Fatter, my skin is more sensitive, hair's getting grey, stiff back, can't wear high heels like I used to... but I am happy. 43 and I am not sad about getting older... I need to start taking better care of myself though.




The things I lose as I age are replaced by other things I value more. biggrin

No, not scared, just hoping I can look after myself for many years to come and don't end up in some crappy nursing home. Hoping I can enjoy many years of retirement too.

Hell no, Black folks don't age like regular people...When I turn 80 I'm gonna look 40....


'Cause Black folks are "irregular?" confuse

Black don't crack! lol Black skin is oiler than white skin, therefor, less wrinkles.

I get bummed out when I have 3 drinks and I'm deathly ill the next day. Also I'm 38 with no children, and can't decide if I should have one. So...I guess I wish I was about 5 years younger. But whatever...I live a good life.

Turning 45 later this year.

I am not "scared" as much as I am annoyed.

Annoyed that I'm starting over at this age.

Annoyed that my metabolism isn't what it used to be.

Annoyed that my bones ache every now & then.

Annoyed that my hair is thinning more & more every f*cking year.

Annoyed that I have an almost insignificant amoung of $$$ saved for retirement yet.


Other than the hair, I'm not worried about the consequences of aging (gray hair, wrinkles, etc).

Nor am I dreading dying (or that my life is half over).

My biggest fear is not of age but of ageism. confused

Uh, hate to "crack" the illusion, but some older Black folks look as wrinkled and dried up as White folks. It really depends on genetics and how you take care of yourself. In saying that though--there are more "white" skinned people that look worse when they are old, then folks who have built in sun protection... lol

Absolutely it's genetics...but also proven that black skin ages better than white.

Black people don't traditional hang out in the sun and even when they do they have a natural defense against UV rays built in, it's not fool proof though because I've on a couple of occasions have experienced the joys of sunburn, sunscreen has become my friend. But wrinkles aren't the only issue with aging, sagging happens to everybody, think turkey neck, gobble gobble, cause hon' even if the booty don't lie, the neck screams the truth.

I'm not really talking about getting really old and wearing nappies in an old folks home, but more the general process of aging. Are you one of those people who gets bummed out on their birthdays and wishes they could turn back the clock? Or do you not give a shit?

Please give your age in your reply. I'm more interested in the views of people 30+. Anyone younger can just piss off and die. wink

I'm 38 and I've been facinbg quite a number of unexpected health issues for the last 8 years so yeah, I'm pretty afraid it's not gonna be a joy ride to get old. Thing is no one told me u actually start getting old at 30, I expected the shit to start happening after 45 or 50 sad We should tell the truth to children sad
