Be grateful for the natural beauty you have at this young age. I'm 52 now and have to wear make-up to enhance my looks. Don't obsess over your looks. But, I do recommend healthy eating and taking care of your body and skin. Being single can bring on a lot of self examination/criticism. Love the person God made you and others will love it too. I'm at the age where I'm super confident in who I am, so some days you get nothing but plain ole (or old) me.

I know that I am still considered "young" but I've been out of high school for just under ten years and still can't figure out where the time went and finding a few gray hairs and noticed a few lines and wrinkles...
I'm gonna say something and I don't want it to come across as being conceited. I am aging like a fine wine because I do take pride in how I care for myself with exercise, diet, and skincare, but it isn't my main priority. I will enjoy life as it comes and thank God for the little blessings he gives us every day. This is what mindset we should have

I've been going grey since I was a teen. I have scars, been stabbed a few times. Punched in the face many times, now my nose is red and I have red blotches on my face. Five years ago, I had to start cutting my nose hair. When I was young, I could sleep 12 hours strait. Now I'm lucky to sleep 4 hours. I have to get out of bed several times to the head. I hate it.
A good friend of mine visited me a few weeks ago and we were talking about how women have to compete with all the other other women from every other age range, and most especially, younger.
My friend is in her mid-30's, tall, thin, and beautiful, with brown hair that falls into loose, beachy waves, along with stunningly bright blue eyes. She's looking for someone a bit older than her, but many times is passed over for women in their 20's.
The sad fact is that a woman has a very limited shelf life when it comes to dating. She has to be young, she has to be fertile, she has to be "bankable" (earn high social approval ratings.)
In my own experience, the Christian dating sites are even worse in a way. I've written about this before, but I'll never forget one guy's profile in which he insisted that he would only talk to women who were "former dancers, cheerleaders, or gymnasts" with "slender, fit figures", because, "God made men visual and so I need a very attractive wife."
I'll at least give him kudos for supposedly posting an honest picture. This guy was, at the very least, 50 pounds overweight with a very noticeable, protruding double chin (almost as large as his own double standards.)
I wanted to write him and say, "If God made men visual, do you think He made women blind?" (Because we'd like to have someone to takes care of himself, too.)
And I am NOT saying at all that it's just men who are this way--every good-looking man I've ever seen at the churches I attended had circles of women hunting him like a school of sharks.
But a 65-year-old man could still have his choice of dates, both around his age and younger, while most women are considered expired by 45 (if not 30), even thought most of the men I've talked to in my age range on dating sites do not want more children--they just like the idea of dating a 25-year-old (though it could just be the men I've talked to and not the general consensus.)
I always say I'm afraid of cosmetic procedures... but the clock only moves forward, and who knows how I'll feel about that in another 10 years (seeing as I'm pretty much "expired" as it is.)
I've had a few really great younger guys ask me out before... and while I'd be more about the person than the age... I do think I'd feel pressured to have surgeries done to try to keep from looking old enough to be his mother. (I can admit that part of my fear of dating someone younger would be losing him in 5 to 10 years when the age difference really started to show, if it didn't already.)

By the way, have your friend look me up if they get out this way.
I lift weights and jog. I don't want to be a girly man..
I'm not particularly worried about being a "girly man". I don't think I've ever been in danger of being accused of that. But I definitely want to stem the tide of my body turning to mush as I age. I'd much rather grow more healthy and in shape as the years go by (or at least hold my ground) than throw my hands up with a "if you can't beat it don't fight it" attitude. One of the things that's always been worrisome to me is how as people age they tend to have a mindset that they are to old or it's too late in life for something. Certainly there are higher barriers in place for some things, but people of all ages achieve all kinds of things, including going to school and starting new careers or going to the gym and eating a few more healthy meals.

The only thing I try to stay mindful of is not giving up on myself as I age.
People still think I'm far younger than I am and I hope that stays a while. Tight skin that is
I think every age has beauty to embrace. There are so many classy and elegant choices for wear and accessories when you're older. I look forward to it.

Why wait till you're old? I've got this.
