lol @ people who age like chit why do you let yourself go

[mikebadg3]

isn't it ideal for men to look mature, but not age horribly?


ex: 23 look late 20's,

[solidus2k3]

in b4 miscers overestimate how young they look

[ilovelifenow]

I'm gonna be 29 in June, and most girls do not think I look a day older than 21.

You looked 22 until you smiled. Still, good hair and skin genetics means you will age pretty nicely

It's almost entirely genetic how fast you age

If genetics = too much sun exposure/tanning, lack of adequate sleep, poor hygiene, poor diet/nutrition, alcohol, cigarettes, 'substances' and stress. Then yes, I'd say genetics are the cause. There is a reason why a lot of people go down-hill hard in college.



But in general physical genetics can matter. But I think a lot of it is more the above. My mom looks about 15 years younger then her younger sister (she's older by 3 years). Older sister would rank as 'terrible' for all of the above. Where as my mom was good on all of them and never drank, smoked or used substances. Same basic genetics. Huge difference in life-style and appearance because of it.

most people don't "let themselves go", they just never prioritzed looking good throughout their life, and as the aging process kicks in, they look significantly worse.
as said though, genetics has a huge role to play, i've treated my body terribly throughout my life, and people still can't believe i'm almost 37.

Genetics play a role but the primary causes are the above ^. Someone like Jared Leto is a good example of amazing aging genetics. But if you look through his pics he's never tan, overweight, likely has little to no stress, gets adequate sleep, etc. So I'm pretty sure he has a bunch of other bad 'habits' ^. But genetics override that.

I’m not going to lie here. What you said makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. What you mentioned as a solution does not help and makes such people who “deal with their s h i t” look like delusional IG stars.

Back to the OP,

How you age is lifestyle and genetics. A lot of balding bros have had diets, substance abuse issues, sleep poorly, deal with degenerates daily (hence stressed) and don’t exercise. Skin type is also important. Some skin types age worse and are less resilient under harsh sun/ cold weather.

pattern baldness is genetic, none of what you listed makes a difference to it....hence why you see full heads of hair on homeless degenerates that do literally all of what you listed.

Never understood where people get this idea that legit balding is optional or somehow within a guy's control. It's genes fukking your chit up. Think of it like being afflicted with manlet syndrome.

Lmao rekt.

ITT we figure out who doesn't understand genetics.

[QuickNutkus]

People are opting for alcohol, drugs, and gluttony to distract themselves from a once beautiful society collapsing around them.

Part of me thinks it's guys subconsciously wanting to be able to take credit for their full head of hair like it's something they accomplished/sustain through effort. The fact that it's purely a product of their parents genes takes that away from them.

I noticed something similar when I was in my 30's. A lot of my friends looked awful. I found out years later almost all of them were functioning alcoholics. SRS.

Alcohol is bad chit, weight gain, poor sleep habits, leads to a poor diet, all which leads to depression.

All from a happy, social drug. I'm taking a long break from it and deciding what kind of relationship I want to have (if any) with it in the future. Might join the green side.

Turning 50 in 3 days. The truth...I look like an older woman who takes care of herself.

My wife is turning 40 this spring, she's always been a very good looking lady. She always asks me if she looks younger, like 26 (lol). I say no, everyone looks their age, some just look better for their age than others.

[harmsxwhey]

Since moving to a new base, everyone is shocked when I tell them my actual age. They always say I look about 21-22.

I've mentioned this in other places, balding isn't a disease, it's likely a genetic marker of maturity and maybe leadership that calms people.

There's been lots of psych studies on perceptions of others based on appearance. These are called "Attribution Errors" as the conclusions are based on appearance, not experience with the person. Anyway, bald men are always seen as trustworthy, mature, calm, and other positive traits of a leader.

Chimps get it too, so it's probably a "sign" to other humans more than an illness
