I am 44 and I think I look 44 and I don't care if you think that's good or not. It is not my job to make other people fall all over each other due to my beauty or whatever. I'm wiser than I used to be and I don't waste my time on as much dumb crap as I used to.

I'd post pictures unfiltered here if I could stay anon for proof but I do pass for 20s and I am dating a few very hot guys old with no sex in their 30s. Frequently hit on by guys in their 20s too but no. So why the hate for women in their 40s by both men and women?

I'm Asian. In late August, I dropped off my 9th grader for a tour of her new high school, and as I was leaving, one of the tour guides asked me to step inside to join the tour as it was leaving. The tour was student-only. I had to explain I was the parent. It was embarrassing. Maybe that guide needed glasses, but it's not the first time this has happened. I got yelled at for being late to my other teen's choir practice years ago, until the manager recognized me as a parent and not a student. Again, embarrassing.
But I know that in a year or two, all that will be finished and I'll be visibly middle-aged.
So enjoy it, OP, it won't last.
I am aware everyone ages but I am very health conscious and I take care of my body and skin. I think how you take care of yourself and genetics contribute to how you look on the outside. But wow it's crazy how much older some women in their 20s and 30s look. So many get procedures at younger ages because of fads.
It's genetics and sun exposure, OP. Young women aren't looking older because they're having procedures done. I looked like a baby for the first half of my life, and now I look "better", more grown-up, because I've lost some of my chubby cheeks. I'm naturally slim, there's nothing for me to take credit for there. I take care of my nutrition and exercise because I have a heavy family history of cancer, dementia and cardiovascular issues, not because I need it to look young. The youthful look is genes and sunscreen. But mostly genes.
I think your breathless and smug attitude is a little off-putting, to be honest.

+1. I'm 45. I don't look in my 20s nor would I want to. I find it highly unlikely that someone mid-40s would actually be mistaken for a 20 something. Maybe early 30s? But perhaps people forget what a 20 something actually looks like when you get to 40. After all, it was 20 years ago. Skin always gives it away, no matter how thin you are.
Women, don't strive for 20. It's completely normal to age gracefully.
