Many Americans eat processed foods or fast foods, they also lead party lifestyles of smoking and drinking, this could be a factor in why they age quicker. Europeans look younger because we eat organic natural foods and tend not to drink in excess, it just depends on how you look after yourself.

Right, I didn't catch this one. I really don't understand this comment. I mean, last time I checked, Ireland, France, Russia, UK, etc... are considered European countries. And other European nations drink as much. Granted, I don't know how much Americans drink, but it's safe to assume Europeans win here.

PS- I assume "to drink" means "drink alcohol beverages". If it has other meanings, I apologize.

This article claims that it costs binge drinking in America around $224 billion a year, there's a difference between drinking in large amounts responsibly and drinking dangerously which can be costly to the economy, productivity, well being and the national health service. In some countries, the alcohol industry makes more than it loses.

You are absolutely correct when it comes to food, I never realized what a vast difference there was in this respect until I actually started travelling in Europe. I would say that eating junkfood is America's #1 form of entertainment.

I don't know why for certain but I have heard that Americans tend to age quicker. It could be the environment, pollution, diet or other factors but I definitely think one of the common reasons for aging quicker is eating processed food and drink instead of natural organic foods. Hormones in certain types of food can cause people to develop and age faster, it has been rumored that fast food also contain hormones in them.

Smoking is more common in the United States than the United Kingdom but it seems drinking is more popular here, smoking is definitely a factor in aging. Tanning is also another factor of aging, I was watching a Television show about elderly people in Miami and they had wrinkled dry skin from too much Vitamin D.

I have to agree with the lifestyle choices or maybe smoking. All my sisters color their hair except me. I thought it was because I am the only one who didn't smoke. My one sister, one year older,who is a recovering addict looks the oldest. When I am out and about with my 21 yr old son people ask how old I was when I had him.

From that perspective, it's entirely possible that binge drinking (drinking in excess) could indeed be more prevalent in the US. It could be that more people drink in Europe, but those that do drink less, and fewer people drink in the US, but those that do drink more...

I still think it's the soda pop - the annual per capita consumption of sugary soft drinks in the US is 216 liters(!)

No other country even comes close...

Neither do I. Although we do work too much and eat too much crap, I've always thought it's th people from climates with less sun who age terribly, Brits in particular. Bad skin, bad teeth= poor aging. Come to think of it, nearly every great looking Brit I've ever seen is on this site. :scratch:

I'm not complaining.

Same here. I was so insecure as a teen. Plus, I looked like a kid and that's usually the last thing you want as a teen. I do think confident people are more attractive because they shine and they have a certain glow that makes them more attractive. I'm not into egoists and narcissists so there IS such a thing as having too much confidence (it is annoying and it makes you less attractive), but I do think a bit of confidence and maturity is needed.

For reals.

And to jump on the "then and now photo bandwagon"

2006 - I was almost 17 in this shot. Was my senior photo.

2011 - Senior year. I'm 21 here. This was for a friend's photo shoot.

I dunno about you but I think I look better in the second shot. That's just me though, thoughts?

i think i was objectively better looking when i was half my age, but it doesn't matter. i am happier and healthier and more mentally youthful now, so there is no contest in my mind as to which age i would rather be.

I think I look better now [age 45] than I ever have. I am sure I have ''aged'' somewhat but it always seems to me that everyone else around me has dramatically changed physically while I haven't.

Since this is a RICKY5 topic, I think his point is:

RICKY5 will probably write:
