Hear! Hear!

Fingers crossed, I will have several torrid and passionate love affairs this decade. I mean, I already own the shoes for it so...

You've also got the right religion for it.

I am 5 years older than my wife.

People think I am her father.

The secret to my old looks? I have to explain that with a joke...

A man is looking for the oldest man alive, for Guinness...records, not beer. Finally, sitting on a porch is the oldest looking man imaginable. He interviewd the guy, to find out his secret.

"How have you lived to so great an age?"

"Well, I smoke 5 packs a day. I also drink at least a quart of corn liquor and a case of beer a day. I like women, too. I have my way with a different woman each night. With all that carrying on, I get 2, maybe 3 hours of sleep a night...if any."

The interviewer is shocked!

"How old are you?"

"I turned 25 last week."

The interviewer is even more shocked when your wife walks out the door and pulls your chair out from under you.

My wife did something similar with a comment I made a few years ago. I'm usually more reserved, but sometimes I just don't know what gets into me.

Someone asked me how I liked my chocolate. I replied, "Dark, just like my women, my beer, and my coffee." Would you believe that I got a stern talking to after that? Honestly, some women say they have a sense of humor...

I am very lucky. I can flirt in front of her, with no problem. In fact, she points hot chicks out for me. I call her my wing man.

I realized that this was unusual when I found out that there was a rumor about us at work (we work at the same location), the we were swingers. Someone finally asked me about it. I said, no...but thanks. Then I explained that, since my wife is usually there when I make certain statements, I guess I can see how people may think that.

People, as a whole are not just stupid...but they are prudes, as well.

Ever since I turned about 14 or thereabouts people said I looked "early 20's" and that hasn't changed yet despite my true age being closer to 30.

People would always remark I was either mature for my age or had "an old soul" or something similar.

I wish I could say I felt younger than I am but I cant.

I get pegged for being roughly 10 years younger quite frequently. I attribute this to working out twice a day, a healthy diet, and making sure I keep a shaved head and face.

But, man! When I let the hair on my head and face grow, I look 10 years older! My beard comes in white, the sides of my head comes in white, and the top of my head simply refuses to grow.

I've been told many times that I look younger than my age. Which is funny, because I have crows feet that show themselves when I smile and I always had thought those wrinkles made me look older than my age. If I shaved completely clean then nobody would take me seriously, this beard does so much for me.

I am really a child at heart and playful in nature. It is when I am in that happy place of care free light spirits and bouncy off kilter humor. Like you mentioned, your attitude radiates from you, for good or ill.

I think it is a matter of knowing how to categorize yourself that is important. The Satanic Witch by Anton Szandor LaVey, covers this in depth.




HS!

I like many here it seems, have a baby face as well. (I hate that term, but dammit, it is true.) I also often dress like I am going to a box social, so that helps my age, and I don't often get ID'd. Though I have a bit of weight on me (first day at the gym today!) women still find me appealing for whatever reason; usually the same ones that I find attractive as well. (It isn't super flattering being wanted by someone you wouldn't talk to, let alone ever touch) I FEEL older, on an intellectual level. I would rather go to a fancy dinner party then a club everyday, rather drink a good shiraz then a rye and coke, and would rather smoke tobacco from a pipe then a captain black. Hard to describe in detail, but I prefer the fancier things in life, so it is very tough for me to keep other twenty something friends. (Not because I am not capable, but because I don't give a shit about most of them, and they bore me after a couple of short hours) I get along MUCH better with an older crowd, always have, and until I am in my fifties or something, probably always will.

I reached 6'1" at the age of 13 and started getting "scruffy" early, and have been mistaken for being much older since. I have also eschewed modern music and dress for older styles for the most part. and I had a babyface too.

I'm 26 years old, but people always mistake me for younger. Some people have actually thought that I'm 16! I don't mind it, though. When I stop getting ID'd at the liquor store, then I'll feel old.

I am 45 and look much younger, except for my damn grey hair. I would say that there is truth in what you say, simply because it follows the adage, "you are only as old as you feel." If you feel worn out by life and are content to be a bystander, then I think that would manifest itself in physical appearance as well as in one's health in general. If, as a Satanist (or because of your Satanism), you feel a great sense of vigor or contentment within yourself, it stands to reason that would be reflected in your appearance and demeanor (which I think plays a huge part in how we are perceived, age-wise).

ECI summarizes the issues quite well.

Interesting. I was thinking about it lately. It's not only genes although genes play an important role. In my life I had periods of getting older and then getting younger again. Can't really figure why. When I was 30 I looked older than I do now. And it was a long time ago. Some friends even accused me of face lifting and crap. Now girls give me 28. And that feels good
