

7. In my experience, when one is 30 one looks about 45.

10. stay fit, don't smoke, get rest

you'll be ageless.

I am ancient evil lizard but I look fresh as a daisy and still get carded.

11. Yes, with a little ass fat to your cheeks and lips and

you'll look divine. :P
