This how old do I look trend on TikTok is fueling the fires of the millennial and gen z fight. We're so used to seeing people with perfect influencer faces that have been beauty-filtered, cosmetically enhanced, and facetuned to oblivion we don't even know what a 20 or 30 year old looks like nowadays. In this era of social media obsession, everyone's trying to outdo each other looks wise while also looking down on people who look their age. Are we seeing the effects of the anti aging positivity movement? Millennials vs Gen Z: Who Looks Older #edvasian - Zábava
Your face is young, but the clothes are the clothes of a grandpa with 2 loving grandchildren on his lap, talking about the good ‘ol days…👴☝️
I personally love Edvasian's style, it's kawaii af, ageless!
Lol😂😂😂😂 yeah u r right
"back in my day.. 👴 "
tbh though I think the outfits are nice lol
@@melaniebell8115 lol i love them 2!!! grandpa fit supremacy
But all kids dress like grandpas these days! That’s my boomer observation anyway…😁 And they stare at me, grandma/pa possible age but don’t dress like it? Even as I literally own two things I still wear form my grandpa… You kids are so confussing!
Anti-aging used to be just for people who are actually old. When kids do it, no wonder they just end up looking like old people trying to look young.
the instragram girls have only 1 face. Whether they're 18 or 80, they all get everything shaped the same way.
Yeah that's true, although I do think it's fine to start doing small preventative things in your late teens. But by that I mean, exfoliating and focusing on hydration and sunscreen. I'm almost 28 and started retinol at around 24, which I think is a decent age considering collagen production starts to go down in your mid twenties. But, 10 year olds? Heck, even 16 year olds, worrying about aging? Their skin is already so good!! (Excluding acne, which is quite difficult to deal with)
Anti-aging skincare doesn't do all that much to someone's skin if it's already visibly aged. You are supposed to start *before* you get wrinkles etc. That being said, people are taking it wayyy too far these days and it needs to be talked about, especially when you see literal children worry about it. All someone who cares for this sort of thing needs is a healthy, reasonable skincare routine: wear sunscreen before leaving the house (especially during the summer months), cleanse (just lukewarm water and maybe a bit of soap depending on your skin), hydrate and exfoliate depending on your skin's needs. That's 4 products max and you can find decent ones pretty inexpensively these days. You can also make them at home using everyday ingredients and minimal effort.
@@chiefpurrfect8389Or just wash your face with water. Depends on your skin. My skin became so much better after I dropped all those gentle products and started just using water and showering as normal.
@@chiefpurrfect8389Oh I agree! I guess it all varies, right? I hadn't started to get wrinkles yet, but I figured it was a good age to begin preventative measures right before I hit my mid twenties. I suppose the point I was trying to make was: anti-aging prevention is good, but don't take it to the extreme where you're doing it so young you're more likely to do harm than good, especially because you can go overboard with actives. Children should be allowed to just have fun and not worry about that stuff! I think for kids, just getting them to wash their face and put on sunscreen should be enough, and that's honestly mostly for health reasons since you don't want sun damage to accumulate too bad.
Aging is a privilege. While I struggle with getting older, the fact that I am should be a reminder that I'm lucky no matter how I look.
There is no privilege in aging, it’s just a natural process. Stop trying to sound wise.
@@SamaelPrinceOfDankness maybe not dying young is a privilage? In the end, there's a lot of young people that didn't have a chance to enjoy their youth

Enough to comment
There's a saying "never pick a fight with an old warrior. They are old for a reason."
I’m 38 and my knees don’t hurt. 38 is not old and we’re not decrepit. We’re middle aged. Being middle aged is a privilege, it means I’ve survived this long and am still going.
Well you're lucky, most report aches starting around 30. My fiance is begining to crack.
I'm 38 and one of my kneews starting to hurt, but hell, been using sunscreen foe 20 years and my skin is looking good while I complain about my knees😂😂😂
My partner (35) has had 3 knee surgeries, but he is active and does stretching and mobility and is pain free most days. I know to some degree it's luck and genetics, but most people 30+ shouldn't be falling apart. I started dancing last year and gave my first performance in December. Maybe in another decade I'll start to feel old, but I still feel late 20s tops most days.
45 is middle age
Oh God don't say 38 is middle aged I can feel my self turning to dust someone get me my Aaron Carter poster, a sky dancer and some pogs I need to feel young again
The girl that was shocked they told her 45 doesn't look 45 but she does look a full decade older 😭 Like what was she expecting when she got procedures meant for people in their 30s ??
I honestly think that's it. When I see faces with tons of obvious fillers and other procedures, it reminds me of all the older women from decades ago who were trying to look younger by getting extensive work done. Now every time I see that "look", my brain automatically ads a decade or two to their ages. To each their own though, you do you people. Whatever makes your inner self happy.
It's definitely the fillers combined with the blonde and tan because she posted a video of her putting on makeup, and before she put on makeup, she looked a lot younger.
The only problem with this is y’all probably have no idea of what 45 looks like by now!!?
Honestly I barely can tell… some of my classmates from school (the only people whose age I can be roughly certain) - look anywhere between 30 and 60!! It’s wild..
Much younger people who appear much older, most of it has to do with their style or behavior. In some cases excess cosmetic enhancements. Overall, though if I saw a naked face out of the shower, I probably would be better than chance telling someone in their 20s from someone in their 40s. At least I would hope so.
The extreme obsession youth and youthful looks is what’s really different. When we were young, we just were young, not worried about not looking young soon or whatever. Geez even thinking about these things would be so foreign. I feel bad for youngsters these days I really do. I really hope you find your way out of this mess because beyond don’t smoke and be a healthy weight/nutrition and don’t get sunburned it is hugely genetic and not in your control and nor is it an achievement to look younger. You have so much more to contribute to the universe than a wrinkle free skin!!
Many of those procedures make pretty girls look older and worse
frrr these girls don't realize that getting all these cosmetic procedures literally ages them
personally i find people look younger if they often smile, maybe because being an adult drains you
Haha good point! I think it also comes from the inside. Joy, playfulness, curiosity, openness, laughter - these are youthful qualities at ANY age.
Also, why I would get Botox on my frown lines, but I’m never letting anyone touch my “crows feet “ - I’ve been lmao my whole life and made those lines & proud!
agree.
@@asvegas777 yeah my smile lines are my badge of honor and a sign of a life well lived 😊
Wait… what?! I would have guessed mid 40s-50s 😱😱😱
I'm 25, smile a ton, but I already have like permanent crows feet lol
Lol why are we acting like 36 is old and your knees just start randomly hurting 😂
Just work out geez
Edit: I seem to have upset some people. I was joking around and wasn't being serious. There are many reasons why someone might have knee pain. It's not always a lack of proper exercise. Sometimes it's because of improper exercise. Sometimes it's completely out of the person's control. Everyone should do guided, situation appropriate, and safe resistance / strength training. Solely running is not great. Weightlifting > running. For everyone, young and old. I rest my case.
My knees randomly started hurting at 28. I’m 38 now. Sometimes my knees hurt, sometimes they don’t. They hurt more working out.
I remember jokingly telling people my knees age in dog years and at 28 I went to a doctor to have my knees looked at and the doctor told I had the knees of a 40's year old 😬 I spent 5 years as runner seems it'd be healthy if I wasn't 250lbs +🤦♂️.
@@courtykat that's why people should do strength and resistance training. Running is not the only exercise and in fact I don't like it. Runners have horrible joint health.
@@kimberleysmith818 get a session with a kinesiologist and do resistance training. No running and weird knee movements.
I feel confident "the entire cast of cheers" example is flawed. the guy who played "norm" was in his 40s, not 34yo. The show ran until 1993 and the photo used was clearly from the end of the series which means he would have been around the age of 45yo, NOT 34yo.
Yeah there's no way that half-balding guy is 21 lmao
I used to watch that show all the time and some of the staple characters (Norm, Cliff, Sam) looks didn't change much during the show.
You have skin like a 20yr old, hair cut of a 5yr old and clothes of a granpa.
You are truly magical.
YOU EXPLAINED IT SO WELL THANK YOU 😭
so rea
lol I totally agree! I can’t tell how old he is 😅😂😂😂
I’m feeling so fucking called out as the resident grandpa of the group who is routinely mistaken for being a teenage girl until I got tattoos-which helps prove my age at a glance without getting out my literal ID. I know kids can get tattoos and it’s not a guarantee but I’ve found it helps with confusion. Less kids approach me asking to be friends with me on social media now which is awesome because it was weird having to parent other people’s children have to explain I’m in my 20s on my way home from university and I’m not going to befriend a child in their bloody high school uniform💀I understand kids want to make friends with people who dress trendy but if you’re a kid reading this please don’t try to get strangers social media’s if they’re not also a kid-and if you’re not sure you should ask, and be cautious! I understand I can pass as a highschooler but I’m much older-worries me if these kids come up to me asking to be friends I’m no threat but someone could be :(
That must be how someone said he looked like 50 year old 20 year old 😂😂
I thought the 29 year old girl looked even older with her hair down.
I agree
It's her hair and glasses, they're very 80s so of course she looks older. she does also just have some features that are older looking, she looks tired because she has kids, but she has smaller lips than some which can look aging as lips thin as you age. The grey hair doesn't really matter, her hair is just a little frizzy (I get it) so it looks older/more frazzled or run down and tired often reads as older. I look older when I'm tired, I don't think it ultimately matters that much but it is so funny that she's wearing these Rose West ass glasses and wonders why she looks older! It's purely just the glasses and hair and on a much smaller scale looking tired and having thin lips.
yeah how do you have so many gray hair at 29? I'm almost 33, zero gray hair
@@hayleyquinnx94She also needs makeup. I think her blue eyes make her look older.
@@jojo-xh5ik I got my first white hairs in my mid-40s. My cousin started getting them in her late 20s
Gonna be honest, it’s all about your energy. I constantly get told I can’t be 29 and that I’m mistaken for early twenties, and I honestly believe it boils down to energy- I smile, I’m bouncy, I’m friendly and have a pep in my step- all of that makes it seem like I’m younger than I really am. It’s all about your energy and how you portray yourself to others. Whenever I’m sick or have a weird day, people don’t ever ask how old I am because I’m acting my age. I don’t mean act like a baby or toddler, nothing like that, but simply making it seem like you have energy and aren’t beaten down by the world goes the extra step in making people think you’re younger than you are!
This makes sense! I have the same attitude, very outgoing, cheery etc. I have, especially of recently for some reason, been told several times that I look mid-20. I'm 31:)
Yeah I think one of the major reasons I get clocked for being a lot younger is because I'm energetic and still excited about finding new music or going to concerts or even just knowing in general wtf is going on today lol
Very true. I turned 40 this year and I still look and feel in my mid to late 20's. I started skincare when I was 12 because I used to have -- sometimes still do -- extremely oily skin, which made me break out from time to time. Oily skin keeps the skin younger and plumper for a longer time. While none of us can stop time, we can at least just live our best lives and not let a number determine when we hang everything up to "feel old."
Im 26 year old and i often get mistaken for my mom who's 50 year old. Lol. 😅
@@btb554 All you need to do is start some skincare and you'll be good once the results show. Drink more water to plump up the skin and make your eyes less sunken in. Dehydration does a lot more than just give you dry lips or skin. It can fill out your face in some areas and give you a glow.
“What were you eating the perm solution at the perm store?”
😂😂😂
Everyone smoked, everyone tanned, Those are the two things I think of.
And the white snow ❄️
Don't forget the skin care products for 30 or 40+ year olds and the absolute scam most of that industry is in the first place.
i wasnt allowed to tan and i couldnt wear make up and i think that is the only reason i was spared. like me and my geeky hs friends all look pretty young still. the perks of not being cool as kids (graduated in 2011 so it was the Era)
Pollution, alcohol, food and stresss 🎉
**everyone vaped
I remember when I was 15 and i don't know why people told me that i looked 30(?!) and now I'm 20 and people say i look 14-17. I don't understand people
Same, but no one ever pinned me as 30, more like 20-22 because, well, when you're a teenager you want to appear "cooler" and older, and especially if you're brought up as a woman you go a little bit too far with the heels, makeup, etc.
Now it's fun to see my classmates at uni (master's program) react when I tell them my age.
And sometimes you just kinda "age into your face", if you know what I mean. Like you always kinda looked old but suddenly you get stuck there and your face doesn't age for a while. Happens with height too, I was huge for a 13 year old but I never grew after that lol
Omg same!! As a tween I'd get mistaken for my younger brothers mom. Now I get asked what grade I'm in. I'm 26 lmao
Yeah people regularly assumed I was older when I was a teen probs partly cos I was a bit of an old soul and partly because for some reason people see you are a 6 foot tall and are like ah yes a young adult. Idk why, people usually get tall when they are teens. But now I'm the one friend that gets carded the most at bottle shops and such despite being older than most of them. I guess the height trick doesn't work as well on them 😂
Same! I used to go into college parties at 14 and no one batted an eye or asked my age. Now I'm 30 and get carded more than I did at 21.
A lot of these fillers/procedures make people look like they are old people trying to look young.
Obviously everyone is free to do what they want with their body, but that's just my observation.
Yeah always makes them look older
Filler will stretch their skin when they are young. One should wait till they are in their 50's
Exactly!!
That little screen behind you is getting all my attention
do you know what that screen is called? I'm trying to find it but can't :(
@@monikapul no idea, it seems like a futuristic Tamagochi

True😂
The girl with the fillers...damn, they done her wrong. How can one get cosmetic procedures and look worse off...I'd cry for my money
How could anyone being barely an adult expect to look better after fillers etc, though. 🤔 If she had had a disfigured face, a very crooked nose and had that fixed, alright, she could have expected ro look better afterwards.
But procedures that are supposed to make an old face look younger, applied to a young face- what was the expectation, I wonder? 🤷♀️
@@murphychurch8251 they aren't only meant to look younger, she wanted to look "hotter" so she overfilled her lips, probably adjusted her jawline and cheeks to look like Kylie Jenner, etc. It's not always the pursuit of more youth
She needs to dissolve them fr. Her face could probably go back to normal or close to normal considering she still has elasticity to it. That and moisturizer and not tanning as much would probably benefit her. She’s not stuck looking like that though. She can still fix it
But listen to her, though. She's fully convinced it looks good, and I think the whole cosmetic industry has to buy into the same hivemind belief. Otherwise, all the workers and customers would need to admit to themselves that they are making big mistakes on repeat. They gotta lie to themselves, otherwise that's have to change an entire lifestyle and set of values.
cosmetic procedures age a person and more often than not…. look terrible
My understanding as to why people are insulted or afraid to look old, is that media tends to portray aging as unattractive or ugly.
Not only that but looking older or watching yourself age reminds you that you will die one day and aging is putting you closer to that day. 😂 To keep myself from being sad about that part I just try to remember aging is a gift because not everyone gets to do it. Sometimes that works. 😅
@@user-xm3wd8tz6d I mean it’s a good method. And aging is a gift I suppose. You get to pass on knowledge, get wiser, grow as a person, meet more people, see more places and overall you get to experience what a lot of others don’t who die young due to illness or accident that maybe couldn’t be foreseen.
Well I'm old enough now,I just say for Fs sake I'm nearly 60,I don't really care.
@@anneloving8405I’m getting like that, I’m 36 and I’m always like .. f**k it I’m pushing closer to 40 everyday I just don’t care anymore 😂 I used to be so self conscious I would wear make up just to walk the dog. but I haven’t worn make up for a couple of years and I feel so much better for it. As long as my husband loves me I don’t care what anybody else thinks anymore. ❤
for a lot of people aging does make you ugly, this is fact
It also has to do with facial features. Generally, more rounded or soft features look younger (aka baby face) vs sharper or longer or blunter features look more mature. And most people have a combo of those features & so perception is based on which features are dominant in their face & also what he said about our own idea of what ages should look like.
I wholeheartedly agree. Let's end this stupid Gen Z vs. Milennial War. NOW!
Not while they raise gen alpha on ipads, nah
@mari_3kyu Your generation doesn't know how to socialize without a WiFi connection, but you're confident you'll raise Beta children differently? ✋🏽Your war makes no sense.
If you look younger than you are, people will ALWAYS tell you. If you don't get that when you disclose your age, don't ask the internet, you'll be disappointed.
Ageing is not bad in any way and we should stop fearing it, although your skin cells will definitely thank you in the future if you make a habit of wearing sunscreen.
Yeah, the only benefit of wearing sunscreen is to shield your skin cells from developing cancer and accumulating excessive melanin, nothing more than that really, and it’s definitely not going to help you to look 10 years younger like some of the comments here are saying😂
Over two and a half years I told my coworkers my age (30, ,31, 32) multiple times and every time they were shocked I was in my 30s. My 27 year old coworker thought I was younger than her and it was so flattering tbh
Agree, my mom is 70 but when she had to go the ER for a stomach bug, after the doctor put on the IV and rechecked her chart, he ordered an ECG. "I thought you're still in your 50s"
I've been told I look young for my age for half of my life. It's actually kinda annoying sometimes. Like I got carded at the movie theater for a long while. 😅 Or coworkers who will be condescending to me because, "you're young, what do you know" 🙄
Now that I'm almost 40, it happens less often but, only because people think I'm in my early 20's.
People do really, really love to point out how young you look, if you do! I get it so often i've made a game of it. It's forever amusing to see the looks of shock when i reveal i am at least a decade older than they thought. I blend in so well with the young'uns xD
But i love pointing out the signs of my aging, like my hands, my forehead, and the fact that i'm getting gray hairs. I love these signs tbh, and i celebrate them.
The 29 yr old girl I thought she was like 30-35 ish ngl, the style change didn't help she looks like the quirky aunt at the family gathering
😂😅
She looks like the librarian in a fantasy series that sometimes helps the kids look up info they need to solve a magical mystery
the gray hairs rlly did not help her
Not to lie though she doesn’t look her age. She definitely looks older but it wasn’t the grays for me it was how she carried herself.
Agreed, she looked a bit more lively with the hair and clothes helped. But she still looks the age people think she is.
3:51 The way you slowly nodded and played it off made my constipation go away 😭😭

💗💎💗
Why did people look older back in the day?
My theory: they all had kids young, drank heavy, and oh yeah they smoked.
They smoked, everyone they knew smoked, everywhere they went was filled with smoke.
The worked in offices full of smoke, they caught planes full of smoke, they went to highschool and sucked on a few packs a day.
Was sunscreen as commonly used back then?
I had my first child at 21 and at that age people thought I was in high school. When I was 28 people thought I was 23. I didn't think having children young always ages you. In some ways being around children keeps you young.
Yes and no, I think. Depending on where you live, you might've used tanning oil, to get that brown/red, instead of sunburn. But something to protect from UV rays completely? Not that common.
(Evidence: my Dad who was in his teens and 20s in the 70s and said so.) @@modkip25
@@modkip25nope people would use tanning oil to purposefully tan in the sun. as a teen my boomer grandmother would lay on the roof with her friend covered in cooking oil to tan. she always says she wishes she used spf sooner.
Also sunscreen wasn’t even a concept yet, and leaded gasoline was spewing lead into the air.
i thought that first lady asking if she looked 36 was in her forties 😭 now i feel bad, poor mom of boys
yes we drink our mothers blood and soul for vitality
idk why they allow it though
The change in style made her look even older ;-;
Yeah 😅 i thought she is around 40. Mhm maybe alot of stress.
Indeed...facewise I thought she was my age, I'm in my 40s. 😳
It probably doesn't help that young people today are wearing the styles that were trending before I was a teen.
Probably due to stress.
Love this! We need to stop asking people & talking about their age. This is from someone who is usu much older than people guess. People talk about my age a lot! Saying thank you is the easy way to deal with it but in general, I'm tired of talking about aging and associated expectations. These days, everyone is diff. We have lots of differences w/ nutrition, genetics, lifestyle, activity, $, environment, interventions, personal style, single/no kids vs family. I feel like talking about age puts people in boxes & can cause more obsessive behavior/thinking vs natural aging & whatever that looks like for the individual.
I’m 37 and I feel very lucky to be 37. I’m not ancient or falling apart, I have some smile lines and wrinkles but I’ve lived a good life so far. I smile and laugh and cry and scrunch my face and I won’t spend one more ounce of stress or 1 more minute worrying about what I’ll look like if I do. My husband is 7 years younger than me and no one looks at us funny or assumes we’re not the same age. A lot of my friends didn’t make it to 37. I have friends that were in accidents that won’t walk again. One that had a stroke that can’t move half of their face. Others who died from overdoses, a few from the war in Iraq, or accident or any number of things. I have 2 daughters and I refuse to let them see me worry so much about aging that I put myself in unnecessary harm to try and hide my age from the world.
Also yeah the kids will do it. I looked great for my age until my daughter who is now 4 turned 1. My parents have since passed away so I haven’t had any help with her. The last time my mother in law babysat was 13 months ago. I haven’t had one night of sleep without my kids waking me up at least a couple times and my youngest sleeps with me. It’s the lack of sleep that made me look a lot older. And the fact that I don’t get help outside of school hours and I got sick with a chronic heart inflammation issue about a year ago. All of that took its toll.
That blonde lady that is shocked that people think she looks 45 actually looks like she's a 60-year-old trying to look 50
Definitely because she seems to have a bunch of procedures meant for older people and it's not a good look on a younger person 😭
YESS! hahahaha trying to look younger, holding on to her youth for dear life!
45-50 she looks and it's very apparent that she had a shit load of work done! That shit should be discreet and never obvious!!
The young ppl adding fillers look old because they start having that alien face that we usually see on old ppl trying to look young. It's insane that they are doing that to their faces.
It happens because that stuff doesn't fade as fast as they're told. So they get used to the look. And it keeps ballooning because they get it redone when they're told but they should really wait longer.
but its all starting to become the norm, like the new way people look re the fillers./ i never used to think I looked old, but over the last year or two of seeing people with fillers etc ive really felt OLD, like I felt like I look really bad, and have considered getting lips done etc. I used to think I was ok looking, and went out andlooked like everyone else in terms of age/surgery, but NOPE now im like the ONLY person out who hasnt had something done so Im like an ugly duckling
@@hollyanne4856 first of, no, you're not. Lots of women and men everywhere that don't have surgeries. It's such a group think way of looking at it (not coming after you, just a general reflection), instead you could think; by being me and having a real face I can be the one to inspire and help other women who feel like they must have surgeries to fit in. We ARE the standard, by pushing to fit in we are making the space for people who doesn't smaller and smaller.

@@russianhomecat3313 SAME!!

i knew a girl who looked, like, 30-35 by the time she was a teenager… some people just have mature faces tbh. it’s not even “oh you look *ollllddd*” it’s more like “yeah you look mature”.
I had someone in my class who looked mid-30s when he was 18...now we are mid-40s, he still looks the same. I looked 15 when I was 18, continued to look a lot younger (5-10 years) throughout my 20s and until late 30s and then bam! Caught up with my age. Now I am mid-40s and look like it. You never know how things will be going for you, that's how life is! 😆
I looked way older when I was a teen. Now that I'm older, people often say I'm younger. The same happened with all women in my family (I'm a woman).
I was the reverse. In 52 but I am constantly mistaken for late 30s. Cool now not so much when I was 16, guy did not want to date a chick that literally looks like their 10 yo kid sister, even in my 20s……on the cups of not being cool. I looked too young g to be in the club or bar.
Same! A few years ago, I turned 30 and the girl I worked with I thought acted really immature but I assumed we were the same age because she looked it. No, she told me she was 16. And I swore she was at least 30. And then her mom came in. It was actually in her 30s and I thought she was in her 50s. Genetics matter a lot.
Someone asked my BFF if she was my mom when we were freshmen. She's younger than me
Actually 29, told 36, I was thinking 45 or so.
The other people also looked mid 30s 😭
I really thought she looked at least 40s… honestly…… I thought she looked 50 in the SECOND video 😭😭
@@KassieR329yeah I honestly thought she looked older in the second video. hoodies just read as juvenile 🤷🏻♀️ I say as a person who loves hoodies

Honestly the white overhead lighting really wasn't doing her any favours, it caused a lot of shadows that made her face look wrinkly-er.

Agreed!!
Yes and no. Growing old is not bad, but looking old when you're young? Not the same.
@jackdar1iipper Wisdom vs beauty. Which do you value more? Beauty is fleeting, wisdom grows as you age.
Ageing is a disease due to our lifestyle
@@stefyroxanne7567 that's what ugly people tell themselves!
I loved this video. It is funny, informative, and the host is amusingly delightful . I agree that the Silent Generation aka Traditionalist born between 1928-1945 looked way older than the Baby Boomers and every generation after, showing the benefits of better life choices in diet & health. As a kid i saw the change in our society reflected from learning about the harm in certain lifestyles. For example people smoked in hospitals and in airplanes and in my husband’s case, in his 😮nursery. Now we know the effects of smoking and second hand smoke. Most people in that generation smoked and looked very old. If we play our cards right, we’ll be seeing toddlers in business suits. lol
kimchi comment took me ouuuttttt lmaooo
Bartender here: So we used to be told to ID people that look younger than 30, but now its younger than 40 cause yep Gen Z looks older than 30! And The shock i get when i see a "2" on the ID of these people is insane! Now aipha will be interesting cause these rugrats Have skincare routines at 9 years old
It has to be so confusing and kind of frustrating as a bartender. Where I live the drinking age is 18, and I still get asked an ID, one night even at three different places. I'm 34.
But I remember when I was a teenager I wanted to look older too, and everyone else wanted the same, especially to go out and drink. Honestly I think eventually this will also pass for Gen Z because they're in the middle of that phase (as the youngest is 12, and the oldest is 27, they're in the middle of that particular phase). Gen A won't be much of a difference I think, it's the same story. Heck, if they are concerned about looking young now, you just know their trend will be to look older just to be different. It's the usual cycle of growing up.
Seriously gen z look so old and it's funny bc they're also the most ageist
I’ve heard you’ll actually ruin your skin by using anti aging skincare when you don’t need it. At most kids might need sunscreen and a light moisturizer, MAYBE.
@@lunasolarii first yall said gen z looked like kids now yall saying they look old, make up your mind ffs.
@@livinqlovelyysaid you looked like kids before all the fillers and clothing styles that sucked back in 2003
I'm about to turn 40 and I promise you are not old. I still don't have a clue what I'm doing or what I want to do with my life. I don't wear makeup. I still feel beautiful and saying that 36 is old or that 40 is old is dumb. I think this is the best time of our lives. We have more money and still are healthy to enjoy life. Don't let social media mess with you mind.
Happy early birthday! 🎂 ❤
Heirs to many more,
You're just getting started they ain't seen nothing yet
I’m 57. I don’t look it so l find it funny when I get hit on by younger guys!
Yessss I am 36 soon and don’t feel a day older than 26
True, I read an article where they asked older people(70-80) at what age they would go back if they could and most said in their 30s.
I'm around the same age as you and I'm happy to read you don't know wtf you're doing because I don't either. Hey twin!!😅
Also very important to keep in mind, besides the preventable habits like smoking, drinking, vaping, all drugs, diet, toxic environment plays a HUGE role in rapidly aging you on the outside while making you sick on the inside too!
Narcs whether at work or within your personal home life definitely have lasting effects!
I will say this over and over and over again. It’s vaping. Stress too but gen z hella vapes like CRAZY and it ages you so much. It’s not much different from cigarettes
That Cheers pic was from season 11. The ages are from season 1. They are all 11 years older than the given ages in the pic. Except Kristie Alley. She was 36 in that pic. Steve Martin in father of the bride was 50. Diane Keaton was 49.
Thanks. I was like there's no way in hell those ages are accurate 😒
I will say, some of them definitely still look older than they were in the photo - Woody Harrelson in particular seems to have decided to be about 45 for a good 40 years.
@@khillsjust for persoective's sake, I was a teen during Cheers, and Woody didn't look 45 to the audience. He was the young 20-something... he was kinda seen as the baby of the cast, and he looked it to us.
@@joob40 I mean, I was a kid while Cheers was on TV, and I had the benefit of having uncles in their late teens/early 20s, so he did always seem older to me than 21 when he showed up… 🤷🏼♀️
Steve Martin went grey young. So he always looked a little older than he was anyway. But it's still sad that grey women are seen as "older" than grey men of the same age or younger.
I was mistaken for a 22 year old at 14, now i am 35 and still mistaken for 22... i got carded at an r rated movie last year by a 19 year old and was like wtf.
I went to a casino for the first time when I was 30. I was with a few other people, none of who got carded, but I did. No problem, I pull out my card, they look at it, they look at me, they look at it, they look at me, then they called over TWO more people to inspect my card. And I'm here thinking, I HAVE to look older than 19, come on people! But maybe it's just that crazy Millennium wizardry. They did eventually let me in lol...
@@heavenlyshadev783 every time i go to a bar they double check my card and question if its fake lol
@@pennyrussell3252 Maybe we need a fake one to age us down a decade so they will believe it lol
Forever 22 lol
I'm pretty sure the carding rule is if u look under 40, u will get carded.
Im 33 and have acne, and like 5 feet tall, I get IDed all the time... though I dont really care, but I find how hydrated and how much sleep Ive gotten makes a huge difference!!
We're in the same boat.
Seeing this pop up on my feed made me chuckle. I was carded buying alcohol two days ago. I'm 35 and legal age here is 19 and it made my day lol
Though I do have a baby face so it make is hard to pinpoint my age sometimes.
Back in the 80s everyone tanned carelessly and smoked.. And even if you didn’t smoke, you still smoked because it was even allowed on airplanes like.. wtf ?!everything before the 90s was just like the Wild West no surprise they all looked like the Marlboro man by 23
Exactly! Some of it is down to skin damage
Hey the 90s kids were just as reckless. I would the say the turnaround happened in the early aughts.
I tanned, smoked, and drank in the ‘80s, ‘90s, and part of the ‘00s. People still mistake me for my daughters. Sometimes I’ll be out with my youngest daughter, and people will start to say something about "your sister" and we’ll have to correct them.
This last couple years have been rough, and the stress and living with constant health problems have started to show, but I still look easily 20 years younger her than people I went to school with… it’s not genetics, most of my elder family look every bit their age, and sometimes more.
I finally started doing proper skincare at 38, because I had adult acne, and it was horrible to deal with, but even now, I’m not necessarily on my routine every day, I’m old, I’m tired lol. I have no idea how I escaped as cleanly as I have so far, it must be the witchcraft 🧙🏻♀️ 😂

How is looking younger an insult?
@@naelielizalde1776 I think cos if u said someones 15 to an adult its kinda saying they look like a child. Not everyone would take that as a compliment haha
@@naelielizalde1776It's kinda insulting when you're an adult and get told that you look like a young teen because a lot of the time it feels like the same people that tell you that are not taking you seriously and infantilize you. Also, most of the time it's random strangers that make those remarks or creepy dudes that tells you you look 12 and then hit on you. At least that's my experience of it.
@@naelielizalde1776 As someone who looks younger than I actually am, it depends on the phrasing. I'm 29 and people are always shocked that I am at the end of my 20s. They always say that I look younger. When they phrase it like this, it's less offensive. However, when they say, I look like 15, this is an insult. If they see me as a teenager, even though I'm at the end of my 20s, it means that they are not taking me seriously.
@@MrsDaedalus_ yeah I don't mind it and i like it, I'm 20 but people say I look younger. So It doesn't bother me unless they're being jerks or weird about it. I think it's cause I stress alot and have poor sleep schedule so it's nice to hear I still look young even though I feel like shit.
My boyfriend is 35 and sometimes I get a little sad when he talks negatively about aging, he's so incredibly beautiful and I especially adore his crows feet when he smiles/laughs. Aging isn't a bad thing and seeing the years on someone's face is almost poetic in my opinion
Wow he has crows feet already? I’m 38 and no wrinkles
There are so many factors that influence how "old" we look. Face shape, hair, body shape/weight, style, skin, posture or even context! I am in my mid-30s and I have a faculty position at a university. Often, in casual clothes, people address me like I'm a student. I don't think I look extremely young and when I'm out with my kid, students don't assume I'm a student anymore. Same person, same style, different context.
That's why, when I am giving a lecture in a more formal context, like an inaugural lecture or a keynote talk, I tend to wear what I call Stella Gibson core to look more mature. Being a shorter woman with feminine features in a scientific field strongly dominated by men and at conferences where most of them are older and have more accumulated reputation, I want to consciously avoid being mistaken for a student because it unfortunately still can make a difference.
I'm not good at English, but I would like to point out that it's not always about the face or skin care. I'm 30, my brother is 23, but many people think he's older than me. He's a big guy with a serious face, and I'm a short lady with pink hair and bright clothes. That's all
Being short is part of it. I was carded routinely into my early 40s. I’m 4”9, Native American genetics. (It’s a blessing, really; you’ll miss it when it stops.)
yeah, was about to comment that. for many short people = young. that`s also why i still get carded at 25.
I never wore sunscreen. I tanned in high school. I then moved to Hawaii, CA, and FL, where I lived at the beach. I was night into wayer sports ( still am). I never wore sunscreen because sunscreen fries me (I'm alergic). I moved to the Midwest and bought a boat. So, I continued to live in the sun and I continue to tan twice a month in a tanning bed. I'm 40 and e everyone thinks in at least 10 years younger. I have great genes. The women in my family look great. My grandma is 91 but looks much younger. I've never smoked, never been a heavy drinker, no drugs, no kids. I'm fit and have long blonde hair. Maybe those are factors?
@@keeleyhank6812I think you're delusional.
Yeah that lady has a face that doesn't hold as much fat in the cheeks naturally, and it makes her look wiser. She needs to lean into knowing science facts and she'd get more clout because she just looks like she should know stuff.
She could also easily put on old people make up and look 50 and people wouldn't think twice.
That Cheers comparison is misleading… those may have been actors ages when show began, but not when pic was taken
Thanks! I thought somthing was off
I don't think it's too far off though because, looking at kelsey grammer, that's where his hair was sometime in his early 30s. So all of them are probably 3-5 years older than there, and some easily look 10+ older
I checked and this is the poster for season 11, so they were around ten years older than what the video says
Perhaps is because back then, people moved out and started working at 18 years of age. They took on their adult responsibilities early and continued to do so. Most people today don't have rigorous schedules that early on. Plus, more people had children early on.
People still do that.
I’m so glad I randomly came across your channel. This video was excellent and you are adorable. Love the sweater vest

i didnt start looking old in my opinion until i had a baby at 29. Its all downhill after that. 32 this year. For sister in the first clip, its definitely her nasolabial creases around her mouth and the grey hair that are aging her.
I know a 23 year old who has two kids and she looks 17. I don't think having kids is the issues.
It's more lack of taking care through stress and then those things like grey hairs, creases, and cosmetic surgeries that are associated with older people.

Girl is braver than me. Love that about her! I hope the comments have been kind because she's beautiful and being mid 30s isn't the big deal we used to think it was when we were Gen Z's age
I have gotten to the point in my life where I, at the age of 26, want to become Miss Havisham. Sit around in a giant house wearing my wedding dress, never seeing the sun, and thinking about the men who have wronged me. THAT is how I want to age.
YES! Thank you, i'm down for this too 😂
personally i want to forget about the m*n
Idk I feel like that’d just make you bitter and you’d end up aging faster bc of that
As an ageing person I suggest to try to let go of men (or any people) who’ve done me wrong part. It’s self limiting and also pointless. If they’ve done wrong, they have. Those who haven’t done you wrong, haven’t and there are billions of them. Even if you don’t wanna have anything to do with them, the mindset is both irrational and hardly helpful.
you do you girl, you'll look flawless in that dress, but I'll wish you can put those memories in the trash 💅 don't waste your time any further ✊🏻🔥
I think some people just have features that make them automatically look more mature or younger regardless of their skincare, genetics and lifestyle. Like the 29 year old woman who looks like 36 just kinda has a face matching an older person. Maybe it's because she has droopy eyelids, thin lips and a bigger nose, you know kinda like the opposite of the baby schema. Like people (especially women I think) look automatically younger than they are if they have big doe eyes, a small nose, full lips and round cheeks. Also body types / sizes. There is just a type of figure that I personally associate with a 30+ mom of 3. Also wearing colours, makeup, hair colour that doesn't match your skin tone. I feel like the woman with the botox does look older because of the botox but also the tone of her hair makes her look kinda old.
Yeah. It's kinda sad but even young folks can have a big nose and small eyes and look older, which comes to show how messed up our aesthetics are nowadays. We all aren't designed to look like anime or Disney characters.
This is it exactly. She has a strong nose, and grooves to her mouth which make us perceive her as older. In the first video she looked really quite old and ill too in the grey hoody. It didn't suit her at all. I would have placed her in her 50s. In the second video she looks brighter and better, but still way past 29.
My mother is very similar. She has a large nose, went grey early, and had always looked older than she is.
the perm solution at the perm store !
hehehehehe 😂
The second one has been tanning in addition to getting fillers. Her hair color also mimics that of an older woman who is dyeing her gray hair. Those three things make her look older. I’ve never had Botox. My peers that did, have ruined their skin. I get told all the time that I don’t look my age. I’ve used moisturizer since I was 13 and I have stayed out of the sun. I’m 65. It also could be good genes.
there are certain actresses who always looked (to me) older than they were (susan sarandon springs to mind, emma thompson too), and i always thought it was cool to watch them age and settle into the face that was waiting for them
Most hollywood actress looks much older they age worse after 30 same goes for any race except southeast Asia.
Cate Blanchett and meryl Streep are other ones that spring to mind and they’re all absolutely beautiful.
Exactly, people who look older in their 20/30s sometimes then age very gracefully into their faces when they actually reach those ages
Kate Winslet looked like such a grown-up in Titanic.
The blonde haired woman that does all the fillers, she does look like she’s in her 30s plus. And I think that’s because younger people don’t realize that the nasal label folds really age you more than some slight wrinkles around your eyes or on your forehead. Those will age you so much more than crows feet. And quite frankly, when I saw when she stated her age, I was shocked because she looks really old. The first lady who was in her late 20s constantly asking do I look 36 she had the same problem. As well as her hair and her clothing. I’m not saying she needs to wear make up but her skin looked dull. And in your 20s your skin shouldn’t look that dull, I do think that the first lady needs a really good skin care routine and maybe she should spruce up her hair a little bit. but I only say that because she’s distressed over the fact that people think she looks 36. If she doesn’t wanna look 36, you need to take care of your skin, you have to get rid of the Grey in your hair, you have to wear clothing that doesn’t make you look frumpy all the time. even Billie Eilish who wears oversized kind of comfortable clothes that could look really frumpy on people, she does fun things with her hair and she wears make up and she takes care of her skin. That’s why Billie Eilish looks like she’s in her early 20s which is how old she is.
36 here, and everyone at my job thinks I’m in my 20s. I think a lot of it can contribute to overall mental attitude and just keeping up a healthy natural life style. No smoking and no drugs, no tanning yourself to death.
same ! my genz coworkers in their early 20 said they thought I was 24 I said add 10 years . I sure shocked them !
People think I'm younger too..but I'm very anxious, smoke and drink. I honestly don't know what it is. But the amount of times I've shocked my coworkers and how dumbfounded they seem makes me think they're not faking it to make me feel better... But being my age shouldn't be anything to feel bad about.
Yeah and generally being open/friendly is a young trait that I think millennials and older has had “trained” into us, while younger generations are more open with their negative feelings which is a good thing (imo).
07:32 Wow, check out Betty White!! Meee-ow! The new photo also changed her teeth, though.
SHE'S 29 YEARS OLD???? OMFG I thought she was 40
Being overweight ages you until you're about the age people expect jowls/marionette lines. The idea that having extra fat makes you look more youthful is only true in the sense that a 60-year-old might look 50.
I am 40 and if she said she was around my age, I would think ‘sure’ but I would also think she actually looked a bit rough and she needs to start taking better care of her skin and hydration. She has quite lax and dull skin and that is what makes her look a bit “old”.

12:13 honestly with this lady it’s everything. The to dark spray tanned orangy face combined with the cool blond tone that really doesn’t match the skin tone, makes it look leathery, the fake lashes plus overfilled lips and puffy face from probably filler. Get the right foundation for your skin tone, get a hair Color that complements it (this forced blonde just looks cheap) and take of those lashes, she would instantly look younger imo

Referencing newspapers helps a lot. Using actual words that aren't said on the Internet like lovely, vernacular, serendipitous, fortnight(the time), etc. be warned though, people from Tumblr might identify you as one of their own if you use specific rare words like Overmorrow. Which also might age you because that's so old.
Either way, if you mix up words enough you can improve your diction and make it so that no one understands you unless they've read quite a bit.
@@dianaquill9969 is this satire or am i deeply concussed
A totally anecdotal thing I noticed is when I snoop on ppl I went to high school with, all of the ppl who followed the expectations others had for them look way older than their age, while the ppl who chased their own dreams look much younger. There were a lot of wealthy families at my school, and they all set expectations for their kids- they were told where to go to university, what to study, what career path to take, all to maintain the family image. Every single one of those ppl look miserable as adults. A couple of them did exactly what they wanted to do, regardless of their family expectations, and all of their pictures they look youthful and happy with their lives. Like I said, totally anecdotal, but i definitely still think there’s something to it
My aunt said the same thing. She went to a High School reunion and she said, her friends who stayed in the same town and took over their parents businesses, got married early and don't even really travel for vacation looked way older than the people who left after school, have unstable/random careers, had kids out of wedlock and travel a lot.
At my High School Reunion (Class of 2004) the people who looked old were basically the people who smoked cigarettes and weed behind the school and hung around the pretentious, smoke filled, drugs-are-okay bars even as teenagers. Alcohol and smoking ages you, la di da. I looked younger for a long time, when I had a kid, I suddenly looked my age. haha.
Though there is some logic to your opinion.. it can be the opposite too.
I led a grounded life, studied hard, had an arranged marriage. I may not have an exciting life but I am thoroughly content.. have 2 amazing kids, a loving, steadfast, slightly boring husband (but genuinely dedicated to me and my kids).. Girls my age seem more excited and younger than me as they still party, dress well and go out a lot. I mostly stay home, prefer charity over shopping and dress modestly. You might think I look old (and I do) but I am content.
The point being, the people who look old may not be bothering to put up much effort as they are content with the way they are...
So true! Artists stay young!
Stress factor is one of it. I believed there’s beauty trends that kids used as “role model”. The kardashian and ariana grande must be in part of these. People just don’t want to be “white skin”? Why is that?
While in my country people wants to be white, consume shit tons thing till their kidneys damaged. Celebrities play a lot role in this. Millennial look older too in 2000s lol
Wow
I used to asked & compare which is older between my sister and I, funny times. The fact that my sister passed away before 30, age is just number. Positive thinking, positive attitude and smile are making you younger. Fulfill your live with purpose and avoid useless random things on social media😅
The trends that are coming back in style make people look older too
I am 6 years older than my late gen Z partner, and I look like a tired teenager.
Something I want to note, and this is with the heavy caveat than people can do whatever they want with their bodies, but I automatically think people with a lot of plastic surgery and fillers look older because I grew up only seeing older people have those procedures. It's like the style association thing Vsauce explains. Plastic surgery to look younger = being older to me.

This is fascinating. People have thought I was about 30 years old ever since I was 14 and I'm 40 now (so I've looked 30 for over 2 decades! 😂)
I managed to sometimes look my actual age in my 20s, but I had to cultivate a "style" to make that work. I once shocked a friend by transforming myself from an apparent 26 to 36 by letting myself get more comfortable & "frumpy" with my hair and outfit. But for me, I blame my neurodivergence. It makes me seem younger than I am now, but in the past it made me seem older because I liked to be comfy.
Also, I like that age isn't as obvious among adults now - I learn a lot from people much younger than me, and have fun with friends much older than me. I don't feel boxed in or limited in how I interact with people who aren't my own age, and I think that's facilitated by the difficulty in guessing people's ages now. 🙂
SMOKING!!! tobacco smoke was everywhere prior to the 90s and it ages the hell out of you.
this and sun damage from never using sunscreen. my dad used mercurichrome and baby oil.
I've been smoking for a decade now, but at 35 they still ask my ID, so no, it's pretty much genetics.
@@sylvia470if you are 35 then you should know that smoking causes damage lol, it's literally proven that you will "age" quicker. Some other effect from smoking are.
Dry skin, uneven pigmentation, baggy eyes, saggy jawline and deeper facial wrinkles.
Ofcourse everyone experiences it differently but it WILL make you look more aged the older you get because it literally damages your cells.
Not true, smoking for years never aged me. And I actually think more millennials used/use to smoke rather than Gen Z as when I was a teenager is was 'popular' to smoke and you got bullied for non smoking and now it's the opposite. 😆
My coworker thought I was 25 when I was 20 and an airport security guard thought I was under 18 when I was 22. It’s never on the nose because aging is complex.!
I think a lot depends on other things too, your hairstyle, hair color, what make up you're wearing or not wearing, your clothes, voice and actions.
I see 11-12 years old who purposely try to look 20 years old or older so it always looks weird. That's what happens when you blidnly follow influencer fashion I guess.

Genetics! My mom looks younger than her age, and so do I (as told to me by others). My grandma always had a younger look than her age too. I'm an elder Millennial 🤷🏻♀️
Guess it helps too though - no smoking ever, hardly any drinking and no excessive tanning
I have the same thing. Those who don't know my mom that well can't believe she has a 26-year-old daughter. But when they see me, they say we're just joking because I look under 20 years old. I am constantly referred to as my 18-year-old sister's twin. My mom has a colleague who is now 27-28 years old. Mom says she feels the difference between the millennial and GenZ between us. 😮
I truly exist with an irrational fear of becoming an "old teenager." This is when your clothes, size, and behavior remain about the same as a 20-year-old, but your face and skin already look like you're over 45 and you're nearing menopause. I dunno, maybe I have some psychological issues.
This video freaked me out! I can’t believe the ages of some of these women! I’ll be 54 yo this year, and I get feedback I don’t look it. My thinning hair, resistant greys, and slight weight gain added years, but I def don’t look 50s. When I think 50s I do think the way Hollywood portrayed that age when I was growing up 70s.
Baby face can also be challenging to have since some people won't take you seriously since they think you're a child. I was 25 with my mother in law, when a house realtor asked what high school I would be attending in the area and I said I'm out of college and trying to get my own place lmfao.
Yup I’m abt to be 35 and my baby face finally went away
I was 25, 6 months pregnant with my first and working at Pier 1 . One lady asked me what high school I just graduated from in Scottsdale AZ . I told her I didn't graduate from there and I graduated in 2007. When the math caught up to her it was a smack in the face. having a baby face sucked ! I think I'm just now looking my age now I've lost my cheek fat.
Her style definitely made her look even older in the second video
Yep and the shape of her glasses makes her look older!
yeah thought the same, she could look much younger, i dont get why she doesnt dye her hair, if shes 29 and already getting gray hair, thats crazy. Yeah she shoudl definetly get some new glasses... although getting guessed 35 while your 29 is really no insult.
Yeah, the first video has the "I am not old, only chronically tired" vibe, the second video has a "I am old and trying to look younger" vibe which influences a lot how we see someone
@@soom878 Maybe she likes her hair and don't want to get it colored. I have a friend who got grey hair when she was 21, it's genetics and she doesnt care about it, leaves it as is.
Also, this thing with age.. it's genetic as well. I get that using botox and maybe stressing out ur skin with different chemicals (anti-aging creams etc) plats a big roll, but genetics are very important. So some people will look younger, others older, no matter what they do. And another thing, is that when asking people "how old do i look", one needs to think about the fact that different people will think that different attributes ages u up/down. Some will notice ur wrinkles more, for ex, while others wont. It's about what details people notice.
Sorry if hard to understand, English is not my main language 😅😊
Another thing. I didn't notice her gray hair, so it didn't affect how old I thought she looked. However, she looks tired, which I understand because she has children. She has slightly darker circles under her eyes and I think that affects how old she looks. I also have dark circles, and look younger if I put makeup over them. I think that if you look less tired, you usually look younger too.
Im a younger millennial who wasn't huge on sunscreen for my face until recently. I have had problem skin and difficult-to-manage acne from early puberty. Sunscreens and most products made my skin even worse. Now turning 30, I still have problem skin but thankfully I am able to tolerate sunscreen and it is much more manageable. Dermatologist says is is in my genes. Im surprised that even tho I am a newer sunscreen user, my gen Z coworkers think I'm in my early 20's and they all think I'm a new graduate 😂
This has already been said, but aging is a privilege. I turn 30 this year and I'm so excited about it! Looking forward to my 30's and all they may bring.
What is this cute moving digital pet in the back? Also cute content!
I am in my mid forties, gen x/ millennial cusp.
My husband is the same age and has a baby face. People often think our adult kids are our partners or siblings and ask if I was a teen mom when they find out I’m the mom.
I think it has a lot to do with sunblock, being in a happy marriage for over 20 years, so low stress, and never having any fillers. I have never had any work done, not even Botox. Not saying I won’t, it just scared me so putting it off as long as I can.
Both my parents died in their early forties, I have out lived them. So for me aging is a gift that I am thankful for, I love every wrinkle and grey, I have earned them❤
Lol you’re too old to be a millennial. You’re gen x. It’s okay to admit that.
You are full gen x
You are full of B's lmao
Exact same. If my husband didn’t have gray hair and a beard people would think he was still in his late 20s. My niece’s friends just a couple years ago at her wedding thought I was their age. His deputy manager’s girlfriend was shocked when I told her I was mid 40s. I find it hilarious because when I was 17 people thought I was a decade older (my brother who is 8 years older would have friends who asked me if I graduated with them) and now everyone thinks I’m a couple decades younger so it’s like I’m perpetually in my 20s😂. How we behave, dress, and if you are a woman, do your makeup, can have a big impact on how you are perceived. When we were growing up, no one did the full beat. It wasn’t even an option for me since I couldn’t even find pantyhose that matched my skin much less foundation. We also were outside, granted not with sunscreen, but way more physically active, and let’s face it a lot of Gen X are perpetual teenagers 😂.
Gen X here. We definitely got the memo about sunblock.I've stopped aging so long that people are starting to ask questions. (Started daily sunscreen as a teen.)
That @chelsalay woman being 29 - and taken for 36 - actually looks even older. Much older. I am 57 and look like that.
I swear she looks like a 40-50 yr old version of my mom who is now 71. Which was a bit wild to me seeing her; I'm 39 in a couple of months!
ikr
Same thoughts, especially when she let her hair down and she had so many grays plus her haircut. Looked like she's in her late 40s/early 50s. Blows my mind she's 29.
Her glasses are terrible. She needs to find a more modern look. Without glasses she looked much more her age, until she scrunched up her face. More happy feelings and different glasses and she won't be taken for 45 or older.
Yeah I’m old enough to be her mum but I’d look at her and think she’s in my peer group
You are so funny!
hell naw, Icant with that lip wrinkle-preventing straw
the 22 year old definitely looks much older to me. maybe 37-40. she looks like a 40 yr old trying to look younger
Believe me there are 40 year olds that look way younger than this
My fiancé said over 50
Im 43 and she looks older than me.😢😢😢
Fillers do tend to make people look like they are older because we associate them with old people I think
My mom is in her late 50s and looks younger than her...... The fillers and hair dye have definitely *not* helped her.
Up until I was 23, people consistently thought I was younger (16~18). Then I got a decade where people could guess my age accurately. Depression does that to a face; but I think my demeanor was also a huge factor. Now people are starting to find me younger-looking again. Smiling and being more joyful definitely helps.
My story a 100%. I aged a lot(physically and mentally) since I went downhill. And now being back on my feet again enjoying life little by little..I get to see myself looking and feeling younger again.
I’m pushing fifty and have been through hell re health the past decade so I look pre rough and feel worse. Looking in the mirror is something to be avoided. But I was happy to see that based on your video there are apparently a lot of much younger people who also look like the back end of a bus. Misery loves company. 🤓
6:08 she actually looks older than before…
For some reason the haircut made her look like a whole mom with grown adult kids like I would not hesitate to think she's 50-60😅 she just naturally has a mature looking face
@@chai_lattes all she needs is a hair dye
I thought she looked older too but I love that she kept her real hair colour. And it's her style so who cares if she seems a bit more mature than she is 😊
@@chai_lattes I think she is a mom.... which is part of the reason. But she actually looks older than my mom who's mid-50s. Her face shape/hair color/ personal style/ body shape are all aging her (and most of those things are things she could fix with some effort). At least she still has young, non-sun damaged skin which will help her out a LOT later on. Ngl, losing some weight would reduce the puffiness in her cheeks around her mouth lines because those lines are usually only that prominent on people 50-60+
Botox lady too, she looks so old because the lip injections made her skin look saggy around her mouth.
Yeah she does.
people just have wayyyy unrealistic ideas of what others should look like at a certain age. Also being chronically online and not knowing what people actually look like without filters and editing, they should go outside time to time.
