How funny. I was out with my husband the other night and a beautiful young woman got to the door ahead of us. It was a door and then another door. He opened the first door for her then entered ahead of me to open the nex door for her. The first door slammed in my face as he let her in. I just stood there and stared at them. Saw the woman later in the restaruant as I went to the restroom and we had a big laugh.

The first thing I think is that they believe they look younger than they are and will be upset if I guess their age or guess older. I never answer this question.
I'd feel a lot better if my acquaintances weren't so hung up on looks! I'm 52, I LOOK 52, and God loves me just the same as he did when I looked 25. Aren't you proud of your age? I definitely am. It took me 52 years to get here!!!
Yes. It also rubs me the wrong way when women ask me questions about their weight. One of my sisters does that to me all the time. Why do women have to ask me questions that don't have a right answer.

Looks are deceiving because a forty year old can look fifty five and a sixty year old can look 45. I know, I work in cosmetic dentistry daily as a dentist who gives people beautiful smiles. We routinely see old folks who look young and vice versa. We can help those who want to reverse the aging of the oral enviornment...lips, teeth, gums, jaw line...be more beautiful, younger, more vigorous, more masculine, more feminie, etc. its all in the eye of the beholder what is valued. Many people just want to look "age appropriate", not older than they really are in their dental situation. A pretty smile is priceless and ageless!

oh, lookie, lookie an advertisement.
Nah, just kidding. I just had to visit an endodontist (if I even spelled it correctly) , and had to have gum work. Never underestimate your dental health. It plays an overall role an your medical health. Flossing is a very necessary step in preventing bacteria from plaquing up your teeth.
Please don't ask anyone how old you look because you are putting them on the spot. They already know they have to guess younger than they think you are anyway.

LOL - I am 55 and when I'm asked how old I am, I usually respond "63".
"Damn - you look a lot younger; I would have never guessed you were that old!" is the typical response.
So, if you don't want to give your actual age - go higher....not lower.

I am 57. I have never lied about my age. After having breast cancer over 8 years ago each birthday is a gift.
(just don't ask me how much I weigh!!)

I wouldn't be 20 again even if someone paid me! I'm more "comfortable in my skin" than I ever was; I'm old enough to know better and young enough to enjoy riding the grocery cart out to my car (I'm older so "they" can't tell me not to....). When someone (usually the boys in my classes; the girls don't seem to care) asks me my age, I simply look at them and answer, "No, your rear end does NOT look fat in those jeans." No smile, just a straight face. The look on their faces (every single time) is priceless!
