I am 43. Usually I don't feel old. Then, I go to work where there are 128 people in my dept. the average age is 33.4 (the median is 29.8) and its 60% women. There are FIFTEEN people that I work with that hadn't had their first birthday when I started my career at this company. And this wasn't my first job.
So, this year I started dying my hair. I use women's hair dye (the cheapest I can find) rather than men's. I tried that men's stuff once and it lasted about a week. The one thing I did like about it is the gloves are bigger in the men's dye. I have to really be carefull not to rip those little gloves that come in women's hair dye boxes. Other than that, its just a pain in the ass to leave that crap on your hair and moustache for 25 minutes and keep it off your skin.
There was a time in my life when I would try to keep stuff like dying my hair a secret. It is more fun to just make fun of it.

Your body may be 43, but your eyes scream 17 - like when you saw Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool for the first time.
I am proud to say that @ 45, I don't dye my hair.
Don't worry. Although you are 40, you haven't acted like you are over 20 for years.
We called it "hockey hair" when I was in high school.
I thought I noticed something youthful and vigorous about you the other day that I couldn't quite pin down.
In your youthful days you could have been mistaken for Paul Reiser.
