    My favorite thing about maintaining a youthful appearance into my 40's is that every person who was ever been a jerk to me because they weren't attracted to me is already turning into a gargoyle, and I'm over here doing pretty okay with my fey blood. (Except for a slightly weird eye that will eventually get really weird, thanks to a genetic condition.)

    Exercise, healthy food, and sunscreen pay with interest as we age. Mom is early 60s looks late 40s.

    I said it before, but people are often schocked when they find out how old i am. Especially 20ish year olds who think 30 is ancient. When i tell them basically that, they lose all interest. Oh, so it's not a magic pill and takes the slightest bit of efforts? Stop wasting my time.

    Oh yeah.

    I'm in my 40's but look like I'm in my late 20's or early 30's and that's always what people guess when the issue comes up. Thankfully, I feel like I'm in my 30's still too.

    The only downer is my hair is starting to gray, so in 5 years or so I'm going to be more of a silver fox. :D

    I'm totally sympathetic aside from the whole focus on looks thing. Being older doesn't mean you're ugly. I know you say you're trying to be humorous, but it's not humorous because a lot of people sincerely treat women that way. Also, money is not that important for most people, either, beyond being able to take care of yourself.
