Do you plan to fight the aging process or age gracefully?

[Anonymous]

Do you think once you hit your late 30's and 40's you'll "allow" gray hair, sagging, and wrinkles and all things that are just a part of growing up and growing old to happen to you naturally or do you know already (or you've done it already), you'll be in line for hair dye, a permanent gym membership, botox, anti-aging serums, and plastic surgery to try and keep yourself looking as youthful as possible?

I would like to age gracefully. I drink a lot of water, eat healthy, and I exercise.

High blood pressure runs in my dad's side of the family so I know i have to be careful with how i eat.

Other than that... genetics have been nice to me. I get mistaken for being way younger than I actually am.

I tried to buy Soju to have a drink with a friend... and I had to go back to the car to get my ID. Then the guy was showing my id to the other cashier like it was impossible for me to be in my 30s 😂.

When i do start to get gray hair and all that, I'll embrace it.

[Asker]

I've had the same exact thing happen twice. Bartenders do this a lot. Gets good tips from women, but like you know when you've got good genes. Everyone is complimenting you.

[Lilly1979]

I’m not going down without a fight.

[Asker]

Ha, love it. Got some boxing gloves in the back if you need them!

[exitseven]

I lead a healthy lifestyle workout regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Most people are surprised when I tell them how old I am. I do not plastic surgery and every time I get a haircut they try and upsell me to a dye job but I am not interested. I am more interested in maintaining the strength and endurance to live an active life.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[PavlovsCogk]

Is there botox for people's brains to make them less rotten? ﾠ

[AI Opinion]

Aging gracefully is key for me, but a little self-care never hurts! I embrace the natural changes, like a few gray hairs or laugh lines, as badges of experience. However, I enjoy using skincare, occasional hair dye, and staying active to feel my best. It's all about balance and feeling confident in your own skin while celebrating each new chapter with grace and a dash of style! 🌟😊

[4ngelic]

fight it, but not to the point of looking like those hollywood stars with puffy uncanny valley faces from too much surgery. i plan to always keep the greys dyed through middle age at least. when the head will turn mostly grey i'd probably wear wigs and dye my actual hair every now and then. for skin aging, i'd definitely get light botox and filler, and get a face lift when i'm a senior. i'd also continue doing anti aging skin care, i already use retinol serum, vitamin c serum, retinol eye cream and take collagen supplements. i'd just take that to a whole other level in my 30s & up. i'd also avoid becoming fat like the plague to not look like a dowdy old woman, would probably get a bbl and boob lifts, tummy tucks, and stuff like that to have a hot body for an older woman when i'm middle aged and old. i'd wear clothes that are younger but not too young either, would dress forever like i'm in my 20s or 30s, to not look frumpy and behind the times

My great aunt was the definition of "still got it." She lived to be 90, and she was still wearing stilettos and dressing fashionably. I loved that so much about her that she didn't just say, oh I'm 70, 80, or even 90 so let me roll over and die, she made efforts to look presentable all the way until the end. I don't judge what people do for themselves. You've got to feel good for you and if surgery and hair dye and anything else makes you feel good, then why not. No one knows how you feel but you.

[DishLady]

Hmm “age gracefully” is just when the DNA is enough to help you age nicely. Some folks DO have to fight off rheumatism and physical stressors that impact the way they look and feel. Even taking a multivitamin is supposedly “fighting” nature.


So unless you’re planning to smoke and treat yourself poorly you’re inadvertently “fighting” the slow crawl to your last days….

[thegreenyogi]

I intend to age gracefully which means embrace the changes. I have already made the decision to no dye or colour my hair, no botox or anything that will modify my natural self. I just want to take care of my body following a healthy diet, plenty of fitness or working out and live a stress free life as much as possible finding happiness with another person or within myself.

[Gwendoline]

Absolutely. I have two aunts around the same age. One drank, smoked, did drugs, ate junk food, partied all night every night for decades, sunbathed etc and she's 40 looking 60 meanwhile her older sister who is 42 and did none of that, looks 30 if not 25.

[Asker]

Absolutely...which one? Aging gracefully means you just accept the way you're aging or the alternative is you're having surgeries, you're dying your hair, etc.

[Gwendoline]

Well i think if you look after yourself you can age with grace.

[NoDecision]

I'm making plans for those golden years. I created a facemask to wear anytime I go out. It will probably look better than my 85 yr od face.

[Asker]

Good to have a plan in place.

[conanbdetective]

There's no need to fight the aging process. If your body isn't bombarded by drugs and alcohol and you live a generally healthy lifestyle (good sleep quality, body fat percentage isn't through the roof, staying hygenic, eating a balanced diet, staying active when you can), you're more likely to age gracefully. After that, it's a matter of fashion.

[Asker]

No offense to my sister in law, but when I first met her, I literally thought she was "the older woman" my brother was apparently seeing. She had a lot of wrinkles. Turns out I was a year older than her. Then I met her mom. She's got some pretty rough "aging gracefully" genes. She grew up in the literal mountains of Montana hiking, biking, camping, fishing, etc. I've been there and it's stunning, meanwhile I grew up in a major city chock full of pollution and few trails and parks. Unfortunately, sometimes, it's just luck of the draw no matter what we do, but I agree with you that for most that would give the advantage.

[Zack-Bann]

There’s nothing graceful about letting yourself go
I plan on staying on top of the situation my whole life


Doesn’t mean I will want to look 20 when I’m 50 that’s sad and desperate
But I will definitely try to be in shape with great grooming and style for a man my age


There’s a difference between the “silver foxes” and the old geezers of the world and my aim to avoid geezer status

[Finchie40]

I use to dye my hair like crazy but I calmed down and just accepted the fact that I have a nice amount of gray hair., just my sides are gray , not my whole head yet lol , but once in awhile I will still dye it because it does make me look and feel younger , but shockingly most girls’I meet like my gray hair and tell me not to dye it at all , and say that it looks fine the way that it is. So some girls’ like it and some do not lol so I am stuck in the middle lol

[OneViewpoint]

I've been lucky. Genetics? A lifetime of intense physical training? Both? My doctor says I'm biologically early 40's. Body fat 15%. Resting pulse 50. Cholesterol 140. No loss of muscle mass or bone density. I still do 7-13 mile runs. But I'm 58 chronologically. Aging gracefully? LOL, not aging? My friend's 27 year old daughter proclaimed at the dinner table recently, "you haven't aged in 20 years". OK, I'll take that. I guess I've been fighting the aging process all along.

[DJB72]

I plan to grow old disgracefully. Probably with two prosthetic legs - I have one already, and I'm down to 3 toes on the foot that's left.

I also plan to go out in harness. I'm prepping my house for sale now with a view to buying a farm in the spring around November (Southern Hemisphere). I'll keep growing my own food, using well and rain water and harnessing up the horses to work the land as long as I'm physically able to.

"Old Age" is a state of mind, not body.

[purplepoppy]

Age gracefully. I don't want up be one of those mutton dressed as lamb types forking out hundreds for creams that don't work or wearing 2 inches of slap. Eating well is 99% of the battle

[OneViewpoint]

Eat well. Exercise. Stay curious. Work your brain.

[ABC1x1x]

I'm actually 43 and my wife is 42. We always said we would age gracefully... until we aged. This sux. I actually find her gray hair sexy and the body that gave me 3 amazing daughters just as sexy... she just cums in 15 minutes or less and my old dick needs more than that.. she may miss my muscles but she fell in love with my terrible personality and it hasn't improved a bit in 20 years

[beenherebefore]

Yes! I don't like to judge those who do anti-aging procedures but I'm currently 34 and still look like I'm in my 20s and I like to think that this is thanks to a healthy lifestyle, good genes and a good skin care routine, I don't have any wrinkles yet. I'll continue doing what works for me but in a few years from now if I think I need I might do a little bit of botox, nothing too crazy or too obvious tho.

[SteveSmith1985]

I'm not necessarily going to age "gracefully." But I'm not planning to fight it. So if I gain a bunch of weight, I would maybe join a gym. Otherwise, nah. Time is coming for us all.

[Asker]

When I read that, I literally heard the death gong, like dang, age is a coming!

[SteveSmith1985]

Oh that's the first time you've ever heard the death-gong? Yea... you'll get used to it. You'll hear it more and more often as you get older. Like a reverse "Polar Express" (but with a death-gong).

[Orion84]

I'm already 40, and I don't really care about aging. It's gonna happen, so I just let it happen naturally. Not much I can do about it, anyway.

I exercise, and stay in shape, but that's the extent of my efforts.

[Jay-_-]

I'll still be hitting the gym I hope because it's a passion of mine, but I will not be dying my hair or fixing wrinkles with creams or surgeries or anything like that. I pray I age well, if not its what was meant to be.

[Asker]

I think I'm paying attention more now that I'm "getting up there," to how relatives have aged, and it's looking pretty good. Of course, you've got to meet your destiny halfway with some work on your own like keeping up with your doctors, hitting the gym and working out, and good eating so you don't just rot.

[Jay-_-]

Yea everything as natural as possible, and yes take care of yourself as one should, I hope I age as well as some relatives also clear skin, still have my hair, etc.

[douride2]

I had a healthy life style ate good & exercised. I'm doing great for my age. I am simply going to age gracefully like my grandmother did. My hair has got silver streaks in it and I am fine with it.

[Phoenix98]

All men in my family especially on my dads side of the family age like fine wine. Consistently through the generations, we just have good genes like that.

[milknhoneyy]

I just want to stay pain-free as long as possible. To hell with wrinkles.

[MisterCake]

I'm in some kinda denial, now.

Later I'll fight it, though don't know how.

[alice55]

fight it with good skin care and healthy food

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If it means having to live more uncomfortably because of pain, weakness and whatever health conditions then of course I will fight it. Appearance wise, I don't mind looking old.

[Gospeedracer]

An aging person looks a lot better then someone who has gone under a plastic surgeon's knife.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I don't need to do either, I still look the same in my late 30s as I did at 14

[LiamS95]

I've seen some very beautiful women that have allowed themselves to age naturally and gracefully.

[DrPepper12]

I tried fighting but genetics & my empty wallet seem to be in control not me. Sux

[WonderingManII]

Some people look better with color in their hair, and some people look good gray. Personally I'm just letting it go natural.

[PeterLegg91]

Don't see the point fighting it, it's a natural thing we all get old and our loons fade you can't avoid or stop it

[Anonymous]

When the grim reaper come calling I'm planning on teabagging the hell out of him. 😆

[Panthero]

I have aged gracefully and usually got told I look 10 years younger than my age.

[rebelkid]

As a soon to be 50 year old man I refuse to color my hair. I plan on aging gracefully Yesss Indeeed.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I think I'm just gonna age how I age

[Asker]

Sounds like a plan!

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yes 😂✊🏼

[red-lipstick-girl]

I prefer to fight 🤪

[ChicoFromThe305]

I don't know how to reply to that 😂

[Anonymous]

I fight it with Alex Chiu immortality rings. They stop ageing.

[PrincessC16]

Fight that s*** for as long as I can!

[TrueConfection]

Oh heck no! I’m not giving up yet!

[LiamJHayden]

Part of life if one survives.

[lyrem04]

Age gracefully
