    60, 60, 62

    If you’re lucky enough to have all your original hair and teeth at 60, and don’t let yourself go to shit, this is easily doable. Here’s me (53) at a costume party last weekend.

    Lemmy: “No one can do this without money!!!”

    Uh, no. A little luck and a lot of self-care is more like it.

      You look how I expect 53 to look, well maintained not young. People are aging more slowly for sure. I look at pictures of my mom at my age and we don’t look the same age.

      But if you don’t have money (for gym or weights, Retin-A, good sunscreen, a job that doesn’t stress the fuck out of you) it really is more difficult. Stress is so aging, rich or not, but less stress is easier with money.

      You’re doing great. Keep up the good work, but 53 is not 60, or 62. There is definitely a magnitude difference there.

      I do my fair share of swiping right and left. I am and enjoy the older crowd, so my filters reflect that. The difference is usually easily observable

        I agree, 45-55 looks similar but somehow 55-65 usually doesn’t. It’s a change like adolescence.

        I do think Martha Stewart has the right approach to cosmetic work, what she does is what I’d do if my purse was bottomless, and I had to be in the public eye.

      You were not bad in Lost and Succession but you really should be ashamed of yourself for the Short Circuit movies.

      I’m 40 and clearly balding since mid 30s. It sucks and I thought I wasn’t vain enough to care.
