You look great... for your age

I don't get that many messages these days because of filters and a extensive block list. But this week I got a couple of messages from guys saying I look great for my age and I didn't have the body of a 48 year old. I'm curious though what should a body look like at that age! They are meaning it as a compliment of sorts but I'm not ready to be sent out to pasture yet! As long as there's life in this old slut I'll be still in the Fab old folks home saying let me slip in my false teeth for the Gluck Gluck 9000 or maybe you prefer if I didn't slip them in

Genuinely I think it's a compliment..though put across awkwardly especially younger lads. I mean it's a step up from "fine chassis on ya for the miles on the clock" but for what it'd worth I think they're saying you've got it in spades.

I imagine it is meant with the best of intentions and as a compliment, but is clusmy use of language and/or a lack of awareness how such a comment may actually land.

I have definitely done my fair share of failed compliments, as others said, it's probably not intentional.

If people's ages weren't shown on their accounts, I wonder how many would be accused of being 10 years younger or older.

As a girl said to me a couple of weeks age is just a number. If you are attracted it makes no difference.

But seriously you do look good for your age.lol

I agree it's often this, or schmoozing for the ride, or fear of words with historically negative connotations

I often get "don't put yourself down" because they've read the bit in my profile that says I'm a wee fat woman. When I tell them I'm not putting myself down that's usually met with "you're not fat, your gorgeous/hot/sexy". Ermmmm are the two things mutually exclusive? Can I not be both gorgeous/hot/sexy AND fat?

Now I'm on the verge of being old too - people's heads will explode when I add that to my profile

I get told I don't look my age and I often say I don't act my age but I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to look or act.

I read recently that half the actors playing nursing home residents in Cocoon were in their 40s and Clive Dunn was 48 when he played Corporal Jones in Dad's Army.

People in their 40s and 50s dressed older in previous generations so it's all relevant.

Ive seen some fabbers on here and at socials recently who were in their 60's and I genuinely thought they looked amazing

Some people just lucky with their genes I suppose

But then again I'm 59 so maybe my brain is moving towards the older age group anyway

Remember how 60 was ancient when you were 20? It's still ancient to a 20 year old

You look great regardless of age...

I think men are fixated with age so much that most of those saying you look great for 48 are the ones who grow up watching TV in where adults had grau hair and so on...

You can leave those false teeth in the jar. I'll just pop this stiffy pill and we'll be done before the bridge game starts.

I find it a bit of a back handed compliment. Much like “oh you look great, have you lost weight?” Like you can only look good if you loose weight, drives me mad

It always feels like a backhanded compliment, although I get that it's not meant to be one. Nice to "hear" none the less, lol but I get your apprehension. I'm with you, I'll be rocking it out in the nursing home too lol

Age is but a number....

But I have vanilla friends that were bragging about a one night love session implying that my male friend considered he was one hell of a lover, until he discovered the lady had chronic asthma.

Alas, one female colleague then chimes in that she's deeply offended as her daughter has a chronic asthma condition which apparently has no resemblance to vigorous activities.

No digging their way out of that hole

The 90s were 30 years ago, they feel like 10 years ago. 50 back then was grandma style. 50 now looks better than 30 did then .

You should take it as a compliment.
