[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

Well PP, the darker the skin, the less you show age. I would venture a guess here that you do not look your age, and that OP with olive skin also does not look her age.

I do find the friend I have who is 40 and looks every bit of 45, to be completely hysterical when she says she looks early 30's. No honey, I'm sorry, but having fair skin and light hair isn't your friend right now...at all.

All this age discussion is interesting, but it wasn't started with a direction of being happy with how you look. OP was getting a weird vibe from the people in the doctor's offices, and we were all trying to figure out why. People did chime in that they look around at the older women in the waiting rooms with them and wonder what their story is, but then the conversation came about that of 2 women who are both early 40's, one could look much younger and so would that women be getting the same vibe? The question was, is it just that OP looks her age or that "looking her age" really looks older because we're all so jaded these days with all the plastic surgery people can get.

Age is subjective and it's really none of anyone's business why someone at a certain age may choose to pursue motherhood is really what it boils down to. But we still don't know if this is why OP is getting the weird vibe. We're all assuming it's age, but it could also be concern for higher stats on pregnancy loss because of her age.
