Is this what women over 45 look like?

I’m turning 44 later this month. Is this what I’ve got to look forward to a year from now. I’m particularly disturbed by the cane.

Given they can’t even spell “walking”, I would say YABU for wasting time looking at that (I’m aware this is not AIBU).

That's hilarious. Thanks for sharing, it was a busy Monday and that genuinely made me chuckle.

gatehouseoffleet · 05/09/2022 17:24

That is hilarious!

While being insulting as well!

NCHammer2022 · 05/09/2022 17:25

I don’t know, but 65+ looks like she’s living her best life so I’m looking forward to that stage!

BrandyandGinger · 05/09/2022 17:25

I'll be 50 soon. Should I be on the lookout for a beret or will it be optional?

Iadorerain · 05/09/2022 17:26

That’s been done by a 12 year old, they think anyone over 20 is ancient.

BaronessBomburst · 05/09/2022 17:26

Not much of a walk either, is it? Hmm

Adversity · 05/09/2022 17:27

WTF a 38 min walk for me? I did 10 miles on Monday.

Discovereads · 05/09/2022 17:27

Oh that is silly. I look nothing like the sketches. They all look eerily similar though as in 45+ is all old to the artist.

So funny!! Can I fast forward to 60 please, she has a cool hairstyle!

I'll ease into a walk. After all, being 46 I am decrepit now.

Despite actually doing a 12 mile hike at the weekend with a bunch of Scouts, and cycling regularly as well.

Where's my walking stick and comfy slacks? 😂

Savingpeoplehuntingthings · 05/09/2022 17:30

I am 50, I need to go purchase a beret!

Farmageddon · 05/09/2022 17:30

So, I've either got to look forward to a cane, or a cat, or a purple helmet haircut....and bulky cardigans for all.

Pixiedust1234 · 05/09/2022 17:31

I cant wait until I'm 65+ and get to do weight training too. Thats a very fat cat, my arms will be super strong Grin

BrandyandGinger · 05/09/2022 17:31

Somebody comments underneath that Leonardo Di Caprio helped design it. You have to love twitter sometimes.

Fallonangel · 05/09/2022 17:31

65 plus is my girl crush 😊

StillMedusa · 05/09/2022 17:32

Shit, I'm 54 and don't own a beret!!! There is no hope for me!!Grin
*long haired skinny jeans and T shirt wearing woman... who walks miles every day anyway with the dog!

That’s also not representative of reality but to the other extreme of perpetual youth.

purplepaintedpineapple · 05/09/2022 17:33

I'm nearly 60 and regularly walk 7-8 miles - probably more than I did when I was 20-30! Utter patronising rubbish !

WonkotheWonderDog · 05/09/2022 17:33

So after 65 you become crazy cat lady in an angora bed-jacket ? - wow!

maranella · 05/09/2022 17:34

I love that 45-50 and 60-65 are the same woman!
