Well, I suppose I'd have to agree with a comment or two from the above as to how sly makes you look younger.  Yesterday, one of my students said he thought I was in my forties (perhaps he needed his vision tested?), and today, when I asked for the senior discount at the liquor store (10% MTuW), the (young) clerk said, "Are you old enough?"  Well, I certainly feel old enough, and while I don't actually (yet) know how one's seventies feel, I sort of think I already know...

I'll be 50 in July... nobody believes it........... I very often hear "I thought you were about 40".

As the great philosopher, Peter Frampton once said, "If you're not getting older, you're dead!"

I hit 60 next birthday.

40 is ancient to the typical student.  I'm not casting any aspersions on your appearance; I'm just saying.  I can remember when I assumed that anyone who was older than me but under the age of 60 was in their 30s.

All you young things  - - -You all look 20     I am 68 and I only look 30 (I wish)

I was 68 May 17th and, yes,  I think we all look younger BALD

Most people think I am in my early 50's  - -it's the  Bombay Saphire  martini's every night that do it

Bad weather. I almost love it! A week ago I went to a bar to see someone and I had to walk a few blocks  in really heavy rain. NO problem. I don't want to remember how bad it would have been as a balding guy.

Yeah!  No hair to "adjust" or fix!  The other day a co-worker came to work and had this giant cow lick on top of his head (bed head?).    :o
I just smiled, told him about his hair and watched as he went through the pains of "fixing" his hair. :Xo!
Ahhh, yes, the good life!  Hair free! O0

65, and into my 5th month of Medicare. 
Don't really care if I look it or not.  I don't get paid for being pretty.
My boss loves it, I'm not on his insurance anymore,  Raised the pay up a bit to compensate for it.   Thanks for paying those taxes, guys.
