Nah, with age I become wiser and my look is more or less stable for the last 20 years. Just more white hair but that doesn't look bad.
You're maturing wrong :)
good bot
good engine
I feel like this is less true for women.
Partly! Some women explode out the gate with a little age on them. My ex-gf was pretty in her 30s, but in her late 40s would turn heads when she walked in the room. And then there are the plain Janes in high school that turn out OMFG years later.
All the high school girls I've seen have gotten fat, more ugly, still thirsty and dressing slutty, partying but have fallen off the wagon of beauty or so it seems. Some still got it so to say but it's definitely not the same. Health is wealth people. The younger you start or just avoid bad shit the better off life isn't linear. Alcohol is poison. Smoking is poison. Edibles are safer but again nothing is good.
Yes, men definitely grow old better when it comes to looks. Women live longer than men though.
It’s not the absence of youth that makes women less beautiful. It’s the absence of representation.
Men at 45: “distinguished.” Women at 45: “expired.” It’s not biology—it’s storytelling. We don’t see ugly old men as ugly—we see them as powerful, confidant, sexy. We don’t see aging women at all.
That’s not nature. That’s propaganda
Yes it's societal values, you're framing the narrative much too negative though. Old age for women isn't all bad, older women stereotypically radiate trust and comfort for example. Look at Betty White and Dolly Parton, their age is a strength to them.
My previous comment was just about beauty. Superficial, societal, subjective beauty. Women are much more beautiful than men in general, but that usually fades with time. The beauty of men never tops that of women, but it can still grow with age.
