FabSwingers.com forum: Do you look or act your age?

By (user no longer on site) OP

The question is easy.

When I was younger I would have thought my age was ancient, (that’s a kids mindset right there) but now I’m here at the back end of 40’s, I was so wrong. I still have my youth, and someone gave me a wonderful compliment telling me I don’t look/act as old as I am or appear.

It’s a feeling isn’t it? I’m still early 20s. I think that’s when I matured. …

I reckon I look about 30, and I'm nearing 39.

As for acting my age? I've always been sensible (or dull), so maybe I've always acted older than I am. I'm fine with that. Late 30s does seem a sensible time to start swinging too

It's a bit weird for me, when I was in my teens and 20s people always thought I looked older than I was, when I got to my 30s and now 40s people think I look younger than I am.

I act my age when I'm around strangers, but with people I'm comfortable around I'm like a big kid.

Without a beard I look far too young. With the beard I still look younger than I am. The grey in my beard is the only thing that hints towards me being close to 40,even then most never seem to guess - though they may be polite and nice.

As for how I act... I don't think I act like my age or any other age. I tend to flip flop from childish to grumpy old man. I don't even know how I'm supposed to act for my age.

I've personally never come across anyone who I thought were 10 years older or younger than they are. When I take a picture with my mates we all look around the same age.

I think many think of their parents at the same age. And think I'm more youthful than them. But it's not really a fair comparison. I'm from a family of farmers and I've worked indoors most my life. Of course my skin is less wrinkled.

I refuse to grow up, I think at the moment I'm doing things I would have done when I was younger and living more than ever.

You're as young as the person you feel though right?

Yes I do look and act my age. However there are certain characteristics associated with age that are just stereotypes, people of any age can possess them but such is the aversion to being old we say anyone displaying those characteristics is acting old.

I'm just me at 66 years old. Line me up with 100 other 66 year old women and we'll all look different but we'll all still be 66 and we'll all act like 66 year olds.

I think I look in my 30s - perhaps not 38 most people say I look around 32 which I’ll happily take.

I have maturity and can act my age when the situation requires it, that said I enjoy being silly with someone, having the ability to bring myself down to the mindset of my young nephews when entertaining them and still having that free spirited approach to life.

I guess I don't get why looking younger is the go to compliment. I like faces what look like they've lived. I think lots of people have been sucked in by the beauty industry, 9 out of 10 people said their skin looked younger. It's all about their profit. My best friends dad is in his 80's and looks in his 80's and he doesn't give a flying monkeys about it. Though to be fair last time I visited he was on top of the roof shouting a conversation to me which he couldn't hear my replies as he didn't have his hearing aids in. To me he's one of the most youthful people I know. I think youthfulness is an attitude not how you look.
