Title: How old
Post by: vampire on November 22, 2008, 06:33:13 AM
Hello, have you noticed that certain guys when they are bald do not look there age.There is a TV programe in England called 10 years younger.They say to go bald if thinning on top,lose a bit of weight if needed,only wear 1 earing or stud and a wristwatch, ie no excess rings etc,get a bit of colour and wear modern clean clothes.This applies to the over 40s.Dagenhamjim who is 50 and no1birdman who is 60 are two guys  on here who look not a day over 40, how do they do it, is it genes or just looking after themselves. Now this is only my personel opinion and others may not agree so if you disagree ok.

I have had that comment myself and it made me feel pretty darn good. I am 45 but on several occassions customers of mine commented they thought I was in my mid-30's.

Losing weight & losing the horseshoe of hair are two great ways to look younger.

Wait....if we're talking about men looking younger, why is this topic in the women's corner?  ;D

Hello, it can work in the reverse, some look older if they start growing grey facial hair that is the giveway.I have a bit of trouble telling ages by faces , some young ones look older than the older guys. Some do not care about there apearance in relate to there age,Do most of you like to look your best or as long as you are bald is that enough.

I like to look my best from the neck up but I tend to always choose comfort over fashion when it comes to clothing.

I do not concern myself about "looking older". I try to look the best I can for my age but I am not going to inundate myself with "stop the grey" products for my goatee' as an example. It is truly my belief that if people fear aging it is not an external problem they are dealing with rather an internal emotional problem. Except for an early death growing older is a natural part of life.

I totally agree with you....I have never cared about looking younger or coloring anything gray. I think guys who always want to look younger have other problems somewhere.

That's true. I do get concerned about getting older from a health aspect so I do my best to eat right and so forth because I realize that health choices I make now will affect my quaility of life 20-30 years from now. I do not believe in just letting ones self go so to speak but as far as trying to "look younger" for the sake of vanity is to a degree insanity.

I disagree to a point. I do color my goat sometimes when I am on a quest. The only problem I associate it with is picking up younger chicks. I have tested and the age question only comes up when you have the gray showing.

Do I have internal emotional problems due to ageing..... I think not. I think my issue is I like a nice piece of a@@!  >:D

Some people get obsessed with looking younger and go to extremes (surgery, etc) to achieve their goals.  But let's face it, most of us will make minor adjustments in our appearances -- whether it be how we dress, a haircut, shaving our heads -- if it shaves a few years off our appearances.  Things have to be kept in perspective, of course, but why look older than you have to?

I agree. Nothing wrong with that but as you said there are people who take it to a point of obsession. I think that is unhealthy and stems from an emotional issue.

Hello, I can not see anything wrong with trying to look your best, after a certain age men and women start to look a bit worse for wear.I think if you do nothing about it is a sign you do not care or are that confident that you think you look good
Title: Re: How old
Post by: hammerdrill376 on November 23, 2008, 09:41:15 AM
Nothing wrong in looking ones best. However I have seen and know people who are fighting an unwinnable battle against growing older. When a persons every waking moment is taken with trying to "look the best they can" for the sake of impressing others I think that is unhealthy and immature. For example I have alot of grey in my goatee'. I am not going to spend money on coloring products to try to look younger. If someone else wants to do that for themself fine by me. But for me I don't waste alot of time worrying about things like that. As for not doing anything or that one does not care I respectfully disagree. Again I am not talking about just letting one's self or looks without some proper attention. But in the end people are going to get older and being absorbed every moment with trying to "look younger" to me is a sign of a severe lack of self confidence.  That being said if someone chooses to spend alot of their time and money on that go for it. It's your life.  As for me..no need to. VERY happy with who I am.

You will never win the age battle. However; a minor adjustment here and there doesnt hurt. I will now officially confess to having a chin lift 2 years ago; and I will never know why at age 40 I had 3 chins without being that much overweight. No more surgery.

I think the soul patch, shaved head, earring combo. is what really does it for Howie Mandel... if I didnt no better I'd say he looks in his thirties...but then again he has a professional make-up team.

Or you are in a strong, healthy, and happy relationship where the "other" loves you for so much more than what's on the outside.

Hello, you may be right, but some women do not like how there partners look.So they should try to improve the look, just because you shave your head does not make you immediatly atractive, you have to work on the look. Some guys look hot some not but they could improve there looks.Some women like the shaved look, but only on certain guys does it look realy good, but always better than horseshoe.I personally like a stud or earing in, nice tan and white shirt, jacket blue jeans etc, good body and confident.

I think once a guy shaves his head he worries less about looking "old"
I really think shaving makes guys look younger, no matter how old they are. 
Some guys look better than others sly...but thats the same with guys with a full head of hair.
Applies to women too...
I like the one earring myself. But it wont fly with my job so I only wear it socially.

"You cannot do anything about getting older...but getting old is a state of mind you can avoid."

Damn!!! thought I was on the wrong site there for a minute when I seen your forum pic Vampire.

When I keep head smooth ppl guess me at 25 to 27 and i'm 32. I either dress up or dress like a freak, but either way women tell me I got a very dark "air" or "presence" to me, a few told me that that was very attractive. Now any gal that thinks I look good must be insane, lol.
