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.

Whoa! Both are inaccurate, but wow!

theDudesmummy · 05/09/2022 18:26

Hey cool! For my age group I get the sprig on my head and the mismatched trousers and doily collar. I think I can rock the look.

Honestly though, wtf!

AuntMasha · 05/09/2022 18:26

😂 😝

I feel like sending this link to Kate Beckinsdale!

topcat2014 · 05/09/2022 18:26

I'm 50. When do I get my age appropriate six pack?

cormorant5 · 05/09/2022 18:27

Now I know why they call over 30s disco as 'grab a granny night'

Drinkinggreentea · 05/09/2022 18:28

Hilarious! Cracked up when I saw both versions.

stopitstopitnow · 05/09/2022 18:29

If that is what a 50 year old man looks like, I'd best send DP back as he appears to be broken.

YesitsBess · 05/09/2022 18:22

@Ryder68 dammit. Are you sure they have your correct address? I hope your cat hasn’t gotten lost in the post!

Or someone here got an extra cat by mistake and kept schtum about it......😑

I am so pleased to see that the 60 to 65 woman has found the shirt and sunglasses she lost 15 years ago. I expect she was having a bit of a Marie Kondo clear out and found they still sparked joy.

blueshoes · 05/09/2022 18:32

Thanks, I had a good giggle.

So this is what men 45-65 look like. Mwahahahahahhahaha <tears>

Is this what women over 45 look like?

By the sounds of it quite a lot of that batch are faulty. Class action lawsuit I reckon.

MillennialFalconer · 05/09/2022 18:33

65+ is me at 21, complete with fuzzy cardie and cat! Though that being said, I don't have the cardie anymore, and have since gained 2 more cats.

Cryingbutstilltrying · 05/09/2022 18:33

I actually can’t wait to turn 45 now, only 4 months to go!
I’ve got the chunky cardi look down already.
Can I swop the cat for a dog though? I’m not big on cats.
Thanks.

YesitsBess · 05/09/2022 18:34

@topcat2014 not until @Ryder68 gets her cat.

Hang on….are you Her cat?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/09/2022 18:35

The artist is probably about 10 whereby anyone over the age of 25 is decrepit. 😂. That'll definitely be me at 65 though rocking her pink hair with the cat, shes cool.

Ryder68 · 05/09/2022 18:36

There's going to be a thriving black market in cat /dog swaps isn't there

TheClogLady · 05/09/2022 18:37

I now demand a new version where the woman barely changes but each life stage gains an additional cat.

iloveeverykindofcat · 05/09/2022 18:37

When men turn 65, they are awarded a shirt.

Sending this to my pretty fit and athletic 37 yr old partner asking why he's not the incarnation of Thor.

Ryder68 · 05/09/2022 18:38

Fess up @topcat2014 ......

ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 05/09/2022 18:38

WonkotheWonderDog · 05/09/2022 17:33

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

I'm one already and I'm only 42. Have been since I was 12! Not sure about the bed jacket though the cats will probably sleep on it.

ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 05/09/2022 18:39

I've got 6 cats.

LobeliaBaggins · 05/09/2022 18:40

Today was not a good day but this cheered me right up:)

cakewench · 05/09/2022 18:41

Deliberately goady to inspire people to rageclick.

But it did make me smile, thanks Grin

Truthlikeness · 05/09/2022 18:41

Im 48 and still playing competitive 11-a-side football against women half my age. I should probably tone it down a bit.

Candleabra · 05/09/2022 18:42

Honestly this has really made me laugh
