When Your Age Doesn’t Match Who You Are

Jane Fonda 2013I never really believed that age discrimination existed until I was edged out of certain opportunities simply by virtue of how many years I have been on the planet. Is our society so shallow and youth obsessed that a chronological marker will be be so easily and quickly used to omit people from the mix? This seems so off-kilter in our aging population.

Recently Jane Fonda was recently seen on the red carpet looking absolutely dazzling at the ripe old age of 75. Yet all the haters had to comment on how she had work done. Honestly, who CARES if she had work done? She looks incredible. What people choose to have in the way of surgical intervention is their business and if it boosts their self-confidence, then I am all for it. It certainly does not look like Jane Fonda cares one bit about being a so-called senior citizen.

Ask me how old I feel on a daily basis and I will tell you that I honestly feel like I am about 31 or 32. I do NOT feel my age at all. Thanks to decent genetics, clean food, and regular exercise, I also don’t look anywhere close to my age. So please do not judge me on the basis of what shows on my driver’s license. That is just plain shallow.

  1. Wow! She is 75? Incredible with or with out plastic surgery that is incredible. Our culture needs to grow up. We are obsessed over the youth which is ignorant. The American culture associates youthfulness with attractiveness because generally speaking, most people are healthier in their youth. But, that does not have to be so! You can be healthy at any stage in life…but it takes work, dedication and education. Being healthy=being attractive! And being healthy can happen at any age! 🙂 And yes, you look fantastic for ANY age! And you do look a lot younger then you are. Good for you! You deserve it.
