I hear you. A few wrinkles around my eyes and daily cardio, and I haven’t gotten so much young mom attention since I was taking my kids to the playground. 10 more years, and I may do the same with potential grandkids. That will be a deadly combo.
Personally, I expect the twentysomething attention to fall off a cliff as we hit or get very close to 60. I expect the age group that’ll give us the time of day then to be fortysomething year olds.
It is, in turn 40 this year and in the past year they’ve only just started to fill in. My dad had almost completely black hair into his early 60s. Both he and I have had super stressful lives. My mom had very obvious grays by the time I was born when she was 27. He’s half Native American and she’s 100% Dutch so wildly different genetics
Yeah, I knew a guy back in high school who at 18 started going bald, and not a nice bald, poor bugger. There was another man I met who was in his 50s and had white hair since he was 11 or so, thick full pure white hair. Myself, @50ish, maybe 10 whiteish hairs on my head, and about half my beard.
My 1970’s born self appreciates all you horned up youngsters. Things have been…interesting since my early forties when a touch of grey came in.

Can’t imagine such a low stress life that greys didn’t come in till 40s, I’m over here with greys in my late 20s…
I’ve had them since my early 20s.
The years have been cruel
I hope it’s a few select hairs and not patches :') that’s how it was for me starting at around 22.
It was patches. Its zones now that 20 more years have gone by
I think it’s genetic sometimes - I didn’t have a single grey hair until I was 35, which is when a bunch of health stuff kicked off.
Still don’t have much grey at 48, and my grandfather was only about 50/50 when he died at 85.
I have not had a stress-free life.
True that genetics do take a part of it, but sadly both of my parents didn’t develop greys until their mid-50s…

How is it to look at kids growing up to 30 year old adults?
Haha, just have your kids later in life then you don’t have to see them grow old.
I’m from the 60’s and my eldest just turned twenty.
It’s an epidemic 'round here as well.
Indeed. I seem to be a magnet for baby gays
