Most of us look our age

OP jealous much?

Asian women absolutely look younger than their age. Not all but most.

I look my age but I’m not so insecure and bitter that I refuse to recognize other women may , gasp, look younger than their age.

My only friends over a certain age who actually look younger than their age are non-caucasian. I would recognize it if it existed, but I am caucasian, and none of my caucasian friends look young for their age anymore. Some of them look super fit, stylish, and have great hair and skin, but the signs of aging are still there. It's in our hands, loss of bone density in faces, etc.

I’m not sure if it was having kids or just hitting mid 30s, but this is so true! Went from folks legit not letting me sit at the bar til I’d pull out my ID to being called ma'am in no time.

I really thought it was from kids and I do think that accelerated it but my friends without kids yet have felt the same way.

I am sorry to say but white women don’t age well. I think after ~35 or so, your bottom falls off.

I posted above that I'm a white woman who has no issue with looking my age (which I do), but this notion that white women don't age well is assinine. I look my age, but the bottom most certainly did not fall off and it doesn't for the vast majority of women. Take your racism somewhere else.

When I was in my 30s, the 20-somethings invited me to their happy hours and young professionals things. They were shocked to learn that I was married, and later, was pregnant/had a child. Now that I'm in my 40s with two children, NOBODY makes that mistake anymore, LOL!

And if you haven’t made a successful career in modeling what does it matter how old you look?

Black and Asian women just age differently, they don’t wrinkle as much. I am Asian and my complexion is not as rosy and uniform as in my 20s and 30s. But it is easier to find ways to improve your complexion than to hide wrinkles.

Definitely I look older than a 20 year old Asian woman. But I look younger than most same aged Caucasian women.

I would take it one step further: most women all look the same now. It's like there is a template for five women only, and most women --especially the ones who use a lot of social media-- come out of a factory as one of the five. Same hair, same clothes, same makeup, same hand gestures, same voice, same nails. Just more of the same. No individuality. Seriously, I can't tell a lot of women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s apart anymore. They're all the same person, nothing makes them stand out.

44 year married old man. I'm often mistaken for being 8-10 years younger. However. If I were back in the dating pool I would soon be found out.

My bottom didn't fall off!!! Get it straight - it turned to cottage cheese.

More than likely they are lying. I lie to other women to flatter them- it works every time. Sometimes I even ask them how they do it.

It matters for a successful career - period. Most successful women are above average in looks and height

My neighbor is white and looks 10 years younger than her age. It happens. If life is not stressful, you can look younger for a while. I was fine till my child got sick. I think I aged 5 years in 12 months.
