Do you look older than your age?

[georgegeorgia]

Be honest please !

 

I actually was watching a You Tuber who recently came back to Pattaya after a number of years absence.

 

I always thought he was around 70ish ,turns out he is 63 

 

Same with another passed on Pattaya YouTuber who said he was 59 ,I though at least 69

 

What about you , do you look older or younger 

[scubascuba3]

I look younger, always have so did my parents, started looking their age at 70.

 

 

[save the frogs]

genetics + diet - I think both are factors

plus if you worked yourself to death, that might age you faster

 

[retarius]

No, I'm 71 and could pass for 55. 

[nikmar]

not bad for 55. My missis says Im still handsome!!

[sipi]

I looked young until I hit 50. Then I aged 20 years in the next 10.

Much like Thais.

[OneMoreFarang]

No, younger. I guess not having grey hair is part of it.

And I avoid stress, take it easy. That definitely helps not to get old too soon. 

[observer90210]

Genetics play a role, no doubt. Over exposure to sun also can play a role in premature aging of the skin.

 

But not as much as the inner mental state of the subject. A sour and bitter poster individual 😚 will obviously look the part. A subject with a childish mind, happy, foolishly nice to all,  stays away from toxic people, ignores all the sh@[t going on all over the world,  no drugs or excess booze, who is not afraid of being silly n'stupid, who does not take himself/herself to seriously, and who knows a great plastic surgeon,  will obviously look younger and be far more fun to hang out with to tease the fine ladies all around. 🤣

It's obviously also a question of the perspective.

Years ago, I considered people who are 60 and older old.

Now I have friends, who I mostly know since many years, who are in their 70th and I still don't consider them old.

No fear of me ever working myself to death, maybe that's why I am so handsome now. 😄

[expat_4_life]

I'm thinking I look young for my modest 71 years.

However, in recent years I'm starting to feel older than I am. 👨‍🦯

Same me no grey hair, where you can see it, and a full mop of hair, a falang once asked me if I dye my hair

When I first signed up as a blood donor in Thailand I was 63. The Red Cross lady said she couldn't believe it! Yes, I know that can be taken both ways. However, as this was in rural Thailand, she could have been meaning that someone aged 63 is so often on their last legs that blood donation wouldn't be an option for them? 

[brianthainess]

I only look old in high season, in low season, I am sexy man, according to the bar girls.

[Will B Good]

Girls in Nana say I look 45 (I'm 68)......they wouldn't lie would they?

[Celsius]

Asking this on a Thai forum where everyone has been lied by bargirls.

Younger.  Significantly. People have generally missed my actual age by upward of a decade for most of my adult life 30s and onward.

Seems to me genetis does contribute.

 

My mum died when she was 99, still quite active / agile and still writing well accepted content for an education website.

 

My dad died at 70 from a massive stroke, looked about 50. Previous health checks never indicated any danger of stroke. (Prior to the stroke dad had no real health problems and his parents had very few health problems, no history of stroke). 

 

I look about 10 years younger than my age <so folks tell me> and I regularly get check ups always telling the doctor about my dad dying from a sudden unexpected massive stroke. Check up Dr's always say no sign of stroke.

 

We wait and see. If I die of stroke I'll send a note to AN.

Not just bargirls, my friends are also very kind!

[StayinThailand2much]

Look way younger, and my physical health is 20 years or so better. Can't complain, if it weren't for hair getting grey, and knees a bit weaker (partly due to more weight) since the pandemic.

[cdemundo]

I am 68 years old, but I have the appearance of a 67 year old.

That  sounds like the beginning onset of industrial disease.

Another delusional thread 

[animalmagic]

Years ago, I was mistaken for my father's brother, and then for my mother's husband!

I am happy to report I am now starting to age my look. 😊

[hellohello123]

Every Farang with a thai wife gloats about

-how young and fit they are  for their age

- how much younger their wife looks compared to her age

- how they have a thai wife
