Have you ever noticed how old people your age look these days?

Ditto, but even though I look a little younger than I am, I still look older than I feel I should. My better half looks younger than I do which is unfair because she's actually a year older. I'm a worrier, she's not.
I SOUND a lot younger, I have customers constantly telling me I don't sound old enough to be a grandfather (of three plus one step). I'm told I have a good voice for radio, I reply that I also have a good FACE for radio.
That said, I feel every second of my 55 years.

Well, some of this is directly related to genetics.  My dad had very few wrinkles on his face up to his death at 93 and he had a full head of wavy hair, too.  My mom, on the other hand, was more prone to wrinkles.  Fortunately, I took after my dad.  The shape of your face also has bearing - a full face (which I have) tends to look younger.  My sisters and I are all fortunate to have strong voices, something that seems to fade as one ages.  

"Face like the map of Ireland" - Celtic genes, I look like my mother in male (the native Australian is on my father's side and doesn't show). She didn't look her age either until right at the end, ravaged by cancer. Both of my grandfathers died with a full head of hair, so that's also a factor (my 30yo son takes after his maternal grandfather, my father-in-law was bald when I met my wife and Tim is going that way).
My better half also has the Celtic (round) face, inherited from her Welsh mother. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at September 20, 2024 11:28 PM MDT

My dad looked Italian and my mom looked Irish.  Neither was that - Russian. Polish and Austrian.

The Celts iriginated in the Caucusus mountains before moving westward, so there's Celtic influence in Russia and Poland as well. Not so much in Austria, they're Hun.

Yes, you are  -  judging from your photo on here.

Luv you.

Luv you more.

Unless she looked like Jocelyn Wildenstein in high school, telling her she looked like Rosanne wouldn't be a compliment.

As I said I did not post it.  But she does look like a younger version of Rosanne now.  (Not Rosanne how she looked on the TV show...she looks better now)
