No Pictures, Just describe yourself

My vital statistics and images have been on several SF thread posts, so won't add but one herein, as it has impacted the nature of who I am. I'm a small 135# man with mixed northern European ancestry. In California K8 schools, I was usually the smallest male in every class and also the youngest because I unfortunately started kindergarten a year early. My second grade teacher in suburban Sacramento, banned me and my 2 main neighborhood friends from playing marbles with others because so many others lost all theirs. By being on the bottom of the male size scale, I learned to be a peaceful, emotionally controlled, non-physically aggressive person.

As a single digit kid, I climbed a ridiculous number of oak trees, caught myriad fish, and played endless baseball. I was in a secret electronics career field in the USAF during the Viet Nam War. So have been around the block in society a few times and more. Had a career working at a peon level in numbers of corporations for very smart and skilled engineers. After becoming a senior, I was diagnosed with polycythemia vera, so would already be dead and gone were it not for modern medical science. I greatly enjoy Earth nature and would be content to experience the world forever, eternally. Well, as long as I could snow ski too. Oh yeah, am especially defenseless against, small thin women with pretty smiling faces.

5'7"-ish, due back problems used to be a bit taller. Short cut gray hair , beard that's more white than gray.

Brown eyes. 165-170 lbs.

Usually wearing a stocking cap and hooded sweatshirt until weather gets in the 80's, then wearing a ball cap.

Really dorky black plastic glasses that make me look even older than I am which is 68.
 
I'm short and slender. @IrishEyes we're pretty much the same size.
European ancestry. My hair is shoulder length champagne gray.
I'm in good health, no medications. I'm going on 69 but feel 60 realistically.
I'm a shy homebody that likes to eat well. I do like to get out some and travel to surrounding states mostly.
I think I have a sense of humor but that's a matter of taste I suppose. 😉
I'm not a beauty but I'm not a frog.

Throughout my adult years I was 5’4” but am now 4’11”. Weight 110 lbs. short shiny white hair. Sometimes it’s spiky. Wear reading glasses a lot as I read a lot. Usually smiling. Don’t know why. Often grimacing in pain. Left calf and foot heavily bandaged.
 
I’m 5’ 10”, 165 pounds. 88 years old, been told I look much younger by folks who definitely need glasses, love humor, comedy and positive people.
I have lost a lot of hair on top of my head. Sides and back are just a mixture of white and brown.
Hate crowds and do just fine in my quiet time. Have signs of early dementia and very thin skin prone to bruising.
Love my wife and my God and my Senior Forum.
 
I am 5'7, about 153 pounds. I am 69 years old. In good shape, I exercise daily (Pickleball, Softball, Riding bike). I have darkish skin, as I live in Florida & have a nice tan (or so I am told). White hair, trimmed beard, wear glasses or contacts. I take a few meds, I have type 2 diabetes, so I manage my diet daily. I have arthritis in left knee, so get a cortisone shot every 5-6 months. I am usually in a good mood, very relaxed & mellow. I am normally quiet & reserved, a giving person. I chill by watching Netflix, reading novels, or going to the community pool.
 
I think i am about 5'7". Have not measured. My hair is white and usually short. I probably weigh about 135...but do not own a scale. Avoid doctors. I am old enough to not care what others think of me...70 in september. Earned every scar and wrinkle. I love talking to people...as their lives are fascinating to me. Have always always always wished the same wish on stars or birthday cakes...peace on earth.
 
I'm 73, shoulder length whitish grey hair. I have hazel eyes and no longer wear makeup. Average build, was 5'4 1/2 inches, but I lost two inches somewhere. My weight stays in the low to mid 140s, lost around twenty pounds in the last few years with no effort of my own, just was more busy, stressed and ate a little healthier.

Love nature, animals and the outdoors. Was always laid back, am empathetic and a homebody. Never liked large groups of people, usually had just one or two good friends. Spend my days in jeans, cargo pants and pocket t-shirts, always casual, comfortable and relaxed..

Most important to me in my life now is my young dog and older cat. I started feeling my age around 65, so I do less work in the yard and house, go slower, am more careful, and take more breaks....no schedules. I feel that life is good, and would love if there was more peace on this earth, but I don't think it's going to happen. ☮️
 
Average height, average weight, on the slim side, average looking face.
Glasses, not just for reading, I wear them all the time.
No hearing aids, I can hear well, fortunately.
And I'm lucky enough to still have my own teeth.

I probably look like everyone's grandmother, or the stereotype (white hair).
. Most people tell me I look younger than my age.
 
I am 84...85 come June 2... short 5'1" and somewhat chubby with grey hair and fair skin. I've always been very active and a workaholic, slowed way down but still more active than most at 84. I live alone and love nature and being outside. I used to love to travel and explore new places but no longer, I am borderline diabetic and I have kidney problems, I work hard to control both by diet and have lost 20 pounds.
 
Born 1950 in the UK
Not 5ft 5in and-a-bit anymore (probably 5ft 3/4in ish)
Weight 8st 4lbs (117.6lbs)
Fresh complexion
Foot size 5-6
Green eyes, all my own teeth, no piercings except for ears but don't wear earrings now.
Mousey coloured hair just below chin length and layered, with a smidgeon of bleach highlights to add volume to my fine hair.
No grey hairs except one in my right eyebrow.
Scars on neck, eyebrow and R cheek.

Described as mad as a box of frogs, complicated, warm, friendly and fun, honest, down to earth and a pain in the ass.
Not an overly confident person and shyness still pops up sometimes. That being said, becoming older has given me more confidence, and I still have a voice in the community on various matters.
If it's a toss up between technology or people, people win. I love being useful for those who need help, a cheer up, a natter, a smile.
Not a sheeple so don't follow any 'Trend'.
Sense of humour wacky, and 'Woke' is not something I recognise, except it's the opposite of 'Asleep'.
I love old age. I wear my OAP (old age pensioner) badge with pride especially when meandering towards fit males to reach something off the shelf/read me the sell by dates. It's expected we're dotty in our old age, so I why not act it just for the hell of it?
No bucket list, but I'd love to meet Keanu who intrigues me. And, if I needed help I want Denzel as the Equalizer to be there for me.
Give me cold burnt toast, butter, Marmite, almond butter and PG Tips and if I'm out for a meal, stodgy pud with custard wins for dessert. :giggle:
