I am. I would dread being old and ugly especially if i never got married because once your old its too late to date anyone young again.
 
Well I guess if I haven't done the things I plan to do, then yeah.
 
And when im old il probably have alzheimers. :sad: It runs in my family. But my family has amazing longevity also.

Im not looking forward to almost certain development of diabetes.
 
Yeah my grandma has diabetes right now. She cant take care of herself and is in a nursing home.

My mom visits her almost every day now.

Ill-health and death are more of a worry than what I look like to idiots and losers.

There is more to life than dating...I guess when you hit over 20 years you might see that.

It's on my dad's side of the family, along with heart problems. On my mum's side is cancer.

I dont think cancer is genetic since i know how it works but i could be wrong.
 
Like wine and cheese I will age to an even greater taste.
 
Both genetic and environmental.

Well the process of GETTING cancer is random mutation with mitosis in your bodies cells which can be a result of enviromental change but i guess genetics plays a roll in the predisposition of cancer.

Not if you want to marry a woman and raise a family :D.
 
I am somewhat afraid of getting old. Not so afraid of dieing, but I would certainly hate to be a poor old man. :)
Meh, look on the bright side. As you get older, you gain more wisdom :).
 
That's true.

But I hope I will be healthy enough to not have problems with my heart, breathing or with moving (problems with feet or muscles). :)
