Anyone else think people your own age look old?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm curious about something...
I have been checking out different dating sites lately and have noticed that 99% of the women my age (I'm 34) look old to me.
Is that something to do with my Aspergers? It's like the image I see of myself is younger than I am so when I look at people my own age (biologically speaking) it seems almost creepy to think about dating them.
Does anyone else feel that way?

Yes.

Now that I'm approaching 40, it seems like many of the SINGLE women my age look like dried-up old leather, sagging, balding, obese...

The ones that don't are already married... some people age better than others, but many of the ones left in the singles pool at my age are either not much to look at or are REALLY messed up in the head! Twisted and evil...

I have to hope for someone in the same boat as me - not single because of their own failings, but just bad luck/circumstances. Some people in their 40's still look great - no makeup required!

Yes, but it's not just us that see them that way. I've encountered everything from people being astounded to being hostile about my age, since moving back to Texas (where I see you're from sbarne3). I attribute at least part of it, to the bad lifestyle habits. The women my age (30-45), are trying to correct their bad habits now by limiting their drinking/smoking/food intake, and exercising, but the damage has already been done to their bodies and skin. I have never been a sun person, and I lived in California for eleven years. The city where I lived just made #4 on a Top Ten List of Healthiest Cities for Women. Contrast that to here, where the drinking, non exercise, sun worshipping, and everything being fried has resulted in women that resemble mummies without the wrappings.

Yes.

I am constantly told I look like Im in my thirties. No make up either. OK I have good genes as Mum is the same, but I would like to think AS plays a big role.

machf You got me. I'm indeed in my twenties... x 2

There are times I wish I looked older so I might be taken more seriously...


...but I still feel like a big kid on the inside anyway.

interesting point.

yup.. If I have a clean shaven beard people address me as if I am a teenager. I am in my mid 20's.

people usually think im in highschool (and not even a senior). I have started leaving stubble behind to atleast up it to being 18.

I have found most of my friends are all starting to look old. I am the youngest out of all my old friends and they all have wrinkles are starting to bald and get grey. I look a lot younger then my age so this past weekend when i was out with a new bloke i know who is nearly 4 years younger then me, everyone thought he was a lot older then me too. It is quite funny although I am not sure how my boyfriend feels about it. I have had People make a feel comments that he looks too old for me.
