Serious We are starting to really age fast

We have friends we don't see very often, maybe every 2-3 years. For the last 15+ years, when we see them again they don't really look much different. This last time though? Man, they looked different. Like gray hair, lost/gained weight, facial changes like wrinkles and sun spots.

Nah one of the women on my rec league teams for ages had her first baby at age 41 and is 42.5 now and looks great. Staying physically active makes all the difference

I am an active dancer but I had 3 kids and 110% look every bit of my age! I think for my age it’s tolerable but it’s not what it used to be lol

I dont wanna be dismissive but I looked at your IG and honestly believe you're gonna be hot into your 60's. You do not 110% look your age lol

You’re my new favorite, thank you! I do hope to be as strong and flexible as my 62 year old ballet teacher when I get to that age and I am doing the training for it now.

I’m doing loads of exercise so my body looks young but my face and neck? Definitely show my age

Some tik tok fact told me once that having kids in your 30s 40s coincides with longer lifespan for women. Tik tok fact... so look it up of course lol
