[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% of DCUM.  They think they look 10-20 years younger too.

"50 isn't old, I still look like I'm 30! I get mistake for my daughter's sister all the time."[/quote]

Must we get into the tedious attack on the DCUMers who think they look younger? This isn't what this thread is about.

I get it, OP. I'm 57. I FEEL as if I'm in my early 40s. I know the wold thinks of me as old, and I know my kids think I'm practically elderly. But I still listen to current music, and I keep up with most pop culture happenings. My parents never did those things, so maybe that colors my opinion of how old I act. I occasionally wake up in the morning with random aches and pains but am still physically active so hop to working those kinks out.

My contemporaries agree about this not feeling old thing. The whole question reminds me of the closing lines of Color Purple:

“I feel a little peculiar around the children. For one thing, they grown. And I see they think me and Nettie and Shug and Albert and Samuel and Harpo and Sofia and Jack and Odessa real old and don't know much what going on. But I don't think us feel old at all. And us so happy. Matter of fact, I think this the youngest us ever felt.”
