[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Of course you look nearly a decade younger than your actual age.  Every DCUMer does.[/quote]

Yeah, that's pretty funny.  If you look SO young, why in the world are so many people giving you looks and the silent treatment?  Very odd.[/quote]

This is getting to be a long thread so maybe I forgot what I wrote. Did I say strangers give me the silent treatment?  Technicians, OB's and those who do know my age give me the silent treatment.

I have no problem admitting if I did look my age! Two OB's told me they could not believe I was 44. One was theorizing that maybe its because I have olive skin and olive skin doesn't look as if it ages as fast. I assured him that on the inside, though, I was indeed 44. I'm not saying that to flatter myself.[/quote]

OP, I'm black and have gotten told the same thing by various people.  But I know they are just being polite.  Perhaps you do actually look younger.  I just don't get why accomplished women still seem to value themselves on the youthfulness of their appearance so much.  Is it really so terrible to look your age?[/quote]
