Since the second half of the 20th century survival has been democratised in most countries.

Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are? Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. Various studies have even shown that your subjective age also can predict various important health outcomes , including your risk of death. Given these enticing results, many researchers are now trying to unpick the many biological, psychological, and social factors that shape the individual experience of ageing — and how this knowledge might help us live longer, healthier lives. This new understanding of the ageing process has been decades in the making. Some of the earliest studies charting the gap between felt and chronological age appeared in the s and s. That trickle of initial interest has now turned into a flood. A torrent of new studies during the last 10 years have explored the potential psychological and physiological consequences of this discrepancy.

Oscar Wilde and Simon Amstell are among those who have tried to explain the phenomenon of age gaps between consenting adult men. That it should be so, the world does not understand. So the world mocks at it. As Wilde alludes to in his speech, one major misunderstanding about queer culture that persists — still, to this day — is a misunderstanding about male-male attraction between men of different ages. Statistically, many more people that define as queer have been through trauma than straight people. This might take place in the playground or the workplace, or with family or friends and has drastic knock-on effects for queer relationship-building. In his autobiography, Amstell recalls his own struggles as a teenager. The challenge for men like Amstell is finding the right romantic and sexual partners without exploiting any power dynamics that might spawn from wide age gaps. It goes without saying that upstanding older men yearn for balanced and healthy relationships like the rest of us, so for that to happen with an age gap, they'd need to consider that the emotional maturity and motives of younger men match their own feelings and desires and that no one is ending up being exploited. Naysayers may argue that older men acting in this way are being superficially driven and inconsiderate of the feelings of younger men, who are arguably — perhaps stereotypically — more vulnerable and more malleable than older men.

Greta is a coffeeholic and cannot survive a day without 5 cups of coffee Her biggest open secret: she is a gamer with a giant gaming backlog. Smoking was the main thing, I think. When I first started working in the late 70s, it was still normal to smoke all day long at work. It's really hard to fathom now, but you could even smoke in hospitals and doctor's offices back then. I think we also think a lot of them look old because their styles look like something an older person would wear. That's because people tend to stick with the style they had at 23 in the s for example which we now associate with a person who's Others in these examples just didn't have good dental care or luck with their hairlines.

You'll find people today in their 50s, with no teeth, or balding who look way older too. That was a big part of it. When I was a kid, high schoolers dressed "older" to look more mature and sophisticated. These days, year-olds dress like they're It is hard to fathom. My grandmother smoked all the way through her pregnancies. I think they knew it wasn't good for you, but they just didn't care. I'm as anti-smoking as anyone, but tbf, back in those days doctors were advertising and recommending smoking, until the s.

The full extent of the health risks were not fully understood or disseminated to the general public or taking seriously until the late 60s, early 70s. No, they really didn't. But, what they fail to tell pregnant smokers today is that going cold turkey whilst pregnant is bad for your baby. Withdrawal is bad for the unborn baby and often that is forgotten.. Mama got pregnant with me in Her first baby, my older sister, weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces, despite Mama gaining only the prescribed 16 pounds! She asked the doctor how to have a smaller baby this time - they told her to take up smoking.

I'm ever so glad she didn't - I was born a month early at , and would have had far more health problems if she'd smoked. Exactly -- the short, curled hair and the drawn on eyebrows were very aging for women -- prom pictures all look like 40 year old housewives dancing with teenage boys.

How many people do you actually know, personally, that use Botox, though? I don't know anyone who does. She looks 19 to me. The hairstyle is old now but back then it was young and stylish, and her face is young.

To avoid the Vietnam draft, I suspect. That was the signature hair style back then for rock stars and hippie draft dodgers. Thank you.
