    60, 60, 62

    If you’re lucky enough to have all your original hair and teeth at 60, and don’t let yourself go to shit, this is easily doable. Here’s me (53) at a costume party last weekend.

    Lemmy: “No one can do this without money!!!”

    Uh, no. A little luck and a lot of self-care is more like it.

      You’re doing great. Keep up the good work, but 53 is not 60, or 62. There is definitely a magnitude difference there.

      I do my fair share of swiping right and left. I am and enjoy the older crowd, so my filters reflect that. The difference is usually easily observable

      You look how I expect 53 to look, well maintained not young. People are aging more slowly for sure. I look at pictures of my mom at my age and we don’t look the same age.

      But if you don’t have money (for gym or weights, Retin-A, good sunscreen, a job that doesn’t stress the fuck out of you) it really is more difficult. Stress is so aging, rich or not, but less stress is easier with money.
