How old is my neck??

Thank you, it is some sort of power trip youre not wrong there! He was doing dominatrix things online, I dodged a slippery slope there. He has some very strange after work activities now.
I am in a much better place, Im dating an old friend who I was close to when I was younger, we had fun then and having even more fun now. She works in health care actually and I mentioned the face yoga video you posted, she said a lot of her clients swear by it. 😀

I haven't looked at your replies. I'd say around 30

Honesty your neck looks good. I would have said 30. Please don’t worry about it. My neck looks awful - mid 50s but there’s not much i do about it now.

That's from muscles sagging in grief and stress. You can snap that back in no time with a bit of face yoga - even an afternoon of laughing with friends and smiling would help. Your neck is otherwise going very well.

I would say your neck is late 20s but I dont think it matters we are all beautiful in our way and should enjoy aging.

It was a lesson I had to learn, my DH talked to other women online (and engaged in solo sexual activity) whilst I was at Yoga class. He thought it was okay and took no responsibility for his actions. I found out by chance and it made me so self conscious, why was he speaking to other women in that nature online but he didnt do anything like with me? Was I not good enough? I got obsessed with every part of my body and analysed it all. Wasted years on diets, creams, lotions, botox and all sorts. Eventually, I realised I'm unique and beautiful, its his loss and my body only defines a part of who I am and if you dont like it then get to walking......

So dont worry about your body, its your soul that matters most. 😊

A lot of men I see past about 30 onwards start to age quite badly. Receding hairlines, crows feet, bad under eye lines, overweight etc. Not everyone of course. But what annoys me more than anything is despite the way they look, they still feel they have a right to comment on women’s appearances and expect to be irresistible to women they take a fancy to 🤣

Sorry, this should be for you @AROUNDagainCrazy

Men age terribly in general! We must be living in parallel universes 🤣

Your neck looks fine, by the way.

But there isn't any accelerated ageing. It's a perfectly normal neck. It's just a thing you've fixated on.

Your neck looks normal. You could be 18 or 50.

I can't tell without counting the rings.

@AROUNDagainCrazy just to get this out of the way, I think you have a very young looking neck - I would have said 30 at most.

In the gentlest way possible though, do you think this preoccupation with your neck could be a manifestation of your reaction to the stress you have been through?

Stressful and/or life-changing events like bereavement often mean a massive shift in our sense of security and control, and our appearance changing as we age can sometimes just augment that feeling.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Men age on their heads ;)

27/28? I'm so jealous! It looks lovely and I would be showing it off!

Sun creams in the 70s/80s were also harder to get and expensive. Plus no one knew how harmful the sun was. I have extremely fair skin and was constantly burnt as a child. We didn't use sun creams as they were too expensive and in the view of the time "not necessary" ...if you burnt you just let it heal and either tanned (or in my case just went white again), no harm done! I have tons of moles and just keep everything crossed that the constant burning doesn't translate into skin cancer.

Difficult to say. I'm 36 and don't have that little saggy bit under my chin, so you might be... 40? 42? Something like that? It's a nice neck, nothing's wrong with it.

You have some neck coming on here worrying about your gorgeous neck lol 😂

The problem about being hyper critical about little things on the body is that they really only get worse as we age. Therefore you will forever be looking in the mirror checking and checking and panicking about something you didn't see yesterday. I'm not criticising you, I'd say we all did it at one point or another.

However, I can reassure you that the day comes when you'll say fuck it, at least I'm alive and enjoying life unlike many of my peers. Because the reality is our skin just ages with lack of hormones etc. post meno.

I have to say I don't give a shit now. I had a serious illness a couple of years ago, was touch and go, lost a shit ton of weight due to it, and guess where the weight came off - my face and neck but I still have the bloody apron round my middle! However the alternative is not nice so I embrace it.

Ageing can be cruel so brace yourself! The day I accompanied a friend to buy a big ticket item (she is just a couple of years younger than me) was the day the music died for me. The assistant asked her what did her "Mum" think? That was me!! I was 62 and friend was 60.

I think most older necks can look ok in a still photograph, it’s how it looks when you are talking and moving around, it comes into a life of its own then, well it does for me at any rate.

Huh?! This is one of the craziest age threads I've ever seen. You have a very normal neck that is very smooth.
