I always wondered this...
I'm 37 and people think I'm in my 20s still...so why did generations before us look so old when they were not?
Good point.did you have to deal with segregation, civil rights, lynchings and being out working hard in the sun all day?

Them old cali gangbangers looked like professional bodybuilders.I always laugh looking at old photos of Cali gangs. Bs and Cs in their 20s looked like they were in their 30s in prime shape with full mustaches.
Na they physically looked washed for people in their 30sThey were acting and dressing their age. They weren’t 35+ poein it up in the club on weekends.
