I mean yeah that seems accurate to me

I'm in my forties and have no wrinkles. I have a few friends who have wrinkles but most of them don't. Maybe you should drink more water and wear more sunscreen.
Not even any fine lines? Hard to believe.

...look here you little shit -
I know you're claiming it's not possible but I'm 38, I've done mostly night shifts and stayed out of the sun, I moisturize religiously and have since I was a teen, and I don't smoke and barely drink (ADHD meds don't play nice with alcohol).
I'm wrinkle-free.
Now compare to my sister, a few years older than me, used to tan growing up by laying out and getting a sunburn, has smoked since we were teens. Insanely wrinkled. Big, deep wrinkles.
This happens. I think the other person was being flippant and dismissive but... it happens!
Sorry, I refuse to believe that you do not have a single facial wrinkle that wasn't there in your 20s or early 30s. I just don't believe it. It's impossible. Perhaps people are misunderstanding me and thinking I mean a shit ton of wrinkles that make you look like you're 80? Because no, that's not what I'm saying.

That's such BS dude. You're telling me you have absolutely no wrinkles that weren't there in your 20s or early 30s? Not a single one. That's absolute bullshit I'm sorry. Unless you're claiming to be some genetic oddity and are immortal, you are lying.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I just double-checked in the mirror, and I don't have any wrinkles yet either.
That's what happens when you don't go outside enough, I guess!
(I am starting to get a few gray hairs, though, if it makes you feel any better.)

Again I doubt that strongly. No one has crows feet?

That’s because by 40 almost everyone has some wrinkles as the elastin wears down in places with frequent movement like the corners of your eyes or your forehead.
I can buy that a singular person at 40 might have few wrinkles but suggesting most they know at 40 do not is an insane claim.

Then you'll love
the source of my plagiarismmy museI would never have gotten that reference. It's delightfully absurd and obscene, though.

Jesus christ, how much do people smoke in these comments to habe wrinkles in their 30's?! It's completely possible to be wrinkle free at the exact age of 40.

I met one of my neighbors kids the other day. They're new to the neighborhood so we were talking about the ages of his family members compared to mine. He just turned 6. I asked how old his dad was and he said 50 or 60. I could see his dad across the yard and he's definitely younger than me. I asked how old he thought I was and he said 70. I'm 36. Kids can be meaner on accident than assholes are on purpose.

If you have wrinkles at 40 you need to wear more sunscreen and drink more water.
If you have wrinkles at 40 you need to wear more sunscreen and drink more water.
But also even if you don't have wrinkles you should wear sunscreen and probably drink more water anyway.

All of my replies are being downvoted now, lol. I swear man....Lemmy is fucking stupid. The people here are absolute clowns and make the Reddit population look intelligent. It's really bad.

Are we all assuming everyone in this conversation is white? Because I know plenty of black and Asian friends who I don't recall having wrinkles. Most of them have pretty solid moisturizing/lotion/sunscreen routines, though, so it's hard to tell how much is cultural versus genetic.

"When I am 40, I will have lost my will to live over 20 years prior. I simply wait to die every day. Occasionally I try to do things I think I might enjoy, only to be proven wrong."

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I think any race will show wrinkles at 40. Some more than others, sure. But definitely all races will at least have SOME newer wrinkles at age 40. To deny this is insanity.

Impossible. Not physically possible. If you were to compare your face to a close up high res pic of your younger self, you wil 100% see changes and wrinkles. They may be small but they're there. No way in absolute hell this isn't true.

I do a facial once a week. I do microdermabrasion once a week. I can't stress enough that I hate the sun. I'm sorry if that isn't your experience, but it happens. I'd share a picture of my face, but I'm trying not to completely dox myself.
Eta: And lots of water. Gotta drink lots of water.

When is this from? When I was the age of the two kids shown, both of my parents were over 40 and I (nor my peers) wouldn't have thought these things. Now I am over 40 and I still don't think these things. I have a niece from a younger sibling who is this age, and she might think these things, but she is also allowed unfiltered access to youtube except when I am around.
Yeah, the kids under ten that are in my life know how old their parents are, and can make reasonable assessments of the age of other adults from that. They would never think someone who is 40 looks more like someone who is in their 60s or 70s.
