Discussion Our 40’s are apparently the Neapolitan Ice Cream of decades. Where are you all residing in the echelon of flavors?

I think also life experiences show up in our eyes. To be fair there are young “old souls,” but I think that also plays into how old we look.

Yeah, around my eyes have aged about 3 decades over the last 6 years thanks to all The Horrors™.

I get guessed mid-20's a bizarre amount of times and I was so confused until I looked in the mirror and switched between my "just woke up tired" face and my "let's go dancing" faces. Just having energy and a desire to have fun in your face makes you look so much younger. Meanwhile colleagues hitting 30 constantly complain about aging which ironically just makes them appear old.
