Title pretty much says it all. I find myself to be less and less pleased with the overall appearance of the person staring back at me in the mirror. A few more wrinkles, a few more grey hairs, and in particular for me, bags under the eyes. At 32 I looked great, and in just a few short years I feel like I've aged 10.
A lot of men don't seem to be bothered by it. We all get older, some of us start to look worse unless you're Brad Pitt/Paul Rudd and already had a pretty high starting point and struck some sort of Satanic pact to retain your youth for longer. Honestly, I wish it didn't bother me as much as it does. I know I'm past my peak and need to accept that it's a natural process, but god damn some days it's not easy to do. All the confidence I had in my late 20s/early 30s is pretty much gone at this point. I do still have my hair, at least for now, so there's that.
