Social Do you notice men in their 30s look younger now compared to past generations?

Some of my older cousins in their late 30s could easily pass for mid to late 20s. Even some of my friends thought some of my older family friends were mid to late 20s before.

What could be the cause? Staying in the house more now? Not doing as much drugs, smoking or booze as boomers?

Nicotine? No secret cigarettes were most popular with boomers. Millennials had all those cancer ads on smoking packets and ads saying don't smoke. Gen Z now is heavy into vaping so their gen is caught up in nicotine in a different way. Millennials seem to mostly be potheads if a smoking preference.
 
Same. If you eat clean, exercise, use sunscreen, keep stress low, and avoid physical labor jobs then you should for the most part look exactly the same at 35 as you did at 25
Im sure it will catch up to me i have reduced a bit used to smoke like a chimmney up to 3 packs a day now im down to 1 pack though i never see myself quitting totally.
 
Not having kids helps. Most of my friends from high school who are married and have kids looked like they're in their 40s when they were 30. A 24 girl recently thought I was her age, but I'm nearing 40. I'm single, no kids, live relatively healthy, stay active and fit, have excitement/spontaneity in my routine, and sleep with women in their 20s to steal their youthful energy.
 
Yes. Because now men care about their appearence more and are single more. And even the people in relationships think their relationships are more likely to fail and are more likely to keep themselves modestly attractive as an insurance policy.

In the old days people did not want to look like they were in their 20s forever.


Also smoking. It happened gradually but I think we've reached a point where most people do not smoke cigarettes.
 
I think in general people age better for probably the reasons you point out.

Yeah, because we actually worked manly jobs.
These twinks would die if they did real work.
 
I was just looking at a woman who kinda looked like a college girl based on clothes and body and hair, but face looked like older woman maybe aged faster from being drug addict.

Yeah cigs have been getting phased out but vapes got really popular especially among Gen Z. Some of my cousins' friends look way older, some noticeably balding barely at 20 years of age. Its getting weird.
