Why did older generations look older than we do?

[cam>]

What hard ass lives though?

If you're in your 20s now, your parent's gen were in their 20 in the 80s and 90s.

What hard lives were they leading in the 90s?

Post industrialization, post urbanization, white collar and service industry jobs are the norm, most tools are automated if not digitized.


Where's the hard life, save for extreme poverty and crack?

They didn't look older. It was just the style then....more beards, less make up and all that shyt.

I will say this though.....this the fatest generation of them all. Young folks were never this fat. I can look at my parents year book pictures and maybe see one pr two fat people. Looked at my niece year book pictures and fat jokers were all in that year book......

But why would chopping down trees make your beard come in full?

Physical activity boosts testosterone production

it was that, plus the murder rate and I think crime in general was much higher in the 80's and 90's. Don't know why you would try to downplay the crack epidemic, that shyt fukked people's lives up badly, and I can say that after witnessing first hand what it did to people.

Less photoshop

Makeup was for special occasions

Didn't try to look younger



With that said, I've seen plenty of high school students that look late 20's and most 20 year olders now look late 30's.


If you mean online I agree, but your average person out and about looks 10 times there age now.

Let's be honest our grandparents went through a lot more life than we did, when I was 21-22, I had got my first job out of school had a son, by the time my grandfather was 22, he had been working for 7 years, fought in WW2, married for 4 years, had 3 children with a 4th on the way, worked in a can factory, had a house and drove a Cadillac.

Like, look at your parent's yearbooks. They were in high school looking 35. 13 with full beards. Even in pre mid century photos, top hats and all that, why did they look so old in the face?


I've heard new age hotep theories that we're becoming less dense as The Age of Aquarius approaches, and I sometimes wonder if it's simply associative bias where we see artifacts as old even in their time.


Children are going through puberty earlier now, and they still don't seem to age as rapidly as past generations.

What do u think?

I had a full beard in 8th grade

 

[RandomDudeOnColi]

Probably had to do with stress.

It seems your eyes are failing you - you might need to see an optician.

People from that generation actually look younger than we do.

With this generation - it is a tad difficult to tell people's ages by looking at them. I have seen tons of teenagers who look like they are in their late 20s.
