[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think around 40.

Being thin in your 20s-early 30s looks different than thin in your 40s+

As you age, the fat padding under your skin decreases.  This is noticeable in the face of thin women over 40, but also in their hands, wrists, décolletage.  Even if you are diligent in lifting weights to maintain muscle mass, you will still appear more bony in some places. [/quote]

What are you talking about? Women in their 40s look great these days. [/quote]

Not saying you can’t look great.  Just that as thin women age, areas that don’t have a lot of muscle appear more bony- which is aging.  [/quote]

Agree- I think it's about mid 40s when it begins to show objectively so probably around 40 when it begins. Even if you have perfect skin and a fantastic body, the parts that originally don't have a lot between the bones and skin (hands, neck, knees, also areas like eyes and cheek begins to thin and look sunk/gaunt). All of this is very gradual year by year so not immediately noticeable but I do think this process tends to happen later for people with extra pounds.[/quote]
