So what? Its white people as a population - not individuals - some of who fall in every part of the aging spectrum.
The bottom line is white skin does not photoage as well due to its greater susceptibility to UV.
Can't do too much about it other than hiding indoors and not living.
here's from a BBC article citing a scientific paper
"if you go back to 1979 there was a study from Kays Kaidbey and his colleagues in the United States, which found that on average 55% of ultraviolet A rays penetrate Caucasian skin while fewer than 18% get through African-American skin. This is why photoageing is delayed in people with dark skin."
and "In people with skin types IV (Asian skin) through to VI, photoageing is delayed and many people notice very few lines on their faces before they reach their fifties or sixties. (Still, there is individual variation, and a minority will look in the mirror and see those tell-tale lines appearing at a younger age.)"
Everyone knows this of course if they are being honest and not just PC, but science backs it up.
I am 66, my Chinese wife is 47...We both look 10 years younger than our ages...We were recently with another couple in which the man is 60 but looks like 50 but the wife is 64 and looks like 74...Why oh why do men marry older women ??? Western women age faster than men and the men pay the price later with a much older looking wife...I know, I know it's all about love yadda yadda yadda...But pray tell why do older men like looking at younger women and not older women ???
Girls, you may fire when ready...
I saw your profile and your wife is nice looking and I wouldn't say she looks 37 (will have to see a closeup) and of course there's no grey hair so that helps. You on the other hand do look your age. Sorry.
Btw, why do you assume only "girls" will fire at you? You must think you're some kind of big shot just because you married someone younger than you? Who gives a flip?
You look like a sugar daddy that couldnt find an American wife and had to look overseas. You do not look 10 years younger. You look like my dad a little - same age.
My mom looks 10 years older than my dad because she is very sick. I hope she doesn't come across such statements like yours.
Hahaha

Unfortunately for you, you totally look your age.

Where did you get that idea? Women typically live longer than men
Yes, white women don't age well. White people in general don't age well.

I quoted Atlanta who said that white women don't age well. I am a white woman, therefore part of the group. It is not so what. Every white woman is an individual and do not represent all white women.
You cannot say white women don't age well. That is a broad generalization. You can see SOME white women don't age well....
There are plenty of white people just on CD who look younger than their age. So what!
