I find Italians and Spaniards age very well...it's not that they look young for their age but they just look very good for their age...

In terms of the place i've been where people age the worst...it's Georgia hands down for me...

I also think that English age terribly.
And...bad teeth.

Definitely not the French. For such an attractive people, time is not their friend.

First of all, I think you mean "British." England isn't the only country there, but I'm sure you know that...right?

Second, how do you know that they age worse than, say, New Yorkers? I've seen lots of people from NYC and the U.S NE generally who "age terribly" and have bad teeth.

Not much stereotyping going on here from the 'fat' boy is there?

[ABQConvict]

Those who exercise, eat well, and avoid excessive sun exposure will age the most gracefully. Everything else is subjective.

I suppose it is all subjective if you like wrinkly, jaundiced hunchbacks with a limp.

But seriously, you can't generalize by country or region on this in my opinion.

Yes, this is just another Brit-bashing thread.

The stereotype of the British having bad teeth is just wrong. In fact, all British children (and others on low income), get free dental treatment through our National Health Service (NHS).
