Is it really true? We have a saying in my home country - "Ages dont keep people." to describe you get old quick especially for women. One of my aunt has told me that once you turn 23 - 25 years old, your wrinkles and some features representing you are not that "young" anymore will gradually come out... It is easier to tell how old a lady is than guy. Why is that? Why women tend to get old quicker by looking at the features?I wish I could be young forever:-p I want to always have young skin, firm body and no wrinkles... but human doesn't work it that way unfortunately... would you want to be young forever?

Hello mermaidivy, I think women have more problems than men and that's why we tend to look older faster than them. I don't want to be forever young but I just want to age gracefully. I think as the saying goes, "Life begins at 40", life for men really starts later than we, women. I realize that men look more attractive to women when they are older and it is the other way round for women. Do you realize that?

Yea... I wondered why everybpdy says that before and I finally understood when I got older.

physical attributions really do get 'old' as time pass by.I believe it's really inevitable to experience those wrinkles,especially for the women.i believe that's the reason why most beauty products were made for women..i believe being young doesn't really define in physical looks.youth is really all in the mind and how you live your life.

Man ages sooner, but woman gets wrinkles sooner. man lives shorter life (in an average)than woman. It is misunderstanding between age and look... Woman has thinner skin than man, but is able to be physically and mentally fit for much longer than man...

women get older faster than men because they wear themselves out waiting on his nibs while he sits there and doesnt lift a finger to help you at all. I earned my wrinkles so I will keep them aS long as I keep my mind sharp and intact and I feel young at heart and am told I dont look 80 at all.

Yeah I agree with the fact that women get or seems more older than men that is why they uses a large amount of make up to younger.
