They don't age well.

Soo.. My parents saw the n today (they were supervising a visit he was having with our baby) and in the four months since we have separated he apparently looks like he has aged 5 years, gotten balder (hes 27-HAHA) and is very haggard and tired looking.

Why don't they age well?

Everyones made some

Everyones made some interesting points. I guess it depends one whether they are low or high functioning as to how well they age. I don't agree that stress doesn't touch them. They are constantly on a quest for supply, upholding their self image etc, keeping their mask on. It would be exhausting! They often abuse alcohol and drugs and have various addictions. I believe Sam vankin has mentioned that they don't age well. But I think it definately depends on what 'type' of narcissist they are.

Stress

In general, narcs age very well because they don't stress. Yes, we talk about the N rage but their emotions are shallow. Years of stress can cause healthy folks to age prematurely and break down the immune system, thereby leaving us vulnerable to disease and mental health issues. A N is not capable of empathy and compassion and they have little or no insight so their bodies are not strained by stress in the same way. They simply don't care and don't let too much get to them for any length of time. The high functioning N's have money which affords them access to good food, travel, women, sex, and anything else that goes with the "good life". They go through life causing major damage to the lives of their victims but, they simply move on once they've drained the victim, just like the energizer battery. They don't stress...they simply don't care.

Would that mean I'm the N???

If you looked at pics of the ex-Psych prof and I, you'd think *I* was the N because at 33, I've aged well. He was the one who aged prematurely. He had the middle-aged belly paunch at 36 one would expect on someone in their 40s or 50s. His crows' feet were DEEP by the time I left. He was fat, his teeth were decaying (before I met him), he looked like someone who had gone through major stress. He had junk food&alcohol habits... those could've been contributing factors. He looks OLD for his age. He's 3 years younger than Colin Firth, and Firth looks healthy&fit.

I agree

The N's I have dated have all aged well. Selfish and unfeeling, they do not break down when the bad stuff happens, they just batten down the hatches, wait for the stress to fly by and keep on partying. Most have avoided all adult responsibiliteis which also means not having to deal with normal stressors. One had no gray hairs even over 50 and the bald one never gets sick, has a great body and a grin like a 15 year old.

Stress

Don't or can't, I've never met a grown human who can stop drop and demand attention, like an insolent child. Health issues are a competition for the narc, it defers from, "them". My needs.... Blah blah blah...

I saw my first xnh for the

I saw my first xnh for the last time about 6 months after I left him. He always had severe "extremes in weight" issues. He would vacillate wildly between weighing about 150 pounds all the way up to 350 pounds. He'd eat like a pig, get fat, and then start slamming the diet pills and exercising endlessly to get the weight all back off. He did this multiple times in the 5 years we were married. My first xnh was frequently a real "bitch on wheels" to be around partially because of this yo-yo dieting. He weighed about 350 pounds when I left. When I saw him 6 months later, he was back down to what appeared to be around the 150 range, and had obviously been spending lots of time in a tanning parlor. His hair was all gray and dead looking. His skin was just hanging off him from the rapid weight loss, and his skin had this sick looking golden brown color from the tanning booths. Of course, being the narc that he was, he to ask me, "So how do I look? Good, huh?". I presume that he was trying to make see what I was missing out on by divorcing him. I did alright. lol. I told him that he looked like a floppy-skinned, dead guy that had a sun tan. I don't think he was very amused. :) My second xnh still works at the same company as myself, so for quite some time I couldn't get away from him long enough to really see a huge difference. I can see it now that I've moved my office upstairs because of his harassment, and I don't have to look at him every day at work any longer. :) We've been divorced for a little over a year now. He's lost weight, his face looks strained and unhappy, and he seems to be aging quickly. Of course, living with that hideous P daughter of his and dealing with the huge butt loads of depth that he's incurred since he dumped me would do that, and as we all know, narcs are NEVER happy with anything anyhow. Truthfully, I have trouble actually having any sympathy for him. Whatever pain and hardship he gets, he completely deserves. Call it "poetic justice", IMO. He made my life Hell for 16 years, and now *I* am actually doing much better without him (both emotionally and health-wise). To quote Ralphie in that old movie, 'Christmas Story' when he shot the bad guys in the butt with his BB gun, "You'll get YOURS, Black Bart!" rofl.

Both of mine look

Both of mine look great...........because they are so into only themselves. I have an idea, only after viewing Hunter video post, why there is a difference in narcs. Some are over achievers and some are bums. Mine are both handsome, successful, over achievers that make a lot of time for themselves and their appearances. Makes it harder to get over actually! Lol. (when they look like movie stars)

I have the same issue....

Mr. N is as handsome as when I first met him. The only thing that has changed is his hair color and cut. He is also successful and very intelligent. I agree that it is so much harder to get over the N when he could be confused for a model or movie star.

Looking great

Mine is as attractive at over 50 as he'd been when I met him. It's one of the few things I miss, simply having the pleasure of looking at him. Only thing he finds increasingly difficult is keeping his weight down and it seemed to annoy him that I have no such problems. My N grandmother looked amazing at 80 and had her last lover who gave her expensive presents at the age of 76! Could it be they get no lines on their faces, because nothing ever affects them deeply?

mine in his late 60's have not seen for 2 1/2 years, but would love to see what he looks like, he was getting real wrinkly in the face when he up and left me and moved to another state plus big time ED problems that he never had before, he is all washed up, very depressed personality always angry, complaining, a real downer, hates everyone and everything.............never happy or smiling, his mind must be so sick and diseased, ugh

Did you ever feel like we must have had the same narc?

Your description of your narc sounds so much like mine! Your narc sounds almost identical. If I didn't know better, I'd think we had the same guy. The last time I saw mine was on Valentine's Day - shortly after that, he went cold on me - probably had OW lined up by then. My narc has severe ED too. Wonder how OW likes that? And he's getting so old and wrinkly looking... I don't see how he could hardly attract any more women at 66. This last OW must have been even more desperate. But I figure at this point, he's likely started abusing her, so no matter. Funny thing is, she's kind of an attractive woman in a matronly sort of way, you'd think she could do a lot better for herself than my narc bum. Now, I wouldn't want to touch him with a 6 foot pole! Ewww!!! She can have him! So, now he's living in another state, quiet as a mouse as far as I know. I have no idea what's going on there. Probably just well. I'm not shedding any tears over it. hahaha.

Baby got Fat

My former Narc coworker was massively obese when I first met him... he was about 250 pounds, the rare times I see him, he's pushing 400. So, the poor bike he rides on. My former Narc boss has gotten balder&skinnier. He used to joke about his bald spot... in the past few years he's lost his hair. My Narc grandmother has a bending of the spine;she's permanently hunched over. Sadly, she has Alzheimer's&is apparently trying to get a driver's license here in California. She claims that whenever men talk to her, they're hitting on her. She's paranoid about it (what's weird is that the ex-Psych prof said that during the final D&D) The ex-Psych prof is mangling the English language more, living with his parents (he used to pride himself on being a chick&dude magnet), he's gotten fatter... and at my college's website, he's giving a vacant, cross-eyed smile. Someone here said that he looks like a "fat grandpa" and he's not even 50. His teeth were badly decayed when I left. Well, the ex-P claimed *I* was making him old. *I* was the one who expressed concerns about his well-being. He went from being tan, slender, a modeling agent's wet dream... to being paunchy. I'd say "I can tell something is bothering you." Then there were classmates talking about him coming to class intoxicated...

Being *DESIRABLE*

My Narc grandmother is in her 80s... yet she'll tell my mother hysterically over the phone how men are making unwanted sexual advances on her when she's at the train station. I've been hit on, I've been ogled... but I'm not attributing it to ALL mankind. The ex-Psych prof claimed I was hitting on him-making unwanted sexual advances- when all I did was ask him personal questions&bring up his Daddy. Asking someone about their father's profession is NOT the same as asking if they want a one-night stand. By the time the final D&D occurred, NOBODY believed the ex-P because he had gotten quite fat&during the process, openly alcoholic. Even if *I* had made sexual advances, nobody would've believed him because he shot his credibility at point blank, execution-style. My former Narc coworker-the massively obese one- thought he was God's Morbidly Obese Gift to Women. He hit on me, hit on female nurses- despite being married. He bragged about how a female high school student flashed her breasts at him when she&a fellow high school student were drinking alcohol on the nursing home grounds. He'd moan&groan sappy romantic pop songs to me, serenading me with the song he sang to his wife when he married her. He'd brag about his sex life with his wife. Totally disgusting. I didn't give in to his Narcish charms--well, because he was gross. He was 40, yet he wore dentures due to meth abuse. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, thought that men were attacking her with impure sexual thoughts. She was a major cerebral Narc. Yes, Narcs are ALL ALIKE.

I found his brother

With a goatee. Baaah. In the beginning...he kept himself up. He dyed his goatee jet black. He said after we first had sex he had a confession..I was like "oh boy, here it comes" And he said he "lied about his age" He said he was in his 40's when actually, he was 52. He said on dating sites, women did not look at a man twice in that age bracket....to me, I coulda cared less actually. Then, he started to let the dye job go. To show how old he really was...and looked. And quit dying it together....I think he did it once when we were together after that. He really started to let himself go when I was with him. Then, I had the ED thing going on...and I really DID feel like I had the old man thing going on...too tired for sex, when we tried, we failed and had to do alternative things... Geez. It shouldn't be that hard out of the gate.

65

Mine is 65 now but, I haven't seen him for a yr. He's almost bald but I think the hard liquor he drinks daily is preserving him...it's acting like embalming fluid. The stress caused by being with a N has aged me but, I'm definately not bald.

66 and Uglier than Homemade Sin!

Oh God, my narc is not aging well at all! Here he is during the days he considered himself "Get him while he's HOT!" at the end of last August. http://cheaterville.com/?page=cheaters&id=3184. HHAHAHA. He's even uglier now. I saw a photo of him taken sometime in April this year, and, lord, don't you know that boy looked he'd aged ten years since his cheater photo was taken. He looked like he'd lost weight,much thinner and not in a good way...pretty gruesome...he looked like the devil incarnate covertly studying his prey (I'm assuming OW took the photo). I don't think they age well at all.
