When I was 34, my wife and I had a friend over for dinner. She was an extremely attractive blonde. During the course of the conversation she mentioned that she was 38 and I almost fell off my chair. I was just overwhelmed with how much older than me she was. My perception was that I was “just a iittle past 30”. But she….she was “almost 40” It’s all in how we perceive ourselves. I have a friend, my old college roommate who talks often about how old he is. But I think back, and he was old at 22. He always seemed old, even though we were the same age. He just acted old.
I have a 93 year old aunt who doesnt seem old at all, and never has. When she was 85, she was still wearing stylish clothes and heels. A cousin of mine (female) went to visit her and when she got back told my mother that she was never going to visit Sarah again. When asked why, she said no woman 85 should have the figure she has. It was in jest, but my 93 year old aunt still doesnt seem old.
It all depends on the person and the attitude.
