Back in high school, and at times I always admired the beauty that most of the popular girls had. They had so much attention, and I always had that feeling that they were going to be beautiful for a long time.
However after running into many of them, after years I say to myself "oh my, what happened"??? I am not trying to be negative, but 10 to 15 years after high school many woman just dont age gracefully. The irony is that the girl that most of the guys just did not notice or get as much attention as the popular girls in high, look way better than what they did back than and much better than many of the woman who grabbed all the intention. They also tend to be more successful and independent.
I see this trend all the time, and my friends agree with me. One theory of mine is because most women who tend to be apart of that popular clique tend to drink, smoke, and party hard during those early years, become dependent on someone, get pregnant, etc. This is one reason why I think most men, and I believe men are shallow as they are desperate, look for younger women, immediately when they see signs that there woman is aging. Men know subconsciously that many woman whether we all want to admit it or not, do not age gracefully.
As I said this does not pertain to every single woman, but it is something I would like to look into. Men look better when they age, and for women it is the complete opposite.
Except for me..I look younger than most people I went to high school with. I never followed the crowd I've always done what I liked. Some girls that were popular in high school Im like what the hell happened to you? It just seems to amaze me sometimes.
The guys and gals I have seen both can end up looking rough. Bother genders had people I only recognized because of the eyes. Some of the girls who had kids and smoked looked better than people that did not. Now THAT I find amazing. They even had tanned but never abnormally dark. Just normal summer color levels.
I was sharing class photos with people and they even remarked how much older some of the peers looked. I smoked and partied but never tanned.
It is usually based on how an individual has lived and genes. If you live a hard life (smoking, drugs, eating bad, drinking, partying all the time), you will look different in a few years. This is for men and women. If you have good genes, living hard may not have as much effect.
I dunno about you, but I'm going to my 35-year high school reunion next month looking pretty much as I did in my yearbook photo ...
Yeah. My mom, aunts, and others on the maternal side of my family look good even as they get older. I have gotten so used to it, I am shocked when I see a 40 year old who doesn't look 25-30 ish.
Everyone is different, but one thing is undeniable: we all will age.
Nevertheless, some people place emphasis on their physical appearance and some don't. I've read some serious generalizations about the "popular girl in high school who wore too much make up, drank too much, smoked too much, etc."
That wasn't the case at my high school. Unless you know 100% of the world's population, you can't make such sweeping generalizations.
