Does anybody else think this....There are a couple of threads on here that are guess this posters age...

Coming from this side of the age bracket (I'm 50)...everyone "young" to me...well I can't really differentiate between 18 or 21 or 23......it's just they are young --my kids ages...and someone who is 29 or 32 ehhh....they look about the same..

I'm guessing when you are young...older people whether they are 42 or 48 or 51...all look about the same.....

There maybe a hotter one or less hot one...but determining age for me in a younger person....well I just look and say...oh they are way young (under 25) or they look like the have a couple of kids....or they are older...

I love when people guess younger for me...but really aren't they just being polite or they really see no difference in someone who is 18 or 21 or 38 or 45 or 50??? Just like young people probably see no difference in older people...

Just something I was thinking...I can't judge age in young people....cause I think if you're under a certain age you just look young. Maybe younger people think the same thing of us old people. :)

    I really enjoyed reading your blog today. (I had written something about it and lost it so I will try again).

    I have learned that age is relative to where one is standing in time. For example, when I was 8 years old, 15 was old. When I was 15, 20 was old. When I was 20, 30 was old. When I was 30, 40 was old. When I was 40, 60 was old. And now, almost 50? Eighty is old. :-)

    And in a society that worships youth, liposuction, and skinny-rail bodies, learning to love me and my body now, before losing weight, is very important to me. I read here how some just torture themselves because they aren't where they want to be. I don't want to do that, especially at my age.

    I thank you for sharing and giving me something to think about and a chance to share.

    You need to watch as some people like to use body acceptance as an excuse to be obese and force their life style on people.
    Have a google of
    skinny privlages and fat acceptance. These people delude themself's into thinking they can't loose weight because they should accept the unhealthly them.

    People geuss my age between 19-27 which is weird since im 21, not sure if thats good or bad. People say you know your getting old when the police start to look young which is something ive noticed :laugh: I still scares me i could have had a 5-6 year old kid by now.
