What do you think: Do women or men age better?

[cyclingkmi]

What do you think...

Women age better than men or men age better than women?

Women age better than men

Men age better than women

[Apple1996]

Anyone saying it's men is purely because women have forced beauty standards while men do not so they are "allowed" to age while women apparently aren't. So those people thinking that are brain washed by our society. Open your eyes look around and I'm sure you'll notice most women look good while most men don't regardless of age.

So my answer here is women because we always look good throughout our whole lives

[cyclingkmi]

Exactly 💯! Finally someone said the fact.
I have always felt women ALWAYS look good and better than men , regardless of the age.. also... A man would look older earlier since he (can ) get bald head , grey beard which add age to his looks while women don't have these issues to make them look older

[cyclingkmi]

But the question still remains in my head... when women look better and more attractive than men, why do women , in general, still choose men for relationship, romance and sex?
Women don't like nicer better more beautiful things? 🙄🤔🧐

[Apple1996]

It's in our nature to be attracted to men even if they aren't beautiful. Personally tho I'm very attracted to both men and women

[grega239]

Whos forcing you?

[anon1903]

Not to mention they get bald and develop daddy bod. No offense, but people who consider older men attractive are generally talking about celebrities lmao.

[inhua]

what the hell is forced is "forced beauty standards"? how does someone force something that is chosen?

[Meropatrick]

Its nature women are value for youth and beauty while men are valued for status. Its not forced beauty standards its biology and evolution.

[anon1903]

@Meropatrick thank you for the unwanted heteronormative culture explaination on this.

Made me puke. So cheers.

[Apple1996]

@Meropatrick youth and beauty are also valued for men. I wouldn't want to mate with some ugly old guy and risk my kids being unattractive and autistic/have other health problems from the old sperm

[Apple1996]

@inhua no women chose to be born into this world with these standards. We are just suppose to follow them

[Apple1996]

@grega239 society

[grega239]

Nope. Its actually other women who're trying to look better than the rest.

Men care less than you think

[inhua]

these "standards" aren't enforced on women. nobody told women to look like an Instagram model, a Victoria Secret model, a Barbie doll or a Kardashian. white parents aren't telling their white daughters to tan themselves nor are black parents telling their black daughters to bleach their skin nor are Asian parents telling their Asian daughters to act slutty

just because some of the attractive men are attracted to these type of women (even though they look mostly fake) doesn't mean it's in men's nature to be attracted to these women.

men aren't actively trying to seek out the Gwen Stacy's of the world, most prefer the Mary Jane Watson's down-to-Earth girls. not even jocks truly want the cheerleaders, they're nothing more than eye candy to them.

if you're gonna bring up standards, why not mention the standards men have been put through historically where women will actively engage in their own natural eugenics by selecting for men who are tall, strong, handsome etc. to great genetically superior offspring while the majority of men throughout history could never pass on their genes to the next generation

[cyclingkmi]

@Apple1996 why why? Why are women more attracted towards men and male body even though it's less attractive and more ugly than female body and face?

[Anonymous]

I definitely think men age better. For us women it's all about holding on to that beauty and youth as long as we can.

That's why I keep in shape, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs legal or otherwise, I eat healthy, I mostly stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen, I try not to wear too much make up, I drink plenty of water, I don't overdose on sugar and try to get plenty of sleep. I've also had my kids young which means I've no stretch marks. Hopefully this means I will still be attractive even when I'm 30& 40 if not as attractive as I am now. As women we naturally put on weight as we get older but if we eat right and exercise we can keep stay thinish around the waist and any fat will be distrubted in those places that are attractive to men boobs/butt/thighs.

[cyclingkmi]

Women age better... it's a fact

[cyclingkmi]

Men get grey facial hair... bald head

[Opinion Owner]

Bald men are hot with grey beards. Men aren't even in their prime attractive years until they are 30

[cyclingkmi]

Ehh is it? Seriously 😳😒?

[nolookingbackx]

It's generalization in my opinion, it always depends on a person. I can see more and more young men getting big belly and some of them lose hair earlier.

[cyclingkmi]

@nolookingbackx exactly these days even young men are getting bald head.. unlike women/girls

[MrNameless]

We often hear men age better in the media, but is that true? And if it is, could cultural differences be causing it, especially married women with kids who usually go through more stress than men do?

Men might live more stress-free than women (or at least our parent's generation). But generally, women eat better and care for their skin more (moisturizing, sunscreen).

It all comes down to the individual when it's all said and done. Minimizing stress, being physically active, eating right, and caring for our skin will make anyone look younger than the average person.

[MrNameless]

I've seen both men and women age well in their 50s and 60s, and I've also seen the flip side.

I have male relatives in their early 60s with good skin, are lean (they eat well), and are physically active. One, in particular, is also pretty stylish and dyes his hair black. So many things you can do to make yourself look younger even after accounting for eating and exercising right. Dressing well, dying your hair, putting on makeup.

I've also had a coworker in her mid 50s who I thought was initially older. But it turns out that she is physically active, but she might not have the best skin (genetics?), and she goes out in the sun a lot. The sun WILL make you look older overtime and cause wrinkles.

[kellytheman]

I do feel women do age better because they use a bunch of lotions and moisturizers and they libido speeds up and have more energy while us guys slow down. Also I do feel men do a lot more hard physical labor that can makes us break down a little faster than women.

[cyclingkmi]

A man would look older earlier since he (can ) get bald head , grey beard which add age to his looks while women don't have these issues to make them look older

[Apple1996]

Men seriously work themselves to death while they're young. It's a very sad truth and probably does make them age faster 😕

[cyclingkmi]

@Apple1996 also men masturbate a LOT.. wasting lot of semen and life energy of their body... making them older much easier

[Apple1996]

Oh no does masturbating make people age faster?

[cyclingkmi]

@Apple1996 only men.. because of loss of excessive semen

[TCredo]

@Apple1996 doesn't make me age faster lol :)

[MrNameless]

On the flip side, women go through age-related issues that affect them more than men do, like arthritis.

[Apple1996]

@TCredo fr you look so young for your age!

[TCredo]

@Apple1996 why thank you :) made me blush :)

[Lenanolena]

Majority disagree with you so you are in the minority

[cyclingkmi]

@Lenanolena what are you saying

[Lenanolena]

Most people disagree with him

[cyclingkmi]

@Lenanolena but why
What do you think

[Lenanolena]

It's biologically proven men mature faster

[cyclingkmi]

@Lenanolena is it,? Why?

[cyclingkmi]

Mature as in look older?

[Lenanolena]

Yeah

[cyclingkmi]

@Lenanolena because of bald head?

[Lenanolena]

No skin complexion, figures

[cyclingkmi]

@Lenanolena men are darker?

[Lenanolena]

I find women get more wrinkles easy

[cyclingkmi]

@Lenanolena but you say women get older earlier

[cyclingkmi]

Men*

[A_Bell]

It comes down to alcohol, sugar, sun, stress and cigarettes.

Limit those and you'll be young forever. The sun turns you into a leather cancer handbag. Cigarettes kill your lungs and small blood vessels as well as increases the odds of every type of cancer. Alcohol kills your liver. Stress causes harmful hormones to be released that mess up your health. Sugar (in all its forms) causes metabolic disorders.

I live like a vampire, don't drink, smoke or vape. Hate sugar and carbs, and chillax like champ.

[cyclingkmi]

But is it possible to avoid all those?

[Alli39]

More a function of individual genetics than gender. It's also the case that women tend to put more effort into their looks for a larger part of their life than men on average, so that might be influencing things. My grandmother used to attend physical therapy around age 70 in a full length floral skirt and styled hair.

[cyclingkmi]

But.. A man would look older earlier since he (can ) get bald head , grey beard which add age to his looks while women don't have these issues to make them look older

[Alli39]

Women age in other ways. Hair grays, skin sags, moreover women hit menopause way before men stop being able to physically reproduce. It depends on what traits you're trying basing your concept of aging on. I'm more focusing my argument on the idea that regardless of men or women's average aging, there's such a high level of variation in how people age within their gender groups that it probably doesn't have as much meaning to consider aging as a gendered process.

[monghjay2]

ALL HAIL MY GENDER PRONOUNS? ↗

[cyclingkmi]

How does it matter if a man is able to reproduce much later as well while women can't? It's not like you are going to reproduce and reproduce forever...
We stop reproducing anyway after 1-2 kids...
So it doesn't matter if women hit menopause early than men do.
at least women look younger than men because of their physical blessings

[Nikki1989]

Just look around, it is women. Most men are loosing it by their mid 30s, which sucks because that is when their brains usually finally mature.

[cyclingkmi]

Ya I know women age better. It is a curse to be a male... especially a male who has genetic tendency to turn bald with age

[ChadHelpsBros]

I'm gonna say it, bro - both genders age beautifully. Each person ages differently and there's no one way to measure or compare it. Some folks age better than others, regardless of gender. There's no sense in trying to compare or compete. Everyone is beautiful, everyone is unique, and everyone ages just fine in their own way. We've got to love and appreciate ourselves at every stage of our lives, bro.

[nolookingbackx]

Love this kind of attitude!

[cyclingkmi]

@nolookingbackx but it's not easy

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think men age like milk and women age like fine wine.

[cyclingkmi]

Exactly 💯. Finally you said the truth 🤣!
But then why do you/women still like men?

[Adaeva]

It depends on the definition of aging better. If you define it based on average life spans, women age better. If you define it based on sexual desirability and ability to produce children, then obviously men age better. Men in their 30s are only slightly less desirable then men in their twenties. However, women in their late teens and 20s are far more sexually desirable than women in their thirties. Furthermore, unlike women, men can produce children well into their 40s and even older.

[cyclingkmi]

Looks wise?

[jennifer_bloom]

I knew a 40+ guy who looked 24 and he said how you age depends on how you take care of yourself and not the number of candles on your birthday cake. I knew a very poor guy who never invested in nutritious meals and he looked 50 before his 22nd birthday. I knew a very athletic women who was 70 with no wrinkles and a job cleaning houses for a living while living with her kids and in laws and grand kids.

[cyclingkmi]

A man would look older earlier since he (can ) get bald head , grey beard which add age to his looks while women don't have these issues to make them look older

[jennifer_bloom]

He looked old cause he had double and possible quadruple wrinkles deeply etched onto his head. I don't remember how many cause I did not count but there were a lot.

[Kayla45]

Honestly I've seen some older guys who still look fantastic, even in their 50s. Women typically get the grandma look around that age. Then again I guess it depends on how lucky you are. Assuming you still have hair on your head when you're elderly and stuff.

[MrNameless]

I think it could be a lifestyle thing and stress. If older women have more stress due to responsibilities in the house and at work, that will make them age faster.

[anon1903]

@MrNameless same can be said about men. Stress does harmful things to your body, including speeding the aging process.

A rich person will look better than a poor person because they're well rested, they have less stress.

[cyclingkmi]

Almost 60 percent men get bald or balding head as they age...
While women maintain their full head hair even at old age...

[_SillyShoes_]

In a way, very socially influenced, we tend to see older men as more attractive than older women, but I hope that's changing in some ways...

Other than that men's skin is thicker and their lines don't stand out so much from their face as opposed to women's who all people are used to seeing airbrushed or made up to oblivion all the time - everywhere.

[cyclingkmi]

But A man would look older earlier since he (can ) get bald head , grey beard which add age to his looks while women don't have these issues to make them look older

[AviatorTom]

I don't think you can generalize. Everyone is different. There are so many factors that play into aging for an individual, from genetics to environment. Even how much they've been in teh sun can affect how they age.

I've seen some absolutely gorgeous women in their 60s that look 45, and I've seen some 45 year old women who look like they're 70. Same thing for men.

[TommyWiseau69]

I think men do because beauty isn't as much of a thing for men but for women, they usually wear makeup and do many other things to hide their age. Men that age seem to have more of a mature face. Women that age also have a mature face but youth is more valued in women than men.

[EricSummer]

This depends more on the individual person than on their gender. On average I'd say age treats us men kindlier. Maybe it's because we are less pretty to start with.

However, it also depends on ethnicity I think. Some women of my light Northern European skin type are dazzling in youth, but their beauty tends to fade quickly. Women from the Mediterranean or from the Middle East often last longer on facial beauty.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I think women do. But I know the majority of everyone else is probably going to say men.

[cyclingkmi]

I agree 💯👍

[Meropatrick]

We all know it men age slower. Men have thicker skin so they dont develop wrinkles earlier. Men dont go through menopause or have bone density issues that much. We all get old and end up looking horrible but i noticed it happens to women sooner and harsher even if the woman takes care of herself

[cyclingkmi]

Men get bald head..
Grey facial hair...
Loose ball sack

[nolookingbackx]

It depends on a lot of factors and skin types. There is a lot of generalization going on. I have a guy friend who's 23 y/o and already has visible wrinkles on his forehead while I am almost 26 and still don't have any. I can also see more and more younger men getting big bellies because of drinking a lot of alcohol. Oily skin is the best, it ages slower.

[cyclingkmi]

@nolookingbackx oily skin is best? But oily skin easily gets pimples.. no?

[nolookingbackx]

Oily skin ages the slowest. Not necessarily, I've seen people having problems with acne without having oily skin and someone who had oily skin that looked perfect.

[nolookingbackx]

I will never agree that women age faster. It's just based on social expectations. People don't expect from a man not to have any wrinkles, grey hair etc. On the contrary, they call it attractive. Men don't age slower, they are simply not shamed for aging.

[cyclingkmi]

@nolookingbackx ya women age slower

[anon1903]

Good looking people with great hygeine and self care age better.

[cyclingkmi]

But women have better fortune... loo better than men. It's luckier to be born as a female and curse to be a man

[anon1903]

I guess 😃

[D_Bone_Steak]

Hands down men age better than women. Some are better than others.

That poor, poor man.

[cyclingkmi]

Wrong dude 😞

[nolookingbackx]

lmao, it's just one couple and there are many men being fat at a young age. It's about eating too much and being lazy. My mom is almost 70 and she is still wearing size small.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Women age like milk, and men age like fine wine. 😂 🤣

[nolookingbackx]

Sure 😂

[HoneyButterCup525]

Seeing the answers to this post surprised me, I'm 31 lol

[cyclingkmi]

Lol
Exactly
When men look older than women..
Agree?

[HoneyButterCup525]

I always thought men had the upper hand but since I'm 31 people assume I'm younger to than my age and they think I don't have stress in my life.

[Bricealan]

By and large, give the money etc, women age better than men, if she doesn't smoke or drink or get heavy

[cyclingkmi]

A man would look older earlier since he (can ) get bald head , grey beard which add age to his looks while women don't have these issues to make them look older

[Bricealan]

Exactly... right on the money. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[SnowedIn]

Neither specifically. Some age better than others and how they take care of themselves matters.

[Simslover92]

For the most part, I think men age better than women. But there are some women that age well. Like Jessica Biel for instance or Alicia Silverstone. They both still look really young for their age.

[cyclingkmi]

What makes you feel men age better?
