I am about to turn 60. It's striking how "badly" my blonde friends have aged compared to the brunettes. I really think this is just an optical illusion though. I think that what's happening is that blondes are given lots of "unjustified credit" for being blonde, meaning that you don't need pretty features to be considered great looking if you're blonde. You just need to have an average face. But as these blondes age, it becomes apparent that they really aren't that pretty. Plus, they're more likely to have the fine lines and spots than any other group and at earlier ages. Once these set in, they look bad in a way that can't be fixed, or at least way worse than their non-blonde counterparts. I recently met the blonde mom of my DC's friend who is my exact age. It was shocking how much older she looks than me. I'm certain that at 25, she would have been considered far more attractive to most men. Today, she looks worn out and haggard.

+2 The guys that are confident (arrogant) enough to hit on and bag a really good looking woman are usually self-important and/or delusional enough that this carries over into other areas of their lives. |
NP. Just STFU and stop supporting this misogynistic sh!t. You’re not cooler or more progressive for shitting on white women. You’re just a loser. I live in a diverse UMC city neighborhood and see plenty of busted East Asian and Black women, but I won’t go out of my way to gin up nasty stuff about that. |
Black and jap don’t crack. Just a fact of life. |
Wrong. Plenty of shattered faces with those backgrounds. |
Please explain this |
I agree with 1, 2, and 4. 3 is wrong. 5 and 6 are not accurate, men will always prefer an attractive woman but they settle for less - NP, attractive woman married for decades to the same guy. |
😩😩😩😩😩😩 |
How is it misogynistic? It applies to men too. It’s not nasty. It’s really weird this is a sore point for you. White people simply do not have any natural protection from the sun. We show age spots early and wrinkles. Big whoop. Maybe you need to unpack why you think aging skin is so disgusting. I’d rather look old than be dead. |
Omg. Women of all races have certain strengths and certain weaknesses. We are not allowed to talk about it for the most part with the exception of white women's weakness, rapidly aging skin, which is discussed ad nauseum on this forum. It's obnoxious. |

I'm 45 and divorcing. People keep telling me I'm glowing. Interesting, because I'm still wearing jeans and a tee-shirt and no make-up.
Part of it is primal. Your inner cavewoman is like, "Oh no, you might starve to death, put out attractive vibes and see if a caveman will come protect you." Part of it is depression . . . I didn't choose to lose 40 pounds, I just couldn't eat. Now I'm not depressed but 40 pounds lighter. Honestly part of it is just the stunning realization that I don't have to smile and nod at anyone if I don't want to. I have lifetime alimony and I don't need to please some fool just to be OK. In fact, some fool is paying me not to please him! So I am free. And naturally, that kind of attitude draws people to you. I'm in a divorce support group of 6 women and 1 man. I made the mistake of telling the group how the first thing I cried about when he left me was how much I like having sex, and how I guess I'll have to get a part-time boyfriend to solve that problem. The one man (at least 20 years older than me, not in my league at all) was falling over himself to tell me that I will have no problem on the dating market. Here is a woman who just wants sex, and no fuss, and she has money . . . line up gentlemen. I was like, um sir, obviously I know this already. It's pretty obvious. I never said I had a self-esteem problem. My problem will be picking a worthy man. |
Read some theory, you self-hating idiot. When you make the patriarchal valuation on their behalf, it’s misogynistic FFS. PP is also correct. If we ranted about traction alopecia, morbid obesity rates, melasma, cystic acne, dark circles, and other “afflictions” more common with other complexions, that wouldn’t be smiled at. |
I thought race was a social construct? I actually believe that. It’s just true that melanin helps you age better. Nobody cares though. I don’t think anyone is walking around thinking that’s some valuable piece of information. |
Lol. Luckily I don’t hate myself because I have wrinkles. If this judgment works across sexes, why is it patriarchal? I was probably an intersectional feminist before you were born but go ahead and argue with strangers in the internet to prove your $150k BA in gender studies was worth it. Whomp whomp. |
