Yeah. I tried that and no one made any comment. I went back to telling them I was 80. I got 10 years younger and the reaction from others was no different.

Jerry, All of these comments made me go look for this one:
A lady in her late 40's went to a plastic surgeon for a facelift. The doctor told her of a new procedure called 'The Knob.' A small knob is planted on the back of a woman's head and can be turned a click or two to tighten up the skin, forever producing the effect of a brand-new facelift. Of course, the woman wanted 'The Knob.' Fifteen years later, the woman went back to the surgeon with two problems.
"All these years, everything had been working just fine.
I've had to turn "The Knob" on lots of occasions and I've loved the results.
However, now I've developed two annoying problems.
First of all, now I have these terrible bags under my eyes and 'The Knob' won't get rid of them!"
The doctor looked at her and said,
"Those aren't bags, those are your breasts. You've turned 'The Knob' way too tight!"
She replied,
"Well, I guess that explains the goatee."

I can't understand why aging "stars" get plastic facial surgery. They usually look ridiculous. Everyone knows that they're old, so why would they make themselves look ridiculous?
Of course, I still look like I'm twenty-five, so that's not a concern for me. 😁

Don't forget, there is ego, there is super ego, and there is something way beyond that that only politician, celebrities, and preachers understand.

I've been saying that for years. If a 50 year old tries to tell you that they are 40, the first thing you think is that they must have had a hard life. But if the 50 year old says that they are 60, you say WOW what do you do to look so young

I find that totally mystifying. Of course, for people who do that, money is no object.
Years ago, there was a series on TV that gave people plastic surgery to correct physical "problems." Some were actual problems, and some were perceived problems. Occasionally, two of these newly-made beautiful people would get married. I wonder if they realized that their kids would have their original "defects." One woman wasn't satisfied with her new look and sued the program off the air.

Maybe they don't see themselves in the same way? Maybe they were not able to envision how they might look? We are not stars. We don't think the way they do.

More women (and men) have subtle plastic surgery than you realize. A bit of a tuck here, a bit of filler there. A good plastic surgeon knows how to achieve a "younger" look without most people realizing it. Now, with laser and cooltouch and other innovations, actual "surgery" isn't even necessary. It is expensive, though. I worked for a plastic/reconstructive surgeon for 22 years, and I cringe when I see someone who has overdone it. Dolly Parton, though beautiful, doesn't look like herself any more. Jane Fonda had too much done and has expressed regret. Many of the entertainment people are under peer pressure, social media pressure, etc., to maintain a youthful look, and many have body dysmorphia - a mental health condition in which one can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in face or body, and go to great lengths to disguise them.
I feel the same way about covering one's body with tattoos. Why?

That's funny. My father-in-law is 97 and he goes around the grocery store, starts a conversation. It usually starts by I'm 97, do look that old?
