Nobody grows younger. And as we all grow older our looks change as we are aging every second of every minute of every hour of every day.
And many people are afraid of how aging affects their looks, whether they will age gracefully or not.

Many people you find attractive when you were younger may no longer be attractive as they grow older, because some become either prettier or uglier.
Short girls and boys grow older looking shorter as they add more flesh and the fatter they are the shorter they look.
Tall girls and boys grow older looking upright or bent and those who become fat may have pot belly.

I have seen childhood sweethearts who now look so unattractive that you wonder what happened to them.
Some are even too shy that they hide from you.
One of them who was an attractive model 11 years ago is now so fat that she could pass for a 40 year old mummy even though she is only 31 years old.

Women age faster than men and many of the young women become ugly and that is why their husbands don't find them attractive again and go after younger women.

Imagine your slender sweetheart now looking like an elephant in jeans.
Or your once dashing romeo now a pot bellied sweaty bull.

That is why you see couples who are ashamed to be seen together in public or one of them walks ahead of the other on the street, because they no longer make a pretty picture.

In most cases, it is nobody's fault, because the laws of nature must come to pass in our life whether we like them or not. But the worst cases are those who simply don't keep fit and fail to watch their diet.
In fact, majority of women don't bother once they have hooked their men and they have trapped the guys in marriage, they don't bother to look attractive again as if they only used those make up and make over regime in their younger years to lure and hook men and after they have succeeded to get married to them, they hiss and smirk behind them.

If you see how many young pretty and sexy babes of 10 years ago have changed in looks, you would be disappointed.
Their husbands are always scared to see them naked, because they would be totally turned off.

Human Nature!

Me thinks beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Fading beauty only emphasizes one thing......
What's more important is not the physique .........
but the content therein.

No excuse to let go and look less charming but neither a reason to overdo things and look downright weird!!!

it is not age but action [color=#006600][/color]

abeg @op, you dont love because of looks. Love covereth all things. so aging does not matter.

Op, theres pleasure in being mad, which only mad people knows.
In other words, theres fun in growing old, when u get there, u'll understand.

The love suffers as age comes When a man sees a dimple on a girl, falls in love with the dimple but marries the whole girl, when u marry someone based on their personality, not physical attributes or money, even when their faces are all wrinkled, whenever u are with them, nothing can come close to the comfort and satisfaction u get. At that point, age will just be a tally that you use to count all your beautiful experiences togather

All d gals i've dated rite 4rm my early age are more advance than me in age! Dnt jst knw hw 2 correct it cos i find them more attractive than d sml ones!

Yeah not really age but action,weather,diet and a lot of things they stopped doing or picked up. Me I already have a picture of how I'll look at 30 and 50 in my head.

Scary shit.

men dont go out of shape?
dont get a woman pregnant if you are not going to support her to lose weight after giving birth.
if you mother was any pretty at all in her youth, compare her pics then and now before u start talking about other women.
u think women enjoy watching their husbands getting a pot belly from all the alcohol and food. im talking about a month into marriage he already has a nasty belly! u think they enjoy being intimate wit a man who looks more pregnant than she ever did? the nasty pricky beards they keep when they get old? those same women, sadly enough ended up looking like that before they made the worst mistake of bringing airheads like you into this world! before u go out pointing at any other woman, look at how imperfect women in your own family are

Bond008: abeg @op, you dont love because of looks. Love covereth all things. so aging does not matter.

But not by aging so fast after marriage! U can imagin after 10 years of marriage ur wife is aging so fast it could be scaring guy!

No one can cheat mother nature.

You may call it aging but i call it a blessing and a wishful thinking for most NairaLanders, because most us will never make it that far.....just think

mehn...you sabi vex oh

Those pics lol.You know what has gone into the above women's bodies over the years as a result of their careers.

Just asking,how old are you Orinkila? I quote you.

Many people you find attractive when you were younger may no longer be attractive as they grow older, because some become either prettier or uglier.
Short girls and boys grow older looking shorter as they add more flesh and the fatter they are the shorter they look.

Where do you fall? Do people find you attractive in old age and why?

My point is this.My desire is to age gracefully.One should not fear aging.Fear comes in when one has not accomplished what they set out to accomplish.
I want to see my kids and grandkids play around me as I age.I want to be of good health,fit and and mentally relaxed as I age.
I don't want to be dealing with the side effects of excessive alcohol,smoking,surgeries,bleaches,drugs etc.in old age so I avoid all that and leave the rest to God.This is because many things people expose their bodies to in their youths come to haunt them in later years.
Now I call that aging gracefully.(good health,mentally fit,kids,financially stable,accomplished goals etc).A very lovely position to be in.

Bond008: abeg @op, you dont love because of looks. Love covereth all things. so aging does not matter.

Speak for yourself.

i have heard a couple of men mocking women about how unattractive they get with age. next thing you see a pic of something that gave birth to him... i think to myself... u can she the ugliness in the next woman yet u call what you came from a beauty?

@op very true,nigerian women are lazy once they have a child the just go out of shape,men too,get pot belied etc,i have a car and didnt want to buy it because i preferred walking annd in my office i always use the stairs never lift and i am on the sixth floor,u see people taking the elevator to one stair above,i intend to age like stacey dash..no compromise oh

There is always a solution to everything.
see a man can take in a younger woman if he thinks that his wife has become too old.
The younger woman plays a sexual role, while the wife a motherly one.
The wife then runs to NL,opens a sugarmummy thread and pays the yahoo boys to offer her what she doesn't get from the hubby.
And it's tit for tat till hiv/sti's comes knocking.

dont run away from nature please.

Bond008: abeg @op, you dont love because of looks. Love covereth all things. so aging does not matter.

And what makes u thinks the luv itself does not deminishes with time?
Character is actually what keeps long lasting marraiges, so while character is like the foundation of a marraige/relationships, love is actually the building. - never ignore this fact, if u luv u!

I do not support not aging gracefully if you can afford it.Women and men alike sud do all reason things to age gracefully. I see pictures of the likes of Funmi Iyanda, Genevieve Nnaji,and some hollywood babes that can not afford to lose their looks work hard at it. Yes, Iya Blessings upstairs is doing a good job, my Oga where I served is timeless!So it is not limited to does in show biz alone.Brad pitt and Desmond Elliot can't be compared (hot and flabby) yet they are both out there.It is an individual thing!Simple things like exercise,healthy diet and general tidyness will go a long way.

bosom for tat?? lol!! meant t-i-t for tat!!

mondi_cheeks: u wish!

I know.
