Guys, when you get all mopey about your crush not wanting you. Just remember she probably won't be crush worthy in about 5 years or so...

This is Britney Spears NOW.

Now look at Britney Spears from 13 years ago. Keep in mind that this is someone with access to tremendous resources and has an economic incentive to stay hot.

Facebook Is SMV Time Compression Info

Look up girls on facebook you knew as "hot" from high school and/or college. You will see my point.


well to be fair she can't look like she did 13 years ago forever......and I've certainly seen much, much worse.

As for me I'll probably look like a burnt out metalhead/rocker chick when I'm 40......or sooner.

Many people in the music industry age quickly or poorly but I think that may be due to lifestyle, excessive make up use, drugs and alcohol dehydrate the skin and make people look older.

The best thing to do is stay out of the sun, stay away from smoking and alcohol, drink 8 pints of water a day and moisturise the skin three times a day.

I'm not saying ageing and genetics are irrelevant in the ageing process but I'm saying there are also other factors that contribute to the ageing process.

Theres many thing in those factors that arent exactly all good. Cities are mostly all poluted, water has in pretty much every place on earth natural occurances in it which can impact health, moisturising your skin too much can lead to losing the critical bacteria on your skin and being more prone to illness,

why? to stay looking younger? how about people just allow themselves to age naturally so that we don't have such a false image of what aging is supposed to look like.

I doubt that's going to happen, some people have better genetics than others, some people have skin that dehydrates quicker than others, some people have oily skin which ages better, there will always be an imposed standard because of that. If people had equal genetics and aged in sync, perhaps things could be different but people are always going to age at different rates.

like i said before, aging "better" would be aging properly, otherwise it's a misnomer.

it's possible to change society, but people first have to let go of promoting the idea that youth is the ideal. in fact, it isn't the ideal sort of beauty in everyone's eyes, but promoting the idea that it IS the universal ideal makes it seem unnatural to appreciate people who have aged appropriately. better to promote the idea that people should appreciate themselves and each other as they are.

even as recently as the 1950s, the most attractive women were those who looked mature. it was in the 1960s onward that eternal youth was pushed by the media. so it's not as though things have always been a certain way.

Well I am doing my best to stay away from cigarettes and I don't really wear make up other then the occasional eyeliner.....but I can't quite say the same for the other things mentioned, I don't know i don't really care if I look like a burnt out metalhead by the age of 40.

I think Joan Rivers is an example of that.

Yes but technology, awareness and skin treatments have increased greatly over the past fifty years, why not give someone that doesn't naturally have good genetics or skin the chance to have smooth and elastic skin? We should make the most of the technology because as the technology improves, future generations will start to look younger and younger because of it.
