nah. it's just a byproduct of being in the office, basically round-the-clock, for about 2.5 days. will be clean-shaven soon.
btw, i doubt i could grow a full moustache even if i wanted to. i'd wind up in some stubbly, sonny crockett-type moustache and beard, at best.

You look younger than 43.

thanks. i look older than normal in that pic, actually (worn, tired, blah blah blah).
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 28 January 2011 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
we should all look so young at 43
― kate78, Friday, 28 January 2011 23:13 (thirteen years ago) link
No fucking shit. I was told the other day that I don't look 36, which is nice to hear, but the truth is that I'm drooping fast. It seems to all happen at once. By the time I'm 43, I'm going to look 43.

I still get away with looking younger than 39 but its fast catching up with me.

Officially forty in a few weeks FWIW. No idea how old I'm supposed to look, really.

Secrets to looking young, from my experience:
1) Proper hydration at all times.2) Don't smoke (still working on this one myself).3) Stay out of the sun. Certainly don't EVER lie in the sun deliberately because you think it will make you look healthier. It won't.4) Shave your face, you lazy bum. Unkempt stubble adds five years, and doesn't do you any good if you're tending toward a double chin, either. Oddly, a full beard can add much less age to your face, if it's kept tidy.

5) Act your age, not your shoe size.

I've always stayed out of the sun and drank a ton of water so I think that's helped me. Plagued with scottish burninatory skin I had no choice.
But the drink and smoking is playing slow havoc with my skin condition. Also, added weight has kind of made my face puff and sag a little. If I lost it I'd prob look better.
I'm whining, I'm sure I look fine rly.
― Citizen SNPs (Trayce), Friday, 28 January 2011 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link
An extra ten pounds will fill your container out a bit and help with the sagging. An extra 40 pounds will sag just like everything else.
― I am Woolen Man. The scarf and I are one. (kenan), Friday, 28 January 2011 23:50 (thirteen years ago) link
And yes, you do look fine. Better than fine.

i smoke, but i keep getting told that i look a bit younger than i am (i am 40 yay me the old fart). those folks don't see the increasing number of gray hair fortunately :-)
otherwise, i stay outta the sun and shave. plus my parents both looked younger than they really were (at least till recently) so favorable genes are a partial answer.

My state's drivers licenses have this really messed up design where there's a second, small picture of you behind the data around where the birthday is. Somehow my dark shirt in the picture perfectly lines up with the "1" in "1981" making it look like it says "1984."
I get another three years until I turn 30!

But 4real you look like a younger/cuter Jams Murphy.
I was thinkin today abt how I can't wait to be, like, 42. I want to dress GQ as fuck
― vienn?tta (Stevie D(eux)), Saturday, 29 January 2011 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
I can wait. 40's looming like a huge horrible thing that I want to deny. People are hinting that I should have a big party or something but I'd rather go and hide somewhere.

Hope you don't take it into offense when I say that you look a mash-up between noel gallagher and ricky gervais. or in other words: english as fuk.

Well of course (was actually thinking abt that while I typed it) but "GQ" is a more accessible term for the non-stylish masses.

I'm currently trying to slim from a Gervais back down to a Gallagher - and yes, I've heard both before - James Murphy is a new one, less of a prick than Gervais so that's something :)
I'm not English though, I'm proper Northern.

on july 17th i will be 40 years old. Fuck!
kinda stoked, honestly. Never thought i'd make it, and i still have the "I'd rather be 40 than pregnant" t-shirt that I used to wear ironically in the early 90s saved up for the occasion.
