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.

I've got 6 cats.

Blimey! how old do you have to be to get that many?

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

Seconded

Clearly never heard of Kate Moss (48).

Not much of a walk either, is it? Hmm

I'm 43 and I went up Scafell Pike last week. Better finish the Wainwrights before I'm 45 then.

YesitsBess · 05/09/2022 18:43

Seconded

Thirded. I am willing to carry a cane if I get more cats. By the time I am 90 I will have 10, hopefully.

I like that after 65 the man gets to put on a t-shirt. The 40+ men are totes realistic.

I noticed that too! At least us (ancient!) Women get to wear clothes for our walks!🤣

ilovesushi · 05/09/2022 18:46

Hilarious! Is the carrying a cat on your walk optional or part of the exercise plan? Love how 65 plus are all lumped together but very precise division by ages before that. Utterly nuts. Did this person ever meet a woman over the age of 40? Or any woman at all? Or a human?

mattermore · 05/09/2022 18:48

That's mad! I notice only white women exist post 45 too.

CactusBlossom · 05/09/2022 18:50

Hilarious! For a moment, I thought it was an umbrella rather than a cane. The artist could be 12 - 13, when everyone over 21 seems to be positively ancient. Looks like I'm gong to have to cut down on my walking to meet the target!

Midsomerwine · 05/09/2022 18:50

Is this a joke?

WiddlinDiddlin · 05/09/2022 18:50

Ugh.

What happens when you buy a graphics package from somewhere cheap and nasty rather than employ an illustrator.

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

I do too, and I’m 73

Macaroni1924 · 05/09/2022 18:52

do they start to look better as they age because they have been walking so long?! The oldest 2 look the best 🙈 and miraculously she loses the cane after 45-50 🤣

Theala · 05/09/2022 18:54

A friend of mine looks exactly like the 50-55 woman, although she claims to be only 47. Hmm...🤨

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 05/09/2022 18:57

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 05/09/2022 18:20

Where’s the 80 year old whose walk consists of tottering from sofa to gin cupboard and back again?

I quite like the sound of that!

How many cats does she have?

TollgateDebs · 05/09/2022 19:01

OMG, that's a joke!

lljkk · 05/09/2022 19:01

google images cannot find the original, not on the health app website either. Weird.

rubydoobydoo · 05/09/2022 19:02

I'm 44 - just off out for a run while I still can 😅

I currently have 10 cats. Do I still get another one when I hit 50? Something to aim for!

HRTQueen · 05/09/2022 19:03

Yes we do 😊

and when you reach closer to 50 you also have a constant layer of sweat over your body with the over done it with rouge look on your cheeks (hair tends to be a bit frizzy then too)

This photo was taken last year when I was 47. I don’t look much different now.

I had a cat last year too. Sadly he was killed. 🙁

Is this what women over 45 look like?

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!

I'm 67 and I don't look like that.

pointythings · 05/09/2022 19:10

I'm 54, does this mean I'm not allowed my cats? Shock

OldFan · 05/09/2022 19:10

lol zomg. And the 65+ one looks younger than she was at 45. So who needs walking? Grin

Did you see the men one?!?! I wonder who designed that graphic 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

This is patently absurd!
Laughably so.
All the men look ripped, all the women look like centenarians.
