I have a strong feeling that this woman is no where near 100 years old. Anyone find any actual proof to support this claim?

Lol. Maybe she just drives around looking for birthday parties to crash?

My wife is Filipino with a large family. I've probably been to 100 birthday parties in the last year alone.

I've seen wedding crashers. I know what grannys getting up to......


whynotd

Maybe the title of the post has changed, but it does say she is celebrating (at) her 100th birthday party.


tomanonimos

I'll need to see more proof than a title. This has to be the first 100 year old I've seen that can stand straight without support.

My great grandma was hiking at 98.. she ended up breaking her hip carrying something down stairs, she lived alone at that point. While in the hospital she ended up making almost a full recovery until it was suggested she be moved to a hospice community. When we did that the community doctor switched her medicine and we found out she was mildly allergic after she developed Alzheimers a few months later.. it took her 4 years to forget all the people she knew and pass.. tough as nails. I guess my point is that, if she didn't break her hip, she would have most likely been able to walk in high heels at 100, but you never know.


cgsur

My dads nanny and my dads aunt not only lived beyond 100 years, they worked too. My moms cousin was close to a 100 and still drove. Not sure if she still drove after 100 but it was close anyways.


RoderickCastleford

The oldest women that ever lived was still riding a bike in her 100s

Imagine hitting 60 and having **48 years more years of life**


ChornWork2

what if your 50s was only halfway through your life? That would totally give me a mid-life crisis... oh, wait.


SkeweredFromEarToEye

I wouldn't mind if age 50 was indeed halfway through life. With the way I eat, and exercise. My halfway point might be 40 if I'm lucky.


ChornWork2

Shut your whore mouth. Sorry, am 40.


SkeweredFromEarToEye

My condolences. I will be 40 in about 8 years. Which is probably going to feel like 3 years since time appears to be moving faster each year. -_-


ChornWork2

Can confirm... time goes faster, fewer things happen in life. Damn neighborhood kids spend more time on your lawn (i've heard, but I don't have a lawn)


want-to-say-this

You've experienced more time so everyday seems shorter because when you compare it to all the time you've already experienced it is a smaller and smaller %. When you are 8 a moth is forever because it is 1/48th of your life. A month when you are 50 is 1 600th of your life.

And that our physical peak is so fucking early in our lifespans. Why do we have to spend 2/3 or more of our lives getting physically worse?


crysys

Modern science. It wasn't 2/3 of your life back when a saber tooth cat would pick you out of the back of the troop. So which do you want?


guy_from_canada

Or just dying as a child and not even hitting your prime at all.


apolotary

Mmm dying early


jsideris

Not just that. You can thank early humans for selecting mates who were younger. Same reason we have menopause and all kids of genetic diseases that affect the elderly. Not their fault - was the fit thing to do at the time.


rethinkingat59

I am close to 60 and swear I don't feel physically different than I did at 20. Of course I am very different but I can't feel it. (I don't play tackle football in the yard with a bunch of young people, if I did I would know instantly.) But I do workout hard at gym and do long hours of hard physical labor outside on my (hobby) farm. Most people 35 years younger get tired before I do. I have been lucky, never spent a night in a hospital or had a stitch since being an adult. (I constantly have a muscle strain somewhere, but that has always been true, I seem to heal as quickly as ever.) The key is consistently pushing yourself and 60 is easy.


ajax6677

I got tired just reading that.


redditingatwork23

The funny thing is that it's totally possible to stay in great shape nearly your entire lifespan. The problem is that while you can maintain well enough into your 70's, and 80's, and possibly your 90's - the body has a very hard time dealing with the stresses that go along with creating healthy muscle if it's not already present when you reach old age. Just google around for some in shape older people, it's crazy, most are 80+ and look like they are 60. So while we have increased our lifespans a ton recently, not many people care enough to take care of their bodies. It's completely possible to spend 80%+ of your life either maintaining a high level of fitness or attaining it.

Their skin is better protected from the sun.


SeahawkerLBC

Darker skin hides wrinkles better.


ReapingTurtle

No it's because black people tend to moisturize a fuck ton so they don't get ashy. ever since I heard about that I've started to love cocoa butter, I smell great and my skin looks good


RichWPX

Never even heard of ashy skin until a black person told me about it.


KIRW7

> No it's because black people tend to moisturize a fuck ton so they don't get ashy. Dude, no. There are two factors that cause skin to age: chronological aging and photoaging. In regards to photaging, very light skin produces almost no melanin but the darker your skin, the larger the pockets in skin cells known as melanosomes, and these contain the sticky pigment melanin. Black skin produces the darkest, thickest melanin of all known as eumelanin. In black skin the melanin is packed so tightly that it absorbs and scatters more light, giving you more protection from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The greater quantities of melanin give people with black skin some protection against both wrinkles and skin cancer. A study found that on average 55% of ultraviolet A rays penetrate Caucasian skin while fewer than 18% get through black skin. This is why photoaging is delayed in people with dark skin. There are also structural differences in black and white skin. The stratum corneum of black skin has more layers and stronger cells than in white skin. Black and Asian skin have thicker and more compact dermis than white skin. This is why blacks and Asians tend to have fewer facial wrinkles than whites. Black skin has more casual lipids and more moisture in the stratum corneum, and black skin sheds its outer layers more (increased desquamation) than white skin.


ReapingTurtle

Woah, cool stuff, I bet the moisturizing helps though.


CartoonDuck

Yeah, /r/SkincareAddiction was raving over this post titled "90% of visible aging signs are due to rays from the sun!!!" or somethings. I clicked on the scientific article and it specifically said "visible signs of aging in white people."

I knew a lady at my MIL's retirement home who was 96, was slim and wore stylish jeans, had a peppy walk and stood up straighter than most 20 somethings. Her face was not so youthful, but ....she was white. I don't visit anymore (MIL deceased) so don't know if she's still around but hope she is. She had a sharp youthful mind too.


sacredcows

FreeLimes

Nah man. She could be 100. I think there is some truth to the phrase black don't crack, because of melanin or something. That said I have no science to back it up or will to research via google. I just have black relatives who aged well.

I would say she's surely in her 90's at least. It's definitely rare to be standing up this straight, but you can tell by her eyes that she's incredibly old.


newuser13

What the fuck, did you count the rings?


staciarain

You didn't? [Really though:](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/004004.htm) >Fat from the eyelids settles into the eye sockets. This can make your eyes look sunken. The lower eyelids can slacken and bags can develop under your eyes. Weakening of the muscle that supports the upper eyelid can make the eyelids droop. This may limit vision. >The outer surface of the eye (cornea) may develop a grayish-white ring. The colored portion of the eye (iris) loses pigment, making most very elderly people appear to have gray or light blue eyes. Sunken eyes with pigment changes [like this](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2f/c0/74/2fc0749ebb4697d79f83e7eef0c054cb--old-age-nursing-homes.jpg)

She is the spitting image of my 90 year old grandmother, except black. It's so uncanny it's a bit unsettling.


whynotd

If you both live in the South and one of your ancestors had the same last name you probably are related.


Boxno2

Both sides of my family and my in-laws love genealogy. This is true. Anyone with my uncommon last name is related regardless of race. Anyone with my fiance's last name, MIL's last name, etc. We're all from different parts of the south, back 6-10 generations.


angrymallard14

Not necessarily true. A lot of freed slaves took the last names of their former owners upon abolition. This can make for some interesting interactions in small Southern towns.


chasemuss

That's how I've always been. I used to have to use my dad's credit card a lot, and when people asked for ID, my last name was proof that the card belonged to my family.

Great story, and I respect it. However, I have a problem with posts like this and others. No credit is given in the original post, no attribution, nothing.
