Why do men of the same age always look younger than women in comparison?

As I get older, I have noticed age spots, wrinkles, sagging and ill complexion, which I know is an inevitable sign of getting older, even with make up, exercise, and eating all the right things it's pretty hard to keep up! But I've noticed that the men of the same age actually look in very good shape, younger and healthier - many actually look much younger although we're all the same age, and they don't even need make-up! What is going on here? Why is this happening? :P

I think is because they don't children so they don't deal with all the stress of the children the house,the job,the kaundry the ironing,a lot of things.
They only work come back home find a clean house,children clean and dress,a wife trying to look happy after a struggling all the day with all the situations that she have to deal...

Yes, I have read some article before that women sometimes look older than men. It's because men secrete more sebum oil on their skin than women. According to lovelyish.com, People with oily skin generally have thicker skin layers, allowing them to store much more fat, nutrients in the subcutaneous layer of our skin, and adequate water in our Papillary Layer. Having an oily skin is really annoying, but it helps us look younger in the future.

Probably because women grow old faster than men. I mean, girls do reach puberty earlier than boys. Their growth spurts come earlier also. Ever noticed in primary or middle school, most girls are taller than boys? Girls even celebrate their womanhood when they reach 18. Boys, well, we celebrate it when we're 21.

From what I can gather men have thicker skin than women, which explains a lot.
