Do you know someone who never seems to age?

[zanne]

I ran into someone yesterday that I hadn't seen in 20 years. We were both 35 the last time we saw each other. He didn't recognize me at first, because I look like an old troll. He doesn't look ANY different, except that he's acquired muscle mass because he's been working out. Sometimes I get so pissed off at God! It isn't fair and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

1. Check the painting in his closet

I bet it ages instead.

[zanne]

2. HAH!

I love it.

[BarenakedLady]

3. I've heard from people

that I don't age much.

Of course, I see the lines, the saggy skin, etc.

Last week a college student (ok we can blame youthful ignorance) pegged me at about 28. I told her to add 10 years to that. I have good genes, it isn't anything I do except moisturize.

Ok, that is my vain post for the millennium. kthnxbai.

4. Not personally, but...

Dick Clark is 78...

7. Dick Clark probably had 78 facelifts....nt

[Xipe Totec]

9. That's not a dimple on his chin, that's his belly button nt

[zanne]

12. That's cute. nt

[coffeenap]

5. My kid--he just turned 18 and looks 14. (Poor guy...)

I guess when he is 60 he'll look 40??? (P.S. Dick Clark has now officially aged. We met when my kid was on one of his shows; he had recently suffered a stroke, but was still working hard as ever!)

6. Bea Arthur and Steve Martin have always looked perpetually 65 years old...

Anyone else think so?

[Blue Diadem]

8. I know two.

One is a former SIL, my best friend. She's 8 yrs older than me, just celebrated her 60th bd and doesn't look a day past 45. I look older than her, my hair began graying when I was in my late 30's.

Another is a friend of my daughter. He's two years younger than I am, honestly..looks like a kid. When I first saw him from a distance I thought he couldn't be much beyond 20. When he's up close, he looks at the most early 30's.

I don't know about the gene thing..my Mom looked younger than I do when she passed at age 78. Maybe I got my Dad's side. She had very few gray hairs and very few wrinkles. All the nurses used to remark about her youthful appearance.

[texanwitch]

10. Me.

I will soon have my 54th birthday but look to be 35.

I have always looked younger, when I was in my 20's I look like a teenager.

Now that I can get some discounts no one believes my age without proof.

[zanne]

11. Yeah, yeah. Rub it in. nt

[Fox Mulder]

13. I'll be 26 in a few months and I don't look a day over 16.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[DarkTirade]

18. I couldn't grow a beard until about the age of 23, so I was the same way.

Although I was kind of insulted when I didn't get carded at the local grocery store here... until I realized it was because my grandma was the one paying for the groceries, not me. :P

[Fox Mulder]

19. I still have a hard time trying to grow a beard.

It takes me two weeks to grow an almost beard.

[DarkTirade]

24. Yeah, that's about where I'm at.

I've still got patches that don't come in. But around 23 it finally transitioned from scraggle to a very light patchy beard. And since then I've gone from having a '5 o'clock shadow' (not really a shadow for me, just scraggle, but you know what I mean) in about two weeks to getting it in about a week now. :)

[Jade Fox]

14. My grandfather....

looked the same when he died at 94 as he did when I first knew him as a 50-year-old. :shrug:

[SarahB]

15. Apparently my husband and I.

People regularly think I'm in my early 20's (I'm 35) and he's almost 40, but doesn't look a day over 30. We're very lucky. The chanting and human sacrifices seem to be paying off. :thumbsup:

[Lyric]

16. Yes. ThinkBlue1966.

She's 41, but nobody ever wants to believe it.

[lizerdbits]

17. One of my uncles is mid-50's

and refuses to date women over 35 or act like an adult. Does that count?

[lame54]

22. hey I resemble that comment

I'm in my mid fifties and refused to marry anyone over 45 (hubby is 41 lol).
I think we are a good match tho.

20. I think that person might be me.

Recently I've gotten back in touch with two people that I knew in high school. Both of them, seperately, told me that according to the recent pictures I've sent them, I don't look like I've aged at all. I'm 33, so it's been about 15 years since high school. :-)

Now, I've gained 50 lbs since age 18, but I think there is nevertheless a measure of truth in what they said. I work as faculty on a college campus and am mistaken for an undergrad on a weekly basis. I think I just have good skin. It might also help that I've never been one for outdoor activities and I live in a very overcast area of the country, thus, no sun exposure to cause wrinkles. I also have never worn much makeup, and I've noticed that women who wear a lot of makeup often seem older than they actually are. I also have good genes except for the whole metabolism thing.

However, I don't have a picture in my house that is aging instead of me. I think I'm just lucky.

My husband is the same way - he is 37 and got carded regularly until just a year or two ago. I used to get carded for cigarettes into my late twenties, until I quit smoking.

[Maine-ah]

21. I'm almost 34

most people think I'm about 21 or younger. I posted a pic in the self portrait thread.

[AlCzervik]

23. yeah my husband, he lost 25 pounds and started lifting weights and he looks

like he's about 35 tops, he's 43 and he looked 50, he's changed man and damn he looks fine.

[Rowdyboy]

25. Isn't it cool? After 10 years together I lost 45 pounds and my guy lost 20....

He's 58, I'm 53 and we both act like we're 40ish. Life is good.....

[zanne]

26. Thanks for all of your "I look very young" responses.

Why don't you just come over here and KILL ME!:cry:

[AirmensMom]

27. Does it count

that I USED to look young for my age, but I've aged in dog years this year? :shrug: :cry:

[zanne]

29. Well, it helps a little....

But it all depends on why. Have you had a hard time this year? I hope you're OK.

[AirmensMom]

37. It's been a year from hell ...

and continuing. Major water leak in the new house today. :cry:

But thanks. :hug:

[momophile]

28. I've got a girlfriend who is nearing 50

and she looks the same as when I met her 9 years ago. and she's gorgeous. and wears hip jeans. grrrr....

[Phillycat]

30. Well, me.

I'm 35 and I still get carded for cigarettes (you have to be 18 to smoke).

On the other hand, alcoholism, cancer, and heart disease all run in my family. So the genes might make me young-looking, but they'll kill me eventually. :D

[bikebloke]

31. I'm one

I've always been mistaken for being younger. But the illusion may pass. Year-around blonde is starting to come in my mop.

[Breeze54]

32. Plastic surgery does wonders, doesn't it?

:P Maybe your friend had some and isn't telling you! I'm in the same boat as you and although
people tell me I look young for my age, I really don't believe them when I look in the mirror and

see a stranger.... :(

:hug:

[Maraya1969]

33. Maybe he's had work done.

[Roon]

34. my ex

[IndianaJones]

35. I'm 36 and get carded regularly for alcohol and about 1/3 of the time for cigs. nt.

[dolo amber]

36. I got carded for cheap crappy beer at a 21 & over event held by

my husband's company last week...by a 22 yr old looking douchebag. I'm 40. :eyes:

He was "cool" enough to tell me if I slunk away down the stairs not in view of his supervisor he'd let me "get away with it."

[New Earth]

38. this guy that I like

he's almost 40 and still looks like a baby

:(
