My Favorite Beauty Secret
You've seen the ads. A cosmetics maker takes a teenager, doctors her photo so that her parents couldn't pick her out of a lineup and adds some stupid caption about how at 45 she's glad she looks 10 years younger.
Give me a break. Do as I do.
Lie about your age. Blatantly.
For the past 20 years, when asked, I've added 5 years to my age. Why?
Well to look at me, knowing my "real" age one would get the impression I was near deaths door. A foot in the grave so to speak.
But add 5 years to that, and folks begin to say, for god sake he doesn't look too bad.
Try it, it works every time.

you are a hoot!
haha that is ingenious! I should from now on try that 5 years...
Too funny. Half the time I can't remember my age, is that age?
No lying, I really used to do that. I don't think I ever went as high as 5 yrs, but a couple doesn't hurt. XXOO
This is the best tip I have ever received. Done.
My wife used to do that but now the number is getting too large so she stopped.
Sadly, I can't remember how old I am most of the time. Even worse, it takes too long to do the math so I just guess.
I agree!
i am of an age with a zero at the end. people are continually amazed that i am as old as i am, so i will just smile and not tell!
