anyone here afraid of getting old?

[Thorn Bird]

as i was watching some "wrinkles are the devil!" commercial, i realized that maybe those commercials are starting to talk to me. and i got worried. and then i realized that i don't care about wrinkles or gray hair, and i actually look forward to wearing them. i think.
but then i got to wondering how many people are genuinely afraid of looking older, and how many take steps, aggressive or otherwise, torwards keeping those lines and age spots away.
how many here are dreading looking older?

I have this huge fear of getting old. It has bothered me since I hit my twenties that its all downhill from here.

In the past year I have noticed the hair in front starting a retreat to other regions and white hairs in my facial hair. I earned them so I'm not going to complain. I'd rather age gracefully then make myself look like a plastic joke of myself.

It's the fear of your boobs drooping isn't it.

I'll take the Ernest Hemingway out methinks.

Besides, at 20, I'm already 1/3rd dead, and will be at Univ for another 2 years. Then professional exams. Blah.

that'll never happen to ape.

i'm not so worried about it. though the aging thing did cross my mind when i went on that brief bacon rampage.

i'm going bald. i don't care.

Meh, we all get old. No reason to worry about it. I'm going grey and I hate it, but that's life.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

I've been bald/balding for 10 years, makes diving/motorcycling easier so I'm okay with it.

I turned 30 on the 9th. So yeah, I'm feeling a little old.

 

[JAXvillain]

eh, I don't really give it much thought so I guess that's a no

well happy birthday! the only reason i didn't like turning 30 is because i wasn't 20-something anymore.

I need to find a trophy wife STAT!

Already had a "pre-nup" convo with the accountant. Yeah dude, I know I'll need a pre-nup.

 

[Thorn Bird]

i need to be a trophy wife, stat!

 

[Shalimar]

Huh?

 

[b_sinning]

But there was once a 30something tv show. Which at the time I thought was about old people. And now I'm one of them.

 

[Shalimar]

it's better than NOT getting older=death

 

[Shalimar]

well, it's wild, and i think we all do it, to refer to someone our age and be like, "yeah, he's sort of an older guy."

 

[Thorn Bird]

Pics STAT!

oh you'd be horribly disappointed. besides, i don't think spange would approve of me being a trophy wife to someone else when i haven't conquered that at his home.
