LOL. I am looking 44 in the eye, and I still don't feel it (except in the muscles, on bad days). I see guys who are ostensibly in my age range and think "Wow, he's too old for me." I wear my hair as I like, and the hell with what people think of it.
Then again, I was absolutely sure I would never see 18, and so every single year has been a gift since then. I don't worry much about my mental age, and so far, my physical age is pretty young. Yes, I have a few wrinkles and under my eyes is dark, but the only women who *don't* get wrinkles are the ones who never *use* their faces. No real smiles, no tears, no allowing emotion to show. I've worked with some of those, and they are creepy beauty queen people. I would rather have every line on my face than not have experienced everything that makes me who I am.
Welcome to 36. It really does keep on getting better!
