Women have it easier hair wise, most have lush hair even if isn't naturally thick, it always looks good if they take care of it. They do have hair loss but tends to occur much later and light diffuse thinning, barely noticeable. Of course there are exceptions but I haven't really seen a woman with a horseshoe lol, noticeable recession, hole in the crown or just widespread diffuse pattern with the horseshoe visible in outline. With makeup, remaining thin the average 40 year old woman looks better than a fat, wrinkled baldy. Well, if Anglo both look bad overall but the woman retains some appeal unlike the man provided she looks after herself.
There is no way that a 50 year old man can be mistaken for a 28 year old one. The skin does not lie.
True, crazy how some old men think they look half their age, probably a missed youth/life plays a role. I think those who are aging well can often look up to a decade younger, rest is pure delusion. With surgery, can push max 15 years younger perhaps. Race plays a big role, orientals can often look way younger like black people, perhaps even beyond a decade. Thanks to the southern European in me I still pass for mid to late 20s and I think I'll always look around 7-8 younger than my years. The real test is how people of that age or younger see you and they've always mistaken me. But I noticed since I'm happily with my own family doing things, I don't even care anymore, I still maintain myself but I've realised I just don't care much now deep down if I'm honest even when I am travelling with my friends. I think this is really healthy and it's not the same at all as a depressed lonely guy eating/drinking himself to death with poor hygiene, on the contrary I have everything I want and I no longer value the appearance as much. There's just way more out there to discover and do. Not downplaying how looks make a difference with setting things up in life, a good youth etc, actually very important for fulfilment in life, but beyond that you don't want to be a sad old fart trapped with a kid's mentality!
Better to aim to look good, not necessarily younger as you age and lead a balanced life without an overt focus on looks, I understand it's hard for some but it should be something to work towards. Once you're settled (in the right way, not the urban definition of settling/coping lol), life should change dramatically
I'm talking generally here not to you iCloud, I have a habit of rambling
