I try not to think of it that much, since I think worrying about more things will only age me.  It seems that my age looks change some from day to day anyway.

mmmmm people tell me when they meet me they can't believe that i am as old as i am or that i am old enough to have a son in his 30s or have grandchildren....but then again i dont drink much, dont smoke and avoid being around it, no drugs ever....(not even once to try) and vegetarian for the past 40 years...

It is my life and I don't use up much of it wondering how old I look. How is 76 supposed to look? Interesting post but then all of yours are. Happy Thanksgiving.

I know Wiley and I look younger than we are!!!! I just know it!!

Personally, I think I look at least five years younger, probably because I don't drink, I don't smoke, I stay active, and I married a vegatarian!

Re: Ciel

I'm so glad that people who think I look older than I am don't tell me so.  That would be rather depressing.  LOL

Keep doing things that you should not.  It brings out the boy in you.  I can just imagine a twinkle in your eye and a naughty grin.

Re: adnohr

I avoid mirrors as much as possible, as I feel younger when I don't see myself.  LOL

Re: lionreign

Yes, one does look a lot younger if they are smiling, singing and tapdancing.

Re: Pat_B

Crepey skin, hahaha.  I know about that. 
I would look a lot like my mother if I was a wee, skinny old woman instead of a well-endowed one.

Well, that will be too late to do me any good.

Re: lustorlove

Don't ask your kids if you look young, ask someone who owes you money.  LOL

Re: FSI

Have you ever posted a picture of yourself on here?  I don't ever remember seing you.  But, then again, I forget things now and then.

Re: Naut

I love your wit and sense of humor.  If your son is like you in that way, I would say he has it made.

I regularly introduce my eldest son as my older brother, and sometimes when I'm in a bar they want to see my ID before serving me...

That is an interesting statistic. I myself feel that I look my age of twenty-seven.

all my kids and myself have always looked younger until latley and my son 45 has gotten a lot of grey hair and I have a head full of white hair.  The other day at Curves I thought this lady really looked old and she is 1 year older and I asked my daughter if I looked younger and she said I dont know.  Darn I guess I look old too

­There’s a ten year delay for the new 30, the new 40, the new 50, and the new 60. Soon we’ll be so new that we’ll be the new not born yet love. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

 If I dress right I can hide a certain amount of crepey skin and the age spots on my arms, but when I look in the mirror I see someone who looks like my mother did when she was old. When they tell me I don't look my age, I smile and say thank you. Under my breath I think "liar."

It's kind of difficult to tell with me, because I shave my head the easy signs of aging are gone and I range from looking about 9 years younger to 10 years older depending on how tired and well I am

Hmmm - not that I think about it much, but if I look in the soft. tinted mirrors, I would take off a couple of years. My hall mirror in the sunlight puts me right back where I really am. Then there are those days when I look much younger than I feel!!

Not until I think you silly old man when doing something I should not and then it hits me. I then feel 100 so perhaps that counts.

I think I am in a lower percentage than I am...

I feel younger than I am. Except when I feel older.  And strangers recently a couple of times have thought me younger than I am, or so they said.  The ones that think I'm older than I am haven't spoken up.
