Thanks, but you have serious vision issues. Perhaps coke bottle eyewear will help 😀

 

Dude, I can tell that you are from a country where 'light-hearted-sarcasm and humor' is not appreciated. I did say that I was 'joking'.

 

But hey, I'll be sure to take your advice and go out first thing in the morning searching for my new pair of 'coke-bottle' glasses'.

 

Peace and Love

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. 

 

I think everyone one of us moves the goalpost as we age when I was 20 people in there 30's were old .the goalpost kept moving till  now

Yes I know and I got it, I reciprocated with humor😀 lighten up dear friend. Again, thanks for the compliment but if you think I look 45 then you should have your eyes checked 😃😃

[newnative]

Probably younger than my age, due to a full head of brown hair with a bit of gray at the temples.  My father kept his full head of salt and pepper hair until he passed away at 95, so here's hoping . . .

Thanks.

 

I still stand by the 'Fitne' advice...!

After the ex-CIA, ex-Navy Seals, ex-SAS, ex-GsG9, now we have the ex-top models claiming about their bouncing pecks and 6 packs. 😂

 

If you want a DM video just say 😛

You note 6 things, and I'm batting .333 on your list.

 

Former case officer....and I can make my pecs bounce one at a time or both at the same time. When I get cold, sometimes they bounce on their own. Scares the bejesus out of people, as they think it's either a heart attack or I'm auditioning for Aliens 4 and a monster is about to pop out of my chest. It's just way too many push-ups, bench presses and genetics.

 

(Apparently, the more muscles one can control voluntarily---like wiggling ears, flaring nostrils---or in my case bouncing pecs, means one can develop them more. Great dancers and athletes can control a good many of their muscles, due to extensive innervation, which equates to coordination.)

 

As for old looking....I'm probably not like all the other posters here, as it seems everyone looks two decades younger than they are. I can't beat that. Then again, I don't have cataracts, but I suspect many of these guys who 'look' so much younger do have them.

 

If guys are not lifting weights, I guarantee they don't look as young as they think they do. Walking or bicycling---especially in the sun---isn't going to do it. Lack of muscular definition equates to looking older. Rounded shoulders, a slight paunch, turkey gobbler neck...weight training can hold all of that off, but not just cardio. Also, lifting heavy weights for a few reps gets the body to produce both testosterone and HGH, both of which do many things, including making the skin more supple and not look dried out.

Guys have a tendency to think that girlies have similar norms for looks on the opposite gender then we do. Ladies often do not.

 

Girlies look far beyond and deeper inside, considering of course that the chap does pass the mental test and has basic to acceptable looks. The top chancers always with hot girls (normal non working girls)  are often average looking lads, and do not have a Panamera parked outside. Thank god for those with no bodybuilding skills and a Honda parked in the garage.

 

Do not forget that society can more or less accept a 65 year old guy with a 27 year old girl.....but rarely accepts the opposite, no matter in which country. Quite unfair, I agree.

 

Tongues usually wag when a hottie 60 year milf-cougar,  dates a dashing "hansum" 28 year old lad. Unless it's Madonna and even then....

 

Last but not least. The best place to pick up nice girlies  is in a male gay bar 😂. Far less competition guys. Nice girls who have not raised the protective shield barrier and are open to fun that leads to a close-in. Watch out nevertheless not to hit on a ladyboy 🤭

My GF is 21, and she looks two decades younger than me.

 

Does that count?

Alcohol and smoking too. Since I drink alcohol, always have since of legal age, same with cigarettes I probably look older now than my actual age of 71.

You and I are the only posters that admit to looking their age. Interesting. Gotta get me one of those magic mirrors

[Dave0206]

People compliment me on my smooth wrinkle free skin you don't think it's got anything with me like a blown up balloon?

[Sigmund]

I recall this 60 yr old owner of a german run restaurant. On chatting randomly, the dude pushed in at least 3 or 4 times "you know my wife is very young"....man oh man...

This thread is delusional.  98% farangs I see are far from images of fitness.  Pictures of the hansum posters?  Many studies out there confirming most sense they are much  more attractive than reality.  As for me, I'm the true exception and my older wife looks younger than me with a rockin body. Life doesn't suck 🙂

 

Yea... it's the same old story.

 

Just like the one where everyone pretends to be rich in Thailand yet they are crying like babies when asked to show 400k baht in Lao for a visa.

 

Also another amazing fact. Making 50 posts a day between a fitness routine.

Pretending to be rich and giving out against Thais or other foreigners.

Sorry, but never understood why people post some absurd comment towards a topic posted that is quite entertaining to read and react.

At least the OP has things to say. What do you have to say ?

I think his point is that it is delusional  ( he was quoting me).  I Made the statement and still feel the same.   I have got some laughs and find this thread more interesting than most.  The posters as a whole do seem to be delusional.  You must see the Farangs XXX(size) pats but everyone on this thread is fit and handsome.

I’m 68 years old.  People think I’m younger. 
But it usually has to do with genetics and how a person takes care of themselves.  

[Tropposurfer]

Quite the opposite. Lots of people, when they try to guess my age or ask me how old I am they say I'm in my early to mid fifties ... I'm 67 very soon 😊😊😊

All that clean living lol 🤣

Sick from all the salty-ness? nothing stopped you from being awesome too.

I can respect strong athletic looking blokes. I aspire to that, but beer, food and lack of will power hold me back a bit.

 

But body builders with all the pec-flexing just seem a bit odd to me. Still, if it makes you happy. There are much worse hobbies.

yes

what about staying up all night partying 3 nights a week AND doing loads of drugs and alcohol?

lead singer of Van Halen David Lee Roth seems to have aged badly.

wonder if it's partying and drugs.

Righto, yes i'm the athletic/low body fat version. Body weight exercises are my staple.

 

I respect the effort bodybuilding takes, but most guys then just look like fat blokes when they get older. The really serious ones are usually doing all kinds of bodily abuse too.

People tell me I look younger, but I often feel older.

He must be around 70!  How many 65 yo Thailand xpats are as healthy looking?  5-10 years ago he had less wrinkles but he seems to have lost 5 kilos and hence the wrinkles. Elastic skin is illusive as we age and dropping weight causes the dreaded sag. Looks like drugs, if they don't kill you, have less impact  than expected for many.

I look good.

I think drugs like meth make them age very fast 

I could also tell those ex heroin user  faces

Yes, on the extremes, it is usually quite obvious that they have prematurely emptied the tank.  I stay away from the hard stuff because the risks are not worth the benefit.

The girls say that I apparently don't get older and looks the same, as 15 years ago – it's important what the girls think, even when they are getting too old – so in principle, if the girls are trustworthy, the me shall look about 15 years younger than my age...

It's the present me in my profile image – how old do I look...😎

 

 

What age I feels like, is another story...😀

I'm pretty sure that is Crocodile Dundee.    Pic to fuzzy to tell age but looking fit!

Thanks, and sure, it's fuzzy, only small images allowed for profile photos; fuzzy appearance might be a benefit in some cases...

Could of course also be that I looked 15-20 years older 15 years ago...🤔

However, I don't mind sharing a bit less fuzzy image of my age now, where I might look as old as I appeared before...😀

Brave to post a pic and shows your confidence.  Strike me as the type that is comfortable in their own skin which most are not.  I think there are a few people that hate me on this forum so I can't post a pic.  Just have to take my word for it that I'm hansom and doubt you care anyhow.  Cheers

[Surasak]

The packaging looks great, its the contents that has the problem.

[Walker88]

If everybody looks a lot younger than they are, what does age actually look like? Is there anybody left to look their age?

 

I'm beginning to think there's kind of a Dunning-Kreuger or Downing Effect even with one's appearance re age.

[ignis]

remember at 17 many guessed my age as 20 something, now people guess my age as 60 something, really 73 in a months time
