Why does society care about youth too much?

[SarahS98]

Celebrities such as JL or Shakira keep posting pictures about them aging like done and how youthful they still look.

Obviously botox, fillers or surgery do wonders. Too much value is placed on looking young forever. Just recently there was a poster asking if it's fun when women ages 30-40 years are treated poorly by men because they hit the wall.

Mocking and treating others poorly is already an awful trait in a person. Then those promoting that bullying behaviors aren't any good either. No one deserves being treated poorly, esp if they're undergoing hardships and already down. No need to kick them further.

I'm not going to be 25 forever and it's sad when looking young like those celebrities is the only thing society cares about.

Beauty standards, especially for women, prioritize looking young among other things. Wrinkles aren’t sexy, liver spots aren’t sexy, you know what’s sexy? Actors, people in the spotlight, in terms of appearances the modern beauty standards are very shallow. In particular, women are often believed to be their most attractive in their mid-20’s, though most peak in their beauty about 10 years later. Not that it matters, when you’re not young, you’re not as hot as you could have been. That’s just how media works and that’s how they sell their products is with young people 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's a sad, shallow and empty world. Instead of valuing things that are permanent and really matter, all they care about is how good you look and keeping a youthful face for ages.
It would be great if people were taught to embrace age with dignity, to love their age. We're all going to die one day anyways, no matter how well the celebrities continue putting the fillers.

It’s more that we’re just too easily influenced by advertisements than that the world is a terrible place of terrible people.

From the male side, because universally all men like younger looking women, there's a multitude of reasons for that, but generally men of all ages find younger women the most attractive, cause duh. Also, society places a lot of worth on a woman because women are mostly judged from a looks perspective so it makes sense that it would be prioritized. Also, it's easier to sell beauty products, which is a multi multi billion dollar industry and most people want to stay as "youthful" as possible cause no one likes aging.

Though there is a difference between exercising, living a healthy life (ex: not smoking nor exposure to sunlight too much) and eating healthy vs trying to hide wrinkles when you're much older through surgery and chemicals.
We're all going to die one day eventually. No amount of youthful products nor money can't stop that.

Despite denying it, biologically we are evolved to favor fertility/fecundity--- The pursuit of the opportunity to hereditarily move one's genes forward to a 'fresh' iteration.
To sow our 'seed's as far and wide as social circumstance will condone.

Those self-same folk who are so vehement in opposing medical abortion and contraception are those least likely to harbor/adopt society's 'bastard' offspring...
thereby punishing those very lives they demanded be born! :(

Longevity and comfort.

If you look younger its because you're healthier, which means you will be more likely to live longer and feel better.

It's not sad, striving for a longer, healthier life is good. Being pro aging is bad.

I do agree using botox/fillers/surgery or bullying people is stupid and will just cause more aging, but trying to use those issues as an excuse to promote aging is also stupid.

[SarahS98]

Well yes, staying healthy, doing exercises and avoiding greasy foods such as KFC is one thing. That I would agree. However, having surgery or using chemicals to make wrinkles temporarily disappear seems pathetic.
If we live a healthy, longer life and get to the age where wrinkles show up then there is nothing wrong with embracing your age with dignity, instead of trying to forever hide the obvious.

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you live in a healthy way, the wrinkles don't show up.

[LiamJHayden]

I think some of it is vanity and some of it that aging makes our mortality seem more real, so perhaps part of it is a fear of the death that awaits us all.

[Adogdog]

It's interesting for sure! Looking young is a good thing I guess.

[SarahS98]

It's sad when society expects you to look all youthful as when you were in your 20's and not be seen with any fine lines nor wrinkles instead of embracing your age and aging with grace.
I have no interest in ever doing fillers nor surgery

[Adogdog]

I believe in always having natural looks. That's the way I am.

[RoosterBreast]

Fillers and surgery don't prevent neurodegenerative diseases, work injuries, depression, and all that shit which true health prevents.

I've always, always been pissed at women who spend countless hours and dollars on toxic shit in front of the mirror while eating junk.

It's not even attractive. Hell no. Like it was stressed here: Women care about looks more than Men do. ↗

Makeup is inferior to actually good skin because you eat well.

By the way, all these celebrities are trannies. That's right, they are secretly transgender illuminati puppets and their husbands are biologic women. I don't fucking know who shakira is but JLO is a tranny, that's what a fucking therapist said who treated her.

Romanticization and rose colored glasses.
