I'm both bald and gray, yeah, I understand.

My wife has been grey since her late teens, and I still look like I'm in my mid-to-late
And virile, and relatively unscarred, we know!

Bah! People think @Squidleybits is the hip young single mom living with her two kids and her father.
You're 40?!
I mean, according to him, we're probably all at least 60.
If I would shave off my beard, I'd look 20 years younger. But I hate shaving now. So I finally look my age.

Snow is so pretty.
It really probably doesn't deserve all the hate I feel for it.

It's the shirt... obviously.
I would honestly still wear it if I still had it lol
I think it's fairly normal for your self-image not to correspond quite with reality. Heck, your image of other people probably doesn't, either.
Plenty of people think they can still rock look X (please cover your 50 year old belly) or hairdo Y (please stop it with the combover) when their years have sadly caught up with them. They just don't realize it.
I know that my image of people I'm close to is skewed strongly in their favor. People I dislike look uglier than they probably really do. It's a psychological thing.
Anyway, while obviously some time has passed between those two pictures, if you say there's 15 years between 'm, hey, you're doing good - I wouldn't have said so.
My wife just got out of the surgery center today with some new hardware.
A few more and her full T-800 transformation will be complete!
(Joking aside, I wish her a speedy and painless-as-possible recovery.)
Long ago, I had a girlfriend have to have this same surgery after a car accident, and she wound up in such good shape. I'm hoping my wife recovers as nicely.
Work has been rough for her for years, and she's been going to a spine pain management place, and they've been telling her she didn't need an MRI or surgery yet. Hello? How can you know if you need surgery without an MRI? So she broke down and went on her own rather than get a referral from them, and the guy said "see this MRI? You have two disks that are essentially gone. That's why you're in pain all the time. You shoulda had this surgery at least a year ago."

This happened to my mom for literal years, until two discs literally deteriorated right at the start of lockdown and they wouldn't do surgery for two months.
