People still age hard.
Some people don't.

I am mid 30s and a girl in her late 20s and guy in his early twenties both told me they thought I was their age.

I know a guy like 3 years younger than me that looks like he is in his mid fourties.

I had that feeling at one point watching old Twilight Zone episodes, but it turned out most of the really old looking 30 year olds were in their mid to late 40's. Also for no reason, the actress who played Rizzo in Grease was 34 playing 18 and Olivia Newton John was late 20's.

It still blows my mind that Clark Gable was in his thirties in Gone With the Wind

It's always a weird disconnect seeing mid to late 20 year olds playing 17 or 18 year olds on TV.

Depending on the person, there are people in their thirties who can easily pass for teenagers

I was noticing the same thing the other day. People in their thirties back then looked like they were in their late forties.

I immediately think of Beth (Emily Kinney) in The Walking Dead and Regina (Rachel McAdams) in Mean Girls.

I assume that is because people smoked a lot more back then.

Idk kinda depends a lot on what you do for a living and how you take care of yourself

Working in an office, not drinking/smoking, eating healthy, and keeping your skin moisturized? Yea you'll look a lot younger

Working highway construction? Thats going to be tougher on you.

Lots of factors, money/cushy job helps

I was just having this conversation with a friend the other day. People age slower now because we have more resources to be healthy.

People age the same but mature differently than back then. Man in his 30s in the 1970s already had a home, family, was saving for retirement, worked on his car himself, fed the chickens, slopped the hogs, created a Fortune 500 company, dressed as Santa at Christmas every year, and wouldn't go anywhere near an avocado.

Very different from today's 30 year old basement dweller.

Yea that 1970s guy also benefitted from 40 years of economic growth, minimum wage increases, cheaper college, and then after he got his little slice decided that no one else should get some of the American Dream.

Even old people today look crazy young. Hell Donald Trump hasnt worked out a day in his life and had the worst diet you can have, yet he could pass as a man in his late 50s with his spray on tan in addition to how he carries himself.

It depends on the person. Some people naturally end up aging better than others, and that's before you add other stuff that can affect it to the mix (like drinking, smoking, etc.).

I'm 36, and have been told by more than a couple people that I could pass as being in my mid 20s, for example.
