They are.
This is what my family doctor said. She asked me twice if I am taking it (I am 51, and weight 119), and I did not even know what she is talking about. And then she explained to me and mentioned that almost everyone is taking it today. I was shocked.

I come from western Europe and I'm in my 40s. Most of the girls who were stunning in high school smoked and drank, and likely did not age well. The very few that had a healthy lifestyle and healthy parents to teach them how to care for themselves probably fared a lot better. I recall in particular a pretty friend's very handsome mother, with beautiful skin, and the most stunning white-grey hair down to her waist. I've lost touch since, but it wouldn't surprise me that my pretty friend aged just as well as her mother. She clearly knew how to take care of herself!
When I settled here in my 20s, I made friends with Americans who had mostly middle class childhoods and while they did not smoke and drank in moderation, they were not taught to avoid the sun. So even though some of them looked great in their 20s and 30s, now in middle age and beyond, none of them look good now.
I used to be a baby-faced cute-ish girl, never beautiful or stunning. I wasn't particularly popular as a younger woman. But since I've never smoked or drank, and apart from an insolation accident at 19, tried to put on sunscreen... it turns out I look far younger than anyone in my social circle right now. And looking youthful and fresh is now very attractive to men in my circle. I get a lot more compliments now than I used to, just because they're comparing me with women of my own age who look older.
Me again. I'm not discussing weight, because none of my close friends have weight problems and neither have I. We don't do Botox or fillers or lasers.

Please. People I've known since college or for the past ten years and have always been a “normal” weight aren’t suddenly going to start taking weight loss drugs.
That would be a very odd decision.
And they’re not celebrities. I doubt a doctor would even be willing to prescribe it for people who aren’t overweight/obese.

DP but unless they are wealthy it really doesn't make sense. If you've never been overweight and are not currently overweight, and have no ill health effects due to your weight, you will not get a prescription for GLP-1s. Which means paying out of pocket to take a drug with some pretty unpleasant side effects just to... what? Lose 5-10 lbs? No middle class person is going to do that unless they are very stupid, and I don't hang out with stupid people.
I will also note that most normal weight women I know are far more focused on muscle tone in middle age. If you are naturally a size 2,6, or 8, the thing bugging you about your appearance is unlikely to be your weight, and much more likely to be how your butt or thighs or belly or arms look. And if you aren't overweight, losing a few lbs is not going to drastically change that. Whereas exercise will.

This tracks. Being young and gorgeous actually can be pretty effortless.
After 40, not only does it take (a lot of) effort to look beautiful, but also a significant amount of money... once youth begins to wane, taste matters so much more.

I have a friend who was gorgeous in her 20s. She still is, though she is plumper after having kids.

Yes, but they have stayed slim and have always dressed well. It's the key to looking good. We have always exercised. And now staying out of the sun is so important.

I don't know many people who have. It's not as ubiquitous as you assume.
They’re not advertising.
Or we don’t hang out with people that are overweight.
Plenty of people who use them were never overweight
