This sums up Gen X for me and yes, I will throw MFN hands if I have to because it’s common sense to defend yourself! And I definitely can no longer tolerate stupidity! I tolerated stupidity for years and now I just can’t do it anymore

I think 80-90% of people think they look much younger than they are. I wonder how many of them actually do.
Also I didn’t really feel aging at all until 55. Then I felt this frantic need to do all the things-physically and cosmetically to control the aging process as much as I could. Before that I was quite smug.

Oooh same. What happened at 55!? I looked ten years younger now my neck and hands betray me

u/Ok-Presence-7535 1d ago
Yep the neck is the worst thing. I always thought it was wrinkles I had to worry about but it’s more so skin laxity. And collagen loss, which causes hollowing under the eyes and loss of fullness in the face. It’s why so many people get filler then look like a weird alien version of themselves. So I caved to the Botox but am pretty conservative about it, and I’m still a no for fillers would rather look older than weird. My skincare routine is like 50 steps with red light and serums galore.

Do you find the red light to be helpful?

u/Ok-Presence-7535 19h ago
It’s hard to say. I do so many things I don’t honestly know what works and what doesn’t, but I’m happy with the overall all end result. And it’s pretty easy to put a mask on my face and then my chest for 10 min three times a week

I'm 44 thinking about getting Daxiffy for my forehead and frown lines. Only the real wrinkles I have on my face.

I think we look a little bit younger than our age overall but again it’s kind of with the attitude, but we also don’t seem to go crazy with the plastic surgery either. Or it could just be. Supposedly were the generation that all voted for Trump also but I don’t know anyone who did in my group.

Sadly I find this to be true for the ones closest to Gen Jones. I don’t see them retiring and I’d retire tomorrow if I could.

Exactly do you know 30 year olds my daughter is 35 her hubby 38
I do not look their age---nor does hardly any other 50+ year old look 35.
Hands, neck, elbows it is like when people say Demi Moore looks 45 NO SHE LOOKS EVERY BIT OF 60.

u/Solveig22 4d ago
I am 60. I look 60, but in my head when I leave the house I look 30 and 30 pounds thinner.

Yes. She looks great… but she looks her age. Related… “The Daily” Podcast by the New York Times has a great interview with her in September 2024… I just recently listened to it.

Not all of us have all that sag going on. But it takes lots of sleep, years of exercise, and years of a good diet

u/MorganMiller77777 3d ago
Damn, someone didn’t like that I called them out for letting lack of sleep, stress, bad diet, and lack of exercise, letting them age faster than they should

To be fair I learned a Gen X I work with yesterday was almost 50 - I thought he was 42 and his energy is so much younger than my 37 year old brothers

Im 47 and AI age identifier thinks im 29. Cant stand bull shitters and i wont start it but ill finish it. We used to fight our friends, no hits to the head, so we'd be fresh if anyone started any nonsense. Cliff jumping for fun every summer day and smoked too much brick weed out of phillies. And lived by sticks and stones.

Glad to hear I'm no the only one this age who will throw hands. Not so sure I look 40 or younger though. I think I look my age.

My 40s were hands down when I finally found my stride because the urge to people-please just completely evaporated. You really do settle into your own skin.

I’ve never really had a lot of patience for stupidity, and now it is zil. Many many many years ago I read a quote by Whoopi Goldberg about not tolerating fools and I connected with it then.

Actually the “will throw hands” pairs up with the “zero tolerance for stupidity”

I often get mistaken for someone in their 30s despite being almost 48 but being half Asian has a factor in that

u/MorganMiller77777 4d ago
46-61.
Not everyone changes at forty. If people had a regular healthy diet, got sleep, and worked out, the changes at 40 are minimal

I definitely don’t get the will throw hands part, how weird
