Being thin ages you faster, actually.

If you're both within 5-10% of your ideal weight, the slightly heavier person will look younger because subcutaneous fat on your face defeats wrinkles. But once you push it out to another standard deviation, the heavier person will look older, especially if they're both MC/UMC (because very skinny UMC ladies are getting fillers, not doing meth).

I have never found that putting a few extra pounds on a thin person make them look any younger. It would be true if the fat just selectively went to wrinkles, under the eye, or to cheeks. What ends up happening is that there may be some minor plumping of the wrinkles, but that is more than made up for by adding a double chin, some jowls, and a gut pooch. This is true for me even when I put on only ~5-10 lbs.

A thin person gaining weight might gain it in a pooch but a person who is naturally on the chubbier (I don't even like to say chubby because that implies more weight than I'm talking about) side of normal will have more fat under their skin everywhere, and fewer wrinkles. But like I said, this is only for people on the thin/heavy side of normal, not very skinny or very heavy. The point is that fat and wrinkles have a relationship, but PP is overstating it to say being thin ages you faster because most people who are heavy are too heavy for this minor "benefit" to outweigh the downsides, even when you're only talking about looks.

More than thin/chubby what I see is that some of my friends have a no sub-cubtaneous fat type of body. We can be same weight, same overall size but you will never see a six pack on me, my arms won’t be very defined, whereas my friend is going to have visible muscles under her skin. She looks amazing, very toned. But on her face she is also getting deeper wrinkles than me. I think it is the same process.

And again we are similar weight, similar level of exercise, size 0. Two of my friends are like that. I look “younger” in the sense that people think I am few years younger than them. But they look more attractive than me. Even their more wrinkled face is more attractive than mine and I think we used to have same level of attractiveness: my face is sagging while theirs get deep wrinkles, so people gets clues that they are older but they still see the same attractive face, while my face is not given out the wrinkle clues but is transforming in a less attractive way as I lose the shape of my jaw/cheeks/eyelids etc...

(Ignore the fact that it is the policy of that store to card everyone for every purchase. Details!)

And I agree on the generic “you look young” compliment. I don’t use it because it implies when they are old looking they won’t be so attractive.

No Botox, never dyed my hair, nothing. Just runs in the family (my mom has always looked younger, as does one of my sisters).
I’m 43, south Asian.

Well, it told me I look 38 and I am 50. There's a lie somewhere.
