This is for the TV quality women out there who are 30 and over. Ok, you must understand there are attractive 30 - 54 aged women on this site. And they look young even in recent photos. Can anyone volunteer stuff like what kind of life you lived? Daily schedule while you were in your 20s? Where you worked in your 20s? Which college or high school you went to?

I just find it strange I can find so many young looking older women.

I just wanna know how some look so young. Like this woman in my Entreprenuership class.
You couldn't guess it right away but she is 31. So I am like WTF, how?

And she says I am too young to date her. But, that is beside the point.

My guess? Genes, and of course in the end "what you eat".

If you eat crap, you look like crap, as the saying goes: "You are what you eat".

Then there is sun, sun simply does "kill" skin, no way around it. If you're constantly outside and exposed your skin will be toast sooner rather than later.

But in the end: Genes.

I'm ONLY going by what I've been told- that I look 10 yrs younger
I think it is likely hereditary and not smoking must help

Genes? I don't know, I get told often by the guys on site that I don't look as old as I am but who knows. Fresh ocean air would be my only thought.

paigeĀ® - you look great!

I've been told by many people that they are surprised to find out how old I am. Problem is a lot of guys search based on age, so even if look younger, they pass us by.

Hmmm - and here I was thinking that I've seen a lot of pics of men and women who looked, frankly, far older than their profile indicated.

But maybe it's all in the perception.

Or the deception.

Or maybe it's just the stronger beer that gives us Canucks that youthful "glow"?

JK, Fry-lock...I look every bit my 34 years too

what a silly question if you'd ask me..BUT there are like thousands of other silly questions throughout the forums over the years so why should this be a surprise lol.


Lets all just go by the saying, if you are young at heart, then you are young!!

There are several explanations and contributing factors:
- genetics
- avoiding sun
- not smoking
- not drinking
- avoiding risky behaviors
- good diet
- exercise
- positive outlook on life
- plastic surgery!

I see a lot of the women that post in the forums and most of them do look younger than they say they are. With a lot of the men it is the opposite.

I don't care what anyone says men simply age sooner than women. Society simply allows men to be more wrinkled up than women and still be considered good looking. My son is a good example. He is only 22 and I can see the crows feet starting to appear. His girlfriend who is the same age looks like she is about 14.

hmm...certainly some women live their lives with a great sense of optimism which can project a younger state of mind and attitude; they may be able to handle the levels of stress in their lives having a more positive spin on things.

Having said that, Biology proves that we reap the rewards of actually feeling and looking younger by a conscientious lifestyle of activity (whether that is being involved in recreational sports such as biking, hiking, swimming, tennis just to name a few, or just taking more walks and stairs throughout your day-to-day routine). In addition, "you are what you eat" hense the right kinds of foods will have a direct affect on your skin, hair texture, and figure over time. Again biologically speaking, over exposure to the sun and excessive alchohol/tabacco intake reverse the healthy growth of muscles and tissues (over time).

So I guess to find the 'fountain of youth' is to be good to yourself!

Hmmm...welllll I smoke...I don't eat the healthiest...although I do try....I don't get half as much exercise as I should.....yet I still weigh in at 120lbs ( thanks to a high metabolism)...look great in low-rider jeans...and have men half my age...literally...lol..hitting on me all the time.....so all I can think of is it's either the fact I'm Canadian and drink a looot of water....the fact I am Canadian and appreciate our good strong beer...the fact I am pale so tanning only happens after I burn to a crisp...so I tend to avoid it..lol...or the fact that I have a pretty upbeat, optimistic attitude/perspective on life.

I think it's really more about the attitude...but I can go with the Canadian thing if you all like!

I look about 10 years younger than I am. It has to do with good genes, a lifestyle without excess alcohol and no cigarette smoking, and good moisturizing. But I think the biggest factor is the heredity factor. Both my parents look great well into their 70s.

Could be all the preservatives in processed foods.
Someone actually believed me when I said that.

I agree with my two friends. It is the virgin blood...
I look young for my age. It is due to no smoking, not a lot of sun and great skin care products.
