[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get a lot of double-takes from bartenders and bouncers, but it might just be that they're more used to checking the ID's of 22-year-olds than 45-year-olds.  [/quote]

:roll: do women really tell themselves this? I can see mistaking 35 for 29, but no way in hell is a 45yo mom going to pass for 22. [/quote]

Agree and I am somebody with olive skin and very fit and I have always been told I look nowhere near my chronological age, but at 48 I certainly don't think anyone would mistake me for 20s-or early 30s.  I do get mid/late 30s--which pushing close to 50 is fine with me.

We were away and at a gym and my husband was teasing me about the 25-year old Fabio hitting on me.  I am clueless about that stuff.  I said maybe he's looking for a sugar momma.

If I compare photos from my late 20s/early 30s (where I look like a child) and now--there is definitely a big difference.  We looked like babies when our first child was born and we were mid-30s---and then people were always guessing me to be 23-25.

I will say appearance from everyone I know (self included) around age 50 really starts to change---even people that look really good and stay super fit definitely begin to look 'mature'.  I will say by then it's less bothersome.  You go through life and begin to experience loss of loved ones and such and just become thankful for those around you and your health.  You realize how superficial it is to be so caught up on appearance and material things.  It just doesn't matter in the end.  Love does.  That in and of itself gives you much more confidence.[/quote]
