    Well science works!

    Of course it does, you have defied the ageing process and look 10/15 years younger, cause you have used all those vitamins/products in the sources you cited.

    Whenever a girl asks i will deliberately guess 5 years younger than i think she is. Or if she says a certain age, i will stay i would have thought younger.

    I'd never ever ask someone what age they think I am.

    There's one very nice man who I thought was older than me, and he thought I was younger him, he was 29 at the time and I was 34! Whoops :P;)

    Dug out my FB profile pic from 9 years ago (pic on left) and the pic on the right is from a couple of days ago (I was wearing penguin pyjamas and had to send a pic to my penguin loving friend - hence the selfie :P). I genuinely don't think I look that much older now. And I wouldn't be one for taking a lot of care of my skin, though I do wear SPF. Maybe I just looked much older back then though which is fair enough.

    You look a lot younger now, somehow. Nice complexion.

    Hmmm, no I definitely don't there are wrinkles in my forehead now that probably aren't showing up as well in that pic but are most certainly there.

    Photography is all about optimal lighting, and even the technology used to capture a photograph, i'm guessing would have significantly over the course of 9 years.

    Maybe it's me, but I notice some quite stunning women of about 45-50 who would be considered "wrinkly" by their 20-something counterparts, but their faces have wonderful character and are very attractive.

    Absolutely, the first picture was taken on a digital camera, the second on an iphone 6 so it will most certainly be different.

    Again ageing is a natural biological process and there is nothing that can be done to stop or reverse it. Anti ageing is a extremely effective marketing technique. Sun Protection is warranted in a climate that demands it.

    For humans it isn't but for mice it is. And possibly soon for humans too.

    I guess there's this pervasive message around us that age (or moreso youth) is intrinsically linked to beauty and i think especially for women that can be a tough one to digest. it's why turning 30/35/40 can be a complete nightmare for people, and we fight to the death against this notion that we're "passed it" or the "glory days" are behind us or that we actually may in fact *horror of all horrors* look our actual age.

    maybe because an entire multi million pound industry relies upon us feeling like we need to fight ageing to the death and at all costs.

    Ageing hasn't really worked its way into the script yet when it comes to women and beauty like it has with men. we don't really have a George Clooney silver fox equivalent to aspire to. Maybe Helen mirren I guess. i just think that rhetoric that you can get more beautiful or even that you can BE beautiful as you age isn't as common for women.
    I think women should stop letting this stuff get them down though (and kinda contributing to it tbh; aiding and abetting it) - it's a self fulfilling prophecy at times. A woman thinking she's not as attractive because she's a certain age when she looks great and wouldnt even question this if it weren't for the calendar year.

    Some people do of course get haggard earlier (sun worshipping exacerbates this) but so many women really don't look the advanced age they're "supposed to".

    There are preconceptions and then there is the reality.

    Bubble bursting time. :D

    When most people tell you "you look this age" in all honesty its just them being polite. Whenever I hear the "what age is such and such a person", I usually subtract 5-10 years on what I actually think it is; depending on the person's health situation/appearance. No one likes to hear they look their age/might look older.

    Most people very much do look their age tbh.
    But how do you know what most people think? And why would someone bother going to the trouble of telling someone they look a particular age (when it's a complete lie) just out of politeness when all they have to say is "You look great"?
    Any time I say it or others whom I know say it, it's actually very sincere - it literally means they look way younger than one would expect for their age (wherever we get these notions as to what particular ages look like - I guess maybe our parents' generation?)

    "You look great" is a compliment that's likely to be less sincere and just said out of politeness. If anything, when a person does not look good but does look much younger, that's a handy fallback to replace an insincere "You look fab hon".

    Edit: oh you mean when people ask what age you think they are. Yeah I'd subtract a few years all right, but people don't tend to ask that question.

    Right, which is why I said most guys past 40 can't usually pull a girl from 20-25. Maybe you'll be an outlier and will skirt the odds into your 50s and beyond!

    They would have nothing in common anyway, the conversation would die fairly quickly IMO.

    makes sense alright , My ma was getting a lot of calls from people congratulating on her/his transition... "you look great", "gosh you'd never guess" and the likes :)
