But I am looking older lately.

I honestly think that people look their best between 18-21

After that, its just maintainence.

People can be attractive at ANY age, but the peak is early 20s.
How old are you?

People can peak at any age 18-40. It just depends on the person and how they take care of themselves.

It just demonstrates how absurd some of these "studies" are.

Besides, how many Hollywood marriages last anyway?? Quite a few stars have gone through 3 or 4 husbands before they were even 30, and had more after that.
THE AGERAGE 40 YEAR OLD DOESN'T LOOK LIKE JLO.

What part of that don't you understand. Your using outlier examples and Try to make it seem like its common

As for Ashton they did get married but
A. The average 40 year old does not look like Demi
B. they broke up and he got a younger hotter chick

Biological functions like you described also change. Like I have pointed out before, what was considered old in the medieval times?? Before World War II there was no word "teenager" and the culture that goes along with being a teenager that we know today. Before then People 18-20 were largely considered just youth or young adults. It was after WWII that the word "teenager" and their culture came into existence: Television, rock n roll, fashions, etc. Long before WWII in the middle ages and the biblical times a woman was EXPECTED to be married with children before the age of 20. Times change. A lot of us are still living in the 20th century for the most part, and it is time to move into the 21st century and the 3rd millennium. After all, we have already been there for 12 years now.

Young adult at 30???? That should be full grown adult. LOL Young adult is around 18-25 in my opinion.

Agreed.

Unfortunately these female celebs are skewing both men and women's idea and expectations of what a 35-40+ should look like. These woman are famous for a reason: good genetics!!!! They have above average looks to begin with. Then add plastic surgery and/or other medical procedures (fillers, lasers) on top of staff for hair (weaves/extensions) and makeup. They make aging look easy and good!!!


You get used to seeing woman in media who aren't aging naturally, so when you look around at everyday women, they look like they haven't faired as well.

I disagree that all women at 29 are over the hill. Plus mila is a dime and if he marries her there at least in the same age range(29-33) not a 16 or 17 year gap.

NEWS FLASH: You become a fully grown adult around 18-21. After 21 there is nothing restricting you.

Times is changing all over the world(or should be). Time for us to seriously move into the 21st century. You must be from an older generation?? Either way, your kind of thinking is outdated.

There was also a popular modeling competition that aired on TV Land for women over 35. Times are changing. Technology, science and people taking care of themselves is also changing. LETS DO THIS!!

Where exactly do you live?? You must live in some little town somewhere.

BTW, how old are you??

Like I also said, Mila Kunis is 29. What is going to happen next year when she hits the age you claim that women magically turn into dust??

I gave a few more years knowing a lot of folks in their early twenties are still completing their educations. But yes, you're right, there's nothing restricting you after 21. Just mentality.
