Why did older generations look older than we do?

A few years ago

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.

This i see nikkas and girls in high school who look older than me and im almost 30

 

[broller]

some of the white girls today who are like 18 look damn near 30

 

[Will Ross]

Have you seen the kids today they look way older than we did.

 

[Beck.er.]

Funny.
I get what you're saying but I've had the opposite stand out to me, people looking all childlike compared to teens and young folk today.

How people dressed and carried themselves made everyone seem old by middle age though.

Father's dad died when he was only 8. My grandmother would do farm work and he would go to grade school. When he got home she would still be at work so he had to learn how to really take care of himself.

Im 28 and waiting for weed to be delivered to my house. I have it on super easy modo compared to when they were my age.

They definitely were mentally older

 

[Huellz Santana]

because they had kids earlier. having kids ages you. my homie has two kids and he looks 10 years older than me.

im 33 and look relatively young, but that's because i lead a "young mans life"​

I'm 32 and I be seeing people under 25 as kids almost.

Then again I still ride a skateboard.

 

[yeyeye]

Because back then, men were men.
Today, lil ngas is mega p*ssyfied and shyt.
Damn shame dudes act just like their mammies in so many ways.

you nikka will jump on any opportunity to hate on us young nikkas huh

They all had high levels of lead in their bodies from leaded fuels.
We are effectively much healthier than they were.

My parents are from a third world country lol Looking at my mom's teen photos is depressing as fukk. Like the smiles in them weren't legit until the ones you see she took in the US

ok. prime example of who OP is talking about

If you're familiar with Otis Redding... he performed such songs as "setting on the dock of the bay"

He died at 26 years old.

so any pic you've seen of him he'll be no older then 26
