Had a great pic I could have posted IF they ever get the mobile functions back up.....of Captain Jack Sparrow → saying......

Don't Tell Me to Act My Age -

→ → I've never been this old before......

Oh yes.

Im 48 but in my head Im 20.

The only problem being that my hangovers take longer to recover from.

I sill look and feel young but have to admit I prefer to feel older women.

I don't worry about how old I am. Just get on with enjoying life.

Sometimes I think I feel young. Then I hang out in a room full of people half my age and realize I really don't. I'm just more liberal and carefree than most of the people my age.

You may be right there ,never thought of it that way

I'm a very hansum man, in my 60's, but feel as though I'm still in my 20's.

Two hip replacements, about to have both knees done also, the legacy of running 20 kms a day on roads, in inadequate shoes (before good shoes were available), but I still spend an hour in the gym three or four days a week.

Not smoking, and drinking alcohol moderately, are key factors in fighting off age, but exercise is most important, preferably low impact, so joints aren't damaged.

The old cliche that you're only as old as the woman you feel is true, as I see it. My gf is almost 20 years younger.

Overall, I think ageing is largely a state of mind...... think young, stay young, but Iit does have limits.

I am old both inside & outside.

I will burn @ 11am next Tuesday.

Afterwards, free food & DRINKS!

Don't rush - 1 plate of sandwiches & 1 carton of beer for all.

Age is only a number and has little meaning on how old you look. I am in my late fifties but everyone thinks I am in my forties. My secret, stay fit, eat healthy, don't smoke or drink too much, keep stress levels down and keep a young girl by your side.

Oh yes.

People who drink excessively age quicker, take a good look at someone who drinks every day, they can look up to twenty years older very easily.

Mick is still pounding 27 year olds and he says he cant get no satisfaction. Keep healthy, positive and you will stay long and hard tongue.png

To my knowledge, I have never been with a girl older than myself, and if

I thought a girl looked older than me, there was no way I would ask her out.

Generally fat guys look 10 years younger.

fat face = less lines

But for fitness, at 60 I'm the fittest I've been in my life.

And fitter than 98% of people will ever be at any time in their life.

Cycling, running, hiking every other day or more.

Resting pulse now at 45bpm or less.

You don't have to accept your bones getting brittle, your muscles wasting and your weight increasing.

It just takes a bit of work.

I should have mentioned diet as part of the equation, balanced diet, plenty of fruit and veg, low fat and sugar, regular red meat and fish intake, and you'll be growing younger by the day.

Takes all sorts, age is important to some, means nothing to others. Age is mostly just a number.

Doesnt or need not define you, for many things its not even relevant.

As for relationships, up to the individuals, as long as no one is being pressured and are both consenting adults, then whatever makes them happy.

My ex was 5 yrs older than me, have had relationships with up to 18 yrs younger than me.

Just numbers.

When I was young, I wanted to be much older - the patriarchal type of infinite wisdom, looked up to by the younger generation. Now that I'm 64, and my daughter refers to me as that "silly old codger", I want to be young again, but wise beyond my years and with dash and elan and a grand figure of sophistication.

The reality is, of course, much different. It's a pot belly, huffing and puffing on the exercise bike, creaking joints, irritable bowels, failing eyesight and a prescription for viagra. I have wisdom, but it's been superseded by Google Search, and sophistication, which which only I can see when I take a selfie.

Thanks heavens the neighbors are kind.

Way back in the sixties I had a problem with the old generation.

Now I still have a problem with the old generation.

Does that mean I am still young?

Put my arm around a young lady and asked if she had felt old age creeping up on her.

I live and breathe by these two motto's...post-166774-0-43189400-1447231875_thumb.post-166774-0-22535600-1447231879_thumb.

It's amazing how every expat in Thailand looks at least a decade younger than their age.

I look 10 years older than my age.

But I can run, hike and cycle as fast as a 25 year old.

Not to mention I look really good naked ......... with a bag over my head!

You don't mention smoking, mmnnn why?

I think you have that idea because you're staring at their girlfriends.

Yes.

I still think I could do the sports and martial arts I used to do - but in reality, I couldn't.

I don't smoke, drink very little alcohol but, as with all, age changes the body etc. I try and keep fit, but not as before.

At a thorough medical, on returning to UK from overseas, a doctor told me that your body is like a nice car. You would expect problems after running it for 30, 40, 50 years etc!

When I was 18 my gf was 25, real goer. At 28 my gf was 42, fit and married; at 32 gf and first wife was 27. Current wife is 19 years younger.

As another poster commented age is just a number. All of us our different and age differently, mentally and physically.

Oh yes.

Because I was referring to Nikmar as he seems to have regular hangovers, and yes, smoking also ages you.

And again, no, I do not smoke and never have, same applies to drinking, and I do look much younger than my age.
