"That's when nature starts to get confused for many guys: it stops growing hair on their heads and starts growing it out their ears and noses."
Actually it isn't nature getting confused, it is people in the U.S. failing to admit their age and corporations exploiting people by making them feel self conscious about it..
and guilty.
In hopes of getting them to spend money on ....
delusions of "youth"?? that with every passing day we ALL get further from, like it or not.
Nature is what it has been for 100s of years.
And this is an interesting topic.
I'm 41 and proud of it. I wouldn't want to be 25 or 15 again. In fact in the U.S. we are all living longer.
70s, 80s, and beyond is not rare any more.
I want it to be healthy and content for me. One sure way of aging yourself is with bad thoughts, like wishing you were something else.
and unhealthy actions. like surgery or "procedures" that can end up actually doing more damage to your skin and body. bad diet, etc.
If you have seen some of my You-Tube videos, you know what I look like. I have some gray hair and I won't be coloring my hair, even when it goes gray.
I'm not nearly as hairy as I wish I were. And I wouldn't shave if I had it, or (eek) electrolysis (spelling whatever) Excuse me, I have to puke.
And vice-versa, I won't take hormones to build muscle and or grow hair. I am what I am.
so there are 2 issues:
1. Being healthy, body and mind
and
2. looking "young"???
Which do you want?
you can be either one independently and you can be both at a certain time in your life.
but it is important to understand how you define "youth"
I want health. Healthy mind, body, and soul.
It is amazing how some people are willing to sacrafice their health in order to have "youth" (plastic surgery)(I gotta do vlog on this). sad but true.
It is like they don't realize that youth does not imply that one is healthy.
Looking young simply means that a person hasn't matured.
Remember in the 50s when "everyone" thought it was cool to smoke or for Woman, LOL, to have a bee-hive hair-doo.
OH god, funny.
todays equivalent the phoney shaved, steroided, fake overly white teeth, orange skinned, collagen lipped, republican-militarized look is pathetic for the same reason.
I saw it coming on 8 years ago or so.
said NO. glad I did. I don't want to sound harsh. I'm better than that.
As for the hair. When I see a guy who is intact. and looks happy with his life. seems happy with his life.
THAT is attractive.
Give me Jeremy Piven in his Ellen days 1996 (cute bald spot, compact hairy body, back, shoulders, etc.) vs. today in Entourage(the hair plugs) sorry.
Tom Selleck, Ed Harris, (Yum) vs. Tom cruise (big NO).
oh boy, I've rambled.
Bottom line, the more people(baby boomers, hello) chase an unrealistic pathetic ideal,
(more like let themselves be lead by the nose)
and as each day we ALL get older,
the more frustracted they will get.
and thus, the more unhealthy.
thus hastening the aging.
and the need for investment in more drastic "age reducing" techniques...
and the older they will get....
and on and on.
And I am just going to stand back and watch, cuz, I aint playin'.
I wish you all well. Find Peace
