From what I’ve heard it’s largely from less smoking and more sunscreen
and a shitty diet and no exercise.
Also waaaaaaaay less drinking
My brother is an early 70’s born gen x, I’m a late 80’s born millennial. From what I’ve seen drinking and smoking being publicly accessible and socially acceptable made them way more prevelantly indulged in.
Guy on left can afford nice shirt.
This gives a pretty good explanation of the psychology
true. i saw some people who were 80 and looked like 250. like walking corpses. incredible. probably waaay too many sunburns, etc.
Yes, but the hair loss is real.
ever since i found out about this a few years ago i’m telling everyone i meet: there’s fantastic medication (finasteride) against hair loss, and it even causes side effects! such as mild boob growth
note that only some meds to that, while others do not.
too real
Forget about it.
Wow I’m in this pic and I don’t like it.
Well except the Pantera thing. Fuck promoting Phil Anselmo at this point.
Lots of very important things, but mostly the smoking.
But it isn’t? It’s crazy how Lemmy just overconfidently states this multiple times even it’s actually sun exposure that aged people so much back then .
Also having kids.
And that nobody has AIDS.
Wait. I know that drugs control symptoms, but is AIDS now cured?
You won’t die from it anymore, and I’m pretty sure that as long as you’re medicated, you won’t transmit it either.
Oh i didn’t know that someone can’t transmit it if medicated, that’s pretty cool. Guess it explains why you don’t hear too much at all about others socially demonising those with aids anymore
When I was in my twenties people thought I looked older. Now I’m in my fifties, and people think I look much younger.
Yeah, around that age is when the accumulated damage of poor choices start becoming more evident, IMHO.
I have a friend who doesn’t sleep, has ADHD, drinks and smokes a lot, uses vyvanse, and he still looks fine as fuck, despite being a little bit overweight. He’s on his late 30s though, good appereance genes for sure.
I guess I’m just perpetually middle-aged looking. Mainly, I’ve gained belly girth, and lost hair, but my skin’s still pretty good because, despite using nothing but soap on it, I stay out of the sun.
I stay out of the sun.
Whoever said there is no advantage for us being forum nerds, there you go! (joking ofc, but not really if you think about it…)
As Jim Gaffigan said, “I’m what you call ‘indoorsy’”.
This is the best news I’ve gotten all week. I look like a less balding 90s 30. That’s great for being 45.
Does anyone else tell themselves all the other dads they meet are actually much younger than you?
Water, sunscreen. I feel like it was more common in the past to cast a far older person than the age of the character they were playing too on screen. There is also makeup, style choices and clothes that can influence a view quite a bit.
I’m 40 and I look like the second picture
I have the body of the left but the clothing of the right.
The gabagool has a hold on you
omg Gandalf really was only 38 when it started!
Wasn’t Tony in his 40’s?
Please say Tony was in his 40’s!!!
George Costanza was in his 30s throughout the run of seinfeld
Tony was 41 per the pilot script but the actor was 38.
AJ is now 41 in 2026.
After a few seasons yeah
