[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 and will be 45 in December and this thread is scaring me😫[/quote]

I'm turning 44 next week and they said all this about turning 25 and 30 and 40. Sure, we are aging but a few lines and droopy bits are not the end of the world. I was a stunner and had a lot of fun when I was younger. I'm ready for the next stage, look forward to having kids in high school and eventually college (mine are very young still), refocusing on my marriage, friends and career... What truly scares me is my parents getting sick and dying, but I am hoping for at least another good decade with them. The lines and sag you can fix if they really bother you. Don't let the rest of life pass you buy because you're 10lbs overweight or have jowels.[/quote]

Ah, and I thought that too at 44 because I still looked young and healthy. :)[/quote]

I do think aging hits people that were very attractive/beautiful harder.  You notice the social clues much more and the attention you used to get.  I say that as a STEM professional, athlete that always had much more going than just looks.  But, I know some people that look pretty much the same at 45 that they did at 25 because they looked 45 when they were 25.  It's hard to contemplate and easy to say it doesn't matter when you don't know any difference.[/quote]

Yes, I hear you.  I've never felt pretty and have always been one of those well-rounded types you referenced.  But recently I looked back at pictures from my teens, 20s, 30s, and even early 40s, and I am struck.  I looked way better than I thought at the time.  It feels almost like I wasted something I [briefly] had.[/quote]
