I look at them and think "where's their coat" and other such things that my parents used to say to us

Yes I'm grateful don't worry! I'd just prefer to hurt a bit less, but that's 20 years of sitting at an office desk and not doing my exercises properly

The thing is, almost everyone of them will have insecurities and complexes about their appearance. You’ll never see an unfiltered natural untouched photo. A sign of getting older is that you have non of those complexes.

You don’t need to take a selfie, add a filter, and post something every day. You then don’t sit there waiting for likes, or get into arguments if a friend hasn’t liked something.

Quite often see young women round London, on trains etc taking these selfies. Bizarre - sat in a pub in semi lockdown I looked through the window at the queue to get in and it was like looking at a strip cartoon.
I've replaced them with other, more age appropriate, complexes!
I get it, I do, the 'why' of it. I'm not unsympathetic and I'm not really reflecting on that when I say I'm flummoxed. I can even read and understand the history and rise of it, how that look's come about, seen as attractive. The point is that I realise it's a sign of my age that I don't see the pout as in the least flattering! It's there, the first thing I see, my first thought when I look at these photos. A smack in the face that tells me I'm out of context.
Which is if course another sign that you're getting old - you're starting to see the wisdom in the things your parents said.
Actually, I quite like that one. Can someone else say it so I can 'like' it please?

People are saying you are getting old when you see young woman out and think they need a coat
I used to live in Bangor (North Wales) and when we drove down the High Street late evening I often though they needed a good jumper or something
and I was only 35-45 at the time - hardly old!!!
(OK OK OK - they probably would think so but what to they know!!)

So many of the girls posing on social media look like they need to eat more pies.

Haven't read that yet - I'm assuming either pastry dresses or wearable sausage rolls
Some ruder ideas I have chosen not to post
