You've got only one life, and one youth. Like innocence, youthfulness is one of those things in life that you can't get back once you've lost it. That's why I see youthfulness as one of the most precious things in life due to its finiteness and brevity.

Youthfulness is precious not only because it's finite but also because it comes with numerous social and mental benefits. Since I look so much younger than my actual age, I can do whatever the f--k I want without getting told to "act your age". I can wear whatever the f--k I want without being called dressing too young. I can feel more carefree and free spirited than guys my age without being judged. I can make a social blunder and people will condone it more easily. You can hook up with girls in their prime when you're middle aged but look like you're mid 20s, which I've seen happen too many times.

I'm 27 and thank god a girl my age asked me if I'm over 19. I told her I'm 26 and she was shocked and it made my day. That means I'll look young as fuck when I'm older. When I turn 30 I want to look and feel like I'm still 20.

When I turn 40 I want to look and feel like I'm still 25.

When I turn 50 I want to look and feel like I'm still 30.

When I turn 60 I want to look and feel like I'm still 35.

I've seen this happen. Time and time again. It's definitely possible to extend your youthfulness well into your 50s whether you're a guy or a girl. I'd rather die than look in the mirror and see an aged man.

Anyway I'm a young guy with a young heart and I despise the thought of getting old so I'm thinking of starting to use advanced skin care products. I can afford high end products as I have a lot of extra money to burn so why not invest it in maintaining one of my most precious assets--youth?

The only problem is a lot of people seem to think it's a girly thing to use skin care products besides lotion and sunscreen and I'm afraid girls would think of me as less masculine for using them.

Thoughts?
