I am hating the way I look

[insidious]

Seriously.

I'm scraping 40 now and I look in the mirror daily and I find myself micro-analyzing my face and I don't think I like what I see any more.

My looks were never going to melt girl's hearts, but I used to work past that and still get laid regularly cause I just didn't give a s**t.

But I think aging has made me more AFC!

Oh my, this is not good.

Thing is dudes, I'm still banging a chick, she's 28 (OK, she's married), but the point is, in spite of that, my self-esteem is starting to plummet with my age.

Any oldsters (or wise youngsters) out there who can set my mind at ease??

Bro I hear ya--I started critiquing my face at about 40 too. Stay out of sun, use sunless lotion for color. Use a high quality facial cleaner in AM. I use Preperation H for circles under eyes (models swear by it) Hows your genetics? Mom and Dad stil look good?

I mean you can always save for a facelift if your that vain. The big thing now is HGH--human growth hormone, which is fountain of youth in an injectable form. Dr's script required. IM me if your interested

Other than that, we can try to slow down age, but it will always win in the end. Its a state of mind, Good luck!

Thanks for the pointers dude, that's all good advice, sometimes you just wanna hear someone else with the same problem It's not like I sit there 24/7 thinking about thit crap, but lately I think about it MORE, you know?

My genetics are weird...my dad has aged well but you can tell he's an old fart. My mom has NEVER aged well. She looked like a gramma at 30. The thing is, there are some women who think I'm 30...

I think it might be the beginnings of MID LIFE CRISIS!

You're pushing 40 and some women think you're 30? Forgive me for overlooking the obvious, but how is this a bad thing?

I'm 37 and I'm beginning to worry about my hairline. In the last several years it's been slowly creeping backwards . My plan is to wear a military cut (which is what I have now) or a shaved head (something I haven't done since college--long before it was the trendy thing to do).

As for my face, well, I've never been too happy with my countenance, but I've never worried about it too much. I can pass for 30, I think, but like you, I tend not to melt girls' hearts.

How are you in your overall health? Do you lift (I'm not talking about lifting six pack of Bud every night )? What you put in your body has a big factor on the physical aspect.

Sun worshipping can make a 20-year old face look like a buffalo's butt. That should be no surprise to a lot of people.

One last part of the equation is your attitude towards life. I know easier said than done. Good looks mean nothing if you have a lousy perspective on life.

Wow I never heard that one before.

Are you saying that Prep H will get rid of dark circles or wrinkles?

May be something to remember for the future.

Are you sure about that???

"I use Preperation H for circles under eyes (models swear by it)..."

---Whoa! Do you have a cite for the article or website or source of information suggesting this?! Preparation H is supposed to treat hemorrhoids (sp?)!

I dont know about buffalo's butts... but I would like to look older.
I look younger by 5-7 years and this creates problems sometimes.
Do you think I have just get more sun?

Of course we all know it releives hemmoroids, but it also reduces the swelling of the tissue around the hemmoroid. Same principle around the eyes--or baggy eyes. Reduces swelling. Just be carefull, don't get in IN the eye!
