I'm 51 and feel younger and more adventurous than I was at 26 !! Also, WAY MORE CONFIDENT!!! Isn't that the truth? I feel much more confident and beautiful now than I ever did in my twenties. I used to only say that it sucks that guys look better with age, but as I compare photos of my twenty year old self to me now, I have to say I think I look better now. I FEEL better now too.

I'm 18. I think there tend to be less super young people on here because super young people tend to be a bit more conformist, a very good trait to grow out of. That's a bit harsh, don't you think? A lot of young people are still growing and haven't discovered this aspect of themselves, yet. I knew I felt odd when the subject came up, but I didn't stumble across the idea devoteeism until my early 20's. Even then, it was an accident. I don't think it's harsh. Maybe I don't get the nuance as I am not a native speaker. But what karotix5 wrote makes perfect sense to me. One of the many reasons why I haven't fully accomplished my devness was that I was afraid of being different.

Age is, at it's core, just a number.
We're growing and evolving all the time no matter how many years we have to our name.
The good thing about that is learning new things and giving the knowledge that you already have in order to help others grow and evolve alongside you.
The bad thing about that is that it's too easy to put too much (or indeed too little) pressure on yourself to have acheived a certain thing by a certain age.
Then as a result of that we can all too easily compare ourselves to others in a negative light.
We can also put on airs and fronts (pretending in other words) that we have acheived some kind of maturity simply by being 'ahead' of others and then deride them for being 'below' that level. Ironically, that attitude is further than maturity then that person would realise.
We all go through that stage in our lives. I certainly did. In fact, I still do. But we grow out of it fairly quickly.
The key is to learn and put ourselves in other's shoes before judging them.
There, I think I made some kind of point.

Problem with confident, know what they want women is that they can be very and I mean VERY demanding 😬😛👍🏻 Since when is that a problem? The problem is is that there simply aren't enough to go around.

Nipple recovery programme? Why wasn't I made aware of this? Y'see, THAT's the reason I'm single. I'm handsome, athletic within reason and have a grin that could make a nun swoon from 30 paces. But it's my dented left nipple that has let me down. I'll stop now, all this talk of nipples is probably utter bollocks.

Well, I'm much older than the bunch of you but at times I detest my aging body but I have to say that its really freeing in a lot of ways getting older. Waay past menopause and those pesky hormonal ups and downs. Kids grown and really enjoy them as adults. Single after being married 35 yrs. Can do and go where and when I like. Discovering new interests and growing all the time. Have been able to indulge my sexual exploration a bit that never happened during my marriage. No, not dead yet.

When I was in my teens and twenties I desperately wanted to to conform to what was around me, never wanting to stand out from or disagree with my peers. By the time I was 40 I was learning to be myself and by 45 actually liking myself. My attitude now I'm in my 50's is if you like me that's great but if you don't that's your problem. I wouldn't go back to my 20's for anything. R.

As cliche as it may sound... I think gray hair is sexy lol. I especially always liked the salt and pepper look (on all genders, not just men). I love it when a younger person goes gray early and just lets it happen. I have a friend in her early 30s who is half gray already and it looks freaking awesome lol.
I'm definitely in the camp of wanting to fit in and be normal (in SOME ways) when I was younger, and have definitely shed a lot of that as I've gotten older. In fact its one of the reasons I actually like getting older lol. Interestingly though I was very weird and rebellious in many ways (still am lol) and do appreciate that about myself, but there were/are some things that I would have given anything to just blend in and be normal... Devness being at the top of the list!!! I still struggle with that one
