What did she mean?? mean lady..?

Question

A 40 year old women said to me today that i looked "different." She said i didn't look "fresh." what did she mean? I'm 18.

Answer 1

It meant that this morning she looked in the mirror and saw her crow's feet deepening in her face, her jowls sagging, and her nipples facing the floor, and walked out the house in a pissy mood. Conclusion: She was jealous!

Answer 2

she's being ageist. Someone your age, according to her, should be showered, shaved and shiny, etc, look like a daisy. Presumably you have a goth hairdo or a nose piercing or are wearing a military great coat or in some other way you don't conform to her image of what 18 should be.

I know all about that. I am in my 60s and not ready to grow old yet, refuse to join an old folks'club, exercise regularly and wear jeans without frightening spectators, but a lot of people think I am not acting my age and are critical.

Just do, and wear, what is right for you.
