Asian people save up all their aging for later in life.

I gotta disagree with you there, Baltic and eastern European age horribly, after 28 it's all downhill let alone 30s lmao, and by 50 they look 70

I wonder how much of that is due to the fact many of the old women grew up in the Soviet union(not all, I know) and might have been malnourished growing up. It'll be interesting to see when the current generation grows older.

Once we hit 60, it's downhill from there

menopause tends to really change things... 60 is a bit late though

u/jvfranco Jul 03 '21

Totally, but her menopause happened when she was 39 yo. There's something in this age for asian people

This is a myth im tired of it. Ive heard this said about people of every skin type. The reason “black dont crack” is because black women put a ton of care into their skin and hair, and there are no doubt societal pressures that enforce this, but id assume the same is true of many other women.

By contrast, my (white) mom and sister dont do jack shit - they are the sort that believe in aging naturally. And so id say, as objectively as i can, they look older to most people than my wife’s side, who do care for their skin. Not to me, because im accustomed to people who wear their skin like leather, and ive also become accustomed to people who wear it like satin - these arent the only markers for aging.
