[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does it even mean to look a particular age? What does 36 look like, or 44, or 58? Is there some standard look for a specific age that we can compare to?

And when people say someone looks great for their age, what do they mean? When I personally say it, I usually mean that someone looks younger than the age I know them to be. Do other people have a different meaning for that phrase?

Very interesting that no one seems to have a comment on this post. The reality is that no one can answer these questions.

I have no problem answering the question.

To me the phrase means you are very well put together at the age you are.  You dress nicely, your hair looks great, you take care of your skin.  You’re trying.  It doesn’t mean you don’t look your own age.[/quote]

But what does a particular age actually look like? That’s what I don’t understand. What is it about how someone looks that makes us think they look a particular age?

Well, mid-50s and over tend to have softening at jawline, beginning of crepey neck, possible beginning liver spots on hands or prominent veins. Thickening at waist regardless of weight. Footwear is a big tell- typical to see shoes with arch support that look comfortable. You might see thinning hair or hair that is styled in a way to try and hide this. If women don’t spend a ton of money on highlights and grey coverage every few weeks you will often see matte, dry hair from monochromatic home- dye jobs.[/quote]
