I started turning grey at a young age. I used to hate the grey hair until the others started falling out. I suggest you try and be as smart as most women and not dumb like me. Since those grey hairs are starting to show, start fighting back with some color. I wish I had done that years ago.Originally Posted by Delila
60 here and i feel better then i ever have...my brain is the issue..lol....but heck i am enjoying life totally....and karen,you look great!..it's all attitude..
I feel 40. Of course when I was 40 I felt 45 so that is an improvement, right?
Really I am mentally not aging at all (except the forgetting part). I am mentally not aging at all. Did I say that already?
I can still pull of looking younger as long as I don't have to stand or walk. I do pretty well looking 40 when I am sitting in a dark corner

someone just past 31 and a few gray hairs should not feel old. Missing cartilage, hearing loss, presbyopia (sp), arthritis, those will make you feel old.
and besides they invented wax and razors for grey hair.

With all due respect to women, they say a lot of things, and they're not right about all of them. If it were only a "touch of gray", it might be graceful. Baldness is something else. If they themselves suffered more often from that, they might change their views.
I remember when I hit 35 and I simply couldn't run any more. The legs just wouldn't do it. The last couple of times I visited my dad, he asked me to help him carry some stuff that I could carry easily on my own, and which he could have carried with one hand when he was in his prime. I have some photos of him when he was in his late 20's, and when I look him now in his 80's, it's hard to see anything graceful there.
Women really shouldn't tell men what it's like for a man to grow old, to slowly be losing his hair, his strength and his health.
Anyway, I feel fine. And what I love about dressing is that as a middle-aged woman, I feel elegant. I don't know if I look elegant, but that's the way I feel. Sure, I envy the young girls, but what I've got isn't so bad.
Best wishes, Annabelle

Karen, I think you look great. I turned 67 this past March. Retired for over two years now and feel good.
I must admit I feel better in "femm" than I do in "drab". As a man I feel I look old and tired. When I'm
"dressed" and out with the gurls I feel I look younger, feel younger, and much more relaxed.
Less than six months shy of 65 here and feeling great.

[SIZE="4"]A year shy of 70. In drab, I can usually pass for 59. En femme, I can get late 40's. Amazing what you can do with a little paint and plastic hair! Damn turkey neck trips me up though. I'm really happy to be here. The very best time of my life.[/SIZE]

I'm with you there!That's why God invented medical tape strategically placed under the hairline (along with spirit gum adhesive) to help pull those sagging jowls back into place.
I'll be 58 shortly and I think I look in my 40's when dressed. Avoid that sun like a vampire and use plenty of moisturisers!

Turned 60 in February and still going strong. Well my body isn't quite up to snuff but I'm doing fine. My hair is all my own and shoulder length, I have highlights in it which I love. I too pass for a much younger person when dressed. And I feel younger when dressed
