Discussion Is it that time already?

I just turned 40. I went to a new gym last night and did a class. After the class, the coach (who could have been anywhere like 25 to early 30s) was super nice and chatty and asked me about my fitness goals. I said "well, I just turned 40..." and was about to talk about how I want to ramp up my fitness to honor the milestone and I got interrupted with, "40?? You look great!!"

Now I'm wondering if he was early 20s. Was not expecting that response. Anyone else fell it's a bit premature?

I think most are genuine when they say that. It’s easy to know when someone is putting you on or selling you something. I’m 44 and I get the surprised thing a lot also. Generally people think I’m about 10 years younger. Tbf I lucked out with my family’s genes. I do know if/when that stops it’ll hurt a bit lol Now when I started getting called ma’am that was rough!
