To think when you get to a certain age, you have to choose between your figure or your face as you can't have both

[Shutupanddrive]

Someone told me this the other day, it had never occurred to me before. So basically if you keep your figure, your face looks a bit haggard. Or if you have a bit more weight on your body, your face looks better. Is this true? So which one will you be/are? Or Aibu?

Got to say I'm aghast at people doing botox at 28...

Will Smith's wife is on the dreaded mail online website today, saying how she never eats for pleasure. She is wearing a pair of shorts and she looks 50, not 40. Sorry to be bitchy.

ROAR

funnily enough I have been compared to Joan Crawford on many occasions!! (But thankfully never by my children)

Oh, that's tickled me

God I am a bit like her too if ds saw this I would be doomed

And accidentally over doing the eyebrow dye this morning didn't help

Bette i mean

Arthur - you mean a 1661??

16 from the back, 61 from the front - I'm sure you're not.

Or a BOBFOC???

Body Off Baywatch Face Off Crimewatch

that is so funny

Are you wearing a polyester baby doll?

You can't have both and therefore...?

My dp calls those baby dolls extra pintas after his obsession with 60s 70s politically incorrect tv shows with milkmen and dollybirds. He has been known to say to me Put your extra pinta on

ah, so you do have one
Plus your hair is the same colour as hers

Yes but agent provocateurs finest although looks a bit on teh buses at times

To get back to the topic though. If you get too skinny you can look dot cottonish and if you are heavy you look lovely and plump and healthy but weight goes on body in random places not evenly distributed iygwim

DH says he doesn't care providing I never lose my double Ds. He says my face is still pretty not certain he raises his gaze that far .

@ noddy
Pass the cake!

Not sure... I run and when I run too much, my Mum and MIL tell me I look gaunt even though my body looks toned and healthy.

Bibbity - are you in need of a trip to the Opticians? I know a few 50 year olds and none of them look like Will Smiths wife

Give it a few years and he'll be complimenting your shoes while staring at your tits

No OP, I don't really agree with that.

I think how a person looks/ages has much more to do with how they look after themselves and their skin, hair and nails.

I would rather be slim and look my age, than be fat and look a couple of years younger.

As it is, I'm slim but I have no idea how old I look because I'm not bloody stupid enough to actually ask anyone

I'm afraid this is true for me.

I am naturally slim, but a bit underweight at the moment and my face looks very angular, whereas throughout my pregnancies with a slightly rounder face i looked ten years younger.

However, given the choice, I would rather have an angular face and be able to fit into lovely clothes, than have a younger looking face but have to squeeze into things.

ROFL at this thread
any links to facial exercises?

The only facial exercise i know is this;

Open mouth, shove in cake, munch enthusiastically. Repeat.
