Maybe not in those words, but that's what they're unconsciously thinking. I find know other rational explanation for botox or spending a fortune or tucks and lifts.

If I could have just stopped aging at 20 I definitely would have wanted to. However, knowing that I can't stop my body from showing signs of aging, I would rather just age naturally. Most people who get botox and plastic surgery don't look younger to me, they just look... weirder, for lack of a better word.

People who live rougher lives often age faster. Exposure to heavy labour, stress, the outdoors, diet, disease etc. all take their toll. That's why I think it seems old photographs of people earlier in the 20th century, as well as people from troubled war-torn and impoverished countries look very "toughened by experience" for their age and often older than people living in more luxurious, safer environments.

The genetics of a person don't exist alone, without an environment to express themselves in, more generally speaking.

Yeah, I have to admit that I feel a little silly, but the speed limit is low and there's little traffic.

Who doesn't want to look younger? Nobody wants to look old, where is the fun in that?

I tried this and the pencil falls off.
