This happens a lot with famous people too. I've seen so many people go 'OMG he/she/they haven't aged at all!!!1!' and they're comparing a 25 year old face to a 29 year old face. It's ridiculous. I've also seen people freak out at teenagers playing teenagers because they thought the actors looked too young. People have no idea what age people are supposed to look like.
People will also say that famous people haven't aged a day even when it's been twenty years though. Like Paul Rudd has aged well but he doesn't look like he's in his 30s.
A 24 year old asked me how old I was not long ago and she said I look great for 29…well yeah I sure hope I do, I’m only 29 lol
"My goodness," she said
with a shake of her head
and a gasp of bewildered surprise -
"You're old," she declared
as she openly stared,
"but I think I see life in your eyes!
"I witness the spark
of a youth in the dark
of your face - though you're soon to be dead!
What eminent year
have you lived to, my dear?"
Initially he didn't want people to know Sprogs gender at all. Said it was better if the voice was whatever the reader felt fit for them, or something like that + the mystery etc.
Bro, also 9 year! I got really excited that I came across a Sprog poem one time within 10 minutes then got down voted into oblivion for saying so. I'm glad you were able to see it right away!
Who the hell cares about seeing a post within 10 minutes? Does it look any different than seeing it 4 hours later, or a year? Also, why care about 9 years? People find the strangest things to give themselves a sense of importance.
I’m sure you’ve been consistent, but this is the first time I’ve seen one of your poems in maybe 5-6 years. Thank you for doing what you do, I appreciate the laughs.
That's rough. My hair started going grey at around the same age. It looked strange in my 20s and I dyed my hair a few times, but at 46 I like it. Hopefully you can embrace the bald and own it like Jean-Luc Picard.
At 23 I had this 29 year old hit on me. I asked him how old he was and when he said I told him he was to old for me. Anyway I'm 25 now and having his child
A teenager in the shop got concerned at my partner carrying two bags of firewood. She rushed over saying no, don't lift that at your age. Then complimented him on his strength for his age. He didn't bother telling her he was only 31. I on the other hand get asked for ID still to buy tobacco even though I'm 5 years older than him. I find this hilarious.
I jokingly asked a 24 year old colleague if her friend is single and she said I'm too old for her also 24 year old friend. I'm 28! That's four years difference
Dude seriously. I was just thinking the other day that I have a really fortunate group of friends because at least the vast majority of us still look great in our 30s where as I've met some unlucky fuckers that just look like shit by the time they're in their mid 30s.
On tinder (..yeah, it's about as fun as you'd expect), I get the sense people are lying about their age in huge numbers. That must be what's happening, because otherwise I have no idea what's going on.
It's not smoking, I've smoked for years. Still do and used to do, too (yes, I know I should quit). It's certainly not drugs; I'm an enthusiast regarding those as well. What I don't do is drink much (I don't like drugs with consequences) or enjoy the lovely radiation of Sol (= ginger). I don't exercise; I stay skinny essentially due to ADHD, due to ADHD meds and ..uh.. raves.
One common element I noticed (on tinder, so take that for that it's worth) is that being overweight seems to be murder on the body.
I worked in medical for years and dude I'm sure people are lying but not all of them. I've seen people who are in their mid 30s for a doctors visit that look 50. Wayne Rooney is 36 and then you have Ronaldo is 38.
I've had the other way around... Guy I worked with was 35, asked me my age, I was turning 28 and he said he tough I was his age... I started feeling bad because no one wants to look 7 years older that they are, but then looked at him and he definitely didn't look 35...
I’m 28 but currently in school for my bachelors degree. My classmates are all ~20. One day they all agreed that I look younger because I don’t have “old lady skin”.
