"My husband is 76 but doesn't look a day over 60. He has a full head of hair with little graying, no facial wrinkles, and he's fairly fit. I'm 71 and look every day my age, probably older. I have graying hair lots of it but I like the color and will never dye it. I am fit, but the deep facial wrinkles and turkey neck emphasize my age."
"It is my observation that people who compulsively stare into mirrors do it not out of ego but because of insecurity. When your husband does this, does he actually tell you how lucky you are to have such a handsome husband, or is that something you think he is thinking? He is the way his genetics have made him, and the same is true of you."
A 76-year-old husband appears decades younger than his 71-year-old wife, and strangers' remarks leave the wife feeling like his mother. She embraces abundant gray hair and remains fit, but deep facial wrinkles and a turkey neck emphasize her age. The husband reacts to compliments by staring at himself and reminding her she is lucky, which fuels her resentment and highlights his growing ego. Mirror-staring often stems from insecurity rather than pure vanity, and dermatologic options may help improve her self-image. Another situation describes a man in his 60s who inherited his mother's house while his younger brother has lived there for 35 years and continues to promise to move.
