"I'm not happy about it, but I'm accepting of my newly found wrinkles & the grey hairs popping up.
If they bothered me that much I'd probably Botox them but at the moment I don't really care.
Mrs "
Our daughter is a little younger than you but not much. She has regular Botox. I think not really caring is not only less expensive but a better mind set.  |

I am just over 40. I don't concern myself too much with the number or the implications of it. I'm very comfortable talking about death and I am not trying to stop the time as such minus putting a dye on my hair Here for a short while to collect some meaningful moments with people who matter - that's my attitude.

Aging is just nature taking its course,
How you conform to what your told about age is your business.
Live and let live!
As long as you keep your body healthy, age really is just a number |

In terms of appearance, I don't care.
In terms of health problems, it concerns me, because it's an increase in vulnerability in a world where safety nets are being ripped away, and where those who have needs are demonised. |

"aging? Or age.
"
I have always been attracted to an older woman and as I am getting older myself I personally feel that I am right. Older ladies are the fabbing sexiest..  |

I think you're right to be concerned. If possible we need to provide our own safety nets . |

"Luckily, men age like wine. Bring it on
Good attitude.
Is that vintage or Aldi £2:99?"
Don’t confuse quality with cost. Where I live you can get a great bottle of wine for under €3.

Of course, but I don't think many of us are equipped to be able to provide for ourselves in a world without safety nets for healthcare, aged care, etc. Depending on how bad it gets, pension plans might turn into euthanasia plus funeral plans. |

It sometimes bothers me, as my face ages, but then I've lost too many friends already and tell myself off for being a bit vain.
I do worry about my knee, had an operation in my early twenties and was told I may be at more risk of arthritis. Mobility issues etc worry me I don't want to become a burden on my children. I'm trying to be like my uncle he's just celebrated his 70th birthday by an all day hike with his mates, with pub pitstops. He still goes out and quizzes with them on a weekly basis. He's inspiring me to not become complacent. |

It simply won't be possible for many to provide for their old age. Apart from the fact that most of us just don't believe we'll ever get old not many are in the position to make provision for the future to that extent. |

I try to look after myself as best as I can in terms of my health. That’s all I can do really.
That’s also true regardless of age - but as I get older I’m also more aware of making sure to give my body what it needs. |

I'm not being rude at all but I laugh when people refer to 70 year olds as 'still' going out to the pub  . It's only three years away for me and I think I'll manage it. My dad's 96 and has a better social life than I do but he sticks to Wetherspoons for his pub visits now.

It doesn't bother me much.
It gets funny at work sometimes.
I work mostly with people close to 60 and people in their early 20's.
There's only two of us in the early 40's range.
I'm lucky with aging.
Doesn't take anything away from my beauty.
Ugly guys age better.

I think one of the biggest gifts people can do for themselves as they get older. 40+ onwards is to do some weight training as your body will thank you for it in your 50/60/70s and try keep muscle mass on somewhat to counter natural degradation each decade |

Our perception of age is so subjective anyway. I did some work with a woman a few years ago (no longer with us) who referred to the Queen as "that young lady" |

That's a fair comment, it's because I compare him with my mum who is 63 and is a bit hermit like already. And I can see the differences between them if that makes sense? I appreciate that didn't come across in my first post though. |

In most aspects, my life has got a whole load better and happier, the older I've got.
I'm looking forward to retirement when I have so much more time to do the things I love in life. The only downside to aging is failing health. I worry more about being poorly and loosing my independence than I do about actually dying.
Life is back to front, when you're young and have your health but not necessarily the money, and your time is taken up with work and family. When your old and have money and hopefully family is grown up and settled, you may not have my health. |

Denial!
I flatly refuse to let it happen to me.
I don’t remember birthdays, and I don’t know old I am. When asked, I say: “Just past 29”.
I have a first class diet, including a wide range of supplements.
I exercise regularly – at least 30 minutes every day except Sunday.
I keep my testosterone (sex hormone) blood levels the same as those of a 30-year-old man’s.
So far, it’s working – I’m still slim, fit, and have no grey hair. I have plenty of get-up-and-go, and I’m never sick, except for a cold maybe every year or two.
It costs time and money, but I reckon that good health is priceless.

I love it and I hate it equally! I love the confidence aging brings, the 'I don't give a monkeys arse..' attitude, the freedom and less responsibility getting older brings! But I hate that my body can't keep up with how young and free my brain feels! I want to jump out of bed and embrace the day but my body insists on a good 2 hour warm up and a twice daily massage with voltarol! It's frustrating but I'm definitely happier in my 50s than I've ever been before!

It is what it is. However, I do have to say I was a bit traumatised when combing my hair before work in the car the other day I found a thicket of white hair, I couldn't pull it out otherwise I'd have had a bald patch! :D It's when it's smacked in your face and you get a reminder, yep your getting old, that its a bit disheartening, but it's the way life is. When you can slowly glide into it, it's not so bad, as you don't notice it. |

For myself I don't really care. As Tina said it's better than the alternative.
I am mildly concerned about extreme old age so try to maintain good health and fitness as far as possible but I am lazy too.
Would I consider surgery or Botox? Probably not, mostly because it's expensive and I'm too scared and as above I'm lazy
I don't try to act or look younger than I am but neither do I think that certain behaviours and styles of dressing are just for particular age groups.
I dislike immaturity.
If someone offered me the chance to look twenty years younger with no effort, cost or pain would I accept? Damn right I would |

I’m not that bothered by it. There’s nothing I can do to stop it, so won’t give it headspace. My only concern with age is ensuring my little one outlives me, and that I’m around long enough to give her the tools to get a better start than I had. |

In all honesty? I am scared.
Just back from spending the night at my mother-in-law’s. She’s falling at least a couple of times a day and we’ve arrived to the conclusion that she can’t be on her own anymore. She is very overweight, smoked most of her life and now she is seeing the reflection of that in her very reduced mobility.
If anything has spurred me to get my arse to the gym again was last night. I don’t want to lose my independence or put my children through any of that in the next 30 years or so. Of course I only have control over some things, not over cancer of other illnesses or conditions which can be catastrophic in the long run. |

I’m embracing my age and honestly feel I’m in my most content stage ever.
Kids are grown up and doing well, I recently had the courage to end a relationship that wasn’t right and I feel in relatively good health.
I have a lot to be thankful for  |

On one hand, I am the most comfortable in my own skin (and mind) I have ever been. I'm happy to have the understanding and experience I've gained in my "advanced" years. Someone asked the other day if I would go back to being twenty-something and the idea horrified me!
On the other hand, I tried to message some fitty on fab the other day and found I was outside of their age range filter on the upper end.
Completely devastated.
(Tiny exaggeration. You get the idea) |

It's not the cosmetic stuff it's the health stuff that is of concern.
Having never fully recovered (and won't until a knee or two replaced)from a running accident almost 3 years ago I am conscious of what impact poor health can have on all aspects of life. Miss the life I had but accept the life I have and enjoy it to the full. |

"As you get older - 40 plus - you naturally start to embrace it
I think pre-40 it's viewed as the end of life as you know it! "
It’s a state of mind, tempered by nature. At 40 I thought I would slow down at 50. I didn’t. At 50 I thought I would slow down at 60. I didn’t. Still doing all the same stuff, and very active. I still compete against others half my age and feature in the upper overall results and usually top of my coffin dodger class….
When I feel age and nature has got the better of me, I will just bow out. |

Euthanasia is available now. Sort of.
In 2009 my 90-year-old mother was hospitalised with arthritis and heart problems.
I was asked to sign a “Do not resuscitate” authorisation for her.
She starved herself to death in the hospital bed.

I don’t really think much about getting older. It’s something that happens to us all.
I worry about possibly losing physical ability to do some things and then my independence but who knows if or when that will happen? So I don’t.

I think this is something that comes to people at different ages - watching your parents decline, or maybe grandparents if they decline after the point where you become aware of these things. Or those with disabilities, or around those with disabilities.
(I'm just musing, not going after you or anyone else)
Contemplating my disabilities, those in my family, and the health of my grandparents... I worry that my pension/ superannuation plans are a complete waste of fucking time. Society is not going to be able to accommodate me when I get there, and if I contributed 1000% of my income, a society without a safety net is one I can't afford to live in after a certain age. Not "I'll scrape by", more "my life will be unaffordable within any means I can possibly imagine, no matter how unreasonable those means are" |

It never really bothered me but after my accident this year I've really aged due to limited mobility. I still get told I don't look my age but I more than feel it.

I sometimes think about how my body will be, mobility wise, in 10 years time, and wonder what I'll be able to do with my great-grandchildren as they get older.
Where relationships are concerned, I spent 2½ days with a 36 year old man last week and didn't feel old.
We went to the high street together, had a coffee in Costa and did a bit of a shop in Sainsbury.
I didn't feel over 20 years older than him.
I'm enjoying life while I'm still able to.

Aging physically is inevitable, some days I like it more than others but might as well accept what you must and adapt or change what you can/want to.
Main benefit is experience and not giving a fuck as there’s no need “to prove” anything. Literally take it or leave it.

For myself? I haven’t given it much thought. I joke about my aging but I think I’m aging fairly well; I don’t yet need glasses although I likely will in the next year or two and I’m fairly active mentally and physically. As some have said, it’s failing health and mental acuity that worries me. My appearance doesn’t concern me.

To be honest I like it. I think women mature sexually as they got older - they know what they want and they have less hang ups about caring what others think.
As long as you stay healthy then life improves - and the sex is definitely better. |

I kind of see aging as a clock face.
You are born at "12".
Average UK life expectancy is 81.
So on the clock, that 8pm basically.
You can easily see "where you are" on the clock.
I'm 55, so in terms of a plane landing, I'm kind of on "Final Approach". I can see the lit runway from here.
That's how I see it, anyway.

"Mostly love it, as the wisdom and inner maturity beats the physical. And it's as natural a part of living as all of life . Embrace the change and opportunities
I agree with you about the inner maturity. It's so peaceful. I confess I don't understand people who are proud of being immature. "
I think people mistake maturity for an inability to have fun.
Maturity is, in part, knowing when you can be silly and when you shouldn't. |

No point wasting any concern on it, it’ll happen unless you unalive yourself and that’s not a viable alternative.
Stay active, eat well, drink plenty of water and it won’t be half as bad as you fear it may be. |

"aging? Or age.
I'm not in favour. When I reach 60, I'm going to start getting younger again.
Picture in the attic?
You should see me without my wig and lipstick! "
I don't wear a wig but I don't look alive until I've got my lipstick on |

Hell yes. We were all in our fifties at the time. Mr N and I left early. They hadn't even been drinking. I understand they were bored it wasn't an exciting evening but they weren't toddlers |

Maturity is... I dunno. Arranging a time for that to happen, lining the walls with tarp, and everyone arriving in their swimming costumes.
Or joking about it happening but not actually doing it, because who'd want to clean that up. |

Maturity in my opinion is realising the evening is boring and thinking of ways to improve it that won't impact negatively on other people. Make interesting conversation, suggest we all leave the restaurant and go and play on the swings or admit the evening isn't going well and politely suggest we bring it to a close. |

Fucking hate it, body is failing mind isn't far behind.
I'd love to be one of those sprightly pensioners in years to come.
Work is getting harder, getting up for work even harder I was a miserable fucker in my 30's,40's and now in my 50's if I make it to 60 and beyond I'm going to be a fucking nightmare
Think I need to find God and serenity if I want to survive. |

"Having recently lost my best friend in her early 40s to an aggressive cancer, I feel rather privileged to be able to age in good health."
It always puts things into sharp perspective doesn't it. Sorry to hear your friend passed away |

It does.
Things never look the same after that.
I believe she is in a better place now after all she’s been through in such a short period of time.
And thank you x |
